Nothing posted in the News section since July 22nd!?!
Ugh!
Pyro, PLEASE post something new and interesting soon. Preferrably, something re: the development of the B-29 B-29 B-29 and the [size=10]B-29[/size].
:)
Or, how about Aces High - Vietnam? (No...seriously)
Thank you,
-
Pyro was working on the B29, but his monitor was too smalll so he never got the wings done right and it never had the lift to take off.
If you buy him a widescreen monitor he may get things right.
I'll post the adress in a minute

Dev Update 8/09/05
Tour of Duty development has been the almost exclusive focus of our programming resources for the past few months. Recent ToD development has caused HiTech to rethink some design issues with the existing graphics engine in an effort to get more detail into the game without a performance hit. He came up with some new optimizations and a restructure of the shape library to achieve a very significant improvement to graphics performance. It's been undergoing successful in-house testing and it's exciting enough to us that we've moved it up to a priority item. It's an unexpected detour for us but we've decided to pursue this development and get it released at the earliest possible time. Our plan now is to finish the implementation of this and get it released as a test version to insure that we don't have any problems with the multitude of hardware and software configurations in use. Once we are satisfied with the test, this will be released as version 2.05. Because of the accelerated schedule we are pushing for this, we don't anticipate that 2.05 will contain any other development aside from minor fixes.
What we had originally planned for 2.05, albeit not this early, was reworked Spitfires and Messerschmitt 109's. That work is ongoing but will now be released in Version 2.06 because of the early release of 2.05. We will be changing and adding to the variant lineups of both the Spits and 109s.
We are currently working on a ToD section for our website and plan to have that launched by the end of the week. It will provide an overview and description of ToD. A new ToD forum on the message boards will soon follow for further discussion about ToD.
This new graphics doohickey with greater performance sounds promising! :aok

yea, you wish. :)

I got my widescreen this week :D ....its great for immersion, although I wouldhave liked a little better response time in the blue chanel...its still very nice...and cheap. Ive still got my 19" sony standard if I need it, but with my new 26" widescreen LCD, Ive eliminated my 27" tube TV and consolidated my Xbox over to my computer area.

Perhaps it would be wise to make a little post in the news forum announcing your move to the website. I guess many ppl link directly to the bbs and don't even read the website regularly. Never was a reason to do so until now.

Well, i'm not sure why you're rolling your eyes. But, Korea has been done. Many of us flew Sabres vs Migs for years in AW. If you missed out...I'm sorry. Write your complaint to Electronic Arts.
Back in the AW days, I first mentioned Air Warrior - Vietnam on the old BBS and got trashed for it in the beginning. Over a few months though, people started to warm up to the idea--although, not everyone. After a while, Kesmai released some screenshots of Vietnam-era aircraft. The game was in production until EA came in and killed everything we loved.
I truly have every bit of faith in Hitechcreations to put together a very enjoyable air combat sim set in the Vietnam era.
Korea was jets with cannons. Okay...fun. But, been there; done that. Vietnam - controversial as it may be for some - is the new frontier. And, HTC has the balls to go there, i believe. :)
-
Ok skuzzy, on the front page I find the last news is dated 8/12. Maybe the word "now" does not mean what you think it means?
Inconceivable!
:)
-
Vietnam era. Hmmm....
Lets see, that would give me the Intruder, the Sandy, and the Aardvark as a perk plane. Go for it! :aok
EDIT: Oh, and helicopters. Cant forget helicopters.
-
That was about all I flew in AW was Korea.......Just miss dogfighting jets, don't need no stinkin missiles :rolleyes:

Well, Mr. Rolley-eyes... ;)
I'm sure that someone here will speak about just how smart the missiles were back during the Vietnam war. I'm told that they weren't nearly as smart as today's missiles.
Tails,
CAN'T forget the helos... :D I want helos and the Phantom!!!
(Meatwad, I'm gonna start building bomber perks so I can fly that new B-29 that we're getting! ;) )

If HTC adds a B29 before adding 25 other badly-needed planes, then they have their priorities WAY outta whack.
Stop asking for the uber bomber b29. Just fly the current uber bomber B24. Hell it has better defenses.

So... where is this news then? I go to http://www.hitechcreations.com, the front page of the web site where it sounds like this new news is being posted, and the latest news is dated 8/12.
Where again is this news?

Look at the title of the thread.
then look at what Skuzzy said.
Look at the Website homepage for news on the B-29.
Now think about the title of the thread again.
-
Arent you guys a little worried that the B-29 would throw the play balance off? I mean, as it is there's a pretty equal fight between buffs and fighters, given that both know how to use their tools against each other. The damage totals needed to take down structures and strats are in proportion to payloads.
Even as a perk ride, the 29 could seriously disrupt gameplay in favor of the buffs. It carried 50% more bombload, at speeds 25% faster and alts 17% higher (above the 30k mark). It would be fast enough to make "scramble to intercept" impractical if not impossible, given our radar limitations and the absence of early warnning systems. It carried 20% more 50 cals and a tail 20mm.
It is far enouhg ahead of the rest of the MA that adding it could require reworking of pounds-ord-to-kill all over. It could shift the entire game focus to buff hunting, with the price for failure to do so being loss of bases (either as functionality or as territory).
And it WOULD be very common, regardless of price. Anybody who's been playing long likely has a stockpile of perks, and that's without there beig a juicy incentive to GET bomber perks in the first place.
It's a great plane, but I fear it might be bad for the game.

Title - no news is really bad news.
Skuzzy says news is being posted on the front page of the WEB site now. "Now" is mid-day on the 20th of Aug 2005.
I went to the front page of the web site using the link at the bottom of the forums list, and there is nothing there on the front page dated after 12 Aug 2005. The last news release is something about a new TOD section and forum, dated 12 Aug.
http://www.hitechcreations.com/frindex.html
So I've asked a simple question twice and gotten either ignored, or received a smartass answer. It's damned obvious I can't find this news release posted on the front page of the WEB site. So, once again...
WHERE IS THE NEWS THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE POSTED ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WEB SITE, BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND IT.
If it's not important enough to post where skuzzy said it was posted, and not important enough to say where it's actually posted, then maybe the whole thing is just a waste of time.

Skuzzy meant that from now on, news will be posted on the main page rather than in the forum.
I'll put a note in the news forum that it's being mothballed.

Agreed as well. I never make it a habit of going to the main page because nothing really happens there. How about copy-paste and make everyone happy? It's only 20 seconds more work every few months or so.

Our WEb site is no longer a static page. It is updated on a regular basis.

WELL, I better LOCK this thread I can see that Skuzzy is gunna start flaming :)
