Clue that AH II is close:

They said it would be out Q3 (July-Sep).

They never said it would be out for Q3, they only said that's the time line they're shooting for.

Aces High II will be released in two weeks. This will be a new glorious benchmark for the MMOG genre.

ROFL

...that's comedy.

I don't think it is close, but I believe HTC will spill the beans at this year's con...

Also, Aces High II may very well have ground troops in it. Not only did hitech mention that he would someday implement them ,but last janurary he quoted that he wanted to make aces high II "appeal to a wider audience." this probably doesn't mean anything, but you never know....

Ok, then what we need urgently is AH 1.5

Yes infact I do. AH is way behind current flightsims in 3d model complexity. I for one can't understand why AH models the same plane for the interior cockpit view AND the external view. If you fly really close to another plane you can see the instruments for cod's sake. A high resolution model for the cockpit view and a low resolution (like we have now) for the exterior views would let the simulation be much more imersive and allow a reasonably low poly count because it's only your plane that is complex. This is how every sim I know does it ... except AH.

Poly count is decreased with increasing distance, a technology that was invented many years ago.

For the plane I'm sitting in I don't need a more complex model. A more complex model of the targets would be nice but that isn't limited by the model. Cockpits for other planes are not fully drawn anyway.

AH2 is vapourware!

Look at my sources!
