Rivets ... really?

Speaking of rivets, who else remembers AH's "Loose Rivets"? 

I do!

They were dang funny, because they were so true...

Fm2 and p38 needs a serious update. Attracting new players on steam?? They are gonna try the 38 since it looks badass.

Well, the FM2 is in the updating process now according to the preview on the twitter page.

The P-38 is not an AH1 model, so I imagine it won't be updated before all the older AH1 models are updated first.

I've seen the new P-38J model - it's on the Occulus storefront page for AH.  Hitech confirmed it is the new P-38.  So its out there.  No word on the L or G though.

The external shape is done, but we don't know about the cockpit.

I can't imagine HTC taking the time to finish a 3rd generation P-38 before finishing the updates on the older AH1 stuff first.

They might be sitting on a bunch of new external models and releasing them as the cockpits are done. The 109 on the AH3 splash screen is not the current 3D model either, but I'm not thinking that we'll see an updated 109 until after all the AH1 models are gone.

I do, they are what inspired me to do my cartoons. I may even have them on an old drive some place.

Oh Horble,

You completely missed my point.
Once I find the indicators, I prefer looking outside.
I'll trade pretty cockpits for smooth play any day.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldn't the eye candy rendering only affect the PC as you are looking at it ?  Looking at the hi res rendered cockpit and rivets etc would hit your gpu harder than looking out the windscreen at a fairly uncluttered sky ? If true just never look at anything detailed and you shouldn't take a graphics hit.  I get a much lower frame rate looking in a GV commander view driving thru a dense forest as compared to looking thru the gunsight.

Oh yeah you might be right, I just assumed if I was seeing the external shape that all the pieces like cockpit model and art would be done.  But that might not be necessarily so.   I could see the argument for redoing a new '38 if they expect many new people from Steam - because lots are attracted to the cool shape, multi-role, and easy to fly torqueless FM.   Still, I hope they redo the A-20 and Ju88 soon.  And then they still have the Japanese carrier bombers to fix.

I had stutters that started up after one of the updates. I was using DX11. I was told to try DX9. When I went to DX9 the stutters were gone. Very smooth.

Guys this gumbo of stutters post by Skuzzy in the Technical Support forum will give you everything to date. Unless you are using VR, for most everyone else, DX9 has no stutters. You have to use DX11 to run VR.
