Updated okay.

Every thing disabled, in the Tower 104 FPS, in the air 124 FPS.
As I was disabling everything, screen went through a strange "stutter", like the gamma was bouncing between 2 different settings.

Spawned an M18 from A59 to the SE spawn, right into the middle of some trees, when I tried to move, tank flipped upside down. However I could still maneuver forwards, backwards and turn where ever I wanted;

28531,208,-419,175.2,-6.4,-36.4
craterma
FOV = 73.5

Also had some strange "errors" on the text screen, see attached screen shot.

Man the trees in TT are wicked

The blue screen is still with us when Shadows and Post lighting are both NOT disabled. Disabling either one will bring the game back.

Otherwise, the download went fine.

The 20 mm's on the N1k2 will not shoot down an airplane and will not put holes in the target you can bring up. The bullets are not registering hits.

I checked again and none of the planes will shoot down anything.

Downloaded, and installed with no issues.
I still lose the engine sound in the corsair if I let the left wing tank run dry, but not always when the tank runs dry. I did get the sound back on engine restart, but then lost it. Every time I lose the sound I get an "Event/default/RadialProp/Internal/Engine is not stopping after timeout".
Tried to launch a corsair from a cv. Instantly fell through the deck and crash, and end up back in the tower.

Now I have to rethink the terrain tiles. Cross country driving without roads is almost impossible due to how thick some of the trees are set on some of the tiles. I'll get it worked out. The terrain is much more vibrantly green at least.

The 88mm manned positions are not selectable. You get this in the hanger and the large text will not highlight for selection.

I love those tree tiles. The terrain looks very realistic and once we have the roads, things will be very interesting in the 'Events' arenas. As you suggest though, more work for the terrain builders.

Jaeger added a cloud file in the AvA tonight. He could see cloud shadows moving along the ground but I couldn't.

We think it has something to do with my need to click either Disable Shadows or Disable Post Lighting as posted a few replies above this.


We both also received the sound problem debug message about tanks (sorry I didn't copy it, I didn't know I wouldn't be able to reproduce it by myself later.) He was in a Panzer 4 F or H and I was in a T34 76 as enabled in the arena. When there is only one of us online, I had no message so I suppose the message was due to the other player's vehicle.

Download seemed to work fine, but at the end I received this message:

"patch failed for the following files:  C:\Hitech Creations \Aces High Alpha Game \ahskview.exe

Went back to the desktop after that, no "would you like to start AH now" or anything like that.  But when I double-clicked the Alpha/Beta icon, the game booted fine and I was able to fly around and land without unusual experiences.

The more normal sized trees certainly give a much more natural look for the terrain especially around anything man made and at altitude.

Nice.

Game locking up on exit. Have to close it with the Task Manager.

Beta 6 doesn't like me.  Downloaded but didn't do anything, ie just showed standard Beta 5 selection screen.  Exited and looked for update exe; was none.  Ran Beta 5 again and it said do you want to continue your download, yes, then began to install as normal.  (Maybe my ISP decided to take a nap at an inopportune time.) 

CraterMA online A1 test conditions frame rate: 125 (i.e. same as Beta 5).

At first I got a bunch of artifacts like grey boxes or windows in the sky, thousands of tiny flashing grey boxes on the ground in fields surrounding ports, flickering every 6 seconds, but after restarting a few times they went away.  (Maybe my graphics card is going south for the winter.)

Several times I was unable to exit, screen just stays there but mouse acts like it's accessing underlying desktop.  Had to reboot or use task manager to kill.

On my system, in a tank, while zoomed into the now dense forests of CraterMA tank town my frame rate falls to as low as 6.
