The ULTIMATE feature for "AH2"
« on: January 24, 2003, 08:11:29 PM »
"AH2" could go to places where AH can only dream of.  Yes, there's a potential feature that would make it the "promised land" of online gaming, a game so perfect that even I Would be happy with it!


What is that special ULTIMATE feature?



Allow special characters (like _'s) in the game ID's!!!!!!!!!!

I have enough trouble dealing with 9826 and 910983481
The last thing I need is somone named ___e__3___3
just how long will it take for me to figure out how to squelch that?


I think that perhaps SPACES should be allowed for the sake of making IDs make sence...."G Smith" for example or "DUMB LUK" (no more than 1 in each CPID...sorry jab) but never never ever more than 1 and no underlines...they are just TOO hard to distinguish:

J A B
J_A B
J_A_B
J A_B



I am all for each squad having a 3 character ID addition:

ALF would become   ALF or ALF or ALF

This would make it easier to see whos in what squad, and make the squads somewhat more meaningful.  I also still want color bars on airplane wings to distinguish squads
:D

Actually, this may turn out to be a good thread, yet.

(* Hijack in Progress *)

 If there was this one, one single feature that you can have in AHII, what would it be? Regardless of any 'development time' 'logic' 'realism' or whatever?

 .......


 Mine would be.. um...

 visually represented and calculated DM? ... either that, or super realistic looking explosions and hit sprites...

I would LOVE to see a FPS section of the game. If this game had a FPS section that would determine base captures.... I would pay double the cost a month and play nothing but Aces High II. But in the realm of Air Sim guys I doubt this will happen. Battlefield 1942 doesn't cut the mustard... It is for kiddies. Wanna see something for more serious minded people

squelch that lasted till you wanted it to stop, not when you log would be a great addition.

Fix the GV damage... lethal rocks, killer trees and explosive debris around buildings suck all the fun out of driving a Tiger.

I'd like to see all county related markings on all aircraft removed and replaced by bish/knit/rook markings. Maybe add some colored wingtips, not for squads but for countries.

Then completely disable the icons and range counters.

Todays computers with Gforce3 and up can run at 1600x1200 without any trouble. With NO new eye candy the time is near that everybody can run at that resolution, and we can get rid of the gamey icons.
