Title: Skins and performance Question
Post by: Tsnow on February 18, 2007, 05:08:24 PM

Before I started downloading the skins I had good-excellent performance.
Now with most of them completed I find myself occasionaly freezing when I try check my six or other views.

Can anyone tell me how to delete the skins so I can return to my previous perfomance?

My computer is ancient, and with a kid in college dad isn't getting any new toys soon. Before each AH session I reboot, and close all background tasks. Are there any other tricks I can do to perhaps boost performance?


Thanks in advance

Delete the 'skins' and 'cache' folders in the Aces High II installation folder.

Thanks Skuzzy


If I turn my Max texture size down from 1024 will that help?

Yes. You shouldn't run normally at 1024. 512 should be max if you have a good system. If you have a slower video card or less ram, don't go above 256 (it looks blocky, I know, but it helps).

Thanks Krusty it was pre set at 1024 and before I downloaded the skins I had little to no lag. I have since switched to 512, without removing the skins, and although I am no longer lagging, Trees and objects on the ground sometimes look like white blocks.


 I have my FPS set at 60

My computer is ancient but my vid card is pretty good, I think.


Pentium 4 - 2.26 GHz
Radeon 9550 -256mb
1000 ram


Any other tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for all the help

As someone who dropped out of high school and digs holes for a living, I see it as a life goal to put my girls though school. If I manage that, I will consider myself a success.
