I like the Tips 'o the Day

Funny thing,
My tip of the day told me that “I was a loser and will never make it Aces High & that SkyRock pwnz me”…
Oh wait

I had taken a hiatus from flying due to RL stuff keeping me busy, and that was one of the first things I noticed.  Definitely a nice addition...

Your base is under attack.  It sounds just like the voice on Dune 2000 saying the same thing.  Cracks me up every time I hear it.

So what happens when you alt/F4? Gamewise what happens??

                      One thing I learned recently is if you mouse/freeze hitting "H" unfreezes it for you. I used to have to disco out of the game.

"it takes 10 uninjured paratroopers to capture a maproom"

exactly what do they mean by "uninjured"?

(and the HiTech chk6 thing was one of the tips)

I'm guessing it means:
When landing troops, if you crash land your goon hard enough to break landing gear, I think it injures or kills the troops and they won't run.  Also dropping too low.

Check6 was one of my first sounds to go.  I think I mentally jumped 10 feet out of my seat the first time that went off....startled the crap out of me.

I remember in the beta days when HT was testing the new vox system and 'broadcast' to all, quite scarey.... (no one knew the vox engine was in the game at that stage).

The plane which just exited via Alt+F4 blows up. At least that's how it was in H2H.

If anyone wants to HOST them, i made a bunch of check 6, and warning sounds as well as a couple of hit sounds.

The warnings and check 6's are from a bunch of movies. Original Memphis Belle, 12 o'clock high, Flying Leathernecks, I think i sampled the russian ones from Red Dawn. And also a good Die Walkurie clip for the german birds.

The main hit sounds are actually sampled and edited different snare drum sounds. I  read  somewhere where a pilot had said when his plane was taking hits it sounded like a metal garbage can lid being hit with a hammer.

So if someone wants to HOST them, P.M. me.

Okay for the love of god, where the heck is the check six file located?

[Banshee7]

if you have Windows XP:

My computer -> Local Disk C -> Program Files -> HTC -> Aces High 2 -> Sounds -> Check6

C: Drive ---> Program Files ---> HTC --->Aces High II ----> Sounds ----> check6

Hope this helps.
