"Same" means "equal".

So if AH II has more realistic settings, then it can't be the "same" ... and it isn't.

At this point I am use to the AH II flight model, more than most, cause I flew alot in the AH II Beta Arena getting prepared for the switch over.

Slap...

From what I've been told, the flight model code is exactly the same. What has changed is the "resolution" of the data it uses. HT has increased the number of points on the flight surfaces which the model uses.

Patch 5 was GOOD for this ATI card.

Gave me a solid 20 fps boost across the board.

Went from mid 30's in tower, to mid 50's and its better yet on the runway.

Big WTG HTC!
This ones a keeper!

Well, I did the upgrade thing, so my CPU is now good. This might sell my FX5900 card to get a ATI card, and "a solid 20 fps boost across the board". Thats awesome.

Specs please.

I'll buy your card type if it works. Gimme details. Furball results too.

Well Ghosth?

Hitech,


You guys had better spend some time trying to fix this and soon because there are a lot of VERY UNHAPPY people out there right now. People are giving it a month or so and then gonna drop like flies. This is going the same way AWIII went and you guys are driving people away now.

You forgot to add, "Otherwise I'll scream and pout and hold my breath until I'm blue in the face!"  Oh wait,  you're already doing that.

Not to mention the flight models have changed quite a bit with some planes now (i.e. - FW190's outperforming LA7's in speed / turning???). That and the stick handling is all screwed up again! When we converted over from AHI to AHII everything was set the same yet all of the sudden all the planes handle different. I didn't change anything...my stick did not break overnight.

One Pissed Off Player...

If you had played the beta at all you would have noticed some improvements to the flight model and that quite abit of the 'gaminess' that players such as yourself relied upon are no longer in the game.  So instead of pouting and screaming like my 3 year old niece, go to NetAces.org and read some of the stuff on how to fly and fight and you won't be so amazed on how that Fw190 driver was able to blow your super-duper-uber La7 out of the sky.

As for doing something about the problem - I am - I'm biatching about it so that it gets fixed! If HTC would have realized that the game still had a lot of bugs that needed to be worked out and WAITED we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.  

I never saw you flying the beta...

If more people such as yourself flew during the beta, a lot more bugs could have been found and squashed.

Here's your cheese to go with your whine...

Oscillating but I have V-Sync turned off. As well, my desktop res and game res are the same - 1024 x 768.

Thanks for the help though - it's appreciated. SOmetimes the frustration speaks before the logistical side :-)

Vsync ALWAYS on.  By having it off, it makes me think you have not read ANYTHING that has been posted on this bbs re. how to set up AH.  OR, maybe you have, and just think you know better. (shrug)

use 1024x768 res. in AH.  use 256 object size.  MAKE SURE all three sliders are at least 1/2 way towards performance.  I find ground deatil gives me the hardest hit, so i usually have it set quite low.  

Antialiasing - OFF
Anisotropic filtering - OFF

Also consider setting your max FPS to 45.

I'm not much of a wine drinker.. Is cheese and whine really a tasty combination?

Either it's the latest patch or it is the map we're using now but my FPS just decreased with about 10-15 at lowest level. First time in AH2 I've had less then 30fps in furball, was even down low enough to make it noticable. Hope it is the map. I also only get 20-25fps in a Tank on the current map.

[jetb123]

I think 20-30 fps is great I used to get it with my intergrated card. And even in furballs My frame rates would never drop. But if i tried to talk once they droped below 15. I got discoed, Anyway if your getting 40fps stay with that its great.

Cant say enough about the latest patch.
Was getting crappy FRs and unfathomable stutters
Also had invisible mountians and ground features, lots of shimmers.
Spoke to the Wife AKK and was ready to quit.

Luckily I waited, and after being on vacation for 2 weeks came back to a playable game

Frame rates jumped from crap in a furball to around 45> 60

FM in new version is tough to get used to, but is better than before.
GV battles are exactly what you make them, position, position, position!!!!!!!!!

HT>>>
Good job so far, keep up the good work. Only problem I still have is the Shore Batterys(all of them) that generate through mountains, dont understand why, but I can see it popping up and rebuilding continuosly as I approach a field


Available for quick kills daily!!!!!!!!!

What are your system specs for those planning to upgrade?

Hum I might be missing something but I have not had any problems with the game at all but it sounds like you guys are haveing problems with the ATI vid cards? I use a 9700 ATI all in wonder and its been working fine with 1024 textures and with 4X anisotropic filtering and no AA and all games setting are on max. I have a AMD 2500XP clocked to a 3000XP and 1 GB of duel channel Ram.
I use Omega drivers 2.5.04 and not stock ATI drivers.
There are newer omega drivers that are out but theses seem to work well for me. I have not tested the latest Omega drivers but I will and see if they are better than the ones I am using. When I tested them 5 months ago I found that the latest drivers where not always the best you have to test them and see what works best for you. if you want here is the link for the  Omega Drivers  Omega makes drivers for Nvidia also.
I would say any vid card with less than 128 ram on it will have problems running most newer games. I also found that Freezing of fps is mostly do to system stressing and heat issues mainly. Make sure you check the fan on your vid card they dont last that long and this my be a problem that you would have with freezes. The fan might be slowing down at times do to over stressing.
