An old idea that might work here

I loved weather.

I remember a while back, they developed a new dynamic weather system for AHII. The first time the arena reset (at 2 AM) after they installed it, it crashed it. Skuzzy forgot to turn off the alarm before he busted into the office, I remember. Anyway, I haven't heard anything about it since it was removed due to that issue. Too bad, really.

And yes, it is a pity. I've been in this game for about 3 years and the frequency of updates has steadily decreased. This coincides with less and less news about Combat Tour. Who knows what's going on, because the regular game is being updated at an absolute snail's pace, and we hear nothing about what HTC is (presumably) working on instead. The value of this game is, in my opinion, somewhat diminished by the void of its untapped potential.

My experience in Air Warrior III was limited to basically 1998 - 2001ish...  But during that time, I always flew on the same darn map (per arena), with the same darn plane set, and the same darn everything.

Just off the top of my head (and obviously missing huge chunks), since I started Aces High in 2004:

- Aces High II came out
- Ki84, B-24, B-25, two new P-38's, a new Corsair, new 109 and Spitfires, P-39, several new ground vehicles, etc.
- Ability to fly offline vs. an AI opponent that will actually shoot back
- Several new maps
- You get the picture.

I think our definitions of "snail's pace" are very different I am very pleased
