I found this game when looking for flight sims of this style.
Having purchased just about every flightsim to come out, I've come to the conclusion
that any flightsim that tries high-graphics ends up being completely unplayable.
I want a flightsim which is LOW-graphics, HIGH-flight-model.
I do not want a compromise on flight for graphics.
Lag and poor frame-rates are not my priority in purchasing this game.
I will not be upgrading my computer for the new version.
I will not be running it in high-graphics mode if given the choice.
I will be taking my money elsewhere if forced into a frame-lag-fest.

You might want to wait until the latest version comes out of Beta as they're still working things out with it.

Enjoy European Air War for the next thirty years. Very high framerates.
-
at lo res on the graphics i get a 59 frame rate in the Beta. You will be fine
-

I figure it's better to let them know now.
Looks like they've decided on a route which is obviously wrong,
tools should be dropped and time-wasting stopped before anymore
resources are dumped into a project that is doomed to fail.
High-graphics flightsims DO NOT WORK.
So.... If they can afford to lose my subscription, along with a lot of other ppl....
Good on em. Seen it happen before, don't want to watch it happen again.

Just make sure you cancel your account before you even know whether how well your computer runs the new version.
Your FR should go up BTW.
High-graphics flightsims DO NOT WORK.
The Flight Simulator series is pretty popular, and it looks fantastic.

Oh I'd be happy to be wrong.
History tells me I'm not.

AHII, even with the upgrades, is hardly a 'high-resolution" flight sim. It will look nice, but any decent MODERN computer should be able to handle it just fine. Some of us like progress. Hell, why not stick with wire-frame graphics... then we can dig-out our old Tandy 1000's and have a blast.

Yup, this update might have been considered high- end graphics if it came out like two years ago, certainly not today.

And sticking to the same graphics forever is obviously right? :lol
-
Aren't GPUs of no help to flight physics, and the new graphics improvements strictly GPU stuff? And as far as the OP's point goes, you can turn down the graphics in the next version. I reckon you're likely to get even better FPS that now, in that mode. It could be that coading holy grail.. Everybody's happy.

If they do not upgrade the graphics periodically new subscribers will fall below replenishment levels and the company will fail. Graphics may not matter to you, but they are very high among the things that get people to try the game out, or not try it out.

Seems to me....
1 - HTC typically goes out of its way in not coming out with too super duper graphics so as to accommodate the widest range of systems out there. From low end to high end. I've personally seem people complain that "the graphics are behind other games." even with new releases
2- in each version of the game I've seen. they have all had detail settings in the preferences that allowed even those with lower end machines to run the game reasonably well. Again. to accommodate the largest range of PCs out there.
3 -Refer to 1 and 2 . Unlike some games that come out where you damn near have to have a machine that isnt even available yet just to play at their lowest settings. (yeat thats an exaggeration but you get my point)
4 - Its been my experience. both personal and by witness that HTC and its player base are pretty damn good at helping players out with problems running the game. HTC with system tweaks and some players occasionally outright giving away spare parts they may have to help another player out. I myself did as much a year or so ago.
And someone did as much for me once.
Can I promise you that someone will be willing or able to give you what you need to keep playing? No.I cant even promise you that you can be helped at all.
But you aint gonna get it this way
I can however promise you that if you come in respectfully and without stomping your feet throwing a temper tantrum and threatening to take your ball and go home.That there is alot of help that can be had here. Try the hardware & software forum.
Final point.
Assuming you cant be helped. Is HTC supposed to keep using old graphics just to accommodate you? Perhaps they should roll back the software to atari 2600 standards instead?
You rcomment of "Having purchased just about every flightsim to come out, I've come to the conclusion
that any flightsim that tries high-graphics ends up being completely unplayable"
Nonsense. they just become uplayable to on machines that cant handle them.
Upgrading is as inevitable as the sun rising. Machines are only going to get faster and able to handle more. And with that The software does too to take advantage of the newer systems.
They dont stand pat forever, and they dont go backwards. And neither is going to wait up forever for you or me

If you like Aces High currently, you should like the update when it comes out as it will be the same flight model. The only flight modeling that is changing is the Me163 and that is mostly a fuel burn/throttle setting for the bird and they posted that change well in advance of release.

LMAO bro...

Also have an old copy of Command and Conquer
Your complaint has been officially recorded :frown:

Whats your in game name Mr yellow?
how long have you been playing this game.
I have been flying since tour 74 and have blown up 4 comps
and at least 9 joysticks. not sure how many upgrades there have been
since i joined but it has always been worth the coin and the time.
the only reason for your post is to record your complaint.
Well........nice work kid, if you been around for any stretch of time at all you
would know that the big boards are brutal and mostly unforgiving for lame post like this one
but hey....i would bet your just a kid and also new to the community but if you stay, you will learn or just go away.
nuff said.
-
things have changed a lot since tour 39, I remember there was one big upgrade that seemed to wash out a noticeable # of people, but it was a long time ago. The Game has really improved over the years, can't wait to see the new stuff.
The trolls remain the same though
-

Regardless of anything else, your post does seem to confirm that you've already made up your mind, as those "ultra melon" posts pointed out. Otherwise how do you explain that
1) your assessment is based on a WIP piece of software
2) your assessment ommits the fact that you can disable the eye candy for quite possibly an improvement in frame rate.

Seriously, if your original comments were genuine, it's you opinion and you are entitled to them. We all have our likes and dislikes. Simple though, if you like it, stay. If you don't, go. Attacking the game that most all of us love is not the way to receive a warm welcome from the community at large. You opened yourself up for the barrage by doing so. Something of this nature is best handled by calling HTC directly and not billowing smoke in here. Things have happened within the game that I haven't liked over the past 40 tours or so but overall, I love it and will be playing for many years to come. I have gone from a couple single core systems to dual core, and in a few months, I'll be building a few quad systems to ensure that I'm able to handle whatever is thrown at it. What's that word . . . . . . . . . . . . . oh, evolution. Go with the flow or get back to the abacus and pickup Styx. And remember one thing that many of our fathers have told us, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Good luck on your journey. And for someone who used to do this as a job, remember, spell checking is for free.

Who says you HAVE to be on max resolution? If you're only shooting at cartoon planes, turn down the resolution, and save yourself some FR. If it turned down all the way don't work for the new BETA version, then you probably need a new computer anyways.

Doesnt matter... In the next version he can have the game as ugly as he likes (worse than possible in current version) with more FPS than we get now. His post's only remaining valid point is that he doesn't care what anyone replies with:I do not want a compromise on flight for graphics.
No such thing.
-
Must have one piss poor computer or internet connection...my little dual core 2.4Ghz system with a 9600gt is getting 75 fps using the 512 graphics mode...and no lag.
As far as your assertion of high graphics flight sims not working...leads me to believe you haven't tried IL2...the graphics in there makes all of these mmofs look like arcade games...and it works very well.

Honestly, if you want to take a look at Decent graphics, look at IL2, and see how well their doing.
My only question is, how could someone spend $150 on high end stuff, and they having problems, wile I, only spent $65 on a decnet Vid card, and with out the shadowing, everything turned up, I get a solid 50 FR?

I see your new to the game. You can turn down the graphics now as you will be able to in the next release. Down to just about where your square can shoot down the other square.
So before you go try to have your own custom game coded and spend thousands of dollars there.... you might want to learn more about this game.

I sort of feel some sympathy for the guy.
I used to buy computer equipment regularly to keep up with games.
Not so much anymore. When my expensive video card broke a few years ago I dug one out of the pile of retired video cards and slapped it into the gaming rig. I got tired of the large monitor and downgraded to a 17 inch flat screen that was laying in the closet.
My gaming computer is still AGP. $75 would get me a video card that would easily run the Beta. $75 is a minor cost. I lose that much cash in my pockets on a weekly basis when it hits the laundry.
So where has my desire to upgrade gone to?
Well, the upgrades don't really change the game.
Fancy ground and water on a computer still looks like crap even if it is photo-realistic crap. The polygon count to make terrain look like anything remotely real from a fast moving airplane isn't achievable and won't be for a while.
And I have long believed that high polygon aircraft are wasted in a game with icons on.
The aerial fight is all I'm interested in and that isn't changing much, if at all. There are 6 arenas with essentially identical gameplay.
I am constantly amazed at how difficult it is to find a aerial fight in an arena with literally hundreds of players. After 11 PM central time it is extremely difficult to find a bandit outside the ack.
So......I guess I feel sympathy for the guy. More money for the same pig with new color lipstick. But I've been dating this pig for almost 13 years so I guess I'll plunk down my nickels if I absolutely have to. But you can be darn sure if i can milk a steady 24 frames out of a 6 year old clunker with a pre-historic video card I will not upgrade.
Whine over.
:cry
-
Sounds like to me you are unhappy with what the game is and are looking for an exscuse to quit
Just dont blame HTC !! they are doing what they have wanted froim the start , create a game that all will enjoy for a minimum amount .

Oh I'd be happy to be wrong.
History tells me I'm not.
-Ben
Could you please tell us all what games you've created, designed or developed and successfully put into market?
ack-ack

HTC is trying to retain all of the current players. HiTech has posted that if 95% stay, it will be too low.
I agree with the priority of simulation over eye candy. But, in the early 21st century, we can have both.
Consider the cost per hour of this game as entertainment. Factor in a complete new computer, spread out over three years. It is still a bargain compared to most other mainstream hobbies like golf, hunting or fishing.
And the new computer can be used for all other non AH2 software.
WARNING - Cost estimates do not include divorce, jewelry (bribes) or other marital expenses.

One thing that continually amazes me are the whiners who complain about having to spend money. Free to download and you'll spend $179.40 per year on subscription. To hold your own in any situation you'll need to spend $538.20 by my reckoning. Heck thats less than 50 cents a day! Not a lot of stuff out there that has minimum specs like this -
Minimum Recommended
Operating System 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista
CPU 1GHz Pentium 4
System RAM/Memory 512MB
Video Card DirectX 9 compatible with 64MB of RAM
Input Devices Keyboard and mouse
Internet Connection Modem dial-up
Dont want to spend any money? later dude........

MrYellow have you read the forums? Have you tried the beta? Have you turned down the graphics? Hitech posted they have seen improved frame rates from the previous versions.
Well I for one am glad the game is moving forward.

Funny I took the beta for a spin offline and I was getting better frame rates than old aces high around problem area like trees and ack.
I would agree that for games like il2 it is too much even with it turned right down graphics wise it still lacks smoothness, I can't see aces high being that way one of the great things about it is you can adjust so many settings to suit, compare that to il2 and ww2 online none of these games offer so much user friendly adaptabilty in as many areas, and they suffer badly for it.

Next is view out my right wing with the new card, I spent about 180$ for the upgrade, yours would probably be cheaper because i have a slim tower and required a special low profile video card.

My gaming computer is still AGP. $75 would get me a video card that would easily run the Beta. $75 is a minor cost. I lose that much cash in my pockets on a weekly basis when it hits the laundry.
Can I please do your laundry? :rofl

Dawger is one of my favorites, from WarBirds way back or so. I still remember a long-running Ki.61 vs P-38 fight we had so long ago.
Canna remember who won; just that it was a great battle.
Seems obvious to me the poster cares about what we think, or he wouldn't have posted here. Hope he is the sort that takes a second look and is willing to spend some $$ to upgrade, or experiment with reduced settings for better FR.
<S> all.
And Drediock will Favre don Purple this year,and will it be worth it?

Oh I'd be happy to be wrong.
History tells me I'm not.
-Ben
Could you please tell us all what games you've created, designed or developed and successfully put into market?
ack-ack
He's obviously talking out of his.. err.. umm
Anal orifice.
What he should be saying is. "flight sims that go to high end graphics dont work for HIM"
I've ben playing with flght sims either single player or online for a long time too. Going back some 25 years on a C64.
Flight sims dont go under because of high end graphics. They go under either because the novelty has worn off. Often do to lack of improvements/advancements (Same game different map) or because the company has run it into the ground or simply decided they arent going ot support it anymore.
I've yet to see one single flight sim that died because it went to higher and graphics.
I'll paint you a picture of whats really going on here.
What you have is someone who always goes "cheap"
Someone who is so cheap they make Ebenezer Scrooge look like a bonafide philanthropist.
Probably buys the least expensive system he can find in a store and thinking because its "new" He should be able to do everything short of create life with it.
Not taking into account that the only thing "new" about that super duper el cheapo deal he got is the fact that the parts in it hadnt been used yet.
but the technology is already old.
So he gets this Yugo home and checks out the games hes' been wanting to play for the last two years but couldnt because his last Model T machine couldnt handle it. Sure enough he can play. But only for a short while because those games are also evolving to take advantage of the newer technology. Pretty soon he's on the outside looking in.
So he keeps this dinosaur around for a couple of years refusing to upgrade because "Hey. this is a brand new computer. I shouldnt have to upgrade"
And then when it comes time where he decides to buy a "newer" machine. Does he learn form his past experiences? Nooooooo
He sees a sale in a store for a really visually nice looking computer he can get for $1.99 that come with a monitor and printer (Arguably often the best part of those "deals") And he thinks because its "new" He should be good to go
Pretty soon hes right back to where he was before. Not enough system to run the stuff he wants to run.
Disgusted. he get ticked off
But...Instead of placing the blame where it belongs. On himself. He blames the game makers. Or the machine.
I know this picture because I've seen it time and again with my sister in laws.
Wife comes home.
"My sister just bought a really nice new computer for nephew/neice. and she said she got a really good deal on it. Only (insert el cheapo amount) and it even came with a monitor and printer. How come yours cost twice as much and you didnt get all that?"
"Well what did she get?"
"I dont know. but it looks really nice and the guy at the store said its a good one"
"Yea ok. At that price I doubt its a good one. How long before I start getting the phone calls to find to whats wrong."
Now fast forward 6 months
"My sister is having a problem with their computer. she just got her son the new XXXGame for his birthday and he cant get it to load. she thinks maybe they have a virus. I told her you would stop by after work and take a look at it for her."
"gee thanks for volunteering me"
Head over to sister in laws house and look at the machine. look at the game. look at the machine again.
"this game wont run on this machine"
"Why not?"
"It doesnt meet minimum requirements."
"What do you mean it doesnt meet the minimum requirements?? Thats a brand new computer. I just got it 6 months ago. the guy at the store said it was a good one.'
"Well. two years ago. it was a good one..actually it was a decent one. Now..not so much. But hey. thats a really nice monitor and printer you have there, and that uber desk you bought with the money you saved is really something"
I kept telling her time and time again. Dont always go cheap. If your going ot do anything but look at email and surf the web. Dont buy without me. If you do. Get the most expensive one you can afford.
She only listened to me once. and that machine they still use 3 years later but hey one out of 4 aint so bad. right?
THAT is what we're probably dealing with
-
And Drediock will Favre don Purple this year,and will it be worth it?
General concensus seems to be yes.
Worth it? Depends on how well the shoulder surgery turns out.
One thing is for sure. He cant possibly be worse then what we have now.
Jackson will make a decent backup somewhere. But thats the extent of his skills. He does well for a couple of games then goes brain dead.
Which is often why careeer backups are careeer backups and not full time starters.
Yea yea I know Jackson "won" x amount of games as a starter. But if its looked at honestly "He" rarely won anything. It was the O line and Peterson who "won" most of those games.
Rosenthalls is a big question mark. I dont remember ever even hearing of him till we got him. Another career backup near as I can tell.
The biggest question mark is Childress. Whos play calling is at best. Questionable sometimes. Vince Lombardi, he's not.
Though he seems to be able to recognize and assemble talent. I gotta give him credit for that. Cept for the QB position which seems odd inasmuch as thats supposed to be his specialty.
But he seems to be lost in properly utilizing the talent he has. Kinda like someone who can pick out all the best parts to put in a new computer. But is incapable as to how to properly install them.
He'd probably make a better talent scout or GM then a coach when all is said and done with his career.
Will Favre be worth it.
The potential is there for it to go either way
Its going to depend on Favres surgery and Childresses play calling.
Oh and our new center inasmuch as we were stupid enough to let Matt Birk leave.

System Specs:
80Gb HD
Pentium 4 3.0GHZ HT processor
2GBs RAM
GeForce 6800GT 128MB
I run the current version of the game at 1280X980 res full sliders 1024 HiRez skins and i get about 50fps solid.
I run the beta at 1024x720 res default sliders 1024 HiRez skins with all eye candy minus shadows and i get about 40-50 fps.
You dont need a killer system for this game, drop about 250 bucks on RAM and a video card and youll be good....

They shouldn't allow people who know nothing about computers to play video games on them.
Until a year ago March I played on a PIII 600 Mhz Dell with a 32 Mb graphics card and 512 Mb of SDRAM. I finally upgraded not out of need but desire.
All I can say is Mr Yellow must be running a really sucky system or he doesn't know the first thing about getting the most out of it.
Belial... glad to see the new parts worked out for you.
-
They shouldn't allow people who know nothing about computers to play video games on them.
After doing tech support about a week at CH, I quickly developed the theory that all PCs should come with a required IQ test that you have to take and pass before the computer could be switched on. Sadly, if my dream was ever implemented at the time I would have quickly found myself out of a job as no one would have called for support.

I'm sure you're the only one. Most people are going to give it time before they make a decision one way or another. And to be frank, posts like this, and many others doesn't help with the decision make on HTC part. You think they didn't account for people like you, who are stubborn and wont do minor upgrades to play this game? AH2 has a bigger base of players than AH1 (from what I've heard) and it was a whole new game that people like myself had to get new computers to run it.
Bottom line is, those who are going to leave, are few and far between, and from a business stand point, are expendable. The core group is going to stay, and there will be more "temporary" people that will come and then go when something happens they don't like. Fact is, there's people out there that threaten the very same thing that you are now, and they still keep coming out with updates. So what does that tell you? :)
Now I do understand your frustration, like I said, I had to get a whole new computer to run AH2. The old one I was lucky to get 15 frames in tower. But in order to play ANY decent game, regardless of what it is, you have to stay on top of your computer.
Give them time before you want to get the torches, they've come out with 3 different patches since the update. They are going try and accommodate everyone one way or another.

I dunno. 200 in orange at 11:30 Pm (EST) 155 in Blue....on a Saturday. Historically, Sat night had 400 in each, or Blue had 400 and orange was around 320.

Scenario was today.
-
That's over eight hours after the Scenario started, though. Unless it just wears everyone out. :p Even then, Scenario attendance was extremely low. Alpha was half-staffed.
-
Lot of people who fly scenarios don't fly in MA afterward.
Even IF the numbers were down tonight. Doesn't mean people have Cx'd their accounts. Only true way to tell though would be from HTC, which will never be discussed. Bottom line is people come and go, regardless of the reason. This update is minimal compared to the AH2 release, and since then rumor is there's a LOT more people in the game.
You can't please everyone, we all know this, and HTC does what they can, which for some people just isn't enough it seems. At this point people have 3 options. Play with what they got, upgrade, or quit. Whatever the decision is, make it, and stop complaining about it. Threatening to "cancel my account" will definitely get you no where; fast.
-
Time marches on, sorry but that is a fact. In order to stay alive and viable, a company must move forward.
If that leaves some behind who are unable or unwilling to keep up, that is regretted.
But what is static is dead, AH is alive, and constantly growing, evolving, changing.
You want static, try Warbirds, Air Warrior, or Targetware.

If the Model T runs good and the Mustang doesn't, I'd rather have the Model T.
I guess the problem here is that the Mustang is running fine on most of the communities' systems, and so we're simply getting tired of people squeaking about the patch, mostly because we view the upgrade as progress, and not some sinister HTC plot to screw everyone's gaming experience.
-
I wonder why such a small company took on the large task of trying to push out a "One Size Fits All" type update? I also wonder how many new subscribers have joined due to this update? How many exisiting subscribers have left due to the update?, and finally, how many existing subscribers don't bother to log on but continue to pay their monthly fee? The questions above are known to AH and AH only. Online,multi-player games are a growth Industry right now and I'm sure AH would have wanted to take advantage of that by any means.

You just get tired of this thread (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,268419.0.html), MrYellow? I know I would.

My guess is that only a select few are seeing the game like a new Mustang (those that are playing on killer rigs). I think most are playing in a degraded mode (it plays but looks like crap compared to last weeks AH). So I guess we're really talking about most people driving something closer to a Desoto.

And you base that opinion on what? Two dozen people who come on the forums and repetetively post about taking their ball and going home? I'm sorry if your personal experience hasn't panned out, but most of us are pleased with the upgrade, especially those that have learned how to tweak either the game or their system to make it run smoothly.
-
Like I keep iterating, I don't see why I can run everything but the shadows and local reflections on a 5 year old P4 and nVidia 6800 rig, but the "ubersystems" of today can't. I mean, it's not a total dig; I'd really like to know why.
-
Was over 300 folk in orange last night when I was on and I didn't hear/read any complains about the game other than the usual.... Nice HO !, vulch dweeb! nice ram tard!
Most of the complainers here are too busy complaining to try and fix their computers. There are a number of things anybody could do WITH OUT spending a dime to tweak their computer. A number of post have been put up with instructions on things to try.
-
Well i thought i was going to be able to run this ver in detailed but cant get it to. so i just turn everything off run the basic sliders all the way up get my 58 fps and just keep flying. one day ill get a better machine till then i fly a crappy looking game. I can still see the planes that are shooting me down just fine, good enough for me. :aok
-
Is it me, or do most of the system specs I see posted with major issues seem to be AMD? Some of them seem nicer than my Intel 8500....at any rate, HT has some smart folks, and given time, they will figure out how to fix said major problems on the myriad of machines folks have here. It looks like sans a higher-end machine, you can't appreciate the new stuff, but it's still playable, as long as the issues are fixed.
There's prolly an invisible line where NEW people with high-end machines pop in and look around at the older graphics....are not impressed, and finish their 2 weeks and move on, versus the existing subscriber base, who will always fall by the wayside at a steady rate via attrition. At some point, it is financially necessary to cater to the first group at the expense of the second

I think it's more than a couple dozen. The two dozen that are here on the boards either complaining or trying to get help are a fraction of the population playing.
I knew I was going to have problems. My system is almost 10 years old. I'm here to find help and to help others if I can. All I'm saying is (and many more are saying is) to have the new Mustang would be sweet but the fine running 57 Chevy we had last week doesn't compare to the 50 Desoto we have to drive now.

I got "lucky" about 4 years ago. My CPU and motherboard melted and needed to be replaced. I think that's the only thing that enabled me to keep playing was that at the time the Athlon processor I got was pretty good. As of right now I've got a used Geforce 7800 AGP card and a couple sticks of RAM coming so hopefully it'll be enough.

My son is playing on a old AMD64 3200+ (single core 2.0 ghz) with a nvidia 7600GT 512 meg and 1 gig of system ram and gets 60 fps. I sure there are older systems out there running just as good. Problem is most people don't know how to tweak there system. They expect a computer fresh out of the box to run a game with max detail and everything else at 100fps. The fact is, it won't. Most computers are running 40-70 processes running in the back ground and u will never get the performance out of the computer that u want.
Here is a comparison for ya. You towing a trailer that weighs 15000lb's with a Ford F350 turbo diesel. Another ford F350 turbo diesel (same exact truck) is pulling a trailer weighing at 10000lb's. Which one u think is going to pull up hill faster? Obvioulsy the one with the lighter load. Same goes for a computer. U can take 2 of the exact computers, 1 with 17 processes running in back ground and the other with 45 processes. The one with 17 processes will get a much better FPS then the other and will be stutter free.
What I am saying is, take the time to read what people are doing to fix there problem. Take suggestions, read how to tweak your system, ask for help. Be part of the sollution, not the problem. Simple as that.
-
I have everything maxed out in AH settings except the shadows and bump mapping and everything looks great on my system. I have noticed a few things that bug me but I passed them on to HTC and otherwise enjoying the game. I have not seen stutters or a lot of other issues people have reported but I also keep my machine more or less in trim and un-bloated.

As compared to pretty much any other large scale multiplayer game, the system requirements for the previous 2.13 and older versions was ridiculously low. BaldEagl used to be able to run the game on his 600mhz machine. Back in 2007 if you look up hitechcreations.com website on www.archive.org, the system requirements were 900mhz P3 256mb of ram. In 2000, my first home built computer was a P3 933 and 256mb of ram.
You cannot hang onto your relic computer or low-end computers forever expecting nothing will change. I've read the forums for years and a lot of you guys need to be in nursing homes with the attitude you bring towards any type of change. "Well I've had O'Reilly's brand tomato soup for 45 years and you're telling me I can't get it anymore? Well I'll shop somewhere else!"
The system specs a lot of guys have that are running into FPS problems are 5+ years old. If they're not that told, they have onboard video and are in serious needs of upgrades. Please give me some type of graphically intense online multiplayer game that you can play without a hitch on your Onboard Geforce 6150 chipset or your ATI 9600.
If you want a game with stagnant development, go play Windows Solitaire.

Could you even play the OLD game with a 10 year old computer? I'm about due to get me a new computer, and it's less than 5.
I'm currently playing on an 850 mHz AMD processor, original build 1999. NVIDIA 7900 GT GPU, added in 2004 or 5(?). Both are overclocked, with 2 gigs of add on RAM.
I played the old version at 50 Frames per second.
I'm playing the new version, without water and shadows at 45 FPS.
It's all in how you maintain your rig.

Was it worth fixing something that wasn't broken?

I agree. They should apply this to the military, too. I mean if infantry still lined up in columns, then biplane bombers would still be really effective. But they had to screw it all up by upgrading and trying new things.
-

Things are running fine for me. Seems like you tweaked the ho a bit too maybe?
Personally, i think a more updated netcode should have been in the works before grafx update. Which personally again, imo I don't see that much of an improvement. Looks ...ok...but more like a linear change than anything.
I HOPING that this overhaul was for future progress and that this was a groundwork being laid that couldn't be done with the previous grafx system.
Again, I hope. Otherwise I personally don't think it was worth the upgrade.
Things like a better ground battle, netcode that is faster etc would do worlds for me. If it were about graphics for me, I wouldn't be playing this game. It's about the semi realism , gameplay, the people etc.
While I agree there is too much yelling about the update, I also believe there should have been more listening to the community which went unheard from what I can tell. Anyone that complained about it in the beta was squashed down.
Remember, if one person is complaining - 100 people are thinking the same thing but too afraid to say it.

And 500 people that aren't complaining either don't have a BBSID (seems the whiners all rushed in to make one) or just laugh and meander about on their way...

Saw a new 2010 Mustang Saturday. They really messed up the back end.

Computer Graphics have come a LONG way in a short time since the game Pong first appeared.
Wonder how long it will take before we are all duped into voting for digitized presidents and watching their State of the Union Addresses on TV, convinced that its taped LIVE!
GOD! I hope they don't use Billy Mays for the voice overs...

I bet this MrYellow clown does not even fly ....I for one have never heard of him ....he probably works for warbirds
So MR.nobody ...please stay in the stone age with those year 2000 graphics! I can assure you ...you wont be missed!
and and by the way ....the new improvements have actually convinced me to stay with the game .....what do you think about that Mr.lamer?
Helm ...out
Love how these threads all quickly turn into purse fights... Mr. Nobody... Mr. Lamer. *rolls eyes*
TX ... out

Honestly...if your computer can't handle the new graphics, turn them off. This game isn't about uber graphics, its about air combat. I'm perfectly fine playing on low graphics, and the funny thing is my computer can run all of the highest settings.

You know whats semi funny. The same people who love the graphics and say it will attract more customers, are the same people who complain about how there's no fights picking,ganging, hordes etc. The type of players who are attracted to graphics are the same people you complain about. :x

I think it's semi funny that the people who complain about all the new eye candy and updated graphics, are the same ones who then complain about how the less detailed graphics are too crappy.
