Will AH3 be getting any further updates?

Howdie y'all.

I've been in the community off and on since the Warbirds days!  Getting back in again recently. 

Are there any plans for updates to the game, graphics engine etc?  By far AH3 has the best mechanics and flight model out there.  It's just looking aged now and would be amazing to have graphics that match the fidelity of the game play / physics!

I doubt it man. Just have to enjoy it while it's still here. There are certainly things that need to be fixed overall, like matchplay, but probably not gonna happen.

Let’s give the man behind the curtain time to heal and feel 100%. I’m of the opinion he is still very involved behind that curtain.

Some of us still find the most enjoyment from AH than the prettier sim options out there today

Drop the $15 and make your own decision

I didn't know HT was ill.  Here's hoping he gets better soon!

@Eagler.....AH does everything better in terns of game play, mechanics, flight model etc.  I don't find the modern Sims much fun.  Locking on a target that you can't see isn't much fun at all.  I guess part of my question is because updating the game may make it more appealing to the market.  I remember playing Warbirds in the days of "Wild Bill" I think he was named?  And the iMagic split and AH was born.  I actually found a binder about 6 months ago with all of the info printed off about the planes back when it was on an external website and put together by an enthusiast.  I wish I hadn't disposed of it!  It was golden!

Just curious if you've tried the game with everything cranked up? It surely isn't Unreal 5 type graphics but the game can be quite pretty. I personally don't fly with reflections/shadows but when I turn them on in films it's always a pleasant surprise.

Although AH 3 is showing its age graphically, the gameplay makes up for it totally. What other game has a persistent lobby/map up for days at a time, with tanks, ships, fighters, bombers, etc.

AH2 was actually better than AH3.  Well, except for clouds.

Overall minus the graphics in AH3 I would agree AH2 > AH3

*Objectively better sound system allowing more historically accurate soundpacks, and more of them
*GV Icons made sense
*DA made sense
*When using mouse to control airplane the rudder wasn't linked to the the ailerons when taking off, which is bloody retarded "feature" in Aces High 3
*GVs could actually engage in longer range combat promoting great tank fights, now we have the same sets of random massive bushes covering the map
*No hiding in barns with a tank like a tard in AH2
*Easier to run on older hardware, not that AH3 is all that hard to run but its worth pointing out
*MORE PLAYERS! Not really Aces High 3's fault but when you look at the list above im sure more than a few players to these "upgrades" (read mucking up things that aren't broken)
