The WW1 Fokker D.III. pictures looks like "Red Baron II" or "Red Baron III", from the graphics.
I always prefered the Pfaltz myself. Out of all the simulators ever made, the "Red Baron" series was the best ever .... it would make a good console game, so long as they don't loose the realism somehow with the usual "dumbing down for kids" way some conversion to consoles go. Bad Company made COD 4 and COD WaW look seriously crap by comparison. COD 2 and COD 3 were the best versions and the multiplayer on both is superior to the later versions. The only gripe with Bad Comapny is that holding a knife makes a player bullet proof. Operation flashpoint has a few bugs and the first update patch arrived yesterday. Still loads to be fixed and the Code Masters were against releasing it before all the bugs were fixed. Now the game is in running repair. The days of one person writing a PC gaming classic alone, such as "X-Com Alien Unknown" are long gone. The likes of Jullian Gollop just don't exist anymore and it takes a team of programmers just to make something work with Windows. Not all computer or console games have bugs.... "Battle Stations Pacific" is bug free, so is "Left For Dead". Using the excuse that all games are full of bugs is like saying that because the Russian Voshkod motorcycle was a poorly built and unreliable piece of crap (I have a friend who owns one and it has never actually run in over 20 years) therefore it is OK to make all motorcycles like that. OK, so China seems to have fallen for that one. What is wrong with striving to make something as good as it possibly can be and showing up the competition??

join-in-progress cannot be added in Birds of Prey, but will be in sequel.
Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! When people ask was it Lee Harvey Oswald that shot and killed BOP, the answer is no, no it was not LHO, but rather the lack of this one simple item. You see when you have a limited community for a niche product, the last thing you want to do is segment the consumer into isolation where they cannot join or enjoy the limited numbers of players available. Otherwise, you will piss off the limited number of consumers that sit in their big fat lazy boy wasting thirty minutes of their life and their 120" projector bulbs life looking for a match that will never come. And after a limited amount of these wasting activities said customer will buy two more monitors and then enjoy their favorite PC sims at 4960x1600 resolution and not look back at the Russian console developers that love to put nuts in vices. In soviet Russia, not only does the game patch you, but it also pleasures your woman better, abuses your sports car and smokes your last cigarette! And Goat I enjoyed our few skirmishes where you violated me in ways I never thought possible with a La-7, but I fear my console flying days will be few and far between as I have enlisted in WWI

As for WWI, I will be joining you very shortly, I ordered OFF today and I'm going to get Rise of flight , in the next month. What kind of rig are you using to run these WWI sims ? I just built a new AMD 3.0 ghz quad, I just have the intergrated Nvidia 750a sli right now but I'm looking to buy a nice card to link with the intergrated card. If you get a chance, tell me your rig and what graphics level your running on the game. I'd appreciate the info. DESODE

holy crap l88bastard if we were all filthy stinking rich enough to have a gaming pc and 3 big screens we wouldn't be using ps3's would we.
The whole point of putting a game on console is to try to make it NOT a niche product (such as games for gaming pc's with wraparound screens are) but to get lots of people to play it I don't think join-in-progress is needed or that it would even be a wise addition. The last thing a 1 on 1 team battle needs is to suddenly turn into a 2-on-1 battle, or a 3-on-2. Not that it doesn't happen in real life, but it's pretty unfair to the unlucky player who suddenly gets double-teamed. But it should be possible to join the ROOM when the game is in progress. That's standard. Right now there can be a game in progress and you'd never know it cause quick match says there's none unless the match is waiting to start - which usually takes about a minute, compared to 10 minutes for the actual match. If they could just stop the matches from self-terminating after every round, and let people join the match lobby and wait for the next round, it would make a world of difference. what is the url of anton's forums, somebody should mention that the "own money" they spent on the patch will come back to them in the form of sales to people who aren't obligated to buy the game. If the patch fixes the MP then sales would jump probably 500 percent at least. Last edited by kozzm0; 11-05-2009 at 10:07 AM.

I was running an Evga 750iFTW motherboard, with a q6700 processor overclocked to 3.6ghz water cooled, with two 8800 ultras in SLI. My primary monitor is the gateway 30" xhd3000 at 2560x1600 resolution and I have flanked it with two dell 20" 2007fps at 1200x1600 resolution for a total of 4960x1600! Tomorrow I should be receiving my new q9650 processor which I will quickly be overclocking to 4ghz and a crossfire motherboard because I have jumped ship from Nvidia and purchased an XFX 5870 Because I have monitors of different resolutions in portrait x landscape x portrait mode, eyefinity currently does not support it, so I have to use SoftTH in order to take advantage of my tripple screen setup!

I will always enjoy the memories of violating you. Once you can take a break from that SWEET ASS GAMING RIG then send me a message and we can fly again. Who knows, I may use a Yak 3 next time.  I would join the Civil War if I had a rig like that.

Yep, I would hate to see what you could do to the competition if you had a rig like this! A 180 degree field of view, plus track ir and an amazing hotas setup with the logitec g940...yea you'd be a scary sob! Let me know when you win the lottery, so I can build you a dream setup! Over half the fun of pc gaming is building and tuning the computer!
