Well I'll be frank, but some people need to enter the 21st century. To run Windows 7 smoothly and quickly takes a half decent computer these days. People can't run windows 98 machines forever and expect to be able to play all of the new games. I know it's a rough economy now, but with an ever changing technological world, even a decent computer can be had for 400-500 dollars.

63% of all new computers come with an Intel video chip in them.

With Ubisoft behind him, Oleg has had no shortage of funding for this project, and he and his team have taken their sweet time in getting it ready for release.  Anyone who has the hardware to run CoD would be a fool not to buy it, but since I hear it's going to be released on steam, I might be a fool....err, no, I'll probably cave in and buy it anyway. ;)

1C has a completely different business model than AH, and offers a completely different flight sim experience.  Both are good in their own ways.  Il-2 has always offered something more like a simulation of WW2, while AH is free for all combat with the weapons of WW2.  You are not required to hate one if you like the other, but most seem to do so without giving the other a chance.  This goes equally in the other direction, of course.  The Il-2 community thinks we're a bunch of children playing an xbox game that just happens to run on a pc. :)

Wings of Prey or whatever the console port was was ran a lot better on my PC than Aces High does despite looking more or less like Cliffs of Dover, granted I'm sure the flight model calculations were a bit smoother.

Wings of Prey has flight model calculations?

AH has a top notch flight model, and that takes a lot of cpu power with not a lot left over if you don't have a half-decent gpu.  Have you tried Rise of Flight?  The graphics are stunning, but still without as much eye candy as wings of prey.  It can bring a good pc to its knees because of the physics calculations.

Gaffix look sick. Stupid question.. What is keeping HTC from graffix like these?

Well, in this new IL2, you get about a dozen planes to choose from, fun right?  :huh

I'd rather try and find a giant land/air battle with over a hundred players at the cost of graphics, that even turned down, aren't bad.
No one knows what the future may bring.

Ic, but some people play off their "work" pc or labtop, and aces high is just a side enjoyment or time killer for some

Yup. My school got new computers, nice quad core proc, 8 gigs RAM, big hard drive, and onboard video. I lol'd. I wish the OEM's would put some sort of video card in stock.

Well then Aces High is an unneeded thing.

Care to guess how many planes AH had summer of '99, or how many folks you could count on flying with when it first came out?

Lets see if I remember right off the top of my head. I think the total was around 15 for the planes and the numbers online were less than 100 at peak hours for a while.
