Don't blame you at all.  You felt that you had the right to categorize me and I did the same for you.  I don;t know how you know who is trying AHII and who doesn't.  Maybe HT gives you the stats.  I try it at list 3 times a week.  It does not work on my computer.  I don;t understand why you cannot accept that.  Maybe you know something about computers that I did not learn in my 15 years in the IT industry.  Its not my job to get it to work.  Thats HTs job.  If it works for you then fine, enjoy it.  Just don't put others down because of it.

My crappy system is the following: PIII 866, ASUS CUS L2C, 512 MB RAM, GeForce II MX, DirectX 8.1b, Win 98 SE. AH1 runs flawlessly on it because I set it up very carefully. I run Win 2K as second boot up choice for work,

actually the only thing stopping you from playing is your lack of dx9...according to the min specs my and other players experiences that should do it.

I hope it never comes out tho or they do something about gameplay before it does.

AHII is the most boring gameplay of any flight sim I have ever tried (based on one day maybe 8 hours).

the gunnery is different.. more dispertion maybe but harder to get a shot... a flip flopping plane can "dodge" for quite a while... have seen three planes empty ammo loads at a fish flopping plane that was low and slow.

this makes it even more risk free to B&Z... add to that... the peee51 is probly about twice as good.   it's a training wheel plane on steroids now.    The FM2 was too fast apparently so they removed the wep..

The game was more timid than anything I have seen in the worst pizza map.

If some sort of gameplay isn't changed ... it will be all late war all the time and... all running all the time.  

Early war planes will sit in the corner and gather dust.

Yeah, gunnery is different which is what makes it harder,  If you give it more than a day you might just be able to improve your gunnery.  Talk to Greebo, get in front of his guns and the bastard will nail ya every time.

As for the P51 being "probly about twice as good", I can only guess you think that because you saw me fly it and I'm so damned impressive.  What is it about the P51 that you think is twice as good as in AH1?  I've been flying it the same way in AH2 as I do in AH1 and have been getting about the same results.

Don't do it for HTC, do it for yourself.  I've been having a lot of fun in there, as have several others.  Give it a try, I'd love to shoot you down  And it looks like you can fly it even if your acct isn't active - http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=116548

Thanks SOB.   I didn't know AH-II was open to everyone.  

 All I got to use these days is a damn hoopety twist stick.  Just be easy on me with your Merlin powered stealy dan will ya?!

My computer doesn't like it.

My AH account is active, SOB. I fly squad ops every Friday night in AH1.

Until AHII goes live, however, I'll be spending the majority of my free time in WWIIOL.

heheheh, too funny.  An attempt at the RL slam.  You got your priorities straight.  Yup.  Just enough time away from the family to ***** at a video game bbs.



Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance



...sniff, sniff, I can't play a video game.  Your comments are hurtful.

Have I hit a nerve, Furious?

I said that "SOME" (look it up) who say they cannot play AH2 have not tried since the code refinements, I did not say deadalot has not tried, I also did not use personal insults, that was you. AH2 was not a great performer for most of us that tried it when it was first released, it is much better now.

If you have been working in IT for 15 years and cannot get a simple PC (that is better than the minimum specs) to play a simple (to configure) game then that is a truly sad situation and maybe you need to find another line of work rather than blame HT or lash out at other players who are not having trouble.  Read further up, people with lesser machines ARE playing AH2 just fine.

I'm sorry, it is NOT Hitech's job to get his game to work on your computer. He must determine a mimnum system spec and make it work on that, however he and Pyro and Skuzzy all go out of their way to help individuals. The game works! I just did a search in the AH2 forums for posts by you and found only one where you said you'd not try to run any game with less that 512MB or RAM. I am assuming you have contacted tech support regarding your computer's inadequacy (or is it your computer's?) before whinning that HT need to fix your computer, right?

[dedalos]

lol, Category 4 for sure.  Maybe you need to go back and read your post again?

I'm thinking all those who complain about being unable to run AH2 fit into one of three categories.

If it worked it would not a beta, would it?  It works on your computer.  Thats great.  It does not work on mine.

Well, I don't exactly remember when I said tha HT has to fix my computer.  

I don;t understand why you make the assumptions you make or why you make it your bussiness to tell people to test AHII since acording to you it works fine.  But, I was always told that you cannot argue with idiots.  They bring you down to their level, and then bit you with experience (I stol this from someone but can't remember who, lol).  So, no more from me.
