How playing Aces High is after 10 years of absence
« on: January 07, 2013, 03:53:40 PM »
I must say i'm getting the hang of it :)
Had some terrible mistakes and already some awesome fights, escapes and the frustrations of fail.
It was like yesterday.
I programmed my weapons change button on the joystick but suddenly found my self pushing the backspace button..uh ..ooh i didn't forget that after all.
My trial period is almost over and sure am going to conscription. I like the gameplay there is nothing else like this.

Impossible.  :old:

I'm now in my 8th year of getting told that gameplay "totally went downhill" and "is as bad as never before".   :noid

Thanx i flew with a P38 group Blixen,Laser,Tac and more i forgot.

I flew some time il2 off course also with the P38 but here in AH I'm so much better in it :)

There is allot to discover yet but I'm mostly glad that i get the feeling back in the P38 which i learned in this game many years ago.

I also see the the late war arena is still the main arena and the others are still quite.

The general channel can now only be used as <S> channel it was always amusing me in the past but I guess its better this way

Tune 200 if you're looking for similar usage to what general was.  It was probably changed so people could turn it off if they liked.

Welcome back!

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

There's an idea, Htc should conscript more customers. So much easier than advertising.

That's cuz the 38 in Il2 sucked from what I remember. Had 3 flap settings.   :rolleyes:

138 is the SAPP P38 drivers channel Bug.  You can usually find the 38 drivers on there if you are looking for a wingman.

Welcome back Bug, from the 94th! 

We've been bitten by the Twin Tail bug ourselves.  If you feel like flying the 38's still, and want to fly with others, feel free to stop by Rooks channel 194.   :salute

Welcome back Bug322. Has it really been that long? I still remember some good P47 on P38 engagements we had. Seems like it was last week.

i guess not really 10 years but close i dont know exactly when i started in AH1.
First there was a very hard flight model.
There where times Hitech announced 2 P47 in the arena with the Brazilian skin those where magic days.
I might have stopped when my oldest daughter was 2 years old so it could be 8 years.

Welcome back!

You'll find that everything from how planes handle all the way down to gunnery itself has changed. Over the years the airflow code was revamped, as well as how bullets hit planes (not sure of the exact details on that one, just the noticable results -- it felt like there was a "hit bubble" before, and now it doesn't, so you have to get in closer to get hits and land kills).

It really is one of the best games available, even after more than a decade! It's amazing to think of it in that respect.
