Title: P-40/A6M updated
Post by: 1pLUs44 on June 30, 2010, 07:57:10 AM
They are both very well known planes that had a very large part in the war. And they would look really sweet if they were updated!  :rock :aok

I'd be pleasantly surprised if HT is releasing updated planes...woder how much work it'd take to bring everything up to par with the new Mossie...

Anything but the Yak.  I can see out of the Yak now.  After an update, seems I can't see so good.

Anything else, sure.

They have been updated.  If the plane has moving cockpit controls, it is AH2 standard, if not, AH1.

why not just update the whole list of planes, add some new rides (air & GV).  Not like HiTech is lacking the funds or resources.  Hire a few more designers and get it done.  Should be about quality, which it is by far the best WW2 sim already, but just don't settle.

It is about quality, quantity of staff does not mean quality of product.

How would you know what resources they have?  They don't publish subscriber numbers, but it is pretty easy to run some basic calculations and see that they aren't rolling in excess money.

Resources are plentiful in this economy........how many subscribers you think they have?  with a minimum of 200 payable accounts, that is 3 grand.  not bad for a monthly income in TX.  BUT, we all know there are a lot more paid accounts than 200.  Oh well, I'm over it, 17 more days.

Three grand is chickenscratch.  You won't get anybody decent for that kind of pay.  Also, you left out the other expenses.  Payroll taxes, benefit expenses and all.  By the time you calculate all of that it is well more than $3,000/mo for a guy who takes home $3,000 pre tax.  Companies need to make a profit and what you suggest would take money directly out of the ability of HTC to make a profit.  As you noted, economic times are hard and while that means you might get an employee a bit cheaply it also means, particularly for entertainment companies, that your paying customers are fewer as people save money.

as stated.  i only calculated for 200 paying customers.   On Titanic Tuesdays you see around 6-7 hundred, which is only for LW.  I am sure they are not hurting, compared to some of the players on here.  Oh and if 36k annually isn't enough for someone to live off of, ask yourself how somone who makes only 25k annually supports a family.  Its all about priorities and by going by what is actually necessary.

I didn't say 36k annually wasn't enough to live off of, I said it wouldn't get you very skilled people.  There is a difference.  The priorities of a person who has the skills needed would be to get paid a salary commiserate with those skills.  If people only went for enough money to live off of at a basic level capitalism wouldn't work.

The realistic and detailed cockpits do add a lot to the game to make it attractive and immersive.  But since you can't really model human head, neck, and eye movement, please take care to give priority to visibility of the instruments over detail and realism.

+1 for A6M and P-40 cockpit updates

Until you know what it takes to not only design a massively multiplayer game but run it as well, you should stop making comments like the ones you've made.

By the way......I do know what it takes to run a business and how much overhead is required.  As for knowing how to update planes/GVs I don'tknow, but again I don't get paid too know.  Give me a realistic timeframe as to what it would take to update 1 plane in the game, an accurate estimate; IYO of course.  IF you know it, help them out......There are a lot of people on here that know this type of work and would love to help Hitech if given the opportunity.   Just trying to light a fire to get these updates completed, as a paying customer;  IMO the players deserve it.   

Just trying to look out for everyone.  The more updates the better the game.

For your business you may know but not for a business like HiTech's.  You really don't have any clue as to what overhead is required to develop and maintain a MMO.
