we've got plenty of clutter. The only prob is you can't turn it off.

Still on the comp.  Completely forgot it was there.  Took the old P38L out for a ride.  Must admit it was good memories.  They looked kinda good in fact.

A couple of AH1 38s on the prowl :)

It was right when they added the water effects.  Video setting of some sort.

An earlier screenshot of my 38L in it's usual battered shape.  Water look the way you remember?

What HT did was write a new graphics engine. The AH1 engine was at its limit. Basically, the foundation has been laid, it is now a matter of building the house...which will take time.

Mega,

What he is trying to say is that HT owns stock on several computer companies.  He build his new engine with the purpose of killing FPS and forcing people to buy new equipment in order to be able to play the game by turning all graphics off.  It all makes sence in the end :D
