What were the planes that AH had when it first came out?
« on: April 08, 2011, 05:47:26 PM »
I've been curious about this.

Also, does anyone one have screen shots of AH when it first came out?  Planes, fields, towns, etc.  Would you be willing to post side-by-side pictures of these things with what is current?  Of these first planes, which one do we have that is still in that "current state" that really would benefit from a remodel?  Or have they all be updated at one point?  I also read in a thread that you had to run from the tower to your plane in the past.  Was this true?  Imagine vulches at that point, if they happened as often as they do now... :lol  If it is true, did shooting the parked plane before the pilot got to it result in a death or was the plane invulnerable till the pilot made it to it?

I'd really like to see some screen shots of what AH looked like when it first came out.  Aces High History. :aok

I didn't even think about the .plane 1-??? thing.  :o

The K-4 was the 2nd plane made?  That one surprised me a little.  I'm now curious to what plane 7 was as it gave me an invalid model number... :headscratch:

Do you happen to have screen shots of what Aces High looked like when you first released it, or did you can those?  I'm just curious between what we have now vs what was out then.  How does it make you feel when you look at what was first introduced when you compare it to now?  Does looking back at what you had then, help with what you would like to try in the future?

Yep, this is what I meant.  Oh boy, could you imagine if you had to update from that CD, you know, if it would actually do it? :O

Just looked through the BoB 04...and wow, that ack looks deadly. :O  Coral Sea looks crazy fun. :x  Going to save that link so I can look through it later (need to get to sleep. Work early tomorrow.).  Really wish I had a work schedule that would allow me to participate in those events. :cry

Just looking at those screen shots, can really see a difference with what we have now.  Makes me excited to what the HTC crew has in-store for us in the future. :x

You may want to check that again.  The K-4 didn't even get added until a few years ago, replacing the G-10.  K-4 wasn't around in AH1, came out in AH2.

Oooooold stuff...

We have come a looooong way!

Although I do miss the Fw190 visibility, the P-51B lack of visibility, the map easter eggs and... to some degree yes I miss the sheep.

W/out double checking in game, if my memory is correct the planes we had in AH1 Beta1 were P-51D, 109G10 (our current K4), C47, La5, N1K, and I think the B-17.

Argh I just realized AH can be described as 'a bunch of old gits flying cartoon planes'. I start to feel old.  :old:
