Get A Load Of This!!!! (HiTech)

[Morpheus]

Here is another test I did.

All of the settings are the same. But I Changed Max Texture Memory to 256.
As of right now the performance of the game is still the same. No bad laggy stutters or freezing ect.

The gain here is in graphics though. Which is a plus I'd say.

Actually in saying what I said I didnt' take anything out of context or pull it from thin air as you say.

nope you pulled it out of context...he said it looks like ah1...you thought he meant it looks like it is ah1 and automaticly went out on a crusade to show him that it was ah2. (a understandable mistake)

.....is not playble? You couldnt live with that?

and thats where you really pulled something out of thin air...


he has simply been defending himself while you FAILED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WROTE PLAIN AND SIMPLE wich is THAT LOOKS LIKE ITS 2-4 YEARS OLD and even after saying it in about 5 different ways you still assumed that he meant it was from ah1...

and thats about where i stepped in to try and clarify what he was saying for you, it didnt work...

Another screen shot. Same settings as above. This time looking out towards open ocean. This is the least amount of strain on the system. (this view that is)

[doolitle]

this has nothing to do with AH2 performance ...


on the text buffer..it shows "auto combat trimm off..auto combat trimm on..and then auto combat trimm off agian..in that paticular order... does this mean that there are times when one should use combat trim??...or is that "only" in aceshigh 2..where flight models are some what altered..from the original set in AH1?

whats the deal??

Again, what is really not to like about this picture? Taking the specs of the system into concideration IMHO I think its perfectly accpetable.

Vort, click on (in this order)
-Setup
-Video
-Video settings

At the top you will see a drop down tab entitled "Max Texture Size"

Click on the arrow and you will see a selection to choose from. Select the size that you wish to use and click aply. Your planes will be reloaded and you can continue playing.

You can do this at any time in the game. I really like the way HiTech has set up his video settings. So that they can be manipulated and take change in flight.

Doo combat trim is used by what I would say the majority of the players in Aces High. Some dont use it. Fester is one. I sometimes turn it off. Many times while flying the P38 there is a need for trim at either High speeds or low speed turn fights. Fester has told me that 109s greatly benifit from the use of manual trim. And from the flying and fighting I've done with and against him I have to say he is right.

It is again just one venue of the game that you either hate or love, use or disregard.

your card simply is has T&L only reason why i cant run AH2 is cause i dont have AGP slot on my mobo.

Nice job, Morpheus.  Very useful post.  

Don't get too upset about the 2-year-old game comments, tho.  I don't think they were that out of line, and they are entitled to their opinions too.

wrong, because T&L sucks with a 1ghz cpu.........

[Mister Fork]

Ok guys... tried AHII on my brother-in-laws machine.  Pentium III 600, 512Mb ram, Matrox G550 video card.

AHI
At the airfield with 4-5 other pilots around, medium settings at 128 texture size - 35fps.

AHI - in the main arena with 4-5 other pilots around, standard settings, 15fps.

Wow. DX9 rocks!

I was only getting agrivated because some were taking this post the wrong way.

I just want to show that the game can still be played and is able to be played on a very bare bones system.

To say, well that sucks, nothings clear there is no "eye candy" and it basicly looks like hell is just absurd. Keeping in mind that the system the screen shots were taken with isn't half that of others. One would think a sense of hope would be given to those who have yet to get AH2 to run well for them. For some it has. For others, they fail still, to see the points I am trying to convey.

Skull you are right. Some simply CAN'T play AH2. Their systems just wont run it and dont have what it takes to run it. Almost no system is like anohter. There are always exceptions and limitations to what a system can and cannot do.

Concidering that when I first loaded AH2 on that little system I had started out with a FR of ZERO. And managed to get it up to 50+ is remarkable. If you told me that it is posible to run AH2 on a system with a 16mb video card before yesterday I would have laughed and said the same things others have said to me. That is simply is impossible.

I am a firm believer in the saying, Two heads are better than one. If anyone can give me advise that may help me with a problem I am willing to listen. If not advise then show me some information that may be helpful.

Where'd you get that P51 gunsight, Morph?

[Morpheus]

lol thats the default P51 sight I do believe.

I dont really much like it to be honest. I think it covers up too much of the target. The one I use for nearly all of my planes have just 1 lil old red dot. I like that one the best

That one is there because I havent trasfered all of my settings over to my laptop yet. I just reformated last night as a result of an overwhelming amount of spywear, Hijackers ect. It just got to the point where no spywear removal tool would work. The only thing that worked well enough was poping in the XP disk and rebooting.
