AW3 Nite

[SirLoin]

Just a suggestion...

Aces High is top notch..leader of the pack in WW2 flight combat(by a huge margin)..but what if?..

HTC buy up the rights for AW3 ..  Set up an arena(1 nite a month) for all us AW rejects to have some ol' time Big PAC fun!

What u guys think?

Think they would end up having more wanting AW than AH. It'll never happen.

I still have AW3 on disk , and for giggles i ran it a year or so ago .  Its really outdated , i dont think HTC would have anything to worry about . It basically looks like an old atari game lol

I miss the pink spits, the Oscar Meyer weiner goons, and Korea!!!!

[Glasses]

mmmm Korea

MiGs and Sabres

MiGs and Sabres

Wait that would be a fair fight it won't happen

[eilif]

alot of the things that made AW good are in AH already, AW3 is just a name, would you just want to use the old graphics? Isnt there a way to host your own AW servers?

[louman]

I have the AWCD.......lets face it AH is a better sim now....It just dosen't conform to the game that we were used to playing.....Spit factory....countrys A, B and C.......small % HO's... some of the people and squads etc...time to move on boys...someday AH will be obsolete too!

Are you going to fork over the few million EA wants for the rights to AW and the additional few hundred grand it would take to set up the servers and then the addition few hundred grand per month to run and maintain the servers or do you expect HTC to shoulder the burden of the costs which would then force him to increase the subscription price to host an obsolete game for a few that which to live in the past?  AW is dead, let it rest in peace.



ack-ack

I never played AW and am not at all interested in the idea.  This is AH, you don't wanna play it - don't.  Air Warrior is dead .... move on.

[Alky]

I'd suggest if folks are still stuck on AW, find like-minded people and dual each other via IP.  
I have AW installed and it's not that exciting anymore

One thing I liked about AW3 is the Migs und teh Sabres so Tell  someone at Grapevine to make it so , then again coming from me it would take   the  a whole brewery to get at least the 3d models made

Id like to see just a map made...a copy of BIGPAC just for old times sake. I love the planes in here, and its real close to how AW was played. The 2 major differences are the lack of a briefing room, and the maps. Having every base listed as just a number, rather than a name, takes away from the immersion that each map could provide.

   BIGPAC had names for their bases...here its just A70, V30 etc. If anything Id like the terrain setup differently, to make bases have real names.

[skernsk]

Thats a cool idea, having names instead of numbers is interesting.  There is a large map made by a member of the terrain team.  It is of the entire Pacific theatre.  You may see it in the SEA but it won't be in the MA.

Once upon a time I built a small cabin in the mountains east of Twi (Twilight). On a clear day I could sit on my porch, prop my feet up on the pine rail, drink a beer, and see across to Mog (Moggy).
The view was breath taking.
