Hi HiTech,
As noted online - I was driving a Tiger I and hit a tree branch hard and it stopped me cold. When I tried to back straight out from the point of stop the Tiger was put further inside the tree.
Thanks for fixing the Strat location / colors on the SFMA map - all good now.
Cheers, Elec1

Used the in-game updater. When the installer started to run, Windows declared that the program didn't run properly but I dismissed the dialog and the updater ran fine from what I could tell.

I received this error message after installing the patch, however, it finished installing and the game launched without any trouble.
It doesn't appear any event logs were generated.

Same here. Updated fine, patched fine. At the first run the game started in a slightly off-screen windowed mode where I couldn't move the mouse outside the game area to move or resize the window. Quit the game, the start screen was in a centered window which could be moved. Centered it after some accidental moving and went back online. No major issues after that, the game played full screen as supposed. .

I wrote this up using the AvA terrain map but it happens for the sfma terrain map as well.
In this scenario, I quit the AvA arena and see the Melee tab, then quit there to the sign-in clipboard and if I go online again, I briefly see the AvA arena's terrain map on the clipboard before it clears to show the Melee arena tab. If I quit to the first clipboard screen, 'Online' 'Offline Practice' Choose Terrain' etc then click Online Arenas, I briefly see the same AvA terrain in the clipboard before the login dialog.
So I'm seeing that terrain map twice, between the online option screen and the login, then between the login and seeing the Melee tab.

I seen this also, Its some kind of bug i guess. Guys its the first patches so don't expect things to be so smooth yet. I can't wait until everything is fixed and running.

Two issues just now after patch. First, lost the mouse curser in flight so can't check settings, preferrences E6B, etc. Second, in the middle of a fight at low altitude - ground to 5k, suddenly went to desk top. In a 51, using flaps to turn, but not keyboard, hotas only. Clicked on game icon on the menu bar and got right back in, right in front of the F4U that shot me down. Ooops. Great game. Frame rates stay solid at 59-60 (my max) low, at altitude, in fights, flak, etc. Love it. Only a few settings cut back -- playing well above the default settings.

Do not work. Light comes on....no change in Center of Lift due to recovery flaps deploying.
Also, Game with Vsync forces 60hz refresh. If you have a 120hz monitor, it resets your refresh rate to 60.

DX11 This post has to do with alt+tab out of game. I open a window and leave it open before entering the game. I click on the shortcut icon for AH3 on desktop. I enter the game and then alt+tab out to minimize AH3. If I then close the open window I had before entering the game originally, it immediately throws me back into AH3 without me clicking on the AH3 icon in the task bar. Once that happens, I can no longer use the alt+tab to minimize AH3. I can use the alt+tab feature multiple times with no problem if I didn't close the open window before re-entering the game or have one to begin with.

The voice window cannot be moved to the right of the screen. All other windows (chat bar, clipboard, also the movable frames in GUI config) can be moved everywhere fine, but "Voice" is stuck at about column 3324 (of 6048x1200). http://halos.de/~ceh/ah3/1.jpg (http://halos.de/~ceh/ah3/1.jpg)
Radar indicators for off-map aircraft are shown outside of the map. In AH2, if the map was fully zoomed out, the arrows pointing outward were visible inside of the map. In AH3, they are still pointing outwards, but are drawn one sector outside of the map. If the map is fully zoomed out, the arrows are not visible. That's the case at least for planes leaving the map to the north.
Gun ship or field selection on fleets doesn't fit on the screen. See http://halos.de/~ceh/ah3/2.jpg (http://halos.de/~ceh/ah3/2.jpg) at the bottom. Of course, using the view keys everything can be reached, but its a bit inconvenient. The map icon for "you're here" fits on the map, but is a bit too big for my taste though (its bigger than it was in AH2 at least).

Further to the B26 drones issue reported earlier...
One of the 3 sets of bombers were shot down in 1 blast from a 190D - 1 plane hit - ALL 3 BOMBERS BLEW UP - and, received damage / parts dropping off my bombers at the same time (not his set but my set and I was 2.5 K away from him).
The bomber damage model is definitely off. It is WAY too easy to kill them now. I know HiTech said it is the same from AH2 but I beg to differ based on what I have experienced / seen in the AH III arenas over the Beta period and most definitely today once again.
Please look into this further - it makes being a bomber pilot now useless which many of us are predominantly bomber pilots.

I think I have this right.
Opened AHIII and it ran fine. TrackIR ran fine. Switched sides in whatever the MA is this night, and it was fine. Took off in a 202, it was fine, but I didn't like my rear view. So I alt-tabbed out of AHIII, raised the TrackIR program, switched off the True View box. AHIII had disappeared; Task Manager couldn't find it, it didn't appear in the Win10 bar on the bottom of the screen, and yet, when I tried to start it again, it refused to start. Have to reboot my computer and do it all over again.
In fact, this happens whenever I alt-tab out of AHIII, regardless of what I do next. Wouldn't mind it so much if I could just start AHIII up again, but I have to reboot the whole computer, and I am tired of doing this.

Updated no problem.
Went to the WW1 arena, the Zoom in/out are reversed. The text is correct but the function is reversed.
Also noticed in the B26's, when taking off and flying, the Oil temp for the left engine moves way up into the red, while the right engine does not. Need to check this in the other bombers also.

Offline or Online - DX9 & DX11 - Cannot switch sound sources on the fly like in AH2.
Normally use HDMI for speaker sound on the TV and Xonar DGX sound card for headset when needed. In AH2 it will switch back and forth on the fly by selecting speaker source.
In AH3 that worked 1 time to switch from HDMI to sound card. After that to make the switch must select new speaker source then quit completely out of game, including the opening menu, and start again for switch to take effect.
Tried switching the speaker layout but that had no effect on this issue.

Not sure if this is a bug or not but i'm gonna post it. Say your in a turn fight you got 3 notches of flaps deployed and one gets shot off as you pick up speed and they come back in or you pull them in yourself the one that is shot off acts as if its still there and deployed while the other one is pulled and it makes the plane unflyable unless you slow down and get the flaps back to where they was when it was shot off. is this a bug or is this supposed to be that way?

Quote from: Lusche
- Engine sounds are a mess: Tu-2 has external engine sound only when the point of view is extremely close to the plane, 10ft away and it cuts off. Internal engine sound drops out depending on attitude (nose down and it cuts out no matter what speed & throttle setting), and depending on power setting alone as well. At first, Lancaster had no engine sounds at all. Only when I went external and set my point of view very close to the engines, there was a faint engine sound to hear which then also stayed when I switched back to cockpit. Until I brought the clipboard up and minimized that again - engine sound disappeared again In the B-25C I had internal engine sound in level flight only while WEP was on. Without WEP, engine sound only when climbing, unless I cut back the throttle ... :confused:
I did some further tests on this. The problems described above pertain to all bombers, I have no regular internal engine sound in any of them, be it multi- or single engined bombers. The 5 or 6 fighters I tested all had internal engine sounds

Just like in AHII, I had turned down the Master Volume to about 20% (no adjustment to any individual sound groups). This did cut out the engine sounds only, and only on all bombers. Playing with that master slider I find a very sudden engine sound cutoff at/near approximately 25% of volume, it goes from still quite loud (ony my system) to none.
With all fighters I tested, the engine sound volume scales much better across the whole range when using the master volume slider.
By the way, when I tried to check this, I could not start DX11 nor DX 9 version of AHIII. The splash screen came up, but never the clipboard. Was able to close the window without problems (no "has stopped responding" or so). I had previously played AH II and did exit that one regularly. A reboot fixed this problem-

I found that turning engine volume down causes the engine sound to STOP playing abruptly at certain head positions or in certain planes (most notably are bombers). You can test this by increasing the volume in sound preferences while sitting in the cockpit of Lancasters.
Somewhere around 48% it starts to become "buggish".

UPDATE on texture error bug:
Flew a sortie, rtb, refueled, took off, flying and had no control of the clipboard map and the chat buffer was invisible. Then flying a little bit longer the game put my pilot (Not my plane) in the center of the map all silent with nothing to control....
I brought up task manager and the game was eating up 1 GIG processor / ram memory.
Windows 7, the game is leaking memory eating up more of the task manager while you fly . I think that is the problem.

Has anyone experienced a blue screen crash when adjusting controls in game? Maybe its my old x52 setup, I do have it on a powered hub though. Would the dump info help? Would need to know where to find it.
The blue screen crash happened three times in a row under the same circumstances, in game clipboard open setting button assignments, btw, the reason I was still adjusting the buttons is that the assignments weren't staying saved.
PS Just flew DX9 with no issues

This version is definitely not ready for prime time.
My PC works great with AH2. TrackIR5 and AH3 is buggy it seems. Launched an F4U with everything working fine. 5 minutes into climbout and TrackIR, still running, quits working with AH3. In other words, I had no view system - only front view thru the cockpit available. Had to restart AH3.

Three times today I had a memory error that popped up while i was using the clipboard , it's only happened when interacting with the clipboard . It shrinks the screen down to about half the resolution and locks my Pc up to where i have to control alt del to end AH3 . Ill get a screenshot next time of possible , but the memory error says something about it could not write to a certain location in the memory . Has anyone else seen this?

While in flight, pulled the plug on the modem, rebooted computer, launched ah3
it acutally said i exceeded 5 minutes flight time, and no.. i was not away from the network for 5 minutes, less than that.
afterwards...... I fly at 700meg task manager memory... climb a bomber strat run, things start to go bonkers, and my task manager shows AH3 at 900 meg memory.
Looks like this is going to be an ongoing thing of memory leaks?

Had a strange one with buff formations today. Two formations, one Ki67 one G4M. The drones would alternate between the two, so sometimes the Ki would have 2 x ki and 2 g4m drones (and g4m was by itself), and sometimes the g4m would have 2 ki drones and 2 g4m drones (and ki would have none).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before DX11 update... the beta was GOOOD
Something went awry during the DX11 update. I'm getting serious memory leak issues, bugs while in flight, etc.
During the 'BETA' prior to DX11 update, my PC had ZERO issues while inflight. And after DX11 update? Nothing but problems.
Either the game freaks out due to using more than 900 meg memory after 1/2 hour flight time or less, or prior to that makes my mouse flip out forcing it to go to the left side of screen, (its all flight time as I was in tower afk for about 20 hours without an issue).
Neither never ever happened prior to the DX11 update. The beta was fine.

Update on No Sound in Bombers:
I tried flying Lancasters earlier today and while in flight I noticed the "no engine sound". This happened in particular when I was looking straight forward or straight back. If I changed views to look at a 45 degree angle any direction the sound was on normal.
Hope this helps.

Molsman and I both confirm that - for us, at least - alt-tab throws us out of the game and requires a re-boot of the computer.
Also, most of the choices on the clipboard do nothing. Hanger works, as does OClub, but not much more.

gldnbb,
Post a dxdiag of your PC if you have not done so. I have none of your issues DX9 or DX11. I can minimize the game and work at the desktop for 30 or 40 minutes, bring it back up and no memory bleeds. All PC's are a tiny bit different and you would be helping Hitech and Skuzzy much more knowing what you PC configuration is.

Noticed in the B26's that if you initiate WEP (I know b26's don't have WEP) the left engine oil temp gauge jumps into the "red".THe B24's, B-17's,Bostpn II's andthe G4M1.
Also on the B26's the Ords counter in the cockpit flashes off and on.
B25C in formation, 1 drone follows as you would expect, the other however stays in the trees for a long time.

Not sure if it's a bug or planned this way. Tank rounds within any proximity to foilage detonate the shell prematurely. Much more than AH2 which required hitting the foilage, not just getting close to it. It almost acts proximity fused as firing through an obvious visible opening detonates the round.
Also
The new m3/goon base-town resup at 30 minutes seems to only require one base sup to bring a white flag/auto guns down town back to life. With guns and town bldgs set at 30 minute downtime has really gamed the resupply until a lot of strat damage gets the down timers up. Can this be set back to the 10minute resup in use now in AH2 ? More than once have gunned down a block of buildings and guns to see them pop back within seconds after they went down. Disconcerting to say the least if you're still in sight range of a gun you just took out.
Does shift f1 thru f4 actually change the object visibility range ? In AH2 there is a visible change that occurs when you toggle views that don't seem to change in AH3. Toggling from F1 view to F4 ground view in AH2 you can see far off features change, if that's happening in AH3 i'm not noticing it.
Gotta say the nighttime graphics are awesome and the shellfire/bombing at a distance sounds deja vu close to the real thing on the ground in the jungle. Almost as if H&I fire is being called in. Just the right rumble.

I am getting video crashes almost every flight. The screen goes black, I can tab out of the game and I see a message from the video icon in my taskbar: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered." AH3 is now a normal window, solid black. If I click on it the window maximizes but stays black. Judging by the sounds the game is still running fine (I can hear new vox transmissions, for instance) but no video at all. The only way I've managed to recover it is to close the game in task manager and restart it and reenter the arena.
It seems like it happens most often when I am messing with views but there may be exceptions.
The last time I ran the beta (a couple of versions ago) I did not have this problem and I have never seen that error message in any other game or program.
DxDiag attached.
Also, to echo someone else's complaint, your own plane icon on the clipboard map is WAY too big. It obscures too much of the map so you can't see anything else in your vicinity unless you zoom all the way in on the map.

Twice did I take off in a Me 163 Komet to engage enemy bombers, a set of B-29s and a set of He 111.
Both times drones were taking damage when I was actually hitting the lead bomber only. Just like in a similar incident a few versions ago, there was no way I could have landed hits on the drones during my pass. Seems the damage is approximately mirrored, hits in the lead' cockpit hit the drone cockpit (instadeath), hits on the right wing of the lead (removing it) caused engine damage on the same wing of the drones.
Unfortunately, bomber drones still don't show up on film.

1. In AH2 selecting squad colors using ctrl-s is fixed, staying that way each time you log in. IN AH3, Ctrl-s must be pressed every time you log in. Prefer that it be like AH2.
2. Using thrustmaster TARGET software for button assignments, you get an occasional bullet fire or bomb drop or other odd button actuation that seems to be tied to bring up the clipboard, resizing or zooming or clipboard button press using the mouse although not every time. Using same setting it does not happen in ah2. Another TARGET user is having same problem. Will try to pin this down.

I lose engine idle sound in fighters. I turned the engine way down 10% maybe. I think it starts to happen around 25%. Its also kinda random. I did get the idle sound at various times. The engine sound also went away on the IL2 while flying. I couldn't tell if it was when the plane got real slow or if it was just random. If I turn my head in the cockpit the ear towards the engine gets louder than when I am facing it.

In regards to my prior question about tank shell detonation by foilage.
In watching it yesterday, it appears that any tree that displays an open area as a branch moves thru its arc reserves the open area graphically for the branch to move back in to. It appears that the what displays as a wide open area you should be able to fire a cannon shell thru, but the shell will detonate no matter how clear the area displays. That could possibly explain why cannon shells explode in what visually appears as a clear spot around a trees foilage.

First, I only saw damage 'transferred from lead to drone(s). When I attacked a He 111 drone first, it went down with any visibly damage to the other ships. After that I removed a wing from the lead (which started to plunge down). After that the remaining drone (now lead) had suddenly oil leak on the same wing. I think that phoney damage only came into existance after the Heinkel pilot bailed from the falling lead, but I can't tell for 100% sure.
In the other cases the lead bombers died to quick to tell exactly the point at which the damage was transferred, and I usually don't have a vis on the bombers when egressing (I do very fast high angle slashing attacks and usually shoot late).
I hope I can do another test this evening (US afternoon)

Also if you get an AH film would help of either the bomber or the shooter.

I can send a couple of films from the fighter pov. Just had killed a B-24 set (top down attack on the lead, looking back I see multiple fires from the lead, then in quick succession the kill messages) and tried to contact the bomber pilot about what happened on his side, but to no avail.

Howdy 2 issues since downloading the pre release version.
1. when first logging on to the MA I have 2 mouse cursors when the MOTD pops open, when I close it the game minimized to the tray. When I re open the game from the tray it acts normal, most of the time but if I sit in the tower for a bit the game freezes.
2. Track IR still keeps the game led lit after closing the game [did not do this in AH2] not a big deal I just shut the camera off and re start it and all is good.
I am auto downloading skins so I dont know if there is some connection to problem 1 with that. DX diag attached

Another shadow bug - I get weird, triangular-shaped poined shadows pointing inward from the outside edge of the screen. If I go to external view, or try to look at them from a different angle they disappear. Seem to occur no matter what plane I'm in, and its odd they are in front of me while I'm looking INTO the sun....

Taking a bomber off from a CV, the bombs don't seem to work (drop the bombs on a ship and they don't explode). Attack planes taken off from CV, bombs work as expected.
Things are fine. The trouble was with me -- the way I was doing the testing.

dx11 version seems to lock up on my system if I play around with time of day (moving it around from 6:00, to 7:00, to 8:00, back to 7:00, etc. while flying around generally with nose pointed at or near sun).
I have done it a couple of times now.
It doesn't completely lock up -- it continues to run, but with system thrashing and at a frame rate of about 1 frame every 30 seconds or so.
I have Windows 7 and a GeForce 750 Ti card with drivers from last month (relatively new, but not the very latest).

You might try updating the video drivers. Running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) (http://www.wagnardmobile.com/?q=display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-) before the update might be a good idea.
Thanks, should have though to do that myself.
Updated the drivers and I'm not getting that video card problem but I am still getting some complete freeze-ups of the game. It doesn't seem to be the same problem. It's a lot less frequent, I played a couple of hours tonight and it happened twice.

As the number of players rise, the number of low vox volume to no vox has really gone up. It was just about a constant complaint going on by numerous players.
When sunrise started there was a giant, blank, rectangle that covered most of the sky.
Every time I log in I get two mouse pointers, the windows pointer and the ah pointer. When I click on the opening arena message to close the window, I get an alt-tab closing of ah, when I come back the windows pointer is gone.
Last night I had two screen freezes and four lost host. dx11 version is barely playable with these numbers.

Did a little more testing (AH3). Found that with the hook down, cracking the throttle would not make the plane move backwards. With the hook up, it would creep slowly backwards. What happened earlier was that the plane slid backwards very quickly -- as if it was not "attached" to the carrier and the carrier just sailed out from under it at 30 knots.

Brooke please take a screenshot of your Graphics Detail menu settings and attach to a post. This will help others if they are experiencing the same or similar results. Next, I would do these 3 things and test again: 1) First place known to rob performance: check to insure that the environment map slider is set to "none". 2) Place a check in the box next to "disable clutter in flight" 3.) Reduce your max texture size, this is accessible from the "video settings" menu available only before you "go online" to start the arena portion of the game.

Reduce your max texture size, this is accessible from the "video settings" menu available only before you "go online" to start the arena portion of the game.
It's not a performance issue, as I get 60 fps flying around. (I'm using default settings except that I have slider set to none and disable shadows and reflection, as those are distracting to me.) Then, I screw around with the time of day while pointing my nose at or near the sun, changing the time of day from about 6:00 to 7:00 to 8:00 back and forth and in between while moving my nose around and weaving left and right, looking at the sun. After a while, the sun starts to look a little strange (too much bloom, too much glare off water), and then the game comes to a near halt. Most people would think it has crashed, but if I wait long enough, I see that I get about one frame every 30 seconds or 1 minute. It takes a while for me to get out of the game with alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del (have to wait a few minutes -- the first time it happened, I hard powered off my machine to get out of it).
If I restart the game and don't screw around with time of day in this way, it seems to work fine.
This happens in dx11, but it does not seem to happen in dx9 when I do the same testing.
I've switched to flying in dx9 figuring that dx11 on Windows 7 might not be as robust.

While mapping controllers for gvs using clipboard,in tower, causes clipboard to lock up. Cursor moves but clicking has no effect at all. Stick presses have no effect either. After Ctrl-Alt-Del 3 times to no effect I get a black screen. Ctrl-alt-del eventually gets me to my desktop background picture with no Icons on screen. I am forced to shut off power to the power supply and cold boot to use pc.

If its already been addressed please disregard. I noticed the turret angle was pretty steep on the T34. I sheepishly admit to landing 7 kills of aircraft Saturday and not one was a nose shot. More like shooting skeet. Which I admit was a skill in my earlier shotgun days, but probably not what the tank was designed for.

To update my previous post...I just tried DX9 version without the same issue as in DX11 version.
My reason for remapping my mode 2 controllers in DX11 was because mode 2 was not transferred correctly but instead had same settings as mode 1. The DX 9 version transferred both mode 1 & mode 2 correctly.

I think this has been posted, but trying to create custom arena caused a lock up. Three fingered it and restarted AHIII, tried to create arena with no custom arenas showing, got a message I already had a custom arena running and to close it even though none was listed.
Edit. I waited and tried again. This time the craterma custom arena was created, but no staged missions were listed even when the show missions for all terrains was checked and of course there are several craterma staged missions on the server that show up in the melee arena when you go to staged missions.

My frame rate kept bouncing back and forth from 20 to 150 today. I haven't seen that before. Moving the sliders seemed to have no effect, I turned everything to absolute minimum and 1k textures and that got it up to 35-40 most of the time.
I am also still getting the occasional game freeze up. I've seen someone else mention this: when I tab out the game no longer appears under applications in task manager, so I tab to processes and close it there.
One thing on the graphics: the haze at sea level is so bad that ships are invisible beyond about 10k. That really needs to be fixed. Also sea mode gunnery doesn't work correctly, the shells don't hit on the zero has of either the gray or the yellow scale. In AH2 in sea mode they'd hit where the zero has on the yellow scale was when you fired.

Another thing about the film viewer, the sliders don't move the view around the plane as they do in AH2. They do move the view, but very strangely and it makes setting up screen shots very difficult.
I believe the problem happens when you view a film from an enemy plane's perspective, the film viewer directional sliders (and even the keyboard keys) are still connected to film taker's view.
So, everything works normally from the film taker's view but goes awry when changing planes in the viewer.
