FPS 300
Looks fantastic.. :D
If my comp' runs approx 55-60 now, with most stuff turned down.
What can I expect with the new edition.
Can't wait to try it all out, but got me worried I can't run it.
It is a milestone as it was accomplished with the new terrain editor, which is part of our massive update to the game and its support utilities.

Those fart posting in the thread don't seem to realize it's a work in progress. I guess I missed out on the 'snap your fingers where's my steak' gen (thankfully). You guys apparently confuse the dev team size of the games you parade for comparison and Aces High.

Fugi, you know the critics that can't bring themselves to at least say, 'You're making progress' instead of (basically) 'Boo! Looks like poo!' Were part of the crowd beating the drum for this change . My parents raised me better. :P

I'm not part of your hypocrit crowd. You still think ot looks bad, but are telling otherwise, just like your parents raised you.
tbese screenshots are much too early. hopefully.
Threads like these show a number of things. Mainly, the immaturity of some people and the short sightedness of others. These threads also show who people thinks they need to display their e-member because they lack much to hold on to in real life.Telling the community members to "go make a better game" is about the most asinine thing you can say. Everyone here pays 15$ a month for this game. Me, I have been here 6+ years. That's 1080$ Of my money I have given to HTC. "Give HTC a chance to upgrade their sim/game" well it's been a helluva long time before we have seen any major terrain changes. With this day in age, I would hope they have alot more to do with these graphics.
Some of you really need to find better ways of expressing your opinion. By the way... I invite everyone who needs the eye candy to complete their experience to develop a superior product. Seriously. Go on. Get started. Otherwise, in the short term at least give HTC a chance to upgrade their sim/game as they see fit and enjoy what is offered, or don't pay to play. It is that simple.

No so much .... by comparison. :D
He did say it was the first pass. Also it seems to be an automated system HTC will use to move current maps to the new system, and as such might need a quick debug/tweak pass by one of the HTC crew to clear up issues.
'It's just a first pass, you can't judge is silly. When someone throws a ball you can fairly accurately predict where it's going to fall a few seconds after it leaves the hand. Most of the pictures and videos posted so far fail to impress me. Sure throw a 'ho ahhh' sunset to make it look better, but it's still has the same feel as the current engine. I'd have hoped HTC to bite the bullet and start something from scratch.
It's an upgrade indeed that requires a lot of work Im sure, and I'll keep enjoying AH, but 'the new' feels like 'putting a newer stereo system and chrome rims on an old tired car'. :old:

It appears even when your hope is granted you are not happy, because it has been 100 % started from scratch.(https://i.imgflip.com/clr5h.jpg)

You might have started with a blank piece of paper, but your painting looks like a more polished remake of your previous one. I am happy HT, I am just not impressed. I also do realize HTC is doing everything in house and cannot hire a whole $$$ team of latest savvy graphic/coder.
Mister Fork :lol I know I know, I'm a nazi for speaking my mind against HTC's hard work ... sorry :uhoh but at least we have the freedom to do so in here. I always respected HTC's thick skin as whatever they do, someone is bound to dislike it:old:
MrRiplEy[H] , that's very understandable, and evident by judging on how many are truly amazed by the current state of the previews. Fine with me.

:headscratch: You mean like DCS:
(http:// http://i.imgur.com/Ch9orjM.jpg)
Im not too much of a fan of DCS graphics, everything is so 'grey'. I like Flaming Cliffs a lot as far as graphics:
http://youtu.be/hcHFQ9dSb1I (http://youtu.be/hcHFQ9dSb1I )
I like their lighting effect, I like the terrain features look realistic for Europe especially the trees. They are clamped together and border fields, roads and rivers and are not scatered randomly into the countryside. You posted a screenshot of a town that looked promizing but subsequent pics/vids showed the tree 'randomly scattered' again.
I definitely love the detail of the cockpits that lack in Aces High but I understand it's the price we have to pay for being able to download the game online. I love tbe little things like the scratches on the glass that show online as they get lit up, the way the thickness of the glass shows like on the spit side window, the cockpit glass getting ice covered when flying in the clouds, the contrails at high altitude, the water has actual dissipating white crest giving that wave feeling.
Anyway, you asked I answered. The new water you created looked miles ahead of what we have now, I was expecting the new terrain to have the same leapfrog WOW factor but I haven't seen it yet. The terrain reflects in the building windows, great I guess but I still dont't feel like Im flying over a credible terrain of any part of the world. Im not 'flaming' to be a trouble maker, I'm contributing to comenting on the progress shots. My opinion is my own perception and doesn't mean it's accurate.

No where in this post does it state in any way what you do not like. Or rather "does not impress".
All it does is attempt to flame HTC.
Now I would like you to show me any other shots from other games that show 3d mountains 20 miles in the distance with haze layering in the atmosphere.
HiTech
.... we have not posted any shots of the changes we have made to cockpits.
HiTech
Link is bad and shows 404
Is that orange mist supposed to look realistic?I think is supposed to have the look of a sun rising through it.... :confused:
Bustr you are quite an instigator with those over violent references. I know that in America everybody is supposed to get a trophy.
HTC presented something; I said 'MEH'. HT got offended and said 'show me this and how come?'. I showed that and said because, he said 'I am COAD'. I thought it would be an opportunity to discuss what he was doing/could do or him to understand what I liked but instead it started to turned sour.
You have it all twisted with what I expect, and me paying is an non issue. I enjoy the game for what it is. The fun I have mingling with other humans, friends or foe and the context provided by HT overcomes the dated graphics, primitive damage model and few FM anomalies. You are right that for me, the perfect game would be IL2 Cliffs of Dover graphics overlayed over every else Aces High, because in IL2 COD I have the feeling of being into an actual cockpit flying above an actual piece of real estate ... but I miss everything else Aces High.
HTC is working hard in improving the game for his personal reasons that I'm not pretending to know. He is posting progress pictures and we comment on them. Since we all have different standards, HTC receives various levels of reactions from Ohh Ahhh to booo. I fail to see the wrong. We all take criticisum in life from doing stuff, and those make you work harder and get better. Hell the Dodge Monaco I painted, I repainted it 3 times re-sanded down to the metal 7 times ... 2 whole summers. Yet, I still have guys saying : 'duuuude ... did you paint that with a roller?'. My answer is always 'show me what I could have done better with what I had', my inners want to say 'go to hell'.
And since Hitech eluded cockpits, here's my standard for cockpits from IL2 COD. I want to reach thru the screen and twist those knobs.

But to go back to those 2 haze pictures, forget it's Aces High, if you get an email that say : 'Check out that new game in the making', I bet you'd say 'I'm not impressed'. I sound like a jerk I'm sure, but I'm a straight shooter. You got to call a cat a cat.
The benchmark for desert environment and colors/lighting imho:

If AH can come anywhere close to that it will be great!
