even after ah2 comes out will ah1 still run as a seprate game?

and will it be possible to play ah1 h2h after ah2 comes out
(this would be a good thing if it was possible because many people say that ah2 beta versions do not run on there computer and they do not wish to be excluded from the ah2 community )

no.   even the ah1 welfare cases are gonna have to save up their internet stamps and get upgrades.

;)

on the brighter side, most of the fps hits are coming from terrain and ground objects, so smaller, cleaner H2H maps shouldn't cause too big of a hit except for those with computers at the very end of their online gaming shelf-life.

also, so everyone knows, you can reduce the max texture size to ah-resolution and if you climb a little bit high you can turn off ground scenery.

setup,video, video settings.

Set sliders to performance, turn off all the bump mapping, etc check boxes.

Apply, test.

May have to play around a bit but you should be able to improve it considerably.

like I said, you can reduce the texture size so ah2 planes basically look like a1 planes. Also, reduce fog and ground scenery
(shift+f2)

Ground scenery is probably the biggest fps killer.


Though I would have to say you will be able to fly if you can get away with 18 fps and above. On my machine I usually get anywhere between 15-45 fps, depending on circumstances.
