Some notes about this release.

1)  If you patch from Patch 91, you will end up with two desktop ICONS.  One is for the last Alpha version.  The new one is linked to the new Beta version.

2)  There will be an extra entry in the Windows Start programs panel showing "Aces High Beta Game".  The old "Aces High Alpha Game" link will still be there.

If you remove the Patch 91 Alpha, then install the full version of the Beta, everything will be normal.

Is it the same deal in terms of the files you can copy over from the current AH version to the Beta, as it was from AH(current) to the Alphas?  I'm referring to the view system/stick settings/etc files, and specifically JSM,KMP,HPS and the planes folders.

Looks good...


If you are a guy using the free flying mouse mode, pulling up the clipboard and losing control of your plane is a real PITA.  Please?  :D

Also, after exiting any arena, the clipboard is too small to see if trying to join another arena.  :cheers:

Updated from alpha just fine.  Tried all arenas, some multiple times, including a Player arena.  Got CTD only twice, both with AvA arena (once on exit and once when selecting a field).

Tower ambient sounds are much quieter at ports vs other fields (all maps).

Vehicles still bounce when speed=0, even with engine off (reported already I believe).

M3 engine sound does appear to be mono and not stereo (3D sound) as reported in alpha 91.  As a whole the experience of AH Beta does feel much more like you are in the driver's seat. 

F4U tail wheel has a wobble (off center) when rolling.

Thank you for all of the magnificent art work.   :aok  Please note that I would expect whines (and I may have one or two) but the overwhelming impression should be very positive, even if not as vocal as the nit picking things that we / I point out from time to time.

HTC staff, you ROCK!!!   :rock
