That would mean porting the AH game to Android/IOS...  :O

As an alternative with side benefits...

Export Tacview data.

Tacview is going to be supporting IOS that can be your viewer and having AH data in Tacview as a side benefit (better analysis tools):

[Edit: and you're not getting that either. ;)]

the last time i called the HTC office, he said he was working on AH as a phone app/game.

He was probably just BS'in but that would beinteresting.

I love how you call people names.

I love even more how you alter a bulletin board name into something else, just like Trump does with people he doesn't like.

Makes feel special.

get hitech to ditch the propiertary format, and just output ACMI, and we can run ah replays in browers.

Is this really possible? The propiertary format is harder to remove than you think.

I know this is an old post but this just isn't possible. The ahf file isn't simply a video. It's a capture of the game engine stream as it happened. When you open it with the film viewer it's not playing a video, it's actually re-running the game using that captured stream of data. So, you'd need the entire game to be ported to mobile in order to do this. I'd say that's in snowball's chance territory.
