I will download and test tonight. Glad the progress is being made. I hope my VOX problem goes away too. Looking forward to the finished game, looking really nice Skuzzy!  :rock

Greebo's CraterMA:

Noticed a continuous intermittent dark flashing. In the air I could see that the shadows of the clouds jumped forth and back. It happened every second or two like flash... flash... flash-flash... ... flash... Very epileptic, I'd say. This was at

-235255,993,143452,0.2,5.3,-0.7
craterma
FOV = 50.5


Also, the Mollen Insulation Co. still hasn't learned how to spell Liaison.

Another thing I noticed in the tower was that the desk doesn't like to be inspected too close, see image.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

Just downloaded Beta 16 patch; computer froze when I tried to access.  Tried multiple times with same result.  Deleted Beta from system, re-downloaded and installed with same result.  I don't play much, but am trying to keep up with you're progress.  Just  thought you'd like to know.

4096 Mode
GTX 760 2G

Detail slider - On my gunnery terrain with a 4000ft rock sugar loaf next to the airfield, heavy trees and town, and additional rock cliffs near by. Normal FPS on the runway 40-42. Some places in the air 30's, other wise 50's-60. Pulling detail slider full left, gains back 10 fps. Full right loss of 10 fps in some places and capped 30-40's.

Waffle - Noticed the new shore battery object..... :O

Gunsights - The Me410 pilot position is not the primary gunsight affected by moving the alpha slider while in flight. It is the gunsight corresponding to using the "3" key to jump to that rear position. When adjusting the "3" position gunsight, all other gunsights stay how they were adjusting while in the tower. Gunsight selection app shows only a single position to select gunsights for labeled Pilot.

Note about gunsights: If the mask on the reflector plate is too dark, up your gamma by 1-4 which will clear it up appreciably and make 12 noon more realistic.

Terrain Editor - Map bmp made previous to beta16 discriminated between elevations above sea level and those below sea level. Beta16 map bmp no longer discriminates in the same manner. I have attached a pre beta16 map and a beta 16 map.

Clipboard - It took a number of times resizing the clipboard while in flight for the size change to stay persistent in the clip board size configuration file. The new movable displays work as intended.

Bomber engine sounds keep dropping in and out  just after takeoff.  Tried Ju88, B17 and Boston.  Fighters that I have tested so far including P-38 does not have this problem.

When in the f4u4, looking at the e6b, turning wep on and off, it looks like the time remaining is backwards. With wep on, I was getting a higher time remaining than with wep off.

That's is correct. It's gets better mileage due to its type of wep. Happens in ah2.
I think it's the only plane in Ah that wep doesn't kill gas lol

Anybody else able to use the analog "Gun Sight" in tanks?  It works for me in AH2 but not in Beta.

Are you guys deleting and reloading the whole game after each update?

My speeds are so low, I leave it and come back. When I get back, it's asking me to download the next patch, 8, 9, 10. At this rate it will taker me most of the day.

Will I lose all ah3 settings if I just delete ah3 and then load the new version?

I thought I remembered a hitech person was saying the settings should  not be copied over. Or was that ah2 to 3?

Thanks

Me too.  First time ever for this type of crash.  It blows up on the off-line path as well.

Clipboard has moved to the center of the screen in the tower and hangar and can't be moved.

White convergence lines still barely visible with shadows off.

And please explain what the Fixed Plane Depth and Fixed Plane Size do.   Must have been sleeping during the lesson.





When taking a screenshot in AH3, my frame rate doesn't drop as it does in AH2.  That's nice, but there is no way of knowing if a picture was taken.   One of the screenshots I tried to take wasn't in the folder when I checked.

Can you put a "Screenshot taken" message in the text buffer after a successful attempt?

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
