Very strange, seems that even though I quite the game using the kneepad the exe was stilling running on my machine.  I had to reboot to purge it.  Now works fine.

This is my first sortie into a "alpha" test! First thing I noticed was that I couldn't fly except in a mission! I should be able to go in and select an aircraft, take it up and see how it flys, looks, observe the ground details and etc......if I am doing something wrong, would you please point it out to me!

Earl,
You went into Beta Arena.  AI missions run in that arena.  Choose either Capture the Flag or Steel the Sheep arenas.  Capture the flag is the best for viewing the map, and Sheep is great fun and good for looking at plane or vehicle setups.

Welcome to testing, please fasten your seat belt.

Earl you can fly any arena map offline when missions are running online by selecting terrain before starting offline.

However, whenever it gets to 1.4/1.4 it says Failed- System busy, when I have nothing else running on my system.

You are going to see a lot of that until Windows 10 is out of the way.  After all, that one download has increased the traffic load on the Internet by 35%.  Things are going to be wonky (yes, that is a technical term ) until Windows 10 downloads slow.

Do not worry though, as Microsoft is doing regional downloads of the operating system, so if you are hit today, you will be safe tomorrow, and someone else will be taking it on the chin (another technical term).

It will all smooth over once more people have windows 10 and they steal your bandwith and wifi accounts to create a larger network to deliver their content.

There is that.

I'm glad I'm here to witness this.  I had no idea what really goes on to make a game like this happen.  It has also taught me exactly how little I know about computers and the language involved.  Thank you to everyone that is involved so fools like me can just sit quietly and wait for the new game to appear.

Okay I have to see this.  *downloading*

Maybe next week I'll go find me an el cheapo stick and see if I can fly without all the nausea and headaches now.  That would be nice.

Edit.

Looks pretty slick.  I'll have to get a LARGE refresher course on keyboard GV'ing till I get a stick.

Nice work HTC

I am having a problem with the frame rate. Even with graphics turned down as far as possible Im only getting 8-16. In fact, I am getting almost the same as when graphics are turned up to max. I have a pretty decent computer and I run AH 2 at max graphics with a frame rate in the 50s.
