The trees in AH have always been fishy.  Now we know why.   The Bish have teamed up with the Ents!!





This happened when I blacked out.

700 ft. above sea level. ground might have been 680 ft above sea level to start out with.

They do.

They are there but you can't see them until its too late.

They dance about the terrain awaiting your plane to fly by then jump up to grab hold of it.

I hate to be the one to say it... As good as they look w/ slidders up all the way mind you, they aren't worth the agrivation.

have to say ... i'm not a fan of the shape shifting / morphing trees ethir

it's just looks wrong..... looked better before IMHO because things didn't morph when you got close .. I like the basic idea of new trees .. just don't like how they morph so suddenly

I enjoy flying very low and through trees ... this makes even single trees much harder to deal with as they change shape when you get close

OK thats a great idea Frank. Thanks.

FYI, this isnt AH1 anymore. You cant just turn off ground clutter anymore. Which I think is a bad thing but thats besides the point.

You can however slide all the sliders to max performance. And bring in the distance slider so the stuff on the ground will show up at a much closer distsance... All that will help your frame rates.

But what it wont do is prevent you from slamming into a tree.

The only thing that will be different once you do this, is that you'll be slamming into crap that you can't see. The trees, even tho you can't see them are still there. So I turn my settings up so I can see them but they wreck my frame rate. If I turn them down I slam into them not knowing they were there a split second before.

Its a lose/lose situation as far as I'm concerned.

Like Mane said... I too like the new trees. The idea of them is great. I think there are WAY too many but they still look ok.

I think they need alot more work. I'm not into coding games so I dont know much about the work that goes into creating these things. I am very greatful to Hitech for creating a game such as Aces High. I can't imagine how much work its been. And its' looking better every single patch and update we get.

You will never get something perfect. There's always going to be glitches and bugs when it comes to programing. That I do know.

For me, on MY system after this patch, I'm getting alot more bugs and things that just aren't right.

The trees are at the top of my list for most anoying right now.

Sorry, just pointing out a graphics bug in a recent session of AH.  Every time I got to the point of blacking out those leaves would zoom out instead of the typical tunnel vision.  It made it even more impossible to track a con when you have shadowed leaves in your face.

Anyone have any ideas why and how that could have happened?

EDIT: And I edited out the trees being at 700ft in my post because the point of this thread wasnt really directed towards the new trees in AH.  JB42's post was starting to lean towards that.

when i used to change vis settings in ah the blackout would sometimes change from tunnel vision-blackout to instant full black when I hit any G's

maybe similar bug?, had you just changed some vid settings.... does it happen every time you play?

sounds like an annoying bug to me .......

shape-shifting trees just feels like a bug :p

I had a few blackouts that looked like I took an oil hit. Streaks all over the windshield. I even checked damage to make sure their was no oil leak.

Rightfoot, I know this probably sounds like a :eek: 'crazy' :eek: idea, but maybe posting about this in Bug Reports forum would help?

Trees are only around 120 ft. at their highest point.
