Have you actually done research on the planes in AC6? I'm guessing that a lot of it won't work out to be correct. I've tried the online multiplayer, but it's just like BoP Arcade: you won't stall, you can turn as sharply as you want, and it's obvious to see where everybody is.
For me AC6 online is rubbish, although I like the SP (inverse of what I normally like :P).

Ace 6 definitely isn't realistic, that's pretty much an undisputed fact I think. But it should be pretty fun for an alternative when I can't get a game on BoP and need a flight "sim" fix on my 360. ;)

"what didnt happen while I was away?!"

Really, you don't think the sim mode of BoP is truly a Sim? It seems pretty simmy to me. What makes it not a sim to you?

Kind of hard to define 'real sim'. For recreational use BoP is sim enough for me, and I do believe it's in the sim category. Of course it can't be compared to a FNPT II sim, like some people want it to be.

funny but i dont remember actually saying ace6 was a realistic sim ???
i remember saying it is fun to play and you can allways find a game online without waiting ages tho ??

oh and come to think i did mention the realism of ace combat the point i made about it being unrealistic becuse you start of with 80 odd missiles and unlimited guns !!!

maybe you should do some reaserch before you decide to jump on everybodys post with your holyer than tho attitude ???

90% percent of your posts are beating ppl down for not posting in the right thread ! or maybe when you are jumping on ppl for starting a thread when there might allready be a simular thread allready (how dare they!!)
or just plain beating ppl down becuse you happen to know something better than they do !!!

why dont you just go and ask the admin to make you a mod allready or get over yourself

sorry but in the last week your posts have been grating me quite a lot

Calm down, cowboy. Wasn't attacking anyone, sorry if you felt I did. Was just commenting on the "all planes work correct" part. I don't have any facts, but I'm guessing the planes work just as correct in AC6 as in BoP.

As a reaction on the personal attack: find 5 posts in which I complain it's in the wrong thread, and find 5 posts in which I think the OP shouldn't have created the thread because it's a double. Good luck.
As for the mod comment: I can see how people think that, excuse me for wanting a nice forum. The only people that really seem to mind are those that my comments are aimed at. If there's others, feel free to not post it on the forums.

Hi Doc
A flight sim is a tool designed to train pilots in correct procedures by acurately "simulating" aircraft performance and handling characteristics. BoP, while it is lotsa fun, in no way replicates an actual aircraft. Take spin recovery, for example. In most aircraft, particularly a high powered prop driven one, the 2 steps in spin recovery are 1) power to idle and 2) opposite rudder. In many cases the plane simply flies itself out once power is reduced. BoP probably requires a different technique because the rudder and throttle are so difficult to employ seperately in the game, so it is understandable. Just don't try the BoP technique in a real plane (ouch!) LoL. But why are so many of the flight models so messed up? Why does the Spitfire try to snap roll every time you pull any G, when anyone who ever flew the real thing claimed that it "had no vices" ? Why does the FW190 Butcher Bird fly like a piece of bird crap? Please understand that I am NOT trying to bash the game, it is in fact one of my favorites. I just think that a true "Flight Sim" should be closer to the real thing. BoP is a toy, and that's fine 'cause we like toys. BoP is in fact a lot more fun than most "simulators" that I've dealt with in the past LoL
