    I've never found a server that did that. I discovered this when I was playing Wake Demo, I don't know how you can fly with your view being obsured. You won't be able to see who you bomb. I love that you can easily remove it. It makes for a much better game, IMO.

    Obviously the HUD adds realism, but I agree that it is much funner without it.

    I used to do that but with the F# view keys replaced onto the joystick's Hat switch you can change view even in the middle of a dogfight.

    Here is the download link for Desert Combat http://www.desertcombat.com/?page=download_DC0.38 It,s super easy to install and keeps your regular BF 1942 control settings so you do not have to set up your Joystick all over again. I never bothered with it until just a month ago and boy I did not know what I was missing.

    It plays all the same maps and a few extra customs also but your weapon are modern and look and act like they are also. I love taking out jets with a "Stinger" over the shoulder rocket lancher.

    Can't believe I had to pay for the crappy "Road to Rome" expansion but this awesome "Desert Combat" was free!

    I had planned on trying it, but like I said, I'm just barely getting started on BF1942, and haven't even played all the maps yet.

    Ya, stick with bf1942 for now, until you're bored with it. Then play DC. I still prefer bf1942 over DC. I think it's more fun.

    I agree, it's nice to get good at vanilla BF. It truely is an excellent game. Then ones you feel you've gotten good at BF (you don't have to be God of BF or anything) try DC. It is much faster paced and can be a little intimidating to n00bs. DC should have Release .4 out in a month or two and then you will see the real difference between the two. Also Secret Weapons is an expansion for BF that will be coming out very soon. They are going to be releasing a stand alone DEMO so be sure to check that out before you head off to the store next.

    There is supposed to be a new DC patch (0.39) sometime this week. The Secret Weapons demo comes out this Friday (which might be the same day as DC 0.39)

    But .4 will have the navy and completely new maps (no old bf42 maps). With .4 there should be no vanilla BF elements left in the game. Everything from machine guns to tanks to the crud on your shoe will be DC made.

    that's what the dev team says, though I'm sure due to public demand they will still support the old ones. But they may be a seperate download instead of in the normal release.
