2 but leaning towards 1.
I'd love to play with everything maxed out, but I need to get a new vid card for that. As it is, everything is very acceptable, eye candy and framerates, and it looks great in general. No complaints at all, wtg HTC!

Why should HTC put up a poll? It sounds like you seem to think you're entitled to be a part of the upgrade decision process.
ack-ack

Currently a 2.
It will be a 1 when I get all the work done to get my rig more able to deal with it. I like a challenge though. Playing on a ten year old AMD system, AGP card, with FR around 50, and only having stutter issues like all you high end weenies. (I may have even fixed that for my machine, think it was a sound card issue, if it wasn't a code issue in the release)
Of course I don't have all the bells and whistles running, but I don't need 'em to kill you in the cartoon sky, and view them as unnecessary. My 20mm's aren't distracted if your ride is in front of textured shadows or pretty water tiles.
Some of you really need to look into system maintenance, and stop whining.

As players we all are entitled to help in the process and post our opinions, that's what an open forum is for. Just like you are entitled to your own opinion on these boards, even though you come off as being obnoxious.

I was referring to there being no small hills left anywhere (can't go hull down) and forest density is much lower.

It's a top graphical upgrade. :aok

We lost a great many things.
Lost
beach obstacles
decent ground clutter - someone slaughtered all the sheep!
(looks like I'm driving across the sargasso sea when I'm in a GV)
structures and terrain for GV's
hills (can't find any, but that might just be me)
wakes (unless you can run the game with details)
decent water (with detail turned down the tiling looks hideous)
trouble-free performance
I'm, sorry to say this but the terrain is far less interesting
now. It looks kike a photo from the sky but thats about it.
Gained
shiny water with kewl reflections
2 planes (that didn't require an entire upgrade to get, BTW)
headaches
anything I missed here??
So, was the trade-off worth it? Not for me.
I have upgrade fatigue and won't be buying any
new hardware for my PC. Personally, I'm hoping
Dale & crew will figure out a way to amake it work
across his client base, and not just for those who
can afford to build a PC around a game.
-
1.5 I will adjust my settings when I've sent Skuzzy a DXDIAG and also givin a bit of time for HTC and company to work out a few things . I figure about 2 to 3 weeks and then tweek it out . I run it very well in the default mode now and have very very small stutters , not a big enough deal to cry over . It is a nice upgrade .

I'm curious, what do you like most about the "upgrade"?
-
1.5 - the only thing i don't like is the small icons. too hard to see until real close. other than that :salute :rock
-
Oh what I like most is the water/ocean it now rolls and swells , got shot down over water which is normal for me and I bobbed up and down in the ocean . Loved it . And all cockpits look better and planes just view a bit more sharp or at least it seems like that to me .

That's a GUI setting.... under preferences...
I'd say 1, personally, since I don't seem to be getting stutters anymore.
-
thx motherland that got it. now i give a solid 1 :aok
-
1.01. I got a black screen of Aces High death, so it isn't a 1.

(2) The gv game is alot different which is cool but I cant get use to the sherman. Also I updated my soundcard resolving alot of the stutter issue, but it still needs work.

i agree completely. the ground looks terrible. Its PLAIN! literally plain compare to the old version. and not to mention, those two planes arent really the best. why wouldnt you bring the He-111? or the 410? or that other russian bomber? i forget what its called. Honestly this game was much better in a seperate program (like the beta) rather than just going over the actual game. My frame rates are crap now. I have to buy upgrades because of it. Some of the planes i see are completely WHITE. Ya sure the water is nice. the ships look better (not sure if they updated it but ok) and i can see all the GV's on the ground without having to change to vis ground view or other things in the distance. but the land is plain. there are little dots of trees and stuff besides the trees all over (which was awesome). I dont know, the update didnt do anything that GREAT in my mind. its also not that busy as it used to be. on times in the old version, orange would be 300/300 people in but now i would see only 200/200 (average). Update this game like it used to be but keep the graphics and raise the frames. do it so i dont have to waste money on upgrading and so my squadmates can come back and play. Thank you.

Has nothing to do with the new version. It's simply a problem with new/converted terrain intended for immediate use when a fundamental new version arrives. The purpose of these terrains is to immediately provide the players with a terrain to play in, and how well detailed and crafted the terrain is, is not an issue.
Or perhaps you'd like the AH service to be halted for maybe a few weeks until the developers or mapmakers can come up with a beutiful new terrain which has all the details the previous version terrains had?

2 - it still needs some tweaking but it's so much better than anything else in the same category. :aok
-
i'd say 2, but i really cant run with detailed terrain/water boxes checked, I get average about 20fps. But with detailed terrain unchecked, It's pretty much the same game as 2 weeks ago -- the ground is a blur at the moment, but the game still functions, is fully playable, and I fully peg my display vsync of 60fps now at all times :D
I'd almost go towards 1 because:
Added the Finnish Brewster B-239.
Added the I-16.
Reworked the 3D model of the Typhoon.
Weapons from a previous sortie that are still in the world are destroyed when you start a new sortie. Vehicle supplies are excluded from this.
Me 163 flight model was completely redone.

Fixed a bug in the "Country Stats" menu that didnt highlight the correct selected field.
Fixed incorrect weights of RS 82 and RS 132 rockets.
Spit 14 fuel tanks were reconfigured in position and labels.
Fixed a bug that could cause vehicles to fall through the terrain under very special circumstances.
Fixed a bug that kept the P-51B from attaining full throttle at higher altitudes.
Fixed a bug that allowed LVTs to spawn onshore when the CV was a certain distance offshore.
Fixed a bug that caused all objects, including your plane, to become invisible at high altitudes when the arena fog visibility was set extremely low.
Me 163 rate of climb indicator now reads correctly.
Fixed a bug that caused the mouse not to work as a flight controller unless it went through a calibration.
Lancaster nose guns now fire from the correct position.
Ta 152 no longer loses speed from the drop tank carriage.
N1K2 tachometer now shows the correct RPM.
Fixed a bug in the ship guns that allowed a quick second shot when switching ammo types.
Fixed a bug in vehicles that instantly reloaded the tank gun after rearming.
Fixed a bug in the T-34/85 that messed up the gunners view when the barrel was depressed after switching ammo types.
Fixed a bug in the explosion collider that would apply damage to the opposite side of the explosion.
Fixed a bug that would allow vehicles to spawn on airplane spawn points using the .fly command.
Tracers on the P-39s 37mm now display.
B-25Hs manifold pressure and RPM gauges were recalibrated.
Spitfire XIV fuel damage labels were reversed.
Fixed a typo in the Il-2s damage list.
Fixed a bug that caused radiator leaks in the Ju88s engine to remain after the wing was gone.
Lancaster radiator damage now shows up in the damage list.
Rapid use of the enter key while typing into the text radio no longer results in premature ejection.
Changed the .r quick reply command to only work with personal messages and not squad messages.
Fixed a display issue on the B5N wheelwells.
Me 262 engine cone no longer spins.
Fixed an office building and shore battery 3D shapes that allowed vehicles to get inside the destroyed shape.
Fixed a vertex issue in the left wing of the Bf 109s.
Fixed a missing a missing tail poly in the Il-2.
Changed port object to remove the sea wall.
Made color and material changes to the Fireflys texture.
Fixed a shading issue on the B-25s medium level of detail shape.
Fixed a material issue on the B-25s tires.
Fixed some various auto-acks that had been tagged to fire the wrong weapons.
Added oil damage to the cowling of the N1K2.
Changed the look of the F6Fs oil damage.
Reduced the specular properties of ships.
Changed material on CV gunner selection platform.
Fixed a graphical error in the wing of the D3A.

Yeah, I'll vote!! So far 4, but I'm expecting things to get better on the terrians, because
I read that the makers themselves said that these are not REALLY the finished ground details..

How is it not represenative? If 100 of the 1,000 players that have tried new version casted a vote its fairly accurate.

Less on polls.
1. To be a valid poll it has to be a random sample chosen by the pollster..
2. This poll has 2 very bad non representative things about 1st to be a part of the poll you have to be on this bbs, and this bbs is not in any way a representative cross section of our customer.
3. The poll is optional, so again you have done another filter of who will and will not answer the poll.
4. Take our logo off the poll, or send us email for written consent from us.

Not trolling but aren't all polls optional. And why isn't the bbs a good cross section of customers?
-
Kilo2: No they are not optional the recorded number of people who choose not to answer is recorded also an undecided type choice is always made.
The bbs is not a cross section because of the simple fact that the people here choose to post on the bbs. That fact is a very big filter of a persons personality and hence a large filter of opinions.
HiTech

HTC, knows what they are doing...
If they truely wanted to see what people really though via a poll, they'd use an in game poll (How we have the B-25). Otherwise I'm sure they are aware of their subscibers, through other methods.
I myself at first was unsure of the new terrain...but now I love it. Pretty water, nice palms, and two new planes. Can't wait for the terrain editior to be released so I can start working on a new map or two.
PS..HiTech <Insert Subtle Hint>P-61 A/B and Me-111<End Subtle Hint>

Incorrect poll quoting and inferences is something that always amazes me by politicians and the news. This is the only reason I was chiming in.
As an an example you poll is accurate if the results are stated as follows.
This is a question of people who use the aceshigh bbs, but may or may not fly aceshigh. It must be noted that the BBS is not a cross section of the Aces High Population. Of the xxxx users currently active on the bbs, only xx choose to answer the poll.
Now a new agency would typically take a poll like this and completely skip over the qualifications when using the stats.

2 - Only because I know certain kinks affecting various folks remain to be ironed out in the coming days and from my experience HTC always works hard in that direction after major mods are made to the game.
Does it look as good as Crysis at vh settings? Heck no! But it can't and still have a prayer at running acceptably on as many combinations of hardware in use amongst the player base. For HTC it's a fine line to walk between whiz bang graphics and the broadest possible player base. It always will be.
