The new terrain editor is now available for download. This is a beta as we don't have documentation for it, but it is an easy transistion to make from the original editor.
To get the beta, you must have the current version of the terrain editor installed. Download and install the new editor. There will be a new icon in your Aces High program group in your Start menu to start the program. The download is about 400KB, the link is:
http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/AHEDIT200.EXE The new editor is now a Windows style app. It has the same basic functionality as the original editor but is easier to use and has some nice new navigation features.
There is a terrain window and a map window. You can move around in the terrain in a number of ways. You can use your joystick just as in the original version. You can use ALT-Left Mouse Button to drag the terrain in the main window. You can use the two slider bars in the main window. Finally, you can left click and drag the map window to move around.
Other improvements include being able to switch instantly between terrain edit functions and object edit functions. There are also hot keys available in the object editor. Just hold down the control key and the underlined letter of function you desire like most other Windows apps.
It should be a pretty smooth transistion for you if you've been using the old editor. If you haven't used the original editor, you may want to wait until we release the help file for the new version although the original docs will cover most of the functionality.
Please direct comments and questions about the beta to our Terrain Editor forum. Here is a pic of the editor.
