Since the release of the WWI update I am not impressed with the out come of the WWII side and its decline. I am calling it quits and have cancelled my account. Hopefully something better will come along in time.

I'm being curious: What has declined on the WWII side since WWI came along (one month ago, btw) ?
-
Again your quitting.

That had crossed my mind as well, but my initial question was "If something better hasn't come along in an entire decade, what makes you think there's some new radical flight sim under development by other parties that's going to compete in the future?"

Makes no sense whatsoever. But hey, it's your nickel.

Nothing. It's actually better than it was. This is a bit of gamer's ADD. I don't think of AH as a typical computer game but apparently it does attract members of that cohort.
Now, (prepare your flammenwerfer because I'm about to write YET SOMETHING ELSE that will get my butt crispy-fried - and this is serious) do I think the WWI arena was worth prioritizing, given the scarcity of HTC's precious development resources? Answer: I vote with my mouse and spend approximately zero time in the WWI arenas. I note that their popularity appears to have declined precipitously of late - and I qualify that as an anecdotal observation.
I'da rather had my 410 - but HTC already has me - bad, so, perhaps I'm not an at-risk customer and HTC made the right choice.
And I'll add, check the spelling on the subject. It's your first clue. Just sayin'...

heheh I love the WWI haters :neener: The WWI arena has no strat therefore numbers will be low until such is added (if ever), but to compare it with the main thrust of HTC and whine about what little impact it has had on WWII is laughable.
I love what they have done with WWI and play there whenever I can, as it adds to the new damage model it is and was well worth the effort, trying to tell HiTech and Pryro how to run their business is just silly on the face of it and coming here and posting why you are quitting is just as silly since no one really care :devil

In among the taunting you make a valuable point re: the damage model. It should, long run, actually benefit WWII.

Think the problem is the way you fly and not the game. If you fly with absolutely no intention of a fight and just go around looking for an easy pick and run from any 1v1 you encounter, sure this game will grow stale very fast. If you do find another game, you're going to face the same burn out if you still insist on flying your timid way.

:airplane: I would guess he is trying to say that they have put to much resource into WWI and not enough into WWII personally I don't believe this is true. He will be waiting a long time for something to come along that has the crew and dedication that HTC does. They are also accessible which it a mighty big plus.

PJ, if you fully understand all their was that came with the addition of the WWI arenas, then you might appreciate it 100 fold ........
there is alot more to it than just a more advanced/update damage model......
and the WWII planes have seen changes from what was gathered for the WWI planes from the data, physics, props, propwash, ad infinium ,etc, etc...
check back to this thread ( current AH version ) and see how far the game just might have advanced a year from now.........

I'm going to take this at face value given the asymmetry of info present. I don't doubt that there is likely collateral benefit going on here (tell me more, if you can).
Anyway, the OP struck me as an acceptable loss, even if it weren't for the acknowledged improvements that came with the latest version.
-
PJ, not trying to stir no fire with you.... just check out each new update we get ( the update information pages ) and see what all the additional new features we will be getting , then compare it to the (1) new plane "410" you thought would have been better.....
no need for me to expand on it any further than that.......
yes the OP, will be back, and then will prob make another quitting post as well...... is a rovolving theme with some around here.....
:cheers:

Yes, I follow, peace, shalom, whatevah. I genuinely DO think you guys do a fine job and am badly hooked. Don't think I don't appreciate it. And, believe it or not, I did actually read the list after noticing the tire roar. I also know something about the difficulties of SW development from my time with Mechanical Dynamics (before they got absorbed by MSC). It is a nonstop parade o' cats. So, no fire stoked... keep up the good work. I still want my 410 but I'm really NOT an unreasoning baby about it. Lately I've really been enjoying the G-14 - and have even been taking it up with gondos.

...do I think the WWI arena was worth prioritizing, given the scarcity of HTC's precious development resources? ...
In point of fact, exactly zero percentage of HTC's "precious development resources" were wasted in the preparation of the WW1 arenas. Everything in WW1 can (and will be) used in WW2...eventually. Bout all that anyone might say on the waste front is that Waffle and SF wasted their time doing the art for the planes and the new terrain. But, seeing as they are both the Artsy/Fartsy types....it's important to keep them........busy. :devil

I’m always amazed at what people read into what someone posts. PJ Godzilla did not mention the word “Waste” He never said that HTC wasted resources.

BUT he did in fact imply it, and went on to say he wished the time had been spend on his 410 wish :O. Trying to cover yourself by implying rather than stating your position is usually seen through quite quickly by thinking readers.

No, I quite clearly used the word prioritize, and also stated, at the end and in subsequent post that the effort may have been worthwhile. That the time could've been used for something else and that I'd prefer if it had been is undeniable. That the time was "wasted" is unclear - and I made no call on the matter. That's the distinction that you're missing.
Here's the critical distinction restated: "waste" is a judgment, in this case. Try another example. Was the moonshot a "waste"? THat's a tougher question to answer. There might be an objective answer, but it won't be reached easily - and if you understand that, you'd then understand why I stopped short of using such a charged label.
So, in short, the only implication here is the one you're awarding me. In so doing, you're putting words in my mouth. You're building an evidentiary bridge between what you know and don't know out of thin air - worse, even, with contrary evidence available and in front of your face. Why? That's not something a thinking reader does.

And here I thought Maximus Desmond Meridius said that. :eek:
No, you're conflating my sig about vengeance, MDM's talk of vengeance ( I will have it, in this world or the next), and the fact that Aurelius appears in GladHeAteHer (before the gang bang - but fails to utter said quote while munching or at any other time in the film) The Movie to produce a casually technicolor-yawning highjack - not that there's anything wrong with that.
Does Skuzzy even stick people on the highjack in threads like this? It is, after all, kind of a thread about nothin', given that we've already written off the OP as an ADD loser who walked because he didn't find AH conducive to the satisfaction of his McJones for a McFix.

Yall need to stfu and move along! Gaboon can whip half the folks on these boards and was 1 of the few wingmen I've ever had that would have my 6 covered even if it meant him getting shot down in the process.
I invited him to the 412th awhile back and he was a perfect fit for the squad. I've need regretted that move and I hate to see him go as was awesome squad mate, with alot of knowledge about the Mustang. His grandpa flew them and I enjoyed talking to him about that.
He may not of flown the way you wanted him to, but if he were in your squad you'd be damned thankful he was there. Frankly, I'm disappointed that someone from the 412th hasn't spoken up in his behalf. I guess now that SkatSr is gone they'll just let folks walk all over 1 of their own.....sad.
There's only a handful of guys I'd want as a wingman in this game, and Gaboon is damn sure one of em'. He's spoken his mind and we've spoken ours. Now lets move on and find someone else to hack on.

I’m disappointed at the lack of camaraderie displayed by many in the community. Some seem almost glade that someone is leaving. It also appears that some wish that others would leave as well. Everyone that leaves is just another nail in the coffin for Aces High

Gaboon was a good squadie in the UNFORGIVEN, he just talked too much :D
Anyway he has a deep personal attachment to WW2 and it is obvious he respects his Grandfather very very much! I think he will return in time, even if for only awhile :aok
As for those who bash him, I thinkl you peeps just can't disconnect "game" from "real life"! The bantor and instigation that goes on in the MA arenas really should not make it here! As I've said before "no matter what the grief is in the MA, I'm sure I could sit down with anyone of you and enjoy a beer and some good conversation" I think this goes for everyone! I hope :aok
See ya Gaboon, I have left also yet I pop in now and then just to be a tard :aok :rofl :rofl :rofl :salute
-
I don't wish for anyone to leave the game and I hope my post didn't make you think that. But I can't stand by and say nothing when a friend and former squadie of mine gets bashed for no other reason than to follow the gang.
I've said alot of things on these boards that I regret, and I've lost a few friends doing it. No more will I agree will the "in" crowd just because I can. If I think someone is wrong, I'll call them on it and beat down the flames as best as I can. I haven't always done that in the past...and it bothers me.
I jumped on the bashing bandwagon when everyone (except Lyric) was hacking on Chalenge. I'm down right ashamed of myself for that, as he was one of the few the ever called me up on the phone to see if I was alright when I'd quit playing. I won't make that mistake again and turn my back on my friends. Life is too damned short and we all deserve a break once in awhile.
Sure, I love to troll and flamebait like most of us, but I have to draw the line this time. We all have our disagreements from time to time, but we're a pretty close community here and I'd like to think we can count on our friends for support in time of need. :salute

I support this sentiment. I don't know Gaboon and my real reaction to his post can be found early in this thread - i.e., I disagree, but that doesn't necessarily make him a bad sort. My response to Max was as much a poke at the gratuitous write-down as at anything else. The emerging line from the posters was as unceremonious a denouncement as has been seen since Kruschev took over from Stalin, probably.
To be totally honest, I have to say that I found it HILARIOUS the way people immediately started piling on. He became a "baboon", "whiner", "squeaker", etc. I doubt that people here honestly believe that his exit really implies that he's irredeemable human scum - at least I don't. But, there's something fun about being a part of such a group of combative a-holes.
You've got to admire their feistiness, in a way - and, trust me, I've been the butt before too. It's kind of like "Lord of the Flies", only, it's a bunch of adults and the island is a bbs.
Who's Jack? Probably Ack-Ack. Gaboon, of course, got to stand in as Piggy this week.
One collateral thought -and it doesn't stand in Gaboon's favor: If Gaboon didn't want to risk taking fire, why post up his discontentedness right here on the bbs? It looks a bit like a messy self-immolation...

People leave all the time, I leave myself for periods of a month, a few months, a year, a few years. I don't expect HTC to start throwing dirt on their heads wailing and pull their hair out or anyone else in game for that matter. Nor would a post a goodbye as a public "I've cancelled my account" take that HTC :rolleyes:.

I agree that bringing this to the boards is a bad idea. It's not good for anyone, but must everyone that does choose that route have to be put down and told about how much they suck? Why not a simple "later", or no post at all? Some manners would be nice on these boards every once in awhile, ya know.
I use to like Snoop Dogg till i seen that :(

Reading back a bit, I can see hes your ex squaddie and all but still why bring it here and expect not to get a log curled on ya. Didn't know Skatsr was gone as well I 'eventually' found him a hell of a good guy after getting to know him a bit :lol sorry to hear hes left.

Yeah I miss ole Skat alot. At one time I would have loved to see him and Steve wing together :lol Can you imagine the kills them boys could land in a sortie! Now THAT would have been a killing machine. :joystick:

I can't disagree with this. My only point would be that even when I was a noob, 4 years ago, Gaboon in a GV could do nothing but point out how he felt the game was "H"d....if you know what I mean. It was really all he could comment on.....sure, the air war was ok, but in GVs things were "hinky".
Now apparently that opinion has leaked over into the air part of the game. That is a shame, he is/was a good/great player, if he could just get past his hangups - you know, "everyone is out to get me".

I have quit a few films of Mr. Gaboon running and running and then running some more from a 1 v 1. Only to finally get caught by me and fairly easily killed. That is always followed by countless bashings on 200 about how lame my kill on him was. If you want me to post some of them I would be happy to. Just say the word :D
Uptown, you may be his friend but if he is gonna come on here and want the community to comment on his leaving (which is the idea of a forum) then your gonna get exactly how I feel about it from me. :aok It would appear that I'm not the only one that thinks this way :salute

If you ever talked with him you would find he would intentionaly fly the pony the way his grandfather had told him how it was flown in RL, I think he was intentionaly honoring that in some way. Gaboons flying was very close to skatsr style, they both were good at the long shot "800-1K". Skat could turn the pony a bit better "when he had to" but he also prefered to leave when things got dicey. When they joined up in the same squad they both benefitted from each others experience IMO. Doggin him for flying the pony in the same manner as most pony drivers do is not to cool. There are plenty who fly it the same way who are still "ingame".
For the record, 0ldemon is the only pony driver who "consistently" has a "MUDDY" pony in this game! Again, just my humble opinion! :aok all the others fly it as I have stated above!
-
Only 0LDemon huh :huh
-
Fine with me if he wants to "fly" his pixels the way his grandfather taught him. Just don't start bashing someone on 200 when you get caught and killed because of it. Which is what he did to me quit often. :cheers:
-
I dislike the WW1 arena too, from the first day honestly but alot of people do love it.....good add as far as business goes. But Id have to agree theres been some problems with bugs in the ww2 MA recently. But maybe those will be fixed when we get a new Yak and KI :noid

Yeah I miss ole Skat alot. At one time I would have loved to see him and Steve wing together
I was in the 412th, back in the day.

I don't know if I'd post or not but I've been flying with a lot of the people here for 14 years and I don't think saying goodbye after all that time would be out of line.

Yeah, I'm glad Gaboon posted his leaving as I wouldn't have known otherwise. I talked to him on the phone last night, and he said he probably should of posted a little different, but he's really frustrated with having to work though all these bugs that are coming with the patches. And I have to agree that it does get old, constantly trying to tune your rig after these patches and updates.
The guy has a monster computer that should run this game as smooth as glass....but it won't. I'm trying to get him to stick around and tough it out. He's running Windows7 and I think that is most of the problem. It's just one thing after another with the updates. He lost him cool and posted here to let some steam off I think.

but he's really frustrated with having to work though all these bugs that are coming with the patches. And I have to agree that it does get old, constantly trying to tune your rig after these patches and updates.
That is ridiculous, you make it sound as if he is a prog sys developer working on a major project with client deadlines and production impact. He just another dweeb like the rest of us playing a online game.
If he finds that stressful and frustrating then he needs to see a doctor. :lol

Well maybe I need to see a doctor too, because I agree that's it's frustrating paying for something that I can't get to work the way it should. I pay to enjoy the game, not constantly downloading patches only to find out there's a bug with the elevators or my sound pack I've been using for 2 or 3 years will now cause stutters and freezes.
Is it too much to ask for to just log on and play? I've updated drivers, patched for the processor and a ton of other things to get the game working right. And as soon as I do....BAM! another patch to fix some more bugs! It gets old man.
The doctor would say, "find a new hobbie"

Welcome to computers.
Seriously, my older brother is a relative computer novice having only had his first laptop for a few years now. At least we talk on the phone a lot since he always has questions and needs frequent tech support.
To make a long story short he was very very frustrated one day and, after a few drinks, was doing his "this is BS... why can't they just make them work... I pay for something I expect it to work... blah blah blah" thing. I had to calmly explain to him that no two computers are the same, given differences in hardware, software, application settings, etc., etc., etc. and that the hardware and software were made by many many companies independant of one another so, the likelyhood for unforseen conflicts was high. Add user created content (soundpacks, applications, etc.) and it just gets worse.
Frankly, it's almost a wonder that they work at all. For the benefits I guess you just have to be able to put up with some occasional pain.

I just don't get this. I've run AHII now off two nodes of the home LAN - 1 a Mac running Windows via Bootcamp, the other a decent-but-nothing-great TigerDirect PC running Windows. AH has run something like flawlessly on both once I got past a little initial teething problems - mainly on the Mac. That last was worth the effort since it runs AH great.

Yep !! That was a good episode of Intervention. I had never heard a cry like that before :aok :bolt:

Most of the time someone who tells you they are going to kill themself don't. Often those that say goodbye want attention to themselves or the problems they percieve in the game. I applaud those that try to make this a Better game with bug reports, suggestions, technical help or whatever. But the whiners get no respect.
If you find something better go do it. :airplane:
Good bye and......

Gaboon, I hope you're doing well after all of your medical treatment. :)
I hope your calling it quits isn't for good!

Texasmom,
I am still having computer problems but all is well health wise I should be back in 2 weeks. Returning from San Diego in 2 weeks that is. I took my computer with me to see what I could do to solve this problem doing system restore step by step as AH updates came in to see when all this began and so far it starts at patch 2.3 after that no films are viewable and when I record system freezes for 45 seconds and I get a UDP dump to desk top. I am also having a new Sun room added to back of house and that will be a distraction in it self. Two huge civil suits are just around the corner also for work place injury to my neck and back resulting in bone fusion so add another distraction. If I can fly off line and record and view films with 2.8 patch I might come back at the request of my friend Uptown of which I will wing with him from now on when hes on.

I have you a spot saved for ya in the Nasty Deadmen. We ain't real good but the company is great. Just a bunch of old farts trying to steal a kill or 2 :D
-
Well you know what everyone calls me "A PICKTARD RUNSTANG" but we both know the only time I extennd is to isolate to a single for 1V1 or rtb with low fuel and near no ammo and I very rarely ask for help.

7 pages later, no one is quitting and there's sour milk.
I quit threads are for the birds.

Before you edited the post and had it ending with "... in 2 weeks..." I thought it was the HTC joke. :)

Yeah, I'm glad Gaboon posted his leaving as I wouldn't have known otherwise. I talked to him on the phone last night, and he said he probably should of posted a little different, but he's really frustrated with having to work though all these bugs that are coming with the patches. And I have to agree that it does get old, constantly trying to tune your rig after these patches and updates.

:airplane: Quite frankly doubt if he has a monster computer if he is having problems. I have never had a problem with updates and patches and am running windows 7 64bit which is as stable as a rock. If he has enough CPU, video card and ram it will run full resolution just fine. Frame rate is always 59-60 no matter the situation. BTW describe monster computer....I run Core i7 running at 2.67 GHz, Nvidia GTX 285 video card and 6 GB ram and on a EVGA X58 motherboard.
BTW don't try to run this game wireless, it will run but much better if you hard wire to router.

Gaboon, fwiw, I'll be glad to see ya back ingame - had some fun fights with you in the past, and look forward to more in the future.
:salute

I know nothing about Windows7 and just a tad about XP, but what I do know is something as small as a player made sound pack can cause a performance hit. Not to mention background programs running and even the compatibility mode you have selected.
Granted they're are folks that can just unbox a computer and hit the ground running, but there's alot (like me), that have to learn this stuff through trial and error.

like maybe a life? :P
Hey, if any of us had a life. None of us would be here. LOL

I really don't need a life I am retired Navy on 75% disability. I retired in 1992 after 23 years of service you can do the math. I am a Vet of both the Viet Nam and Gulf War's. As for my not having a monster computer in my opinion its a monster to me as follows. (Thermaltake Armor + Ultra X3 1600 Watt Power supply with built in liquid cooling, EVGA X58 classified 4X SLI motherboard, Core I7 975 Extreme CPU, 12 gig's of Corsair core I7 Dominator DDR3 ram, dual GTX 480 hydro Copper video cards, 3X Seagate Terabyte hard drives, LG super multi scribe and DVD bluray drive and a sony 3.5 floppy, running Windows 7 64bit. I run 7 telescopes on this machine stacking and processing mulit color frames while guiding the telescopes using Meades tracking software. I can run Star Trek OL and World of Warcraft online both on full res without so much as a burp in the system I shoud be able to run AH with no problem. If you have ever played WOW in a 25 man+ instance you know what I am talking about I have never had so much as a skip when running this system of mine. I am also running a docsys 3.0 cable modem with 60 meg speed.

That 3.5" floppy drive was the icing on the cake for me...

who cares, he served his country......... no reason to crack a "grammar police" whip on him......
btw, I have always used a floppy drive on my PC builds... some of my software demands it with licensing, is only way to activate and unactivate my software... lose the floppy lose the license ( has 3 on the floppy, removes one each time you activate, if you don't use floppy to unload/deactivate or lose the HD you lose one of the 3 licenses...... )
Thanks for serving ~S~

I'm sure he knows that, if he fought a freakin war there.

So, assuming you were 18 when you enlisted (in 1969) that means you were born in 1951. Gordan M. Graham was born in 1918, which makes him 33 when his grandson (you) were born. That means that he must of had kids when he was real young. So somewhere in 1936-1940 when he was in college at the University of California he got married (or not) and had a kid.. might have been with Dorothy Huntingdon Graham who was his first wife. He got married the second time in 1968 to Vivian Fox Graham, who is still alive, bless her. Which means that somewhere, sometime, someone got pregnant at a real early age. Amazing what history brings out isn't it.
Gordan M. Graham was an amazing man, doing a search for his bio and reading about him is worth anyone's time.

interesting to say the least. Gaboons dad would have had to been somewhere around 15yo when Gaboon was born? :headscratch:

Gents,
If you want to get really picky about it then the traditional name is: Nam Viet or Dai Viet depending on the era. Viet Nam is a recent change of Nam Viet as of the 1800's. It went out of use until it was reinstated in 1945 as a single word Vietnam. Depending on the source after 1945 it was still refrenced as Viet Nam.
I'm assuming Gaboon is spelling in the traditional usage because of his personal experience.
