With it being 2012 now DX9 is another year outdated, (just saying, DX9 release 2002.)
I can't believe HTC doesn't have confidence in itself that it's player base, (loyalty proven as they are running 10 year old PC technology, still,) would not upgrade their PC's to keep with the times which would help AcesHigh grow rather than stagnate. It's not like Combat Tour is taking up their time anymore, the dated 3D engine and noticably simplistic SFXs could all use updating into this decade.
Cheech was heavy handed in his approach, but I for one firmly believe he was trying to spur HTC into catching up with it's competition graphically.
Cheech has done what has to be the best AcesHigh vids to grace Youtube, I sincerly hope that they will be reuploaded soon, just for my benefit
I hope he can forgive Skuzzy's hastey Skuzzination.
AcesHigh has the best physics models for it's aircraft, I advise against any complacency with graphics. It's not 2001-2003 anymore, gamers these days like their eyecandy. Their post processing, their pretty explosions, bump mapping, MipMapping, antialiasing, HighDefinition, shiney metallic surfaces and scratches on their flexiglass.
The ground work's done, the physics are honed and toned, sadly the looks... are crinkly and wrinkly.
Come on HTC do us proud! Lets bury the competition for once and for all.
