Just out of curiosity, I havent played WB in a while and find the numbers quoted to be very alarming.   Is it true that WB arenas have only about 100 people in them normally?

Dunno about the numbers. I'd be interested if their company sounded like pro's. They don't.

This Dan “Hotseat”, is kind of embarrassing.

Has he no concept for presenting a major international software product for his company without getting all user-level hoopty defensive and competative?

A crack here and there is fine, but this guy stands out all the time.

If you have no respect for your company, have some respect for yourself Hotseat. Yikes.

 I have no idea, the last time I played WB was last august.  I played for a week of their free month or what ever it was.  I enjoyed the community as always, but I couldn't help but laugh at the state of WB3, after 2 years of development.  Most of what I saw had to be WB1.xx/2.xx code that HT did :)  all the dot commands were the same, the UI was basicly the same.  Planes and plane loadouts.  The worst thing though was the stupid damage model and the mushbirds effect they added when the playnet dudes quit in 99.  Why anybody plays that game is beyond me.  I love the denial they all display, it cracks me up.

HT is a programming God. That's about it.

My aspirations is to become half of the programmer  he is - if I become that good, I'd feel damned fine.

So HT, how about telling us how you started with all this stuff?

And Pyro, and Yankee, Ronni, the lot? Would be nice to have a more in depth look at yer background.

Am working on Aces Low - a superb 3d flight sim. Just did it in java - with the basic vector math and matrices for graphics engine. It's amazing. I get around 10 fps when I'm 'flying' in the town I've created. Net code unfortunately is a bit hosed. Heh.

Converting it to C++ now, just straight off, for the fun of it. One day, AL will be a serious competitor to AH. :D

====
Probably a reference to "Freehost"...a version of WBs 2.xx reverse engineered by a russian and made available for free net play across the globe (I dont think any of those guys are subsribers of HTCs game).

Are there any russian players in AH?

Think I've met two russian players in AH yeager, can't remember their names though and I don't think they still fly. However, why on earth shouldn't HTC let them in just because the put up a free host of of WB, and then updated the game it self more frequently then WB staff did?

oh, ops, went away from the topic there...

Hblair talked up AH while it was still in Beta, me and Milenko gave it a try, but I wasn't convinced, I was having a lot of fun in the WB Challenge Ladder.
Then 2.77 came out, and the damage model went to hell, people asked HS what was up and could it be fixed.  His reponse, to paraphrase him, was "we know about it, we don't care, and don't have any plans to ever fix it".
Then when people asked the reason for the terse replies and snide comments, he said he didn't have to be nice, that wasn't what he was paid for.  Hhhmm.....moderator of that forum doesn't give a toejam about the customers.........
HELLO AH!
Got me a better vid card, said goodbye to WannaBe 2.77 and haven't regretted it.
I've missed some of the guys over there, they ain't all bad, ==sd== is a heckuva trainer and all around good guy.
But when I downloaded WannaBe 3 for kicks, just to see what they had done with it, hell, two years after I left it is still not even close to the AH Beta I came to.
Now they've raised prices again......:rolleyes:
I hope iEn keeps that sim going, competition is good, and each time AH pulls further ahead of the WannaBe sim, it show how utterly stupid iEn was to let HiTech and the crew get away from them.

HTC!
