Author	Topic: You are so Stupid!
Stephen Pilot	posted 12-01- 12:24 PM If you are calling B17II really gay and stupid because the P38 has no gun site then why dont you say fighter squadron is really gay and stupid because the Spitfires Dont even have a mirror and when you move the guns in the B17(not the turrets) they make the same noise. Now you tell me what is BETTER. I think Both are very good games!!! IP: Logged
Bulldog2 Pilot	posted 12-01- 12:53 PM Errrr I think you are in for a beating!!! I really would not call anyone stupid in this forum. IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 12-01- 01:00 PM I didnt say the whole game B-17II is stupid.... Im just saying that some parts are REALLY stupid. (Like the P-38 gunsite not being there) SDOEs engine cannot handle mirroring. In fact... not too many flight sims can do mirroring. Wonder why that is? IP: Logged
Stephen Pilot	posted 12-01- 01:29 PM I wasent pointing anyone out but i was just saying that the idea of someone not liking a game because it has no gun site is kinda stupid because the game they like has some of the same problems. anyway why cant most sims have a mirror?

Yardstick Pilot	posted 12-01- 01:42 PM B-17 is a good game and I want it to be better. Consequently I'm not going to be fobbed off with bullshit excuses. The only complaint I have with the game (assuming the major issues i.e. CDTs stuttering graphics and the freezing timeskip are patched), is that it is all very familiar. The gameplay is identical to the original and having played that to death about 10 years ago, I have a sense of been there done that. So to summarise and slip seamlessly into Kyle character: "Stephen what the fuck are you talking about?" If you can't understand the conversations of grown-ups, don't join in. ------------------ Yardstick painted this IP: Logged

Private Roger Pilot	posted 12-01- 03:05 PM Clearly an English Major. Stephen, do you kiss your mother with that mouth? When you have to resort to that type of outburst you lose any credibility you may have ever had. I think you should go to "time out" and come back here when you think you can talk like an adult.

wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 12-01- 03:17 PM Stephen, If you must, go do it in Flamewars. It's what it's there for. Otherwise, take a hike. Allsorts of people of all ages use this forum, and mouthing off like that isn't appreciated. Hawk...shift this sucker where it belongs! IP: Logged

Raider Pilot	posted 12-01- 04:11 PM Kids.... Stephen if you are going to flame, post it in the flame war area. Don't worry this will be moved there I assure you. BTW When you pick on Yardstick you pick on the lot of us. Hope you are up for it IP: Logged
Stark Pilot	posted 12-01- 04:27 PM Stephen... To answer your question as to why most sims don't support mirroring... well, it's hard to do it right and can be a signifigant drain on the system. Most renderers aren't very well set up for it and so to keep the frame rates up it is not included. Luckily for us MH and crew had to do some work for RC Simulator that will get rolled into a future patch for FS... and will allow us to have mirrors. Can you say the same about the lack of a gunsight in one of the user flyable planes in B17? Didn't think so. Perhaps you don't think that having a gunsight is neccesary but it gets damned hard to hit a FW in a fight without one, now doesnt't it? Kinda makes for a huge impact in gameplay if you want to be an escort now doesn't it? In fact it's a whole hell of a lot more impact than the lack of a rear view mirror. -Stark IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 12-01- 04:35 PM Stephen, ditto what Raider said. btw, I see in your profile you are from BC. British Columbia I take it. Vancouver? I have some relatives there. If you know some Hawk's up there there's a good chance they are my relatives. I'm being nice because you DID say you like SDOE, so...

Mirthain Pilot	posted 12-02- 04:05 AM Actually, the mirror issue is that doing a mirror with a non 2d renderer is VERY difficult... bear in mind that in CFS2, they still use the primary view as a 2d object. Mirrors on those are basically like any other 2d view, a whole screen that looks a direction. In a true 3d space such as ours, you either have to make a true reflection (Major Pain in the ass) or create a small window that is showing a different camera view.... another big pain in the ass. That is why you will see mirrors with alot of the older games, but almost none of the 3d cockpit games. Oh, quick question... did the 38 have a mirror too? They did you know? ------------------ Mirthain=FC= IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 12-02- 10:53 AM I know for a fact that the P-38Ls didnt have mirrors. (I have rather detailed pics of a P-38Ls cockpit.) IP: Logged
