UBISoft's SH5 forum cleaned perfectly from latest posts!

[Gorshkov]

So now UBI is out of sub simulation business (we can expect some kind of SH6 sub-shooter to be released on consoles only) and what you propose?

SH3+GWX3 is getting more and more graphically outdated, SH4/UBM+OM+OMEGU is not fully functional Battle of Atlantic recreation due to some shortcomings and glitches, fixing SH5 v. 1.2 by modders alone seems to be very hard task to do. Well, virtual U-boat skippers are in trouble now...

[Rockin Robbins]

No they're not. They will finally get the simulation they deserve from someone else!

[Task Force]

Hmm, UBI is starting to remind me of the Nazis... they burnt books, Ubi burns forums...

I agree. There will be other companies.

FINALLY someone who agrees with me and isnt all doom and gloom that "if ubi doesnt make a subsim, no one will"

MAYBE we will finally get a modern sub sim!! But a Uboat sub sim DONE RIGHT will be fine as well!

[Seminole]

Oh Yeah....right... like we got someone else to come up with a new Red Baron?


WWI flight simmers have been modding that one and waiting since what?...oh yeah...the 1990's....mid 1990's that is...


...and the wait goes on......


Unless,of course, you count the release of the FlyBoys Flight Sim...on the shelf new for $9.99 ..and that one would even embarrass SH5...

First Eagles, CFS3 Over Flanders field, Rise of flight, there have been other WW1 sims after Red Baron II.

I play a heavily modded First Eagles, and I prefer it over RBII.

Perhaps you are not familiar with the enthusiast-developed "Over Flanders Field" or the study sim "Rise of Flight"? Both of those are more than worthy sucessors to Red Baron.

Yes, it took years for them to come, but the wait has been well worth it for this ex-Red Baron pilot.

Food for thought. And hope.

Exactly! I have "Over Flanders Field" and it's pretty good. The graphics are a bit dated, but it supports TrackIR (or rather, the underlying MS Combat Flightsim supports it), which makes it light years ahead of the Red Baron gaming experience, as much as I loved Red Baron. I thought helicopter combat sims were dead and buried too, and then DCS Black Shark came along recently.

Subsims are probably a little easier to program than flight sims. Fewer variables, enemy AI moving in two dimensions instead of three, and at much lower relative speeds. Water effects aren't that difficult with modern 3D environmental suites. Someone else will do it. But it will take a few years for SH5 to finally fade from the scene, and leave a gap in the market.

Hey I'm right there with ya.
There were subisms before Ubisoft (that happen to be the best ones) and there'll be subsims after

No doubt there will. And often the ashes of one disaster have become the start of a newer, brighter era in history. Patience will pay off.

The day UBI drops the DRM for SH5 will, be the day you will know there's no more support.

more likely it will be one day very soon that they will just turn off sh5 servers with no warning or explaining and NEVER remove the DRM to add the final insult to unhappy customers who dared to not drink their coolaid


as for all the missing posts, well they will use their standard lame excuse of saying cyber attackers did it

[Herr Graf]

The ubi forums use eve software. eve software had an update a couple weeks ago that broke the login feature.

I would think that the latest problems are due to the previous forum updates.

And that day will see Pirated versions with fixes for the problem flood the Internet!
Not to mention the lawsuits brought by hungery Law type Beings.


Can you say 'Class action?'
Sure you can!
