Heard 2 months ago it was going to be tested then released for us to try online. There are alot of problems that make this sim STILL
a real hassle to fly online, I had heard that the beta patch from MH was going to address alot of that. So when???????

Stardog,I hear ya, just hang on. That CTD is a problem but remember Mike is doing this all basically for "free" for us and he is doing it on his own time. Life and family have to come before any work on this patch. It will be here from (what I hear) as soon as a "Flight Dynamics" bug is squashed. Condor out ------------------

No dont get me wrong i appreciate everything MH has ever done for this sim on his own time. Its just frustrating to still have all the fundamental problems that this sim still has. I love this sim and have been away from it for quite a while flying Aces High and now that it is going pay me and some of my squadies wanted to come back and see where SDOE was now and hopefully take it up again. But after downloading the new planepack, while the new planes is cool and I understand that everyone wants to design new planes but those new planes do no good what so ever if the sim doesnt work any better then it does. And again I am not trying to get flamed here its just we flew it again the other night for the first time in a long time and we flew for hours and it was constant problems with planes disappearing, CTD's , twitchy controls, ect. All the problems that it had 6 months ago when we stopped flying it fly Aces High. I understand very well the committment that MH has showed towards this sim and the community and respect that more then you know. Its just I see alot of talk about all these new planes and getting a list together for all the openplane addons ect. Shouldnt some of that energy be spent towards getting this baby to where we can actually fly it without all the problems? Maybe im totally off the mark here and if this offends anyone i am truly sorry I just like this sim alot and was hoping to come back to it and I just cant say that its worth coming back to until the fundamental problems are fixed.IP: Logged |

Hi Stardog, I hear ya  For me it's worth it even with the bugs. I'd really like a release patch too but we don't have much choice other than to sit tight and be patient. The Fighter Ace 2 territorial combat and realistic rooms are a good diversion until the patch comes out.. at $10/month they're not picking your pocket as blatantly as Aces High. TS

Hey TS good to see ya still around dude!
Again I meant no offence to anyone here just frustrated. Hey didnt see you in Aces High a few times? Could have sworn I did 
Its a shame that they want $30/Month for it now, me and my squadies have really had a great time flying that baby since it went beta months ago, I really have grown to like that dynamic arena kind of thing. Plus 100+ people in the air at one time with almost zero lag is fun. But until they get a historical/organized arena it aint worth the money. Tends to get alot like quake with just a big open arena, no one cares if they die and they fly that way which take alot of the realism out of it. But still love the FM, really gave me the feeling of flying, aside from the super blackouts
Maybe some of the FM guys here could look at aces high while its still free for 2 weeks and check that FM out, seems very realistic to me at least in terms of how the planes respond to input and energy bleed. Just my thoughts dont mean nothing really.
Good to see ya thoughIP: Logged |

Yup you probably saw me in there a few times! The hat views eventually drove me buggy so I gave up on it. Good to hear they fixed their FM problems! Check out Fighter Ace 2 if you haven't.. hundreds of people fighting at same time, ground war, tanks, bombers etc etc. Plus real nations like japan,russia,germany,britain,usa with moving fronts. TS

hey ya i forgot to mention I did download FA2. I think it feels decent but the cockpit was all blurry I couldnt read none of the gauges ro anything and I hate to fly without it. Any idea what causes that? I have a voodoo3 card and directX 7. Everything else looked pretty good but the cockpit was freaky lookin

Hey Stardog
http://tailslide.firelight.dynip.com/Files/Mission%20Pack%20v0.99%20Beta.zip download this multiplayer mission pack it has something like 258 missions. If everyone uses this, nobody will have CTDs because noone will be sending missions. IP: Logged |

Stardog, you were probably flying the beta version.. the cockpits were the last thing they fixed up before releasing it. TS

Hey thanks PA we will give that a try.
Tailslide i dont think it is the beta, I just downloaded last weekend from the site. What it seems like to me is that its the 3d cockpit cause i can look around with my mouse and it is very distorted. When I hit f2 to get the regular cockpit view it looks the same as when i use crtl f4 to get the 3d cockpit. The numbers are really big and distorted too. Not sure what the deal is with that, im going to continue to look into it though. Thanks for your helpAnd thanks again PA Stone for the missions we will give them a shot
