    You are kidding? LHX had better graphics, even ACE on c64 had better graphics.
    I know, fuck graphics, use imagination.

    Anyway, I would improve two things in FH. Tracker effects in 3d. I don't see any diffrence between trackes in 2d-3d mode. Laser shots from old xwing game. And hit effects.

    And hell, get rid of that cheat mode - 2d! ;-)

    you can see a lot better in 2D, you can see rox fired no matter how far away you are, not to mention that spotting cons is easier, acks are a lot more visible, do you want me to go on?

    Yeah. There isn't much I JUST LOVE TO DO more than staring into a screen looking for little tiny specks as big as a fly turd. Oh, unless I unclude in that I Hat This list, staring into a washed out 3 d warbirds and looking for specks in a LOW GAMMA 3d bullshit thing.
    If I had to play warbirds in 3d I would log in less than I do already.
    Since I started playing, I have been through a lot of video cards and none of them displayed the dirt below in any visible colours.Oh, I know there are actual colours there, but, well.... ya know, when colour is viewed in darkness it all looks the same, sort of, well, grey to black.

    I use 2d because wb graphx is terrible gamma or alpha or something I don't know how to say...
    I don't to 'cheat.'

    I just answered the man's question
    I didn't say it's cheating, it does give you an egde on a few things, but limits your viewing pleasure ;) so it's fine with me

    YEAH !!! What about that GAMMA thing....???

    I have to set my monitor on FULL MAX Bright AND MAX Contrast when I play FHWB. I looked all over and there is no gamma correction at all like most other games. What is with that?

    I've got a respectable but not super Nvidia card (something like GeForce 256megs 300mghz ActiveX9 blah blah blah...running 32 bit color(BTW I downloaded that patch and it didn't seem to cahnge anything) I've got some crazy HP super 19"er and also a SunMicro 22"er and they both suck when it comes to FHWB. Not the cheapest monitors on the planet either.
    They work great for evrything else.
    I can never see the acks until they shoot me down so I only bomb the other targets..sometimes. I'm mostly blind as a bat in anything less than high noon times.
    I found that 2D is just plane "stone age" ugly, so I cannot see how such a screen can help.

    Too bad a group of crazies can't take that old SWOTL game, update it some and make an online game of it along with BoB/their finest hour- spits-109s-hur-110 and 111's.

    Nvidia should have a facility for correcting the gamma in 3d mode in general. in windows check your display properties|settings|advanced. there should be a dedicated tab by the video card.

    Been there, done that.
    All it does it, well, uh, makes all the blackness into grey and white and hard hard blue-white.. All the specks I am looking for are still the same colour as the dirt below, and that colour is just more painful on me retinas...
    May as well shine a spotlight at the monitor.

    We faced a request from FBI here, had beautiful talks with Russian law-enforcement. Fortunately, Russian Federation has enough power to force it's own legislation on it's souverign territory.

    OTOH I spent 2.5 months in so-called "free world" last year and didn't have any problems, while many people I met there were aware of our activities.

    Banning everyone who mentions FreeHost is a sad practice on Western forums influenced by iEN. Last time I got banned was when iEN abandoned AGW boards. From what I understood - the guy hosting the AGW now got an advice he couldn't refuse to follow from someone.

    I am curious as to what the ripple effect is on international business ventures, that would have otherwise taken place.

    Information travels in two directions. People here push FH, and business people aware of what happened push the story to other business owners, which in turn influences other businesses to back away, and seek a relationship outside of Ru.

    Interesting causality hypthosis.

    What about that guy a few weeks ago that started a post something like, "if it weren't for Poland, we would all be speaking German now.... Poland got screwed in WW2...etc. " ???

    The thread was shut-down before any more comments, either pro or con in response to his comment could be made.

    Now there is a classic case of sensorship and violation of free speech.

    Profanity, insults, pornographic photos are fine, but you cannot say anything against Russians, Communists, USSR. We can bash the West, America and Americans, Asians. That's ok here.

    I copped that from exec a few weeks ago in a previous thread purely because i made mention that many people in FH believe that the only technical sources referenced were "either Communist bloc or Nazi German".
    Execs responce was
    Now I was making no racist remarks or slurs in my thread, merely referring to the country of origin. Last time I checked, and correct me if I am wrong, Germany was a Nazi-controlled nation, and the USSR was a Communist-controlled nation. I didn't see any Germans get upset, just a moderator of a Russian-run American-made game whom I personally feel was just trying to throw his weight around.
