I am just curious.... with such a great game do those who made it, run it, and keep it going actually play anymore? I never see "Pyro landed 6 victories in an RV-8 of the AH Creators" I never see "Skuzzy shot you down -- come back when you are worthy" messages. I have never had the pleasure of shooting down "HiTech". And, since Waffle joined up, I have not seen him in the sky.
Or have I? Do the HTC employees still log on and play the game but under a nom de plume?
It is great that they put such effort into providing the entertainment that we sometimes take for granted, but I would really like to know if they still get the pleasure of playing themselves.
So how about it guys/gals...... Do you still play and are you willing to divulge under what name?
-
I heard they come on under the name MidEvil or Tripl5

I saw Waffle online a few times after he started working at HTC, but the poor guy was so molested (some complaining, some just being friendly) it couldn't of been that much fun for him.
Hitech was often on the squad channel of my first AH squad, but that stopped some time ago.
Skuzzy still owes me a night in the Main Arena flying P38s for the 'Princess Ginger' incident. Besides, it is about time the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Consortium of 12 ex officio of SAPP makes an appearance.
-
I had some dweeb named HiTech flying behind me in the beta arena the first day. ;) I've also seen Waffle and Pyro on rare occasions.
-
Aside from betas, conventions, and such, I haven't seen anyone from HT on in a while. Used to run into Waffle periodically, but I think the game is probably far less fun when it's your job, and people are squeaking at you constantly.
-

Am I the only one that thought this was funny?

Been a while, but seen most of them in random arenas. Seen HiTech in DA and MW, He lost his Uber Tempest to another dweeb. :P
-
I think we should take the fact that HiTech had to have people explain to him what fields looked like at one of the convention Q&A sessions when someone complained about the clustered VHs at VBases as a clue to how much HiTech plays. He never even knew that the ack in towns was the 88mm puffy until someone brought it up at that convention (at which point he put it on the fix list).
-
I've seen them playing just a handful of times. When they are on they're constantly hounded and bombarded with silly questions. If I were them I'd play under a shade name. But this game is their jobs. When 5 oclock comes around they're probably sick of it for the day.
-
Hitech flew with the Allies in the DGS Scenario in a Mustang. He had a 262 kill at one point. He was flying under a different ID
-
Used to see Hitech & Skuzzy winging together in the other Sim. I expect they were hunting Wildbill :rofl
Years ago you would see them in here but the hassle they get is incredible ....PM's 200 and the like. Hence skuzzy's "arena reset in 10 min...puuuffff" short announcements.
In another post Hitech said they use shades when playing / testing.
-
Uhmm,..was not me. Pyro maybe. I was not part of this mad house scene until Aces High came around. And there is no way HiTech would ever allow me to wing with him. I am too bad of a pilot. At one time, I think his comment was, "you have to be the worst pilot I have ever seen".
If you want to be a bad pilot, I am your perfect role model. :)
-
I would love a shot at HT. Just to give him a pilot wound.
I dont even care if I loose the fight. So long as I get to give him a pilot wound :rofl
Skuzzy. You can wing with me if you want.
I need fresh bait ;)
-
I imagine they must have shades. (don't go out on a witch hunt)
I remember about a year or so ago, it wasn't uncommon to see Waffle or Superfly in the arena. I remember one particular incident when Waffle was sniping my osti with a B-25H from 3K away or so. Was getting me pretty ticked :mad: :lol
-
Do you still play and are you willing to divulge under what name?
They used to play frequently.
Then the player base went to feces.
They don't play much anymore.
-
I think you'd be surprised. I'm sure they visit under shades to test the waters. They can hardly fly these days under their known names.
Think about that a minute the next time you choose to rant on someone, or bust loose on some noob.The someone you jump on may be the powers that be. :aok
Makin' a list and checkin' it twice......
-
I've GV'd with Waffle recently.
-
HiTech was one of the first people to ever shoot me down (in the AH2 beta). What a welcome, eh? :)
Superfly flew a few KoTH's as I recall.
I am curious to see just how much they fly these days. I feel if you have a few hours to sit down and make it work for you, Aces High is the absolute best game on Earth, but if you only have a half hour here or there, it can often feel like the worst. I wonder how much they get to put into it.
-
I wonder how much they get to put into it.
Well let's see.... the creators of all we see in the game..... maybe just their hearts and souls. That is my guess. :aok

Yep....your right...twas Pyro. Had far to many beers over the years to have 100% recollection :aok
P.S looking at me watch....Tuesday hint hint. :)
-
Granted it was awhile ago but one of my all time favorite kills was when I got HT. My friend Mathman was fighting him in this drawn out brawl, looked like a really good fight from my perch a few thousand feet about them, then just as Math was getting the angles and saddling up I swooped in and stole the kill, it was priceless. :)
Math gave me hell about that for years afterwards. :D
-
I have film of skuzzy shooting a friendly just like a newbie, in the beta arena.
Now if only there was a way to view it.

Watch the film Skuzzy posted demo'ing the beta - he's a mouse-wielding toolshedder. Probably why he's shunned by HT. ;)

I see a superfly every now and again, not sure if it's the one that works for HTC though...

Mathman
Blast from the past CPID... where did he get off to?

I meant playing time you sarcastic bomber pilot, you :furious :D
I didn't mean offense in the last post. Like I said, if you have an hour or two, there's a million things in this game that can keep you interested (and frankly, if you only have a half hour, there's still plenty to make you wish you had more). It's just with a half hour to play here or there, your chances of spending your sortie having [insert whine] happen repeatedly are pretty good.

Hey! I simply do not have room for a stick at home. I could not get anyone to come over to the field and shoot me down. Go figure.

He was a good sport about it as well. I forgot I had changed ICON colors and well,...oops. I r killsh00trd mys3lf!

That coming from HiTech is a bad thing. I have seen him fly, and wow, just wow, was sad. :P I can only imagine you if you're worse! :D
Just trip on a wire when you're in trouble!
-

We can fix that...
Have HiTech come hang out with us in the training arena some time, and I'm positive someone who just downloaded the game and never flight simmed before can supplant you as the worst pilot we ever saw :lol
-
I'm pretty sure I shot up Waffle....he was in a Shark with frikken laser beams
-
Rook in joke
Well aware, sir. :) <---Rook
-
Blast from the past CPID... where did he get off to?
Haven't spoken to him in awhile, last time I did he was off doing serious life related things like new job, new wife, etc. Was a shame really... he had such a promising career ahead of him in cartoon dweebery. :)
-
They prolly got some souped up version of 8-player. Where they fight for kills that equal instant money tranfers from bank accounts. Yes , I am crazy.. Tuk151 :salute

Squad name?
Im pretty sure they're cowboys from hell. :lol

They fly under shades, the most prominent ones being "Stang, ROX, Delirium, oDALLASo, and BluKitty".

well then skuzzy I guess I am your protege.... hence the arena name "LawnDart"
-

I remember Vanscrew complaining to superfly during a Joker mission, only thing vans got in reply was "Stop Crying" :lol
-
I remember when Flayed1 found where HiTech kept air-spawning his flying PT boat. Flayed flew circles in his B26 "gunship" popping HiTech repeatedly when he appeared.
-
I remember seeing Skuzzy in the Beta arena. Just on the roster though, I didn't care to look for him in the air.

I started playing online flight sims around 1991 I believe. There are times like scenarios I have had fun playing with some old time friends who started playing at the same time. But when you turn a hobby into a job, a lot of the fun of the hobby is not the same. The biggest thing you loose is being able to be yourself.
I was given the name HiTech on my first professional job after Collage. You make friends with who you are, and your name is part of that. In the arena today there is really no way I can play as HiTech. Think of what it would be like for you, if you went to play a game to relieve stress and have fun, and 5 people are complaining about something to you. It very quickly kills the reason you were playing in the first place.
I do on occasion fly under my alias. But for 2 years until this past January my life was very busy dating my now wife. The other thing that removes the immersion for me, is that when ever I fly I always see things I want to change in the game. (do not ask, the list is longer than any wish list here).

I understand how that works. There's been a few games that I decided not to play because this ID was too short or somehow didn't fit the requirements.
-
I hope you still get some enjoyment out of your involvment in this industry/hobby, HiTech.

HiTech
Not meaning in any any to sound disrespectful.
But it seems to me that is one of the big reasons you should play. Maybe not for hours on end every day. But frequent enough to maintain a feel for whats going on in the game.
We can rant and rave all we want. and some of our rants may be valid and some may not. But unless your regularly involved in actually being in the game. You are primarily going by what people say or show you on film. Or what your staff reports to you. And and while helpful. Thats just not the same as experiencing these things yourself personally.
As Patton used to say. "One first hand observation is worth 1,000 reports."
I know I know. Your probably your own worst critic. Im the same way in my business and thats a good thing to be.
The trick is in knowing where and when to stop and say "enough." And what things really should be done.
Cause sometimes. The more you try to fix something. The more screwed up it becomes.
You see things you want to change. Thats what you have new releases and patches for. Then maybe that list wouldnt be so long :)
-
Heck if you see something you want to change... shoot it :)
-
Back in the day, the community was small enough that when the crew talked in blue text they were taking questions, and when they weren't...they were playing the game so leave them alone. Was fun fighting the FUBAR squad once in awhile :salute

DREDIOCK: Do us both a favor and tend to your own business and not mine. Because it is precisely of people like you who make this game completely unplayable for me , and a simple topic like this becomes a discussion of how you think I should run my business rather than a fun chat for all.

HiTech
My my. arent we a little over sensitive tonight
Now I thought I said I was in no way trying to be disrespectful. (yup. I just looked and thats exactly what I said) And I wasnt tryng to be.
You of all people should know that when you put up a post like the one I responded to. Your leaving yourself open to opnion and comment.
Just as I am. or anyone else is whenever something is posted.
If I didnt make that comment. Someone else probably would have made a similar one. And in all likely hood alot more people would be thinking it
You and I both know that i know by now that whatever I or anyone else has to say. You are going to end up doing things exactly the way you want.
Just as I do.
And by the way I sometimes get advise or comments or opinions on how to do things also. But I dont try to bite the flipping head of someone who says them.
I either ignore what they had to say knowing it wont work or I think about it and give it a shot.
Seems to me that by and large Im usually by and large and with few exceptions pretty complimentary and supportive when it comes to you and HTC as a whole. So do tell. what exactly is it that "I" do that makes the game unplayable for you?
Hell I dont even pester your staff whenever they do show up in the arenas other then in a jovial way. My last comment to a staff member was to Skuzzy when I jokingly asked him if we could have a cookie.
So what is it. What terrible screwed up thing do I personally do that makes this game unplayable for you?
-
I heard they come on under the name MidEvil or Tripl5
lol
-
If Hitech plays he wants to enjoy his game. I am sure (don't want to put words in his mouth) he don't want alot of questions, suggestions, complaints, or general who - what- why -when type of banter. When he plays he wants to enjoy it like most of us do...and I completely understand. And I would think thats goes with the entire staff. If I see any of them on I give a quick <S> and be done with it.
DuHasst

Only to show the method.
Not meaning to be disrespectful, but DREDIOCK you are a complete and unter incompetent moron.
You have no clue how to write, treat people or run your own business.
You are a clueless dolt when it comes to knowing what is and is not respectful, or at what time it is or is not appropriate to post what you think.
You a one of the most arrogant jerks I have met to think that in any way you have the knowledge or know how to understand what I do, and if I should or should not play more.
Please do not take any offense because I am not being disrespectful at all of you by this writing.
Or back to the real mode.
DREDIOCK a simple word of advise if you feel then need to write "Not meaning to be disrespectful, but " the odds are that you are being very disrespectful, and you were in many ways and are still are continuing to be. with sentences like. "My my. arent we a little over sensitive tonight" are saying that "DREDIOCK ais right and can say anything he wishes and it must be someone else who to me the wrong way".
Drediock, if everyone posts as you did and do, It would be impossible for me to have a personable conversation with anyone.
On a final note, I should have just deleted your post and been done with it.
HiTech

And we see demonstrated in this very thread; the reason he needs an alias...
At this rate, HT, you should really join AoM. You'd fit right in and, to boot, would have a sort of semi-retarded support group to help with the abuse. :D

Back on topic... Are you still flying the 38 often, or has some other plane caught your interest? If it is still the 38, do you ever try a SAPP landing?

Oh I now i can be arrogant and abrasive. I admit that
LOL but when have I ever felt the need to use a pretence?
Usually I just sink teeth and spit it out.
When i said "not meaning to be disrespectful. I really meant that
Ok look.
This to me is obviously a HUGE misunderstanding. Maybe bacause of my reputation it came off in a way I didnt intend it to.
My true intent was only to provide food for thought based on what I thought you said
Maybe I read your post wrong. Maybe I should have worded my post better. Maybe its all of the above.
In any event. I am truely sorry if you took it to be disrespectful or took offence in any way,shape or form.
I apologise for my part of the misunderstanding.
And I do really mean that
-
38? Did he say 38? If Hitech joins SAPP we will have a disturbance in the Force. The Consortium Of Twelve would be shuffled.
Consortium of 12
Skuzzy = Grand Exalted Ruler of the Consortium of 12 ex officio
CokryJR = Exalted Ruler pro tempore
Raptor = Exalted Ruler pro tempore emeritus
AKAK= Esteemed Leading Knight of Oxygen and altitidue
Murdr = Esteemed Loyal Knight of the Duct Tape
Shuffler = Esteemed Lecturing Knight of the Blender
Estes = Gracious Secretary
Delirium = Treasurer
Soulyss= Inner Guard
SaVage = Esquire
Mensa = Eunuch
Fianna = Organist

Come to the dark side HT :devil.

Hey peeps at HTC,
If any of you have fought me under an alias I hope I gave you a fun few minutes of gaming experience, or at the very least a nice death/target. If it was not for the loss of fun you suffer creating the game SO much fun for other people would never have existed. Thanks for that sacrifice.

I see the whole HTC crew on all the time. They can't fly worth a flip and they are VERY easy to kill. They also fly around in a continuous circle...

In the arena today there is really no way I can play as HiTech. Think of what it would be like
Half the arena following you around, and the other half trying to kill you. While getting endless questions and salutes.
Am I getting warm? MARCO? -------------polo! :x

I have shot down skuzzy once about 2 years ago, it was over tank town and he was about 1.5k in his 38 doing GV runs and I slid in behind him and gave him a familiar lesson :)
-
I totally understand that HiTech and the rest of the guys dont play much.
I work as a systems architect/developer and Ive never ever used any of the public online applications Ive been part of building. Reason isnt that they are bad, that I dont care about my customer satisfaction or my own evolution as a architect/developer. The reason is that after having spent 8-10 hours a day for months developing an application you just need to see something else.
At least I need to distance my self from my work for about 4-6 hours a day or I wount produce as well. I know that when I spend more then 10 hours a day looking at my code or the application it self my head starts to become a mess. When this happens the quality of the work I do decreases just because I see so much that needs to be done that I loose focus on whats important.
Usually when the project is under the most preasure and deadlines are approaching rapidly the best thing I can do is to never ever work more then 10 hours and when I get home do totally different things. That is how at least my production is as high as possible.
After a project is complete I dont want to use the application just because I know everything about it. I can imagine HiTech having bit of same problem he doesnt see a Online Multiplayer flight sim but rather just code and ofcourse customers (not friends). Reason to play this game is imersion of a sim and friends.

I am pretty sure HiTech flies under the alias "SCLawman".
I am just curious....
-
HiTech and Crew.... I can certainly see why you cannot and do not fly under your own names. It is a shame that you are not able to fly unfettered; but clearly, too many would hit you up for one stupid comment or another (or another freakin B-29 with nooks request).
I also did not mean to stir anything up. I do understand that psychology of turning play into work... hard to go back as play. For that I am sorry. I do hope that at times you are able to enjoy the game as much as (most of us) do.
The original point of the topic was to find out if any of you still fly. I would like to think that you too partake in the game and enjoy it with us. I was curious if I had ever met you in the cartoon skies and gotten owned. :salute But, since I get owned on a regular basis by so many, I can only assume by laws of averages that you have in fact pwned me. :O So, what kind of business practice is that... shooting down your customers! :D

But when you turn a hobby into a job, a lot of the fun of the hobby is not the same.
I started playing in a professional band when I was 15.
I got into the music business when I was about 20 and spent the next 20+ years there in retail, then distribution, then Internet climbing into the executive ranks along the way.
Over that time I never lost my love for music; particularly live music. In fact, my love and appreciation for it grew although in my 40's I wasn't able to go out clubbing until 1:30 AM or spend all night at shows every night and be at work by 8:00 or 8:30 the way I was able to in my 20's.
If the Internet hadn't fundamentally changed the industry I'd probably still be there and still be loving my hobby as a job.

I have not lost enjoyment of computer games.
I have not lost enjoyment of coding.
I have not lost enjoyment of airplanes.

Hitech, in your opinion, will we get to a point (computing power-wise) in our lifetime where differences between real aerodynamics and their simulation will be just about negligible in a game like AH?

Good question. This game is already so far beyond my wildest dreams from when I was a kid and played MS flight sim back in the 80's. I used to dream about just being able to play against one real person rather than AI planes. Now we have these massive arenas and good flight modeling. I hope I live a long time, obviously for a lot of reasons, but also just to see what these wizards come up with by and by.

I would say they are negligible already.
But will flying a game like AH be like real life, nope missing far to many sensory inputs to be the same, and the market is not there to create the output and input devices to make them the same.

hehe... how to simulate G's, a suit that has air bags all over that inflate and deflate as you pull G's. Just plug it in to a USB port. Or you could just get cheap one that constricts around your neck when you pull really hard on the stick :O

I remember reading books about WWII aviation when I was a kid, before there were home computers, dreaming about airplanes, wishing I could fly them, thinking my kid thoughts about having been born 40 years too late.
Aces High is a wonderful miracle of wish fulfillment for me! :aok

Constricts your neck???? can you imagine the liability.
I can see the headlines.
Grape dies with hands on stick with goofy thing around his neck.

But will flying a game like AH be like real life, nope missing far to many sensory inputs to be the same, and the market is not there to create the output and input devices to make them the same.
It is impossible to completely simulate the physical sensations of flight without actually leaving the ground. Even full motion simulators can't give one a sustained high G maneuver.
I am not a math or programming expert, but I have done some Finite Element Analysis. When modeling the physical world, assumptions must be made on factors such as friction and heat transfer. At best, these assumptions are educated guesses. It would seem that modeling aerodynamics would also require some assumptions. My point is the actual physical world is often too chaotic to perfectly model.

ROFLMAO... :noid

Don't need that if you've got direct brain-computer interface :)

I want to feel the pilot wound. :aok

Sounds like the Thailand death of David Carradine!

All of this brings back memories of the discussions from Air Warrior days on the nut clamp (for simulating g loads :) ).

Could not find said nut clamp on E-bay. It does not exist...Anymore. :noid

Try looking under "wife" and you should be able to find all types of constricting, suffocating, and generally unpleasant items.

I have not lost enjoyment of computer games.
I have not lost enjoyment of coding.
