A new version has been released. You get it by logging into the arena with the old version and auto-updating, or you can get it from our download page. Also available from our download page is a high-resolution texture patch. To use the high-resolution textures, you need to have at least 8 MB of video memory on your video card. Download and install the patch and you're set. If you need to uninstall it, delete the file "hirestex.res" from your Aces High directory.
From a coding and art standpoint, a lot has been done. I'll get together a list of changes and post them up later today.
OTOH, I've been slacking at home in bed these last two days with the flu. This release was delayed and a lot of things that were to be in it had to be left out for now. I wasn't able to get Ogre's latest terrain build into this version. There is a bunch of work in the plane modeling that I didn't get to. I made some changes into the ground handling of the planes but didn't finish that and that leads to some other oddities. The damage modeling I wanted to rough in a little better for the short term, but I didn't even get to that. The next version should be much improved in that department.
