Title: 2 weeks from last major update .... any news about 1.03?
Post by: gatt on May 08, 2000, 05:47:00 AM
Can we have some news about the incoming 1.03?
I red that HTC designers are still searching for the right Yak-9U camo.
The 190A-5 should be finished as well as the M3 vehicle. What about the A6M5b?

Thx in advance for any input from HTC.

Well there hasnt been a lot of ubb activity from any of the HTC crew. And their arena presence hasnt been that hight either. I guess they are working their tulips off for 1.03. So it better be a great update...

The last update was great (except for the over hardness of the hangers - but thats another story)  I am still having a lot of fun with this update and with the quality of play now I can easily wait for a new update but a word from our sponsors would be helpful.

V1.03 vapourware? nah, at least with Aces High screenshots they have terrain in them and actually look like they are from a game engine not 3D Studio Max  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

The yak-9u is almost complete.  We finally decided on a camo scheme last week.  Right now I am texture mapping the cockpit.  We actually haven't even started the effects on the art side yet because Nate and I are both doing new planes right now.  HT had coded up a pretty cool explosion with pieces flying everywhere though.

Bless me players, for I have sinned.  It's been two weeks since my last update. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

No more patches are planned before 1.03.  Nate and John are doing well.  After these planes, they have some detail work to do, like putting an AA mount on the tank and making some fire graphics and such.  After that, they'll start on the Ju 88 and Lancaster but I don't know whether those planes will make it into 1.03.

Dale's been working on coding up graphical effects, Ronni's been working on a new and yet unannounced project, and I'm working on the flight characteristics of the upcoming planes.  

That's about it, some new screenshots will be coming out this week and in two weeks I'm going on vacation to Vegas.  Don't expect anything before then.  

P.S.  I also had a dream that I reached into my mouth and pulled out a loose tooth.  It came out easily and painlessly.  I examined it closely for a few minutes and noted what a fine tooth it was and wondered why it came loose.

Oh... 1.03 will be jam-packed with so much goodness it will be hard to bear...

Think how much more fun that vacation would be if you didn't have to worry about finishing 1.03 when you got back...  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Of course, I will be on vacation soon, too (Myrtle Beach, SC). I guess I can wait until I return for some fun...

I have seen this kind of dreams many times, most people do see dreams about losing their teeth. It has apparently something to do with primal fears from days when we were even more apes then we are now. Apparently losing teeth is sign of disease or bad health and when the days of healthcare was nonexisten, it was a bad thing.

1.03 sounds excellent!  Great work guys!

I seriously had a dream once that I was flying a P-61 around Aces High, but I wasn't at my computer, I was in the cockpit.  It was the coolest dream and I was looking for the P-61 the next morning here in Aces High  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I usually die in most of my dreams and I'm not kidding.  I'd have to say that this looks like a sign of bad health also  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  Kinda funny when you wake up happy to be alive  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I always read in dream books that losing teeth was a good thing, but I could be wrong.  Anyone into dream anaylisis?

Well, Freud, in his, inter alia, Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis claims that dreaming of losing teeth reflects guilt/fear of punishment for masturbation.

Now, what should this tell us about AH 1.03? Maybe it's time to remove the "Don't move your stick so rapidly" message.
It it feels good, do it baby!

Countless times I have asked for no more planes and no more updates, but my pleas go un-noticed by the HTC crew!!

Dosen't the HTC people have anything else to do but advance this sim. I'm tired of it! I know you believe your doing your job to to increase the playability of AH.  Deep down inside the customers of AH do not really want  all that new stuff!

Another thing, I determined I had too much fun flying on AH the other night.  This cannot be allowed.  Thank You for your time and effort in this matter.

Have a nice day!    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
