A little note for your use.

IF a business, any business, finds itself in a situation that COULD result in the LOSS of customers, especially long time customers, because of something like the contrasting colors they have chosen, I would think they would want input!

Driving away customers does NOT a business create!

Further I will post as much as I want about this issue, if you don't want to read about it ignore my post.

I NOW get a headache from AH.  I did not before.

I very greatly enjoy AH and have been a customer for a LONG time.  I am trying to remain a customer.  If that requires 50 post on the subject expect 50 post!

Less than 24 hours since the new release, they haven't had time to respond, never mind make any changes, and you start talking about closing your account. That's just plain absurd and childish. If there's a problem, they'll FIX IT. They ALWAYS have. Give it at LEAST a day or two. Hell, give them time to post in response.

Heh.

Honestly, I flew for about 1.25 hours last night, and this morning's diatribes are the first warning I've had that I should be suffering from a headache.  I like the new terrain.  The clouds are beautiful, the windmills are cute, and I had no trouble with brightness issues interfering with the fights I had.  Best of all, it seems to me that the frame rates have noticeably improved.

I have the opposite, my framerates SUCK now and they were just fine before. I get a mini freeze with every dot or icon that comes into view, and if I get anywhere near a field or large group of trees it drops down into the single digits. Was a steady 75-80 in the last version.

Many have responded.

Some have even been rather insulting with that response.

The different threads were created over a period of time.

Wasn't sure what the problem was at 1st.

Posted even so.

After trying every way I could to make AHII more EYE COMFORTABLE, and failing, I finally realized it the colors, or shades of colors combined.  So I posted again.

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Studies have been made!

VAST amounts of money has been spent!

All to discover certain combinations of colors make people uncomfortable, can produce eye strain, make individuals irritable, etc............

So why not benefit from the money others have already spent?

IF you KNEW that the colors you used in your PC SIM actually pushed customers AWAY, made them uncomfortable, maybe even irritable,  made them STOP paying you, wouldn't you want to know?

It's NOT a threat!

It's a FACT!

If the game/sim colors/shades combinations produce HEADACHE's then it is, or will eventually becomes, UNPLAYABLE!

If I can't enjoy AH because it gives me headaches then why pay for it?

I will have NO CHOICE!

You sound young and in good health SIR.  

Calling my statement a whine and a threat to quite if I do not get what I want is a misunderstanding of the facts!

I don't want to quite.............. but I may have no choice:(

I have not experienced any headache problems at all with this version, and as most of you know, I spend several, and I do mean "several" hours daily on Aces High.  I thought the sky in the old patch was too bright, especially when flying into the sun.

  If you are a long time customer than you know HT will do his best to fix problems with the sim. Me young,,,, far from it. Just give them time. Threating to cancel your account before the new version is 24 hours old and no  patches have been put out strikes me as whine. Hang in there give them a little time.:)

I didn't notice any problems. However the ground has got a lot of brown shading in it, more than before, but at least it breaks up the vivid green.

I like the beaches, but maybe a little more randomness on the tiling would break up the 'stamp' effect when looking down the coast.

It's really hard to get an organic look when your tiles are the size they are in this game.

I can see where that could be possible.

I admit I am reacting with allot of activity.

Most probably because I GREATLY ENJOY this sim.

I don't wish to be drivin away due to something as SEEMINGLY trivial as color/shading combinations.

I do want AH to continue to grow and prosper.

Thus I react with considerable activity to what I see as a problem that could destroy my enjoyment of, and hurt the business of, Aces High.

Again it's NO THREAT, I can NOT fly in AH at this time.

Yes I intend to wait.  

How long depends VERY greatly on the response HT and company puts forth.

I liked the changes, then again I'm not running a high end machine, so I'm less apt to disappointment. :D

HT needs to fix the color/contrast..
I played for 3 hrs last night and found it hard to see planes and GV's against the new sky and ground.

Tried it.

Didn't have to touch any settings except the in game gamma by putting it up some.

Love the extras and think its a good job all round.

Thanks for the effort HTC its much appreciated.
