Before 5 years is up you would have to spend that amount again. And the advertising/marketing cost estimate is about 3 mil to low. Now go tell any venture capitalist that we may just break even in 5 years.

Shark tank here we come!  :rofl
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

<blank stare>

I can do those FX,  but dunno if game/3d engine accepts it.

I meant format in like short cool looking clips of action and not monotonous minutes of flying or driving to the action..
That action viewed in various angles and perspectives at the highest resolution with zoomed in shots to show off the skinners amazing work..
And put to music if there isn't any development news to accompany the video..

I got the answer...

Like many streaming services today maybe an option for free play if you sit through 2 minutes of commercials between sorties...
 
Any tower sitters are thrown into commercials after sitting more than 60 seconds..might help that problem too lol

You're welcome  :cheers:

What would it cost, in tangible Cragmore-units to get the furball Lake bases A1, A2 & A3 opened again? Asking for a friend.

 The new radar and proximity info makes SA allot easier than it used to be. I think that makes the game easier to understand. The 2d clipboard makes the situation easier to model in ones mind than 3d data that is in reality in 2d anyway with numbers and therefore compensates for the 2d world.

 Do people still volunteer to train noobs. I have zero natural talent for this but always thought it was great anyway.

I was trained by Shatzi, Spatular, Floatsup, Bruv, Pervert, Klingan, Nrshida among others in the DA.

I did fly for the first 6 months on my own though but once I got in training eventually I won a couple of rounds of koth and had a 5:1 KD. I was never a great stick just about made average but all that help was available so I could be useful to my country and squad.

I will  :bhead. SO I think we should ALL try to bring someone on board and train them or bring someone back if we can and generally do everything to let people know AH exists.

Just want to say at beyond Icon range I notice AH dot recognition is waaaay better than DCS if you are looking  :aok Furthermore while allot of people cry about "its doing that when it should be doing this" 99% of the time that is them being a petulant A holeian. To me the model 99.99% corresponds to my conception of reality.

The game havent been updated in like six years, Why would anyone spend 15$ a month on a game that havent seen anything new in that period of time? if you want AH to be revived then you need a new game, a game this old cannot be revived just by tweaking some settings. And you need servers, having one single server, which leads to insane high ping for a lot of players doesnt work today.
