I like the new graphics. I turned off the shiney water thing cause it blinded me during a dogfight over water. Frame rate went up to a steady 50 to 60 fps with no stutter.

Would I trade the new graphics for a new TU-2 and a perked bomber? Like the A-26?

Yeah..probably. While I love the new look I think upgrades of existing aircraft, and modeling of plane set gaps, should be priority #1. The 239 and I-16 probably wont end up Queens but I still would have done other planes.

My opinion only. Which probably aint worth a nickle.

We lost a great many things.

snipped

In a way, I should be grateful that my enjoyment
of the game is suffering with this downgrade..
maybe now I'll finally be able to break this insidious
addiction!

just out of curiosity, but you sure do make a lot of posts complaining about how this recent update is in your words a downgrade and have not offered up any of your problems or asked for help in the proper forums

you have not contributed any or offered up your DXDIAG, your problems have not been posted in any support forum...you have not posted in the following forums dating back since may or before:
Technical Support Forum
AH Bug Report Forum
Aces High II 2.14 Beta Forum

you made no attempt to check and see if the new update , when it was opened for public testing for over a whole month to the community, nor made any post in that beta forum saying you are having problems...

yet you continually flame HTC and this new update........ and you are showing just how pathetic your postings really are.....

the majority of your post to these forums involve hordewars in the Main Arenas where a squad or squads on one country work together to play "win the flag"


quit your beoching until you offer up your system specs, your DXDIAG, and your problems you are having  and post these in the Tech Support forum and or the Bug Forum........ asking for help to find a resolution or a way to help you enjoy the game more......if you are to lazy to do this then you do not really need to flame HTC and their product, now do you?

The fact that I can actually get 20+ FPS without really sacraficing anything but the terrain really. (was expecting to be flying in a green square shooting at red squares)

I personally think HTC has done an amazing job with this update, especially the time they took to make sure it was plenty playable for people with lower end computers.

hey easyscor, is the download on the website updated for the new Coral Sea map? The arena's locked, for Coral Sea I would assume.
No, as far as I know, but the arena should be unlocked by now.

Let me see...

Photorealistic terrain, check!
Animated water, check!
Reflections, check!
Terrain shadowing, check!
Self shadowing, check!


Photorealistic terrain, check! - yea, it looks like a photo now - from 15K.
Animated water, check! - yea, its animated for those who have the PCs to display it.
Reflections, check! - see above
Terrain shadowing, check! - see above
Self shadowing, check! - see above

For those without uber machines, the game seriously looks
like a nintendo arcade game.  To the casual new subscriber
this game will disappoint and not serve lower-end gamers
looking for an online flight sim.

Uber machines, lol. This game is still not really all that resource intensive, the only new feature that is is smooth self shadow. As long as you've got a half-decent video card you can run it at pretty high settings, save for the stutters that are still randomly plaguing some people systems.

So, you started this thread to slap down those who respected you enough to take it as a serious question? Shame on you Delta.

Delta,

Just out of curiosity, what would you like done to improve AH2 for the” lower-end gamers”?

The more I mess around with drivers and video setting, the more I'm coming to hate it. It shouldn't be this much work to get a game to run right. The ground looks nothing close to real for me. My screen shots and HTCs are 2 different games. :mad:

Sure I like my frame rate going from the 80s in the last version to the 20s in this one. The land scape looks like waters colors did by a 6 year old and only by turning off all I can and going to the bottom of the graphics can I even play so whats not to like??

I like having separate tile sets for PTO terrains. I love the Pacific-themed terrains to actually LOOK like it, rather than the Euro-centric build we'd had the rest of the time.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Excluding the introduction of 2 new planes as
these could have been introduced in the earlier version.

So, aside from the planes, what do you like
about the new upgrade?

The same thing I like about all the others......reading all of the whines in the bbs.  :x
