I seem to have almost no stuttering and when I do it is when I am flying near an oddball plane and it goes away. I think for me it is the textures.





I love the trees, lol nothing like getting down on the deck and flying between tree patches.


Do the branches stop ACK rounds?

Is it just me, or is any body else not particularly impressed by the graphics in AHII, in so much as it's not much of a jump from AHI ?

So has anyone got any opinion on the Niks - I think accelleration has changed - they don't seem to be able to instantly be on yr six after a reversal - same for Spits, only seen 14's so far no 9's.

It could however be that they do have the same accelleration except that now someone 600 yards on yr six just isn't all that dangerous during acm anymore.

Nope it's not just you, i was very dissapointed with the first beta's and current beta's aren't all that much approved was expecting alot more in the graphics department.

Luckly the gameplay and FM makes up for it.

I mean Is It really?
I sure hope not.
Because I really dont see anything that much different than AH1.

The cockpit of the a6mb looks exactly the same to me.
And I am running a high end system
P4 2.4 OC to 3.0 Ati 9800pro
512 muskin lvl 2 ram
1000mghz FSB

So I dont think its the machine.
I mean I am running it at 1600x1200 res and all but the graphics just dont really look that much if any better than AH1.

I mean yeah ya get some oils streaks and blood spots ok thats nice.

But what about more of a 3D immerssion into the cockpit?
And FPS I am getting around 75 witch is more than playable but heck I get 80-140 in IL2 FB and i think Its safe to say Its a bit of a graphics hog.

So I know all of the fan boys will be warming up there little flaming fingers for this one but I just call it as I see fellers.

AH Is still the best massive multiplayer online flight sim out there hands down.

But Is this really what we have been waiting for ?

A. Yes, B. Yes.

Those of you disappointed in the graphics - what video cards do you have? Radeon 9600 here, and I feel that the AH2 graphics are sharper and have richer colours. However, as WB3 proved, eye candy does alone not a great flightsim make.

Great to hear that the HO are getting less. The gunnery is only harder in that you have to be closer, which is as it should be - so no more 800yd spray shots. That's going to piss a few people off.

Flight model is better, smoother.

All in all, I'm hopeful AH2 will be less "gamey". Of course, we'll still see the uber trio P51/spit/LA7 more than anything else...

...which answers Funked's question: No, the TOD stuff is not destined to be in the next release.

Oh, and those "pull-up-vertical-like-a-helicopter-and-spray-the-plane-800-yards-above" tactics aren't going to work either. The N1K dweebs won't like that. :lol

I will return when i have a windows box that has the power to run it. my guess is sometime late this summer. There are only a coupe of items left on my Mac purchase list before i get the remaining parts for the AH2 puter.


looking forward to seeing some of you amateurs up high again !  :)
