New screen shot equals sexiness, anyone agree?
Keep up the great work HTC :aok
-
It's gonna look good!
I'm pretty excited for this patch, they still haven't announced if there will be any aircraft added to the list. Hopefully they announce soon! :pray

Wow. Just wow. I salute the peopel who slave away at the keyboards in Texas. Poor souls. :salute

Must be something wrong with me. I've never equated this game with sexiness in any way, shape, or form :confused:

Obviously, bear doesnt fly the very sexy light bomber p38, nor is he human and get those type of tendancies.
Im just wondering if I have to buy a new $3,000 computer again.

Well... there is one and only one airplane more sexy than the Spit XVI and it isnt in this game (yet). The Mustang Ia or P51 is the sexiest airplane ever made!
:aok
Close behind it of course would be the A36 Apache. :D

The new terrain would literally make a nice landscape to hang on the wall.
When the terrain gets updated, people will be printing out their screen-shots, framing them, and hanging them up in the living room.

thats not a bad idea. if you get a nice shot of you're aircraft flying or in combat it could make a nice print out. :P

You need to stop buying computers from the big sellers. A computer not meant for 3D art and/or design shouldn't cost that much.
Mine was a super-gamer back in its day for $1100, and it's still going nearly five years later.

You can make your own computer now for 800 bucks, its still a lot for some people but it sure beats buying a name brand one for 1,800 that does the same thing.

I'm not so sure the new version will be a huge extra drain on any reasonably up to date PC. Currently AH is CPU limited on most players' PCs. The video card has to sit idling a lot of the time between frames waiting for the CPU to get done with all the flight physics etc. I suspect a lot of the new version's extra workload will be done by the video card so AH will just use the available hardware more efficiently. Pyro said that people with really old PCs will have the option of a worse looking terrain so they can maintain FPS.

Looks great, is it me or is HTC hinting as to which map will be used first when new patch comes out :aok
:salute HTC

Not at all. All MA terrains use the same tilesets, so if you change the tileset you pretty much just have to press "rebuild" in the Terrain Editor. Maybe not even that.

Nope, HTC said that there'll be different terrain styles with this update. Pyro said that NDIsles is Pacific based.
On top of that, I'm pretty sure that this is a complete rebuild of the terrain system, not just a new MA tileset. I've never seen anywhere near that kind of resolution with current tiles, and the way it blends doesn't look like tiles at all.

+1 there is much more to this than just a change of the textures, the "world" itself is getting updated.

So does this mean that we might be getting new maps in general?

I assume map makers have their maps going to submission, like Greebo's craterMA. For the most part, I believe you'll see the new tiles on the old terrains. Regardless, it'll look like a completely different map.
-
Oh yea CraterMA looks real nice. :aok

No, but perhaps they will update the terrain editor, making it easier to make MA-usable maps, thus having more map makers, and more maps.
