AH2 has some great little adjustments, that can be used to help the video end of the game... they have put slider adjustments for video.. if you play alittle with them, it can increase your frame rate and you may find that the shutter and other problems can be reduced or eliminated all together by these adjustments.. my shutters and things were reduced or eliminated when i made some slight adjustments, move them toward performance made my shutters disappear, except for one area, but i only moved them twice, I'll check them more out later and see what it does... and Your whole computer dont have to be replaced, well unless your one of those people that bought a dell or gateway or store purchased non up gradeable POS... sorry

...... i sure dont have the newest $500.00 card out, nope, i paid 60.00 for my vid card, and a fr of 103 + in ah2. my whole up grade was only 250.00 ...new intel 800fsb mb,p4 2.6 800fsb cpu, litl faster ram pc3200, the 128 nv gf2 vid card. i used the same ol hard, drive modem, using the on board sound, tower,................ It would be easier to handle the upgrade, if you consider alot of you do this gaming for a hobby, and a slight investment toward your hobby is really only added fun for you... online and offline its nice to have a slightly updated computer.. Dont do no (latest and greatest!!!!products) (buy new, get screwed) get the caveman products , you know the stuff thats been out for 6 months to a year.. hehe way less expensive and works fine!

I'm not moving to AHII until I upgrade my vid card as my current card won't work. I've been looking into Il-2, so I might go that way if I don't like AHII.

Yes they will be available on the clipboard if they are loaded in the \maps directory.

Also, when you find the VH ... make sure you pull back on the stick after you have released the bomb ...

Stay or leave, rip on AH2, drool over AH2. It doesn't matter. It is coming, and no amount of *****ing, whining, cheering or flag waving is going to change that or accelerate it.

Well said, Math! This is why I look up to you, aside from the fact I have a lifesized poster of you on the ceiling above my bed.

It looks very iffy for me at the moment.
The Screen Freeze issue is taking hold of my PC.
"Im not excited about (Dumbing Down), (De-Tuning) 128 DDr Video cards to play Aces high. nor do I feel pressed to spend any more money to upgrade. As it is, I have to have ALL...and I do mean ALL settings at the bare minimum just to keep it fairly smooth. Those that know me...know I play the "WAR" end of AH..This means attacking Ground targets. And with the settings at "Performance" the ground targets are very difficult to align with early in the dive. I have been through my Bios settings..ATI Omega Control panel and game settings. Still micro freezing and at d400 there is always a 1 to 2.5 sec delay. My machine play's IL2 without a hitch.. And i know its more graphically demandingthan AH2. Or it had better be with the difference in the textures rendered. It AWESOME. Crossing fingers on the screen freezing issue in AH2. But doubtful as to the outcome. Still...its been a fun game all-round. ~~g/l and happy hunting~~

Im out till I decide its worth buying a new video card, so next time im borderline between really drunk and unconcious, I might look into it.

This is a fine example of what has really begun to turn me off about AH. The Community, in game and in bbs. Constantly attacking one another over HTCs issues of the game. It starts out subtle then escalates from there. Screw that. It’s there baby. This is very sad. I have even participated.

Enough already. Why should we argue or heatedly discuss any such issues? Its rediculas.

Im not at all surprised. Why? Because Channel 1 and the bbs are clear examples of what’s wrong with AH. It has very little to do with the FM, Code or anything else.
The game has become saturated with bad attitude, and a community full of argumentative sassy members. When 1-person steps across the line with the Mouth without reprimand, others soon will follow. It has snowballed to large proportions. And i sense a large turn over in the months ahead. Out with the old, and (maybe)...in with the new. The Community is Full of “TUDE” It’s sickening

I for one am going to try to keep things light. As for AH2.I don’t like the new FM. Some ppl don’t like changes. THAT’S ME!!!!!

. Actually change is good as long as it makes sense to the masses in this type of setting. There’s no law saying someone has to like change. The FM is plenty different. If it's Full realism you want.Then Damn IT. Let’s make it FULL Realism!! Stop this meet it in the middle crap. Example: NME Icons on the bottom, friendly on the top. WHY? roflmao

Everyone was used to it like it was. But at least if the NME is running belly dragging the water in AH2.. You are going to waste a little more ammo till you learn to use the Range Finding ability of your gun sight.

I say Remove the Damn NME ICONS completely. Wonder how many FR guys like that idea? If its realism you want... (Lets get Real.) Killshooter...turn it off! Let the offender of killing a friendly pay for his/her sin with a timeout in the corner. (Don’t feed me the “we pay money for this game” mumbo jumbo either) Man up I says! Next time he or she will be a little more mindfull of their surroundings before squeezing that trigger. With TOD so far off. Just make the Release as real as possible. Friendly Midair’s...TURN THEM ON...tis a little trickier to try and squeeze 3 or 4 of those friendly (chasing a Lone NME) into those sissors all together without a crash.

Wonder how many "Realism" players like this idea? (Get Real) .I know...I know. The Code doesn’t separate Midair’s from ground collision's? If not...Why not?

When AH2 goes Gold, or that stinky brown stuff, which ever view you might take. We are still the community and should strive to be friends.
Is it Real? Or is it AH2? Get Real. Maybe its hard to have a relaxed community in a FR game?

~~all and happy hunting~~

I haven't flown in a long time because the old engine just didn't do it for me anymore and just wasn't fun. I'm looking forward to the increased realism in AHII, and the enhancements to the ground look great, especially for a flight sim.

Complaining about how you think everyone will leave en masse because AHII won't run on a 6 year old machine that can barely read e-mail is awful silly. I encourage y'all to try and install the other current games on those machines, and you'll quickly find that HTC has been stellar in holding up the tail-end of the convoy for you guys for much longer then anyone else.

It's time to take ol' Bessy behind the shed and turn that bitter old milk cow into hamburger, AHII is gonna be great steak sauce.

Istalled IL2 for the first time today. Runs slick as a whistle on the same Machine that Wont run AH2 half as smooth. As some know IL2 Shouldnt run smooth if AH2 wont. Graphically IL2 should be MUCH more demanding. And i put ALL settings to MAX quality

I LIKE IT!

I know it's hard financially to keep a new computer in the house, but seriously, AHII runs just fine on a GF3 Pentium III machine - that's a two year old setup.

I think AHI has allowed some of us to neglect keeping our workstations up to date because the product will run on old computers.

Heck, AHII runs faster on my new machine than AHI does.

Glad your's does.
Mine sure wont.
Operating System: Windows XP Pro (5.1-,Build 2600)
CPU: AMD Athlon, MMX, 3D Now, ~ 1.0 GHz
SYS Mem: PC 2100, 512 Meg, DDR

Direct version, 9.0b 4.09.0000.0902
using the Omega drivers CAT 4.5.
I have reduced the Game video settings to bare minium detail. Or at least as much as im going to.

Anymore would be like a waste of time.
Video/ Graphic Detail Settings are as follows.

Level Of Detail: Far Right...Max Performance.
Displayed Object Size: FAR Right...Max Performance.
Ground detail Range: Far Left to 0.5 mile.
Textures to load per frame: Far Left to 1 Tex Per frame.

Video/ Video Settings:
Res: 1280x1024
MAx texture Size: 128
Max Frame Rate: 45 fps

sorry, just had to speak my mind

Welp.. I am of the opinion that AH2 is out. The current beta is as good as the Final Grand opening version as far as "glitches" and "Playability" are concerned. I expect very little difference in what we are playing today (Beta37) and the Full Release version. Betcha $5
