Its years behind schedule.

I read the article - how old is it? I found this quote - I guess this isn't going to happen....

>>Aces High II will displace the current version of Aces High. The current arena format will still be available in AH2 as Aces High Classic.<<

I would of liked having the option to continue with the "AH CLassic" while I was getting the funds together to upgrade my computer.

No typos...its not genuine!!

Uh, my frame rates drop to slideshow action when I see more than 10 planes in a given area. I sure as hell don't want to see 1,000 or even 25 planes in any online situation.

Well, a lot of us do!!!

Everytime I see one of these makes me angry. No offence, but go down to your local car dealer and say "hey I wanna buy a new car, btw it needs to have a 4 barrel carb on it tho" See what they say.

There's a reason technology moves FORWARD--------------> not backwards. You get poor framerates, then upgrade your computer. Not, tell the company to make a lesser product becuase YOUR system cant keep up.
Computer gaming & online gaming is not inexpensive, maybe find a cheaper hobby? Badminton is realitively cheap!

Well, considering my PC runs MSFS2004 online and Lock-On much better, I felt the comment was appropriate. I'm not bashing HTC--I'm sure it's more difficult to throw 700 people into an online arena (obviously). But, it certainly appears that some of this over-crowded arena bologna just isn't going to fly very well.

I'll ignore your other LTARDED comments.

Interesting thing is that HTC had the issue fixed a couple months back with one of their updates. Then, lately, the poor frame rates returned for some reason.

I have heard through a reliable industry source (Who will have to remain nameless) due to "Homeland security laws". That the reason for the hold up is...............German copyright infringment laws!:O Yes thats right!:huh
German copyright infringment laws. See the problem here is that the Germans feel left out of the fun. Oh sure their are members on from the fatherland. But you know these are the original Tutonic Knights my brothers and Sisters. they are not going to stand by and re live the bombing of their Dresden's and Hamburg's and so on and so forth. So it is held up in litigation in the international courts in the Hague. Also to, the exchange rate for the Euro keeps fluctuating and it makes it hard for HTC charge them consistently.

So yes you heard it first here Boys and Girls so you can stop posting here, because it will be a long wait for the final product:furious

Well that just means, dont fly axis. Need to fly the rugged american stuff so wont have to worry about seeing that many lazergunned planes.

I was referring to HT's reference to 1,000. And, no, you'll never see 1,000 people logged into the server, but I'd hope that we wouldn't see that many AI a/c either. The real problem is that, when flying online, quite a few members of the community experience frame rate drops (practically unplayable) when only 25 planes are within a close perimeter.
