i wish that HTC would get going a little faster, i think i heard that CT was on hold, so whats holding them up, we dont have any new planes yet, the only thing new was just updating ones we had, i would like to come to HTC and see on the front bulletin that their progressing, the only thing new I have seen on there is that they we celebrating turkeyday and that tour 106 has been completed
-
If I might ask...Just how long do you think it takes to..
Decide the best AC to add.
Research that AC once decided.
3d model
skin
test to make sure it flies withing desired parameters
debug
Not to mention if there are more than one variant they wish to add at the same time.
-
i think that since CT was stopped or put on hold for 2 weeks or whatever, we might be getting more planes and tanks because thats is what they are concentrating on right now i think
-
it would be nice if they could "At least" put it up on the front bulletin that its in "Development" i mean thats why its partly their in the first place no? and please dont try to look like a no it all by posting like that, use common sense IMO

Look when they 1st start post picks of the next AC release compared to when it is released.
Judging by that I think it takes a bit more development time than you think.
-
yes, let the stock holders of htc know whats coming, we want a bit of inside info for our monthly payments :devil

If YOU had any "common sense", you'd already know that your Thread never should have been started. You seem to lack the "appreciation".
It's ok, one day you'll understand................... ............................. ..........maybe.

If you want 2D planes that go 20mph and shoot rubber bullets, HTC will do that for you!

read what CAV said, and im starting to loose appreciation, because, i pay 15$ a month for the same thing over and over again, you say its too hard for them, what about FSX, or X Plane 9? that compared to this

I never said that, so don't even attempt to "put words in my mouth." You only "read my post" up until a certain point and not only struck out swinging, you further went back to the bench wailing like a (http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5Elf/baby2.gif)

First off, HTC has a team of 6 or so.
Second, it's part of the hype to release a new plane or GV. I sure wouldn't want to know 6 months in advance that we are getting a new plane. Too much wait for it, I'd rather wait in quiet and see what is to come.
-

First, pay 15$ a month for the game as is... not the things you expect to come. The good thing is, you cans top playing and paying anytime you want...and come back when something has been added that's refueling your interest. From a pure consumer's point of view there is no reason to pay for a product hioping this or that will happen. It would be different if you had to prepay, buyed aboxed game or had some kind of longer running contract. But we don't :)
Second - your comparison isn't valid in any way. Comparing a tiny devloper like HTC (with only 2 guys doing the programming and two others the artwork) to Microsoft borders on being rediculous. Also Flight and X Plane do rely heavily on 3rd parties for scenery add-ons, planes and such - somethign that HTC can't do for various reasons.
-

I'd think that you could "At least" read the "News, Announcements, & Information" Forum. There you might stumble across Pyro's post which includes a line about a new terrain engine and art work. Reasonably, that alone could take all of HTC's resources for 3 to 6 months depending on the level of change.
-

Indeed. If he had noticed, FSX only comes with 10 planes maybe? FS9 comes with 15 or 20...because people make add-on planes and scenery for them, whilst HTC has to make the artwork, terrain, scenery, planes, models, etc.
-
As much as I would love to see new planes more often, I do like the suspense in guessing what's coming out next. I DO wish however planes could get updated more frequently, but not being very computer literate, I don't know what goes into doing that, and probably takes more work than I imagine.

Indeed it does, I believe, even with the facelifts, it's basically redoing everything...the only thing you're not redoing is the FD...

I agree, but understand that P1Tiger is coming off as a "selfish" person by his posts.

If you want it, you do it. They are probably still recovering from the Con, and I'm pretty sure they don't want to do anyting for the holidays, so when they come back it won't be a fiasco.

That about sums it up.

Nope. I just have a very great disdain for "Selfishness" and "folks expecting respect, instead of realizing it's a two way street and earned."

I'm not judging anyone, merely pointing out FACT in your posts.

then point it out, i would like to improve, and if only two guys are doing the programming then i know the solution (http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:U5DKSOflmBznIM:http://www.seganerds.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/help-wanted.jpg) and if your worried about your paychecks, then do it after christmas

The HTC staff doesn't make that much money honestly. I doubt they could afford another person to work there.

Selfish ? Of course we are selfish we are customers, we are not giving money to the friggin red cross you know !!!
All I could see coming from HTC is that they dropped promised upgrades for the software we buy (we paid for those devs whatever you say), and since then we got nothing. Looking at the info they dare give us they are NOT working on the game, it may be false but how could I know, they don't say anything !
But all that isn't new they always have been TERRIBLE with communication.
PS : the game quality is going down the drain, all the best things in it are organised by a few players. Without the events it would just get boring as HTC seems to think the MA dynamics are perfect. Without player made skins the already out of date new modeling would be just plain boring. And don't start me on the 1980's damage model.
my 2 cents.

Finally someone said the truth, and masherbrum you hear "Wailing" because you really have nothing to say and are defending HTC, i mean i got nothing against them, but still. noir said it all,
and here is a... something
purple arena: 15/150
green arena:23/200
Orange arena:360/400
Blue arena 260/300
take away about 26 two weekers in total
they make about 20k a year give or take sell a couple millions of copies of AHII over time, for about 45 dollars maybe a couple thousand a week, some chimericals and you got more people paying for the game

HTC has the most accurate modeling of any game I've ever played. The GV damage model is odd, but this is FLY Aces HIGH...

Personally, I'd venture to say that most people would like the 2 programmers...you get a big corp like Micro$haft and the more people work there the less the quality is.
1000 players (est.) x 12 months x 15 bucks a month = 180,000/year.
-
HTC could always drive up the price.... but they don't
-
I sure wish they'd take the gun away from people's temples and let them not play if they are so unhappy. Damn that HTC for forcing us into their game!
Just out of curiousity. What is it that you don't have in spades in this game? I want more, really doesn't tell us much. You've flown all the planes and learned them well? You've driven all the GVs and have that all figured out? The cookie jar of new things to try is empty already? Here since tour 93 and you've worn out the game?
What have you contributed to the community and the game to help make it better?
-

not exactly, come up with a catchy WWII game name, kinda hard, but look closely

divide that by 6 and you got 30k a year per person, and i say Microsoft has better quality. why do you say less?

well maybe when i get stuck to the game and get to platinum i can answer that, and you cant learn much when everyone does the same. what have you contributed to the game, besides almost 10,000 posts?

Like anyone else said, if you don't like HTC, quit. I'm coming on 2.5 years, and I'm still addicted to the game.

In Dan's defense, he's provided the community with plenty of info when asked. He's provided Event planners with information when the CM team needs a bit more information. He's helped out on the boards and in-game more than a lot of people here. Most of all, he's a great character, doesn't whine when something is wrong, is content with the game, loves to dogfight and doesn't mind dying, enjoys a good laugh, and respects most all players.
What have you done except whine about how bad the game is? If you don't like it, go make your own and see how hard it is.
Maybe you should learn more about the people on this forum before insulting them, eh?
-
HTC puts out irregular updates about twice a year. If we assume they dropped CT before 2.12 came out (the huge update from April '08), they've given us a new fighter with 2 variants, a new bomber with 2 variants, 2 new ground vehicles, updated a vehicle, updated 5 fighters one of which had two variants, updated the CV fleet, and implemented a feature which IIRC they had said before would be impossible or extremely difficult. If I had to guess what was coming next, I would say it would be more graphics updates and something big with terrains. I'm pretty satisfied at this point.
-

I'd suggest you go back and read some of those posts. They tend to have a lot to do with sharing WW2 aviation history and information, whether it be for the skinners, scenario guys, plane fanatics, or whatever.
There are any number of folks who do the same thing in hopes of getting folks to look at the game as more then just that.
-
Have you read any of those 9000 posts? He is always helpful and goes out his way to find the most rare and obscure facts about planes, units and the people who flew and maintained them. The community would be much poorer without his contributions.

Guppy is a near endless treasure mine of knowledge.

I was thinking damage model in general, GVS and planes are plagued with the same disease. That was not the main point of my post anyway, we just need more info ! A devblog would be nice, a bit like this one : http://myeve.eve-online.com/devblog.asp (http://myeve.eve-online.com/devblog.asp) (you may have to be logged to see it)

Too much liability and flame/rant-bait from a devblog.. It'll get the you-owe-me-15$'s-worth crowd frothing at every perceived misstep.

You have absolutely no clue, sir.

Point out where I "defended HTC"? Please, enlighten me. I hold no bias. You act like they sit around all day doing nothing. What do you want?
I know.
"News, Announcements Thread"
Sunday - Skuzzy woke up and downed a shot of Jack Daniels before working on Server issues.
Monday - Dale thought it funny to spill Cragganmore all over Pyro's desk in retaliation for putting a fart cushion on his chair.
Tuesday - Waffle wakes up and is out of Aunt Jemima Syrup and launches a bottle of Log Cabin, narrowly missing his Stuka model.
Wednesday - Pyro decides to hide Dale's "thought to be Super Secret Stash of Cragganmore" and replaces it with diluted Apple Juice (to color).
Thursday - Skuzzy accidentally deletes a file and crashes the Server. Upon doing a pirouette in the server room, his "gunboats" yank out the server cord, crashing the Arenas. The prior causes the Community to post multiple threads on the same topic. Which in turn, causes time away from Development to lock and consolidate threads.
Friday - Everyone forgoes development and holds a Paper Football Tournament. Dale wins "because he can".
Saturday - Nothing posted.
Now, I will say this. They WERE developing CT and decided to shelve it. You think at the flip of a switch you can just "get on the path"? No, it takes time. Trinity was just released for AH2, so that is an indication that other things are SOON TO FOLLOW.
But, that isn't good enough for some folks.

To quote a sage individual....."you can't fix stupid.". :rolleyes:
-
P1tiger first off the game is free, free to download, free to play offline, including the new offline missions, including the offline mission editor, and terrain editor. Thats always been the way it is, and frankly 90% or more of us like it that way. It ain't broke, don't fix it.
You pay 14.95$ a month for arena access, and thats a bargain.
I started out flying flight sims at 2$ an hour with a 5 hour minimum.
Hitech broke all that with his flat rate pricing. He's saved some people if not millions at least thousands and thousands of dollars since 2000.
The reason he is able to do it, he keeps his shop close and tight, no extra overhead, no fat, no waste.
That means a slightly longer wait at times. Thats ok, there is nothing else out there that can stand toe to toe with Aces High. He's the king of his niche and and his and his crew are DANG good at what they do.
So enough with the now already generation, shut up and fly.
Leave HT and company in peace, when they have something to say, they'll say it.
Don't like the way its done, fine, vote with your feet. Frankly I'd just as soon not have to put up with your type anyway, so the door is that way. Your choice.
-
Friday - Everyone forgoes development and holds a Paper Football Tournament. Dale wins "because he can".
That's sig material Karaya, hilarious!
-
You act like they sit around all day doing nothing.
Yes, thats the feeling I when I look at the game and the announcements.
Skuzzy has said that a Devblog is just a waste of time that they could use programming, and that's why they don't have one.
Programming what ? a beta score page ? cmon they could use 5% of their programming time to keep the customers happy...
I made a friend from another game try AH about 2 years ago...he liked it but not enough to subscribe (lack of content and immersion). A few days ago we talked about it and he asked "Is that game still the same ?" while laughing. All I could do is to admit it didn't change much, and weirdly I felt embarrassed.
-
Chances are, HTC works just a little bit at a time on whatever they need to get done. Your next plane is probably worked on very hard for longer than they've announced it to be there.
-
That's sig material Karaya, hilarious!
Go for it bud. :rock
-
Erm... $30,000 a year before utilities, taxes, and everything... is NOT that much at ALL.
Hell, $30,000 per person STILL isn't that much.
Not sure why this argument is still happening, anyone in there right mind should be able to see that 6 people who have lives of their own are not going to be putting out new content every 2 weeks... :huh
-

You have just reached the not worth the time status with this post.
Insulting one of the most amiable people in game and the bbs? Start a shade now numpty.

Think this works aptly for a couple in this thread.
Some days darts get under my skin. especially when some people are "Stuck on stupid." or my version "Clueless dolts."
HiTech
You know who you are.

Funny how I been around since tour 25 and I still play without being embarassed about it. I think its alot of fun. Some of U need to look around instead of whats right in front of your face. U might see more.
-
I agree, but understand that P1Tiger is coming off as a "selfish" person by his posts.
Yeah Karaya I agree, I think he was a but harsh aswell
-
Skuzzy has said that a Devblog is just a waste of time that they could use programming, and that's why they don't have one.
Exactly what i was getting ready to post, And usuially a few weeks before a plane/tank is released they put out screen shots of it.
-

your opinion. $15pm puts in the Premium category for online gaming, for premium price consumers expect premium product. no surprise then that some subscribers have high expectations of HT and would like them to "step up" in some areas.

Give it a rest... HTC poured everything they had into a risky all or nothing bet, and lost. They didnt do it out of neglect for the players, they did it cause it seemed like it was worthwhile. Meanwhile you sit on your bellybutton and scream 'my 15bucks!', not contributing anything to push HTC's ball forward..
Poop happens. Move on; HTC has. If you want to complain about HTC's output in NORMAL conditions, look back before CT development happened.. We were getting planes and other updates way more often, plenty to keep everyone happy, all on a tiny 4-5 man crew.
Just sit back and watch what they're going to do now that they're back to normal conditions, and THEN make your judgement. Don't judge it till it's done.

Today's devblog update:
werked on sum obscure and complx coad ezoterix that sounds like greek on a devblog, then workt on [new game feature spoiler that doesnt even look impressive thanks to being a WIP], than took 30min to write this blog post insted of gettign 30min closer to fixing the bug and finishing the now spoilt new feature.
-
If you haven't even been at this 6 months and you're bored with the 40-odd available planes, adding one or two more, or perhaps some more eye-candy, isn't going to change your long-view. I was happy enough in 1995 with essentially stick figures in AW--your enjoyment has to come from the adrenalin rush of aerial combat....if that isn't enough, (or you aren't very good at it) no amount of new planes, addons, etc are gonna make you happy :frown:
-
Put it into even more perspective: 50 cents a day.
But come on. Lighten up. These are the people who buy new cars and appliances every year or two to be trendy. Manufacturers cater to these people. Same thing, different color. This year's red is yellow.
This game cost you nothing. Play FSX every day do you? Were you able to upgrade your original Flight Simulator to FSX over the last 25 years? For free?
Sounds like to me that those of you who are "embarrassed" or "unhappy" with AH2 are essentially wasting $15 a month. Just think, you could be eating at McDonald's twice a month more.

well most of you if not all of you are in Hitech's groupie club, and i still think they should get a at least one more person to programming, if they cant go faster without, if they cant get going a little faster than at least post a insider to whats coming next on THE FRONT PAGE BULLETIN, i mean thats what its there for. and i dont feel like quitting, well maybe when i get my 1g memory stick and a FSX gold addition or something, but what most of you guys say, i would like to hear from dale his self, i start to think they say stuff to buy time, but thats very seldom of me, but still i dont usually have time to play so i just check the front bulletin and get to aces high, but they dont use the front bulletin that much anymore, but thats all i ask of now, noir knows how to put what im saying in his own better perspective

Put it into even more perspective: 50 cents a day.
But come on. Lighten up. These are the people who buy new cars and appliances every year or two to be trendy. Manufacturers cater to these people. Same thing, different color. This year's red is yellow.
This game cost you nothing. Play FSX every day do you? Were you able to upgrade your original Flight Simulator to FSX over the last 25 years? For free?
Sounds like to me that those of you who are "embarrassed" or "unhappy" with AH2 are essentially wasting $15 a month. Just think, you could be eating at McDonald's twice a month more.

new cars and appliances huh? could make more money over time if the spent more time in money in the game, it would practically run itself, and i know the same people that say it costs a lot to keep this game running are going to say it already runs itself

Quit then. HTC is doing a hell of a lot better than any other online flight sim (respectively of course). If you don't like them, leave, but don't tell them how to run the show they've been for probably 10 years, they've obviously got everything under control, and have had everything under control.

HTC is a hell of alot better than any other combat flight sim I've tried, period. And I've tried CFS, Il2, some of Third Wire's stuff, and a few others here and there. And a huge proportion of this superiority is the viewing system. I don't know why every other combat flight sim out there hasn't more or less copied this and the other outstanding features of AHII, like built-in comms.

Yes preaching to your choir. In this case whining to the whiner.

First, thanks for the complement, as an AH Trainer I NEED to be as you so eloquently put it, a "HT groupie".
One could even say I am THE HT groupie, or fanboi. I've been here doing this longer than most. And I've seen a zillion of your kind come and go.
Second, moot nailed it. If you really like AH, invest the time/money in a trip to the HTC offices. Call and let them know when your coming. Let them show you around for an hour or 2, explain how things are done. Then kick you out the door so they can get back to work. Considering all they have to do, and the limited crew that they do it with, HTC does amazing things.

All the programming in the world isn't going to change the fact that in the last full month you played, over half of your 64 kills came in gv's, and out of 131 fighter sorties, you managed 16 kills....perhaps learn how to efficiently win fights with one of the existing planes, instead of searching for some magical plane which hasn't yet been released that will suddenly help you make enemy planes fall from the sky ;)

The naivety ( I know, big word, but I hate calling people stupid) of some people just amazes me!
First off, you pay $15 to play the game "as is" you are not paying for what might come down the line. When you buy a game system you get the game system, NOT the new one that will be coming out next year. Same with the games, you buy Fallout, you get fallout, NOT Fallout II. If you are not happy with, or embarrassed with the game. leave. It's as simple as that.
Add a new programmer.... LOL!!! have you got a clue? Do you know what a decent programmer costs? As an example, my son just graduated from college with a bachelors in computer science. He was lucky and got into a security software company as one of their helpdesk techs. He repairs both hardware and software issues in the companies computers, so he is NOT a programmer. They started him at 45k, and they are teaching him to be one of their programmers. So as that as an example/starting point we could say a decent programmer is going to run in the 65k area, most likely more. With a little math, we can see that it take 360 new subscribers to cover that paycheck. How many friends do you have that YOU can get subscribed? :D
I want, give me, give me!!! WHAAAAAAAAAA !!!! Grow up, nothing in life is perfect, and NO ONE is going to cater to you for anything except all the spoiling mommy and daddy have done.

The context is that HTC can pop out updates just fine, when they're not bogged down with a huge side project. I won't deny that I have the same pov as your friend.. Years gone by and very very little new in the game. But I take it for what it is, in its context.
-
well maybe when i get stuck to the game and get to platinum i can answer that, and you cant learn much when everyone does the same. what have you contributed to the game, besides almost 10,000 posts?
A Hell of a lot more than you will ever contribute to this community.

i havent seen one new plane added to aces high since i started playing around a year ago, one tank, but this is supposed to be a FLYING game. and for gods sake, you would think that after so many requests for the HE-111, HT would finally listen. i dont think they even read these forums. :huh

The last update in which HTC added an aircraft was in April of 2008 (this year) in V2.12 when they added the P39D and Q and remodeled the task fleet, along with many other plane updates. The P39 and the T34/85 were both wished for constantly here on the forums.
Edit; sorry, it was March.

Game programmers usually make more. For an example, we just hired a new programmer and graphic artist in our new NA studio and the programmers starting salary (he's only 1 year out of college) is close to $80k and the graphic artist (3 years out of college + 1 year at another major game studio) starting salary is slightly over $100k. Granted, we are a big studio/development/publisher and can afford to pay that kind of salary but a development/studio house like HTC I'm willing to bet that kind of salary will be tough to offer.

You forgot the B-25H and C models. That makes it four planes added with the last year in addition to upgrading a few more planes to the current AH2 standards.

You got me...I'm actually a former CIA agent that used to fly Vipers in Operation Desert Storm and have 2 Iraqi MiG-29 kills to my credit. After being retired for 15 years, I was called to active duty and am currently undergoing transition training from the F/A-18D to the E/F model before being shipped to my squadron in Mirimar. In my free time I'm developing the end all of end all flight sims, called TAS. That is if I don't manage to get bit by a red scorpion or get brain cancer.
All joking aside, yes I do work at Square Enix.

Now that CT is out of the picture it'll be exciting to see what happens with the game.

It's not guaranteed that it's totaly out of the picture.. They haven't said they're scrapping all the work done so far. It's just not being pursued as CT for the time being. e.g. you could easily speculate that they might take what was developed for CT and add it to the game, if it fits.

I mean, it's not like you didn't bring it upon yourself, with what is basically a snap of your finger demand for HTC to "step it up" and cater to your whims or with your insulting posts when things didn't go your way and people disagreed with you. You're just an innocent victim in all of this.
