Thinking about coming back, what changed?

[Maniac]

Hey all.

Thinking about coming back to the Flight Sim scene, what have changed in AH the past 10 years? did they dumb the flight models down to fit a wider auidence or is it still the same?

Also, are there an AH 3 in the works, with updated graphics engine?

P.S <S> to all who remember me  

Edit : And by the way, what controllers are the ones to get now a days? Hows the Saitek X52 Pro? + the Saitek Pro Pedals?

all kidding aside.. just jump in and see if its for you again! Remember you can just make a temporary account and if its what your looking for then make it stick!

Welcome back man. Graphics are way better, but on the down side they greatly lowered their standards for wh0 they would let into the Trainer Corps.

S!

Maniac, there is really no need for a different engine. Our current engine can supports any desired modern effects. The last large changes to it were a complete rewrite of the terrain & water system, along with an addition to support shaders, and vertex blending.

The last minor change was the addition of environment mapping.

But you may simply be asking for a specific piece to be changed, what do you think needs to be improved?

I know one thing Im thrilled to see is the Hurri redone and the addition of the Sea Hurri. The aircraft looks fabulous. Did you redo my Hellcat too?

Hey HiTech.

Well, i think the last time i tried the game was something like 10 years ago, i was not aware that the game had graphics updates since then, i guess i just have to get up into the air before i can pass judgment so to speak.

The X-52 pro is a very good stick.  I used one for nearly 3 years and I really liked it.  I cant speak for the pedals since I went to CH for those.  I have heard rumors that the Saitek brand is cheaply made and that they break easily.

Now i just need the rudders...
