TO thoese who say aces high as bad graphics.
« on: January 10, 2012, 03:22:06 PM »
How dose these pics look bad?

and this must look like its from 1998  :rolleyes:

and no image editing was used. my point for posting this is for the people who say "the bad graphics drive people away" how the??? how are these graphics bad? really get a new computer before you start making a bad rap for the games graphics when u can even run them on high and have video on 800x600 :rolleyes:
only a moron would use Dolby positioning in a game.

Post some pics of other WW2 games to compare graphics.  I honestly don't have a very good feel for where AH stands since this is the only one I fly and will ever fly.

Wings of Prey.

AH doesn't have bad graphics, but it's not exactly Crysis either. I'm happy with it.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

looks pretty but sux hugely compared to AH.....if we had the graphics of crysis AH would not run the way it does. half the people wouldn't be able to play(half) is used figuratively :aok

It may not have "bad graphics" but it doesn't have excellent, great, or good graphics.  They're meh.  It's our meh though.

Also eff everything about how you spelled the title.

Would be nice to have a sky and terrain looking like this in AH.

It's the clouds and their shadows that really make the effect there.  If AH had them man would it look better.

Right, but we're talking graphics here, and AH is a 6/10 for me. RoF and WoP gets a 9.5/10.

But you're right, and so is HTC's decision to not make AH "Crysis-standard". The game is a gift, better graphics would be an extra cake.  :aok

AH has great graphics on recent planes.  Everything since around the time of the remodeled Hellcat.  The problem is when you have old models still in the mix.  The HTC staff still has many planes to remodel but only a small staff to do it with.  Wish they would take a break on the GV-oriented stuff of late and bring at least the first generation models up to date.





The new A6M2 model looks amazing, however the Yak from 1999 doesn't:

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Looks ok to me, but then again having started with a green screen MS Flight Sim game way back when, I'm not real picky.  If I can look out the window of my bird and see correctly skinned 38s from my Squad, it doesn't get much better then that :)

Rise of Flight certainly is very pretty if you have a computer strong enough to run it...
