Why i think this game is bad
« Reply #45 on: July 15, 2001, 07:27:00 PM »
Ahh its always refreshing to find someone intellectually inferior - especially by such a great margin.

First a nice contradiction: Everybody Flies the same planes: you then go on to list 6 different aircraft. Hmmmmm?

Then the register numbers? Where did you see these? My guess is 1500. How did I guess that? Rankings. Some of those 1500 will be two-weekers like yourself. 1500 x $30 = $45000. Less premises rent, less internet traffic bills, power bills, costs of hardware (server upgrades), software costs, development costs, 6+ staff will eat a large portion of that. Doesn't sound like Hi Profits to me?

Last release we had more than fixes. Next release will be more than fixes too (trains etc). AH is an ongoing development.

If you're such a genius, go write your own Sim, come back and let us know when you're done.

5 days and you're an expert huh?

Ex - a has been
Spert - something ejected

And all this for 30$ a month?
Hi Tech are not stupid. They want to make money and thats what they are doing.
Ok, 30 a month and how many players?
I have seen register numbers in the thousands so i'll say 5000 estimated members.
5000 x 30 a month is 150.000 a month is these guys income. Cost of development?
What cost? Fix this fix that release new version, add new plane, whoopy do.
Hi Tech = Hi Profits

Errr, WW2 fighter aircraft had microphones on their cameras?



Yes, they did in certain cases. Time Life owns the rights to several examples. The Discovery Wings series included a few.

I have jumped out of real planes 185 times, and when you free fall, all you hear is wind. but in AH, there is no wind blast and I can hear the guys on roger wilco. and when you open your chute in real life, there is a bit of a jolt, but not in AH. and when you are under your canopy, there is still wind, but not in AH.

So as I know how it feels to jump out of a plane, open my chute, and float to the ground under my chute. I know it is not like the real thing in AH, so I will never again play AH because it is not real enough.


Wolf, you almost qualify for the "Superman Suit!"  (requisite: 200 jumps)  :)

I am not claiming to know all the facts, but try to imagine what a microphone would pick up if it were with the camera.  Incredible wind noise, engine roaring noise, and gun firing noise.  Not much to listen to.

I still find it hard to believe there are gun cam sound recordings.  Most recordings I have heard have been just radio and intercom conversations.

Maybe they exist, but I have never heard them.  One thing I can honestly claim, I have fired both a 50 cal and 20mm weapon.

Ever notice on the documentaries that P-51's sound like P-47's sound like Me109's sound like...     ;)

Sorry, Kieran, but you screwed the pooch on this one. The PR guys rigged several late war aircraft for color footage and sound. I have a few excellent cams of 109 shedding wings under the impact of .50's from inside of 50ft. Check out "Wings Over Europe" sometime.

Sorry, Dago. It is possible to shield mics from the wind. I never heard of the japanese caring about such things, but even the Germans and Tommies made PR footage. In the case of them, though, it was mostly attacks on buffs. Some German footage made from the 87 Junkers still exists. Wish I had one.

We have an A&P at work that has been working since '53. I'll ask him tomorrow about the F4U (which he did work on), but I believe another man I know had once told me the P-38 always had mic pickups after the F model. It's not my favorite aircraft, so I don't remember exactly, but I'll hunt him down sometime and ask.

Listen here you sorry excuse for a pile of dog crap... does "Hi Tech = Hi Profits" sound like 12 year old name calling?

You haul your sorry little bellybutton in here, abuse HTC who IMHO have an excellent product. Make outrageous claims about things which you are no expert on. And do it all after 5 days of playing.

The only sucker here is you - the little kid who feels left out because his mom won't give him her credit card to play AH.

Go back to sandpit. Call me when you have written a better product than HTC.

Later pond-scum... I'm off to enjoy one of my favourite games, Aces High, you sulk in your corner while I have fun.
