I really wish you would stop posting the large images in the forums. Post the small images, if you must. Let players get the large ones if they chose to do so.
Thank you.
-
Whoops sorry...
I've always found clicking on thumbnails more annoying than just having large images and figured other people thought the same way. I'll keep that in mind the next time I post...

Another 2 weeks? At least its my fave WW1 ride!!!!!!!

The reason we post thumbnails is too allow the low speed connection users a choice to see what they want to see. Not everyone has a high speed connection.

Yes they do... it's just that some highspeed is dialup. :D

I'm loving the detail on the radial and the rigging :aok

Hey that Camel looks familure. I was looking at that skin this weekend reading about WWI aircraft specifications. Can anyone tell me who's Camel from WWI the skin is modeled after?

How About the DR7? The SE5A? ok, and will zepplins be in as Bombers? or Bulky ones,,, I know I know Questions questions....

From the original announcement
"We are pleased to announce an upcoming expansion to the Aces High plane set that will introduce World War I (WWI) air combat to the skies of Aces High. The initial four plane set will consist of the Fokker Dr.I, Sopwith Camel, Bristol F.2B, and Fokker D.VII.
These new planes will be available in a separate WWI dogfight arena and will also be available for special events. They will be the first planes to use a new damage system with greatly expanded capability."

They should come live here in Korea - we're a wierd wired world.
We can provide them with a connection that downloads gigabytes-sized porn within 10mins.

Truly an underrated capability... :aok

Wheres the prop? Not even a hint of it?
-
Shouldn't the engine be rotating around at very high speeds? Didn't they bolt the crankshaft to the frame and the engine spun around, moving the prop with it?

From what I recall on the superfokker, the engine does rotate, it's just not replaced with a semitransparent bitmap like the propeller.
-
Ah... very cool. Too bad AH doesn't incorporate motion blur with some in-between step (like having part of the bitmap laid out to show a blurred rotating engine, then replace the "stopped" bitmap with "blurred" when running....)
-

I'll say.
You can start a download for normal sized porn files, go to the toilet to grab some toilet paper, and when you come back the download's finished and ready...
... or, would this be a inadequate subject to discuss in HTC forums?
(ps) I think it'd be ok.. since obviously AH forums tend to show slight preference to bestiality with sheep... right? :x
(ps2) great.. I'm talking all dirty now.. my blood sugar levels must be low again..

I guess you guys actually get what you pay for. $40 for 120kb/s. Wonderful isn't it.
-
You mean that's all you've done?! :lol I can see it's not coming out this year. :salute Skuzzy and the rest...

Great tune and great shots:

I agree with you.

Korea and Japan are lightyears ahead of us in telecommunications infrastructure.

I'll have to look up the 'double dumb-bell' squadron marking when I get back to my library in Blighty; Les Rogers' RFC Squadron Markings' will have at least one pic plus the gen. Meanwhile I'll just sit here in Spain, sipping a rather splendid single malt and congratulating myself on having the foresight to escape the snow in Britain well in time for Christmas.
Sopwith's Humpy One has a lousy outlook from the cockpit, the pilot being seated below the upper mainplane. I'll take the SE5a every time when H-T and the gang get round to including it in the planeset.
:cool:
-
SE5 does have far better visibility than the F1, though I'd still prefer 2xVickers to the 1 Vickers and a Lewis gun that required the pilot to stand up and reload it. :uhoh
-
Early over-wing Lewis mountings as on the Martinsyde S.1 were fixed - No.6 Squadron RFC's Louis Strange famously nearly came to grief standing up in the cockpit to change an ammo drum - but the SE5 and SE5a employed the Foster mounting, which enabled the pilot to unlatch the gun via a Bowden cable and then slide it back and down along a curved track to reload. The airflow assisted the backward movement, made against the tension of an aerolastic ('bungee') cord which assisted the pilot in pushing the gun back up into its forward-firing position when he'd finished reloading. The procedure required some physical effort, particularly at altitude, but the pilot needed only to slightly raise himself off his seat to accomplish it.
The Lewis gun was retained in the SE5a design because it was lightweight and less prone to jam when fired whilst manoeuvring. The Foster mounting also enabled the pilot to fire obliquely upwards and forwards at a target flying above him - an early form of 'Schrage Musik' much favoured by Albert Ball VC and others.
:cool:

Ugly cockpit and that stationary engine ... argh ... :huh
The Camel flight model will really tell us how good is the game engine. Rotaries engined scouts, mostly the Camel, but also the Nieuports and some Fokkers, are probably the most difficult to model.
Torque and gyro effects, the use of blip-switch, togheter with prop wash effects on different type of fuselages can be a nightmare for a programmer.
We are lucky we have plenty of test reports about the Camel, so we'll be able to judge ..... anyway, good work to the programmers and good luck!

Yes because satellite is so much better then dial up. :rolleyes:
-
So we should expect all the late WWI rides first and the early ones to be talked about but not added till years down the road if ever?

You sir seem to be assuming that everyone has the option of upgrading and we all know what assuming means.
Thndregg and I were stuck on dialup with no other option for 10 or more years and only had the option to upgrade within the last year or 2.
I think for the most part everyone would upgrade if they could (we did as soon as it was available) but for some dsl and cable is still out of reach. I would suggest you come down off of that high horse of yours and get a bit of info on what is and is not possible for the populace before acting like everyone can just up and get a high speed connection if they really wanted to.
Sorry don't mean to roast anyone really, I'm just sick of posts where people assume others can just up and get better than they have if they really wanted to.

From Sopwith Camel to connections waffle = yet another hijacked thread. C'mon guys, stay with the beat.
