The fact that I can effectively (when I have time) play AHII on my Dell 4600 system, I believe from 2002, but no newer than 2003, makes it obvious that HTC is doing what they can to make their game available to as many people as possible. I have a 1.6 processor, can't recall the video card (I'm at work) but it is the best I could put in it for the power supply (250w) I have, and 1g RAM. I can't upgrade my system any further, yet I can still play the game with maybe 20-30 fps in decent conditions. Can't do hordes, about 9 fps, and GHI missions put me about 1fps, but I caouldn't even attempt to play most ofthe newer games out there because they cater to the high end computer industry, not the paying customer base.
At least, that is my take on this. Thank you HTC for continuing to make available to people like me a pretty dang awesome flight sim. I have seen screen shots here on the BBS that show me some pretty spectacular graphics do exist on AH for those with high end systems, but even mine I can run at decent graphics setting. Only thing I really cant do is animate the water. But really,I am only interested in flying and attempting to shoot something down (someday, someday) and all the rest of the graphics don't really mean that much when I am trying to fill my screen with reds and baddies.
