Confessed cheaters in Aces High

How is it "cheating" to use a second computer/account to learn the location of a carrier?

thats the most rediculous question i've ever had the misfortune to encounter on this BBS.  

Um, how is it cheating to rig a lottery draw, how is it cheating to use a Q&A sheet in an exam? Doh

Q) Why has HT implemented a 12 hour time limit on switching country's

A) To prevent players switching sides to spy.

If your circumventing this safeguard without the permission of other players and HTC, then you are cheating ie. Gaining a benefit through deception.

If a player is passing information ie the location of a CV to another country without permission from their countrymen, then they are cheating.  Ie Gaining a benefit through deception.  What benefit? They are satisfying their ideals / rightiousness without regard for any of their fellow countrymens view or opinions.  This is selfish.

[DanielMcIntyre]

one more question:

Why if you feel you are right by passing information to another country, don't you do it on open channel?

Why do it secretly?

[Naso]

Knights dont cheat.

I consider your attitude to be beneath notice. Everything you post of this nature will be ignored. It has no value, adds no benefit, and only serves to shed light on your true nature.

You AK's are disgusting. You Deja, are the most disgusting of the lot. You bore me with your predictable behaviour.

ooh!  ooh!  Voss, do me next!!

Please... We're trying to discuss some deep philosophical views on morailty in a video game reality.  Personally, I'd appreciate it if these fluff attacks on people you probably don't even know wouldn't crowd actual opinions.

Thanks Jarbo, for adding something decent to the thread.

I'd just like to say I like Jell-O. A lot.

 And here I thought I was the only one willing to admit I enjoy those shows too!

What?  Am I being left out of all this nastiness?

Damn... If I knew how to cheat and wasn't so lazy I could be in this thread.

I call it cheating... simply a fact.  If you disclose information to the enemy then how can it not be seen as something else?  I won't lose any sleep if I can't find an enemy CV or we lose ours, but if I know someone has been cheating just so that they can 'win' then I think that's really sad.  Any respect I'll have for them will simply be lost.

Additionally, although I've never 'hidden' a CV, wouldn't you say that hiding is another form of camoflage?  If losing it means you lose the 'war' then hiding it is defending your country is it not?  Some of the arguments above saying it isn't cheating is utter BS.  I'm sure if that happened in Hostile Shores they'd be some hell to pay (disclosing information).  

Either way, I couldn't really care less, make it visible after the port is captured.

I mentioned in another thread about recon aircraft able to pinpoint CV locations either by marking it on the map or deploying a bhoy which lasts for an hour.  This will only mark the last known location.

1997 will be THE year of the flight simulation, and the Internet is one of
the main vehicles that will make this true. There are TWO incredible pieces
of simulation in the works for all those WB and AW fans, and for others who
have avoided that particular pursuit because "suspension of disbelief" in
the form of great graphics had not yet arrived. TAS is one, and Confirmed
Kill by Eidos International will be the other....

Pro-Line Software is preparing to introduce its first multi-player air sim
for the internet: Tactical Aero Squadron. The ßeta version of their Battle
of Britain module will be available for download soon. Tactical Aero
Squadron will encompass the entire European Theater of Operations from the
B.O.B. to Berlin - 1945. They has photo-realism and flight so real you'll
puke!


Pro-Line is headed by Paul "Voss" Hinds. Paul is a former USAF F16 Viper
pilot who also happens to own and fly his own P-51 Mustang! It also happens
that he has flown a Spitfire and the only flying Me-109 in the world.


Ah-hem! Yes, you got that right, there is NO ONE better qualified to develop
a new internet based multi-player WWII Battle of Britian scenario. It also
helps that since his stint in the USAF, Paul has acquired a couple of
PhDs...


Pro Line is based in Austin, Texas. Paul "Voss" Hinds is the main programmer
for TAS and the driving force behind the project (along with co-developer
Michael "Amok" Hobuss). Paul and Michael seem determined to put together the
ultimate WarBirds and Air Warrior killer, and they are well poised to
succeed! They intend to feature the entire European W.W.II conflict, from
the Battle of Britain to Berlin '45.


As you will see by the screen shots, photo-realism is close to the truth!
According to Pro-Line, there will be an intense and target rich environment,
including trains to shoot at, German rockets to deal with, and fields being
captured. Other features include the most realistic flight models yet, voice
communications (hardware dependent), editable artwork for Aces, and gun
cameras with editable viewpoints. Theres more, but some features remain
under wraps til the release.


TAS will evolve from the BOB into TAS - FEW, meaning "Full European War,"
which will require MULTIPLE CD-ROMs and which only registered users will
acquire. TAS- FEW will cover an enormous area, comprising all of Europe and
North Africa. Pro-Line will allow hundreds of players into this huge world,
with a greater variety of aircraft than either Warbirds, AW or CK.


Eventually Pro Line will offer BOB as a limited ten thousand sq. mile arena,
giving W.W.II fans a chance to get into the world of TAS, but BOB will then
be available as freeware. At this point entry into the TAS arena will be on
a fee basis.


TAS will achieve a number of firsts in its foray into simming. Simultaneous
voice ability will be present, as well as text macros for sending messages.
The realism of the cockpit environment, with the pilot needing to pay
attention to carb heat, fuel mixtures, etc. will also be unprecedented.
Allied radar will be modelled. Attention to detail in the dynamic
environment will include the need to fly recon patrols, effect of fog on
radar, modelling of ground damage with realistic repair and replacement
times, and other details that remain secret.


In AW and WB The "revolving credit" of continual life renewal has its
disadvantages. Ever kill enemy planes one by one, only to have a constant
wave of the same pilots engage you until finally succumbing? TAS will change
that by virtue of a "death penalty." Fail to bring your body back (death or
capture), and pilots will be flying a cargo plane or rear escort duty for a
day until being "restored". The penalties are not final as yet and like the
entire project will evolve through the testing phase. Any personal aircraft
adornment will also have to be earned after death.


As for hardware requirements, the engine is optimized to allow a fast 486 to
join the fray, though not at high resolutions. 3d hardware will also be
supported, allowing high resolutions with high color depth AND fast frame
rates.

Wow! That sounds like a great game.

When's it coming out Voss? Perhaps you could entrigue us with some screenshots!

BUt reaLLy, Stuff like tHat wIll make iT an interesting game. Especially since you've flown both a Spitfire and the only remaining 109 in the world and also own your own P51!!!

Can we get a picture of you in your P51?? I know you've got one lying around, I've seen it before.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get some money from people so they can beta test my nonexistant software.

What an embarrassment...to take a persons opinion of an aspect of gameplay and turn it into something this ugly and personal is a shame.

So this is what we show the new players that have made the move to our sim?

Pathetic.


 

[AKSWulfe]

Opinion or slander Rude?

There's quite a difference, and in this case it's the latter.

This is one of those threads that makes me wish the enemy had name tags.

Now there's an idea for perk points. Say 20 points to identify one enemy player for one flight. Or maybe identify everyone for 10 minutes.

[mjolnir]

Leave your noodle envy out of this, Deja. You and all your AK worthless squadmates can try to turn this thread into anything they want. The fact of the matter is it was an AK that used the CHEAT'ers information, and you are engaging in personal attacks to cover for him.

You AK's are disgusting. You Deja, are the most disgusting of the lot. You bore me with your predictable behaviour.  

Ummm......Voss, aren't you doing precisely what you're accusing Deja of doing?  Because this sounds to me like a personal attack if I ever heard one, and really has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.  Quit trying to act like you're taking the higher moral road here, if this is what it consists of.
