You'll not accomplish anything this way Nath. My advice is to wait until HiTech is on-line and assault him with a barrage of insults, accusations and total lack of respect. Then and only then can we enjoy the relative peace that the last 6 months has brought us.

I remember several years ago living in an older house with
floor-to-ceiling high windows on the backside.

One bright shiney Saturday morning I was eating froot loops and watching scooby-doo on the tube when there was heard a tremendous bang and a rattle from the center window. I only saw a brief form just prior to the crash but had no ID on the con.

I went outside and looked around for a football or some other object laying on the ground but none was to be found. I returned inside and carried on with the froot loops.

Later in the evening, when the sun was setting and casting a bright glow on the window I suddenly realized what had made the crashing sound earlier that morning.

Brought out by the gleaming sunlight was the perfect image of a pigeon spread eagle on the window. I guess it was the bird dander imparted by the kinetic energy released on impact. Hell, I was laughing so hard it hurt. I could actually make out the indiviual feather vanes from the larger wingtiup feathers.

Never found the pigeon though.........

Must have been the fruit loops that attracted him?

Actually, the way that house was laid out the sun was shining through the house towards the bird. I think it was looking for a shortcut through the house instead of over it. I left that pigeon print on the window. I told my wife that it was natural art.
It really was.

I enjoy this game just how it is !!! you whinners want super photo graphics go play fighter ace 3 (u need a sub by the way), bring ur super 2.2 ghz pc with the dual processer monster video card and remember to keep whinning cause ur fps is still in the gutter .(their server cant even keep up w 50-100 players in the game)

AH plays great on bolth my sloooooooow pc's pent3 411ghz gf2 200 w/ 192 ram, and on my ancient cackling 486, intel 810 vd w/ 256 ram on a dsl connection,

silly whinners that want to wreck this game w/ photo graphic's tons of fog and give it really bad fps . go fly the 260.0 mb monster FA3 and then whine . or go get a connection (but u need that too or u wouldnt be whinning )

and this is just my two cents worth on the super sims that are out , I'm glad that HTC keeps the average pc user in mind !

Muhahahahaa

So we can get a shot at some Hellfire Brew for the upcoming con?

- Tronspir

Unfortunately, tronspir, there won't be any brew this con. I'm too devastated by this whole train grade thing. And if that wasn't enough, now I find the damage model is unrealistic and the planes are represented by something called "polys" instead of being actual planes I was piloting remotely.

After I finished weeping and gnashing my teeth from reading this, I called my friends and relatives - told them I was quitting my job and selling all my material possessions. It's time I found out what is really real. Walk the earth. Visit India.

Because if AH isn't real then we're all just playing at life and not really accomplishing anything for the populations of Rookland, Knightland, and Bishopia. Like it was a game or something . . .

Oh. Whups! Never mind then.

PS Superfly - sell me back my computer and CH setup. I still have the $25 you gave me.

Complainers should try warbirds, then come back and be happy.

Now in Skuzzy’s post he is basically saying that you people who refuse to upgrade to GeForce 4 and 2.2Ghz machines are holding this sim back! HTC could do so much more if they didn’t have to deal with “slow machine users” (refereed to SMU’s) You SMUs are the problem not HTC!

Oz, I don't think Skuzzy was saying that at all. He was just explaining why HTC doesn't use more polygons in their art. I didn't take his post to be a slam on people with slower systems.

Thanks for the info Skuzzy. I had no idea about how that stuff....I just hit the "online" button and forget about everything else.

To the guys complaining about the long range bullets. I see many posts about LA7's and other fast late war planes. If you have to be under 400 to hit then the arena will be nothing but FAST late war planes that have a chance of catching something. Do you want an arena full of D9's, LA7's and P51's?

IMHO the only thing wrong with this game is a small minority of people who want to make AH so real and HARD that I can't play it due to framerates or because I am simply not good enough to get kills.
