Caesar 305 Posted May 22, 2009 I thought AC6 was one of the better titles (been with the series since 1); the comms didn't piss me off as much as before and the cockpits and models saw some definate impovement. Of course it's an arcade style game, but I find it fun. On the other hand, even though I own it, I really am not a fan of Over G. For trying to be "realistic" it fails pretty miserably, IMHO; it has some nice aspects to it, but it tries WAY too hard to be difficult, not to a realistic point either. Max engagement range of 10NM, fighters handle like pigs even when you're at 50% fuel and guns only, low G authority on planes that should have far greater authority, no low-speed maneuverability on any plane whatsoever...why the hell does my Tomcat handle like it's at 72,000lbs, lugging 6 Phoenix when it's only at 56,000lbs lugging a gun? Why does my F-16 only have a 360*/s roll rate when I've got 2 AIM-9's on the wings and that's it? Ugh... Sorry for the rant, but I did expect a bit more from the game at $60.

I have to admit I've never played it. But I still want to try it out for myself. It can't be any worse than AC5 I meant AC6. Do you have the xb360 hotas? That may improve the experience a bit.

Caesar 305 Posted May 22, 2009 Yep, I do, and it is fun. If you get a chance, check it out. I will tell you though, some of the radio calls are pretty friggin' bad towards the end of 6... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FalconC45 158 Posted May 23, 2009 I don't know if this is compatible with your needs, but it's worth taking a look:http://www.saitekusa.com/prod/av8rxboxv2.htm Thanks! I'll look into it. This is what I need for an console. :yes: Falcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAKO69 186 Posted May 28, 2009 All I want in a next gen console is a real joystick like the PC has. I can't use an XBOX controller because of my disability. Until they start doing that again (Sega consoles including the Genesis had a 4 button stick with trigger and b, c and start buttons on top) I'll be sticking w/PC. Falcon Saitek makes a control stick the Saitek Aviator X-BOX360 and the PS3. They can be used on your PC also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
