HT are you listening? Having championed AH since the early beta, I am about to terminate my account because: -
1. Poor management. Why the hell isn't there a proper centralised official source for info. It would save all those questions and allow not just the few to know whats supposed to be working and how.
2. HT says he's there last night 'direct' but ignores / fails to respond when you actually try to find out anyhthing.
3. Bugs, bugs and more bugs - AH is getting a reputation. Radio VOX - not working, films - not working, map - not working. I can't even change fields in the map room, let alone in the tower.
4. No proper tech support, even via e-mail.
This venture is going to need loyalty from its customers and this is no way to retain it. Come on, you can do better. If not, another question - just how do you cancel one's account here?

Not trying to be a ball buster or anything, but have you actually tried to post some of the bugs you have found in the Bug Forum?
If you have, my apologies for asking.

Travis,
Having come from AW...I'm always amazed how fast these guys work...release today, patch tomorrow. I'm not really arguing, just wondering what you base your expectations on.
As for HT in the arena...was he playing or working...if his text is light blue he's on the clock, otherwise he's just another stick.
-
Travis,
What version were you playing and on what?
My radio works fine.
I can change fields easily from either the maproom or the notepad.
I can't comment about the films 'cause I've never used 'em.
The support AH gets from HTC is better than any other sim out there.
Take a breather. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) (I shoulda done that yesterday)

Careful guys.....
I think some close inspection might find a UK troll at work here....
Similar to the now exposed MG/Macboy fiasco.... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
There is a couple of prime candidates if you look real close at other boards and then "trace" this one back....
Just my opinion and I could be mistaken, but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck....well, you know the rest of the story.... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Pathetic??? Shambles???
What planet do you come from?
Pathetic? They have THE best flight sim game on the market. Continually updated, added to - a work in progess, and they're up front about it.
Shambles? - Look at what they have produced in the time they have produced it considering they are a TINY games development house. Companies 20 times the size take twice as long to make something 10 times crappier.
You say they don't respond? All my questions i have asked from HTC have been answered by the actual people who make the game, not some PA chump.
What about the suprise P47D??? Thats pretty damn cool!!!
BIG <S> to HTC - keep up the excellent work!!!!!!!!

What a load of bull, even if this is a troll. Go leave if that's how you feel!
There may be bugs, and imperfections, and we may whine. But the HTC team is awesome. Unbelievably friendly bunch. (Except for Pyro, who is obviously a sneaky bastage (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) )
So shuddap, we don't wanna hear it!
-
Ya know Badger what is really a shame?
They aren't satisfied with trashing everything on AGW they have to come here to do it too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
Things like this make me want to sever any ties at all with WB and AGW. The attitude over there is just getting to much to deal with, hence the reason you started your group.
Pyro can you trace this guys and tell us if he is one of our old trollers or a whole new pain in the ass!
Sorry for my mouth folks but this kinda toejam is really starting to piss me off.

hehehe....whoa team....
Before anyone gets a rope, I think Travis deserves the benefit of the doubt, until Pyro or someone can check. I may have just been seeing too many similarities in certain things. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I just wanted to send up a caution flag so that everyone didn't go crazy on him for the wrong reason, until the troll potential had been checked.
Let's see what turns up....
If not a troll and for real, then here's a suggestion....
Travis...I'm not having any problems you describe, so if I can help you debug your environment on the side, send me a private e-mail and we'll take a shot at it.
I'd reserve your "nuke strike" and I'm out of here approach to problem solving until other avenues have been tried.

It's not a troll, Travis has been a subscriber for quite some time. When I was talking to him online today I was extremly bz fighting a crash bug.

Wow Travis,Im amazed that we can differ SO much on what I consider to be by far THE premier WW2 flight sim currently available.I can assure you I have experienced NONE of the misgivings you have mentioned.I suggest you give the AH community a chance to help iron out your problems.There are many people here that are more than willing to help solve the isolated quirks that arise with some users systems.Thats the greatest benefit of belonging to the community.
Hate to see you miss out on this ever-improving product.G'luck with the fix.

Trav's been playing online sims for years.
His problems are genuine with AH: Take it from me, he's only so upset because he loves the game so much and knows full well it's the best. For some reason it's broken on his PC right now.

Our philosphy is that part of the service, or perhaps disservice, depending on how you look at it, is that we put a strong effort into a fast development pace. We put things out as quickly as we can, and we squash resultant problems quickly. We also make ourselves available to our customers as much as we can. If you have suggestions on how to improve things, please feel free to voice them. As to tech support, I've only seen one email from you and it only asked whether anybody received them. I do apologize for some of the lag that happens around releases as we're usually trying to address global problems before individual ones. As to your last question, that can be done via the admin button on the main menu of the clipboard.

Nah... don't close yer account Travis.
One thing to consider though.... Instead of showing up on this board at yer wit's end in frustration, why not have come here earlier? I'm sure someone could have helped ya out with yer prollems.
-
Thanks Pyro and HT....
The email bounce "thingy" (how's that for being technical) can be a problem as it happened to me. I posted skuzzy on here and he fixed it right away. Maybe there was a server glitch with your first email travis.
In any event, if I can help you off-line let me know. Sorry for the possible troll confusion, but there was something (let's not go there (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ) that was strikingly familiar from another environment that rang huge alarm bells. Are you one of twins by any chance? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

First to all - please give Trav a break - this is not a troll and he is having genuine problems.
Second to Trav - doesn't sound like you mate - drop me an e-mail with phone number and lets go over it bit by bit. I understand your feelings if you're having greif (you know what I went thorugh with AW3...) but you were the one who pointed me here - I can't believe you really think it's that bad.
-
Sorry Travis,
I'm just getting a little edgy. A community that I really enjoyed and was honored to be a part of is starting to go into the toilet over on AGW, and I thought I was seeing the beginnings of it here.
If your having serious problems, then by all means try to get the help of either HTC or the guys and gals (is there any women here other than the ladies at HTC?) in here. I've only seen one other post from you and seen you on channel 1 in the arena.
Everytime your remarks were inflamitory tiraids so I didn't try to offer any solutions (my mistake I guess). The people here are the best. If you ask for help in a civil manner I will not believe that the people here or at HTC will not do everything they possibly can to try and help you fix any problems you may have.

Travis, if your email is not getting throughm please let me know by posting the error header to the "Internet Connection" forum.
I will fix the problem. We are very agressive about blocking SPAM to our clients and once in a while we end up blocking a server or address we that ends up prohibiting good emails from getting through.
I will not tolerate anyones legitimate email not being delivered.

Thanks to those, particularly Badger (obviously the model for Bolt's "A Man for all Seasons"!) making sensible comments and offering their time in order to help. I have e-mailed some directly.
Others, well, you have to spot a bit of deliberate provocation you know ;-) Trouble is, the target (almost) ignored the post. Come on HT, treat it as constructive managemant criticism and let's have a proper reply. Please. Oh Duma - you missed the 'b'.

Travis, if you're anywhere near Aylesbury, drop me a line and I'd be happy to check your machine's configuration for you. You can buy me lunch in compensation and introduce me to the pleasures of flying AH online that I cannot currently enjoy.

Agree on that anyway Yeager. I say what I am thinking but don't mind others doing the same and when it's done, it's forgotten :- )
