I'm one of those people who bought this game the week it appeared in my local wargame's shop back in the very early 80s when I was a teenager. So am I. And when it was consumed I bought a second and then a third time. I was Italy champions flight leader back in '87.
Now, let me tell you: this is not Blue Max straight from the box, it is the best approximation (with Phil Hall's blessing) that could be done while developing for hobby. At start, it didn't have tailing or burst lenght etc. It still lacks Lewis guns reloading, pilot skills and experience.
Halas, that is, for the time being.
I'd LOVE to have e.g. pilot skills and careers, new planes (using Canvas Eagles maneuver charts, included the one for Camel that turns it from crap to gold) etc.
But sad as it is, this is it. 
The easiest fix would be a box on the league creation page that users’ names could be placed in to prevent them joining a league you create.
I believe, given the sheer AGE of the code, that this is easier said than done. Dunno, maybe is just slapping a box and adding a SQL clause, but, you know, with legacy code...
...if we don’t have an open debate then what does that make us? Silence condones poor behaviour and if we don’t speak up we’ll never stop it or change anything.
Debate never hurt. |
