With Wontonsoups chest all puffed out I'd very much like to take him in there and deflate it a tad for him.

In MugZ's defence Soupboy... I know he'd own your little wonton arse. MugZ and I have had our fall outs, but after a little more than 2 years of knowing and flying with and against him... He'd own you. And I would enjoy very much in making you look like the little school girl that I know you are.

adios.

Go back to vulching your shade err little brother's account.

Morph/kronik/nitro or whatever your name is.

[Mugzeee]

Morph...
BTW...whats this...you back burnnered AH2?
Cant blame ya. I would have done the same. First i didnt have too. The game is doing it for me. 6CDTs in an hour last sat. I cringe at the thought of even saying it out loud here. you know. The suggestions of the obvious and the "You need another upgrade" thing. Before patch 2 no trouble. Now with the last 2 patches CTD galor...weird eh? As you know...i have a AH ONLY PC. Nothing runs in the background ect. Nothing has changed on my end. Just awaiting the next patch to see what happens.
Secondly i have a commitment to the squad and i will be in the tower on squad nights from now till the patch me up.

Yes you are nub; yes you aren’t very good at AH (1 or 2). Yes you run a squad of building battlers.

Yes I said you are intimidated by AH2 after all you whine plenty (even ht had to call you on it) and yes you play very little.

Your squad represents far fewer the 7 to 10% so their complaints are not an indication of the "community" as you claim at the top of this thread. Of those who flew the betas regularly they seem to like the original AH2 icons.

You can search the forum and count up the "for" and "against" if you like.

Sure this is a game in progress but it wont get very far if they keep going back to address the whines of those who haven’t even played the game enough to make an honest assessment.

Your squad are building battlers so what do they care about icons? Red run away, green follow like sheep...

If my avatar is bugging you pretend it’s a fuel bunker and slam yourself into it. It may take a few "sorties" to knock it down so you might want to get started...

FYI

Take a few minutes to learn the vB code, it makes reading the replies easier then the jumbled mess you post.

Theres what i was looking for.
Finally the tru idiot you are has surfaced.
I wish you well on your journey to normality but highly doubt you will attain it. As for HT calling me out?
His comments to me coulda have been directed to almost anyone at anytime in the BBS. Its just the nature of the BBS. I will post the link here for those that are wondering.
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=120963&referrerid=7566
He accused me of Not providing assistance.
I provided assistance plenty. The whine was free.
And perfectly acceptable on the BBS.
So till HT Bans whining from the BBS.....pull up a chair, a block of cheese and induldge. But im sure YOU havent whined on the BBS.

As for the vB code........I have no trouble following it at all. Even in my lame unseccesfull intimidated state. Try a little harder youll get it.

in a glance you can tell closure info which should take more of your time, time away from other SA functions

get rid of the + or -
or
get rid of the distance counter

to have both seems like parking in a handicap zone because you are too lazy to walk

WTG DipStick ... there are bigger fish to fry in this world eh ? A wise man once told me ... "don't sweat the small stuff" ... which this "icon" debate is exactly.

Maybe for you eagler, but not for me. Some of us suffer from "old eyeballs" ...

===================

pres·by·o·pi·a
 
Inability of the eye to focus sharply on nearby objects, resulting from loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens with advancing age.

===================

I once had 20/10 vision, but not anymore, I have to wear glasses to play this game and these old eyeballs need a little help in trying to process a 2D image into 3D depth and closesure directions.

You guys all all pissed off on the semantics of the new icon system, all the while not considering how it aids those with eyesight problems ... kinda selfish as far as I am concerned.

Again ... there are bigger fish to fry, don't sweat the small stuff.

quit yer whining ya blind old bastage!

Overall I am very glad that Hitech does not operate by the poll. We'd end up with some watered down game that appealed to the lowest common denominator or at best the loudest of the whiners. In this one case however I wish the icons were back to beta standards, and that seems to be the clear wish of the majority of those who've posted in this thread.

Within a kilometer's range you can see the planes artwork clearly enough to judge closure rates. Beyond a kilometer out (not to mention 5 or 6) in RL you'd be hard pressed to determine what kind of plane it was much less be able to extract exact measurements of its AOA and actual E-state down nearly to the integer with only a fraction of a second glance. So far everything about AH2 seems to lean the game more towards the sim and away from the game, except this one change.

Again .. speak for yourself ... try this next time ...

I am glad you can ... I have a hard time.

cry, cry ,cry, all i hear about ah2 come on guys!! get us to it, we can ajust takes a lil time!!

[Charon]

I have played it as much as i could with running the squad and of course there is the issue of screen freezes and stutters that keept my hours low in AH2.

When was the last time you did a clean install? How many processes are you running in the background? How much spyware? Popups? IM? Years worth of installed and removed half-assed shareware apps? If any of these are an issue you probably need to install the Format patch before any patch HTC releases will do you any good.

Just helped my buddy Rutger load XP on his computer yesterday with a bunch of new hardware - CPU, MEM, MB, vide card) -- AH stable with high frame rates just like the two win 98 AH loads I have on my home LAN.

BTW, Wotan is Batz?! Who’d a thunk it. What a scoundrel.

Point taken (or is that given?) and acknowleged,

I should also add that while I can judge closure rates within 1K of range I cannot do it as well as I could with the old AH1 icon rangefinder. What I was trying to say was that under 1K in AH2 I can tell (over a couple of seconds) if I am closing on a con whereas over 1K out I cannot.

I play at 1024X768 on a 20 inch monitor rather than 1280X1024 which my system can handle becasue I find it easier to see.

YMMV

[Badboy58]

I dont like the new icons one darn bit. The +, - system just makes it worse. If you need it that bad then go back to the old way which imo was just fine. There I've said it, now someone get me my prozak!!!!:p
