I can't answer that with certainty.  Let me check and get back to you.
if you can't answer that you have your graphics maxed out then it is not right for you to say the planes need tweaking. The planes that have been recently remodeled in the last yea and 1/2 have been incredible looking with graphics cranked up.

Wow, be a jerk about it.  :rolleyes:

This just points back to what others have said.  If my graphics are porked I sure had no idea until now.   Lack of help for new players abides.

And attitude problems from d-cks like you won't keep people around long.    :old:

I have every right to comment regardless.  My experience is a parallel to the larger base who install and fly without tweaking graphics, and it looks like a damned cartoon compared to other turnkey sims.

I grew up with Pong and Breakout.  We had an overlay for the B&W TV so the breakout bricks had color.  My first WWII sim was battlehawks 1942



AH looks fine to me :)

Ignorance is not an excuse kettle. I spent a week reading plane reviews, game courtesy to setting up graphics and keyboard mapping before logging in AH since it was my first PC game. Complaining about something without even knowing your settings is asinine.

I grew up before Pong.  AH is dated and kids playing COD and War Thunder think this looks like Pong.  They aren't biting.

YMMV.

Not half as asinine as your attitude.


First PC game.  That explains it.   :rolleyes:  2013 now, Beavis, not 1990.  Grab their attention by default, don't make them hunt for it.  With lower powered base units lower graphics and resolution levels as default were necessary.  Not now.

Are you done editing your reply? so complain first and then make an bellybutton of yourself by not knowing what your settings are and step three is come off as the person you described above. I hope Mr. Vraciu has someone better than you trying to get the award for him.

You started it by being a blatant dipwad jerk.    I was asked a question. I said I would check.  You attacked. Cheap shot artist extraordinaire.   And yet, it changes not the original problem.  My settings, whatever they are (presumably default) yield 1993 graphics 20 years later.   And we wonder why WB is dead and AH circling the bowl. Lol. *eye-roll*

Alex will get screwed.  The Navy doesn't care.  I am not even a factor, particularly in regard to my posts on a message board for gamers.

I saw this already.  Terrain okay fine but how about airplanes?
What exactly do you want to see improved?  Anyone can say make them less cartoony, but what does that mean?  Subjective is rather vague.  Can you be specific?  The HTC guys read the forums and are always looking for relevant contributions.  Putting a date on a graphic engine isn't a solution, there are some fantastic older systems and some horrific new ones. 
Better shadows?  Better reflections?  Be specific and some of us in here can probably point you to a link that has addressed or is addressing the subject.  Like, for example, I addressed a comment you had on graphics, I pointed to the most recent graphics discussion that was related to terrain.  It wasn't what you meant.  It's not my fault I guessed wrong :)  Be specific, guessing and trying to figure out what you meant seems like a dead end to me.
In the mean time, I think I may have wasted my time trying to be helpful, I see where this one's heading already.
Have a nice day.

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

I max out the graphics and they are fine.  It's not Clifts of Dover, Rise of Flight or DCS good...but they are not terrible!  Get over it dude...it's the gameplay that's important!
