I am not saying that I expect WBIII to be a total disaster, but I am sure a lot more people will suddenly appreciate how good job HTC people have been doing so far.

Thought you said WW2OL beta is available.

Doh!

A little bit dissapointed now...

Is this going to work if you don't have a current Warbirds account? I thought it wasn't.

I downloaded and its running fine except in game all the textures are messed up...?

Bugs and tweaks. Gotta work with em.

Initial impression? AH isn't threatened. Sure it's beta but the basic graphics are on par, if as good.

Here's someone elses' example (the WB MAC guys will have a woody being able to have 3D finally)

I flew around for a while offline. Seems like the same product with prettier graphics heh. Still no 3d cockpits. Tracers are a little better. Plane skins seem nice. Terrain looks ok....a bit plastic looking, but ok. Certainly not going to pay for a WB account just to fly an open beta online.

I think I unzipped 'em incorrectly...

Where do you place the .sit file?

Pup,

We know its a beta. We also know that we will talk about anything here in the Aces High O'Club that we, the Aces High players, see fit to talk about.

Thanks for stopping by.
