Make use of the backup MA (SIM ARENA)
« on: September 29, 2005, 02:58:11 PM »
Hey Hitech and Crew

Love the game but...

I hear tales of playing AH1 with rain, fog and the ever debated night....  

I also hear how the Hangers used to be down for two hours...

And I seam to remember that calibration took skill...... (don't tell me its your system, if I can do it on dialup from OZ)

I would like a max realism arena and not wanting to try and force this on others, I think it would be a good idea to setup the backup MA with it all

1- Weather
2- Night and Day
3- Proper Norton Calibration
4- Short range icons
5- All later war Planes perked (or not there)
6- On that note separate perks from the MA if possible
7- Heavy buffs (17,24,Lanc) perked (or formations perked if possible)
8- Fuel burn set to 1.0 or 1.5
9- If possible disable triggers in the F3 view
10- Make auto field Ack stronger, more deadly


Give us a taste of AH in simulation mode.....

Just my little AH whish

What do the rest of you think

I agree 100% Bring on the "real" world. Change the names from MA, and backup MA, to Easy World, and Real World. I would rather fly in the "real" world, with all the challenges that it brings. I think the MA right now is way to easy to fight in.

Variable wind layers, clouds, rain, sleet, snow, fog, NIGHT. I could get into that:aok

I agree, but I'd add make it a theater specific planeset (rotate each tour) and Axis v. Allies. And with a rolling planeset (start each tour in spring 1940, end in summer 1945).

My $0.02
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Great Idea!!!!!


Hitech, You added all these goodies to the game. The night is one of the best looking parts in AH2. You really nailed it! Shame to see it be wasted and not used.

Weather could really add to the game also, bumps through the clouds, rain, sleet, snow, fog covered runways.

And to have it in a seperate arena that is already available...wow what an Idea...what are we waiting on?:aok

Rain was in way back in AH1.  It didn't look good, but it was there.

More realism in a seperate Arena.


Then I would spend more time in the game and less looking at conspiracy theories... :)
