    HAWX PC Demo

    Available for download now. Grabbed my download from GamersHell - good speed as usual.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Re: HAWX PC Demo

    nice I loved Ace Combat 6 which is only on xbox, I wonder if HawX will be more of a console port too..

    still, cant wait whatever its like might actually dig out my flight stick.

    Re: HAWX PC Demo

    It's really hard to do anything accurately such as strafing runs without a joystick. I even used my USB gamepad which made it slightly easier, but not that great :\

    Try it with a 360 pad if you've got one. I find it's ideal for these types of game - great for Burnout Paradise PC too

    I notice even DOW2 supports it too (a requirement of Games For Windows) but I can't imagine myself use it for that.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    I tried using my joystick (saitek wireless evo) with the demo. It seems to ignore the first 15~20% from the center of my x,y axis, so its hard to do micro-controlling (not like you really need it unlike ace combat's tunnel-flying tradition)

    Physics not very well defined in the game. If I pull up before hitting a building, the plane go straight up without colliding, the same move in ace combat 6 would be crashing. If you look at the last part of the demo mission, the 4 aces spread out very un-realistically. (The ultra-drifty A10 IM@S was one of my favorite plane)

    Small bugs I find is, even if you switch to air-to-air weapon only, it still cycle target ground unit (not the case with AC6)

    For the "assist off" mode, I wish they zoom in closer to the plane, or just keep the hud (but then people would say its a direct copy from AC6's High-G mode). I could barely recognize which part side of the plane is up/down. For the "assist on" mode, the computer keep controlling my throttle even at minimum. I want to do a slow bombing run and it force me to fly at 1000kph+ (Note, I could fly at 250~350kph in AC6). Also flying at that kind of speed means I can't do machine gun killing easily.

    One more thing, the camera range is only +- 180 degree, which means you can't see the enemy behind.

    Anyway, game pre-ordered on Amazon, like half the price of the 360 version.

    P.S. 1920x1200 8xAA runs at full 60FPS (VSync on).

    This is probably the first attempt by Ubisoft to make a flight sim game, I don't blame them for the gameplay not as refined as Namco.

    I'll try playing the game with keyboard/mouse tonight. I think it could be an interesting setup as you could aim *REALLY* accurately with the mouse.

    your post sums it up for me as well, its a pants port. crap controls. i was going to buy this until i played the demo, makes my saitek x52 pro seem like a £5 joystick.
