• Poll: Do you like the new upgrade?!•

We lost a great many things.

Lost
• beach obstacles
• decent ground clutter - someone slaughtered all the sheep!
(looks like I'm driving across the sargasso sea when I'm in a GV)
• structures and terrain for GV's
• hills (can't find any, but that might just be me)
• wakes (unless you can run the game with details)
• decent water (with detail turned down the tiling looks hideous)
• trouble-free performance

I'm, sorry to say this but the terrain is far less interesting
now.  It looks kike a photo from the sky but thats about it.

Gained
• shiny water with kewl reflections
• 2 planes (that didn't require an entire upgrade to get, BTW)
• headaches
• anything I missed here??

So, was the trade-off worth it?  Not for me.
I have upgrade fatigue and won't be buying any
new hardware for my PC.  Personally, I'm hoping
Dale & crew will figure out a way to amake it work
across his client base, and not just for those who
can afford to build a PC around a game.

i agree completely. the ground looks terrible. Its PLAIN! literally plain compare to the old version. and not to mention, those two planes arent really the best. why wouldnt you bring the He-111? or the 410? or that other russian bomber? i forget what its called. Honestly this game was much better in a seperate program (like the beta) rather than just going over the actual game. My frame rates are crap now. I have to buy upgrades because of it. Some of the planes i see are completely WHITE. Ya sure the water is nice. the ships look better (not sure if they updated it but ok) and i can see all the GV's on the ground without having to change to vis ground view or other things in the distance. but the land is plain. there are little dots of trees and stuff besides the trees all over (which was awesome). I dont know, the update didnt do anything that GREAT in my mind. its also not that busy as it used to be. on times in the old version, orange would be 300/300 people in but now i would see only 200/200 (average). Update this game like it used to be but keep the graphics and raise the frames. do it so i dont have to waste money on upgrading and so my squadmates can come back and play. Thank you.

Has nothing to do with the new version. It's simply a problem with new/converted terrain intended for immediate use when a fundamental new version arrives. The purpose of these terrains is to immediately provide the players with a terrain to play in, and how well detailed and crafted the terrain is, is not an issue.

Or perhaps you'd like the AH service to be halted for maybe a few weeks until the developers or mapmakers can come up with a beutiful new terrain which has all the details the previous version terrains had?

• wakes (unless you can run the game with details)
• decent water (with detail turned down the tiling looks hideous)
• trouble-free performance

Try evolving from a dinosaur into a bird.




... gee, that didn't take long.

2 for me

Here are the votes so far btw.

2 - it still needs some tweaking but it's so much better than anything else in the same category. 

[kvuo75]

i'd say 2, but i really cant run with detailed terrain/water boxes checked, I get average about 20fps.  But with detailed terrain unchecked, It's pretty much the same game as 2 weeks ago -- the ground is a blur at the moment, but the game still functions, is fully playable, and I fully peg my display vsync of 60fps now at all times 

I'd almost go towards 1 because:

Added the Finnish Brewster B-239.


Added the I-16.


Reworked the 3D model of the Typhoon.

Weapons from a previous sortie that are still in the world are destroyed when you start a new sortie. Vehicle supplies are excluded from this.


Me 163 flight model was completely redone.


Added a Campaign Manager (CM) announcement channel that can be used to broadcast reminders to all arenas from the lobby when events are about to start.


Changed arena configuration to allow more airplanes to be seen with high detail updates.


Changed automatic ack to fire in bursts, adjusted firing rates.


Lancaster fuel loadouts now loads corresponding fuel % correctly.


The Me 163 no longer drop gear on ground with the secondary weapon key/button.


Fixed a bug that allowed the La-7 to exceed its ceiling.


Added "total fuel" gauges to all older planes.


Fixed a bug in the "Country Stats" menu that didn’t highlight the correct selected field.


Fixed incorrect weights of RS 82 and RS 132 rockets.


Spit 14 fuel tanks were reconfigured in position and labels.


Fixed a bug that could cause vehicles to fall through the terrain under very special circumstances.


Fixed a bug that kept the P-51B from attaining full throttle at higher altitudes.


Fixed a bug that allowed LVT’s to spawn onshore when the CV was a certain distance offshore.


Fixed a bug that caused all objects, including your plane, to become invisible at high altitudes when the arena fog visibility was set extremely low.


Me 163 rate of climb indicator now reads correctly.


Fixed a bug that caused the mouse not to work as a flight controller unless it went through a calibration.


Lancaster nose guns now fire from the correct position.


Ta 152 no longer loses speed from the drop tank carriage.


N1K2 tachometer now shows the correct RPM.


Fixed a bug in the ship guns that allowed a quick second shot when switching ammo types.


Fixed a bug in vehicles that instantly reloaded the tank gun after rearming.


Fixed a bug in the T-34/85 that messed up the gunner’s view when the barrel was depressed after switching ammo types.


Fixed a bug in the explosion collider that would apply damage to the opposite side of the explosion.


Fixed a bug that would allow vehicles to spawn on airplane spawn points using the .fly command.


Tracers on the P-39’s 37mm now display.


B-25H’s manifold pressure and RPM gauges were recalibrated.


Spitfire XIV fuel damage labels were reversed.


Fixed a typo in the Il-2’s damage list.


Fixed a bug that caused radiator leaks in the Ju88’s engine to remain after the wing was gone.


Lancaster radiator damage now shows up in the damage list.


Rapid use of the enter key while typing into the text radio no longer results in premature ejection.


Changed the .r quick reply command to only work with personal messages and not squad messages.


Fixed a display issue on the B5N wheelwells.


Me 262 engine cone no longer spins.


Fixed an office building and shore battery 3D shapes that allowed vehicles to get inside the destroyed shape.


Fixed a vertex issue in the left wing of the Bf 109’s.


Fixed a missing a missing tail poly in the Il-2.


Changed port object to remove the sea wall.


Made color and material changes to the Firefly’s texture.


Fixed a shading issue on the B-25’s medium level of detail shape.


Fixed a material issue on the B-25’s tires.


Fixed some various auto-acks that had been tagged to fire the wrong weapons.


Added oil damage to the cowling of the N1K2.


Changed the look of the F6F’s oil damage.


Reduced the specular properties of ships.


Changed material on CV gunner selection platform.
