Considering the state of the economy and that the next version will be sandboxed in an open beta arena first. I'm betting HiTech is addressing how not to blow out as many low end PC's as possible. Personaly I would like a switch to turn off the eye candy and the terrain back to 2D 16 or 256 color. It's not like you can walk into the buildings and buy a beer, get laid or chop down the trees and watch them fall.

Heck the cast iron sheep in the medows dont even have fishnet stockings on........  :x

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

The new version/patch will have that option. You can easily turn the high end terrain on and off as you wish.

As far as the sheep go,  each one is branded with the HTC logo, made of indestructible space age materials which help it conduct enough energy to flip you over or kill you on contact. If you touch one your done.

Question for HTC since the post says it will be a separate download.

Can I copy and paste my (settings), (sounds), (ahiiterr), (maps), (sights), and (cache) folders from the current Aces High II folder, into  the Beta installation folder like I would on a clean AH2 install?

Most things will copy and remain functional.  The cache folder won't do anything.  There is no more caching in the next version.  Skins will be different as well.  There will now be two sets of skins.  Instead of one set of skins that gets down-sampled, either a high-res set or a low-res set will be downloaded according to how your video is configured.  The current skin files will be compatible as the the high-res skins.

High res skins?  Awesome, does that mean some of the older models in 256 have been redone to 1024?

That's good news, and thanks for replying.    :rock  Re-mapping everything is a major hassle.
