I don't know why you guys don't poke your head into the TE forums every once in a while:

Hey, I know every single one of us would be willing to wait on a 6 meg. download, just to have a game in the snow!

You don't understand what a hassle it is to try to make terrains. The guy (USRanger) who made that terrain I linked took at least 1 month to make it. To make an MA map or even SEA map using snow tiles would take at least 3 months to check, re-check, and confirm the terrain works.

hassle schmassle.

i am suprized by the consistancy of your ney-saying bogie. i would be interested to read your wishes...i hope that you have some of your own...i hope also that you might see some of them come true.

if it's manpower that's the problem...well...there's some hella-fine talent in this outfit and i'm pretty darn sure that a green light would be all that it would take to get that fish swimmin faster than a GI to a british skirt.

it seems to me that the immersion factor has played itself heavilly into flight characteristics...which are GREAT! but who would'nt love to see that genius balanced with an immersion value worthy of it's true simulation power.

a winter map please.

JB88, my only wish is that the "AFK" option does something. Hitech himself said, "Good Idea Bogie" when I suggested it do something more than just change your name to red. And here's a winter map:

I'll have the winter map that Bogie is talking about(see pics thru his link) on Friday on my new website. It's a small 64 x 64map, but you can see what I have. I'm currently working on a much larger winter map using a variety of new snow textures. Til then, plz enjoy the smaller one, downloadable in the Terrain Editor forum on Friday

Thanks for the update ranger.

i know, i have seen it. thank you.

so is that an MA map then?

Bogie603rd · « **Reply #24 on:** September 13, 2006, 10:11:40 AM »

You heard earlier that unless HTC allows it, MA maps will NEVER have snow tiles. Right now they do not allow custom objects, which means no custom tiles. That means no snow in the MA unless HTC changes some things. I don't blame them for it, because if there's a sudden code change some of these MA maps would become "obsolete".

It took me over a month and a half to make my snow terrain w/ all textures

And it would not be used for ma so i deleted it lol.

When I modified the textures for Rhine2, it only took a few hours total, so it's not a terribly difficult thing to do. It is not a matter of creating new tiles... just replacing the textures of existing tiles. The >6 meg download size is not something HTC wants to get into... either is swapping out the cache file every time you switch arenas.

Thanks for the feedback on Rhine2, though.

a winter map, like all of the others would best be bundled first with the initial download...if not, it would be available in advance from the website.

with the initial size of the game as a comparison, 6 megs is hardly something to be concerned about is it?

How big IS the game anyway? Mine varies daily between 700GB and 700KB.

Hard to believe you'll get AHII to fit on 700kB. Or to take 700GB. My AHII-folder takes a bit over 1.5GB but that's with hi-res textures, films, screenshots etc.

From the downloads page:

Current Version : 2.08 Patch 3
Last Updated : June 19, 2006
Size : 76.06MB
Download Aces High II

That's just the game without skins, hi-res textures and terrains. Adding a winter map to that might not increase the size too much, but I still doubt it would be done. Oh well, maybe with these new arenas we'll see different maps.
