I went with an ATI 9600 XT as a bang-for-buck performer. Placed the order this morning ($176 at ProVantage.Com), should be here next 3 or 4 days, then a couple of days to get around to installing it, so really, I won't be AH2-capable until sometime late next week.

I tried to play AH1 with an ATI 9600 card and could not make it work. I will try AH2 with my new system and my ATI 9800 card when it goes gold.

I am tired of playing BETA games. In the old days I liked to play them because they were free and I wanted to get a jump on the masses. Now I prefer to wait for the finished product as I cannot tolerate system crashes and exploitable bugs.

Habu I use a 9600xt. What are the rest of your specs? It should run like diarrhea on that card

Could someone please list what the features of the new engine management system are? Do we get working RPM adjustment? Prop pitch adjustment?

Any engine overheating damage?

I had an AMD motherboard and my whole system would lock up when I tried to play.

I also started to have major system crashes while flying in WWIIOL. I tried everything from getting XP and new memory and finally the new graphics card.

Finally I pulled the motherboard and put in an Intel one. Now the system is rock stable. I had another system in the office (my old gaming systems end up in my office after about a year or so) and it used to hiccup all the time and lockup the network. Finally I did the same thing to it and now have no problems.

AMD plus ATI did not seem to work at all for me.

Those of you looking at buying a new video card may want to wait, ATI and NVidia anounced new cards, so the old ones are going to drop in price soon I bet.

I am betting the 9800 pro and XT drop 50 to 100 bucks soon.

As for engine managnent, there is no overheating from running at Military for long periods, and is the realistc anyway?

Can anyone give me some sources on that? I was reading through the book on the V1710, and it had to run for like 17 hours or something at military to pass the AAC tests.

They are forcing you to lower manafold pressure and change the RPM( my understanding is that when you change the RPM you are changing prop pitch to do it) to lower fuel consumption.

With the fuel consumption set at 2.25, the gas goes VERY fast, and planes like the LA7 are going to be more rare because of it.

Hell in AH1 with a full tank you only have like 30 minutes of flight time, so in II that is going to be cut down even more if you run around firewalled all the time.

The have a window off the map that tells you how much gas you are using and gives you RPM and manifold pressure settings for things like Military, WEP, and cruise.

As for people just talking about how it looks, FLY THE DAMN PLANES! the flight model is FAR from aceshigh...

Unfortunately, I've had to cancel my account, and I don't think I'll be in the sky in Aces High anytime soon, if ever. Well...maybe from time to time in the H2H Arena, but that pretty much blows, most of the time.

LOL really I dont see much difference at all.
It is a nice update .
But to call it an all new game is kinda of a stretch i think.

GtoRA2 · « **Reply #56 on:** May 18, 2004, 03:24:57 PM »

Have you played for more then 5 minutes?

tried it online agaist others?

txmx · « **Reply #57 on:** May 18, 2004, 03:26:07 PM »

OMG this game rocks now

Just had a fight. you know one of those where its all 3 countries represented by 3 planes My p-38 against a Knight 109 and a Bish Pony. of course its gang the 38. 109 was good, pony was the usual, limpwristed slapper. BUT pony thought he could he fight after 5 missed passes, I oblige And soon we are fighting, I get on his tail,but 109 is d600 and shooting,but hes not hitting! Pony tries to outstall me on loop I close and shoot, dont even see the hits thanks to the rocking new sprites and knock his Vert. Stab off. I engage 109 but auger because I am flying with my custom AH stick setup on default AH2 stick setup

I hope button settings and view settings are compatable AH1-AHII

I just copied all the settings folder from AH1 to AH2 and they all work fine.
