I don't answer to garbage so I will answer to the only part of your message that makes any "decent" sense. quote:
ORIGINAL: BarkhornXX OK, dude no problem. And in the meatime you should stick to commenting on Acesh High as that is - obviously - your first love. I got burned out of AH. I played it too much ,and there was a time when it was fun no more. I quitted it because of it. I have good memories from it. Some bad too (as in any online thing you get some bad things with some people now and then), but in all very positive. That was some two years and a half ago. Have tried new versions with H2H free-mode to fly now and then to test new planes, FM adjustements, and some few months ago the brand new 2.0 version (which I loved). Still have to go back for good, prolly someday I'll do it. For being "my first love", it's been a damned lot since I last started it ;). Nothing out of the rational there. in my opinion AH is a way more realistic WW2 product than Maddox games' products. However I respect your opinion and preferences, and your right to talk about them freely. So sad you don't know the meaning of the word "respect", nor you do respect my opinions, nor my right to talk about them. You very well portray the essence of the UBI forum community...so I don't need to say anything else to answer your words. Butch2k: of PF I won't say a thing. Of FB I can say little (don't own it, flew it only for a limited time on an online meeting). However you might tell me something about the Fw190D9 thing?... Il-2 was probably the best game realism and performance-wise. All the german planes (Xcept the 190A4) performed more or less like I thought of them. However the Fw190 FM was wrong (something Maddox implicitly admitted, for as far as I know, he changed it in FB) in energy keeping modelling, and the cockpit view issues with teh 190 will never go. The main problems of Il-2 don't come from the German side, but for the grossly overestimated soviet side. La5FNs running at 585-590km/h on the deck, LaGG3s overperforming Bf109F4s, soviet engines heating much later than german's, German planes' one-hit-pilot-kills, etc... That was what destroyed the fun for me. The version of FB I flew was a blow: It was even worse in some aspects, the awful metal bar on the 190 cockpit was still there, and the soviet planes still were outflying everything. I've been told that later versions improved things quite a bit. But when even a beta tester of FB tells you that Oleg's doing whatever he sees fit to improve the sim's gameplay over realism you lose all the little faith you could hold on him. And on FB I had little to start with, after seeing how the Il-2 patches were worsening the situation, not improving it. BTW I know you from other boards which I read a lot (LEMB mostly, after you closed your owns) and I have your opinion on the highest steem because I know you're extremely well documented. If you assure the Fw190A4 is correctly modelled, then I have nothing to say against it...I know a lot about WW2 fighter planes but you do know way more than me ,so... :)
