Title: AH iPad App (if x-plane can have ipad apps, why not AH?)
Post by: Midway on October 08, 2011, 02:22:33 PM
Could add thousands of noob targets (err users) for us to practice our gunnery on.  :devil

Plus, I would use it when not on the computer.  :D :aok

I am typing this on an iPad have have to say NO. I can see no reason, or even a way to work AH and get the same ideal that AH is going for from an iPad.  The play would be limited, and non realistic.  Dumb idea, and that is from an iPad user.  Tere are some things iPads are great for but this ain't one

Fly x-plane on the ipad and you'll see it's pretty good.

Not a phone... a tablet (IPad)  :bhead

midway, did you happen to consider the fact that ah does not run on apple osx natively? what do you think the chances are of it running on the ipad os? i know you enjoy arcade action but, please leave it where it belongs, on consoles and your ipad.

normally i would flame you for the lame idea but...it's been a long day.

Okay...a big phone that can't make phone calls. The question stays, how do you plan on playing aces high on a touchscreen? How are you going to control your airplane, look around, fire separate guns, speak, type, ect...?

Can be figured out.    :headscratch:

So you have no idea how your idea would work? I'll tell you why you don't know, because it's impossible.

There is a reason why real airplanes have a stick, throttle, and pedals, we don't fly around pushing buttons on the screen.

impossible is nothing.
also if it comes up to a point where we figure out how, why not have the option? people would not MAKE you use it and also it would not give you any unfair advantage... the other way around actually, like in counter strike:GO where silly console players will be up against PC gamers  :devil

while I doubt one could be effective in aces high, its actually quite easy to fly on an iphone in something like xplane, you tilt the device to and fro and side to side, with slider on one side of the screen for throttle, etc.

There are many possibilities.  One would be controlling your aeroplane by tilting and rotating the iPad similar to how Xplane or similar flight sims do it.  There could be a thumbspot on the screen that when held down would switch to views by tilting and rotating.  It would take some thought but is certainly doable.  Some may even prefer it similar to how some prefer using a mouse to fly vs a joystick.  :)

then he would be on more and could get 2000 deaths instead of the current 1500 per month just on his pc    :bolt:

You would not be able to look to the side, turn, and change your power setting as the same time. Technically it would be possible to make something like this but everyone flying from an ipad would look & fly extremely retarded because they can do only one thing at a time, flying is about multitasking.

The game can't progress past directx 9 because
the xp users would all have to upgrade. You want this
on an apple iPad? People in hell want ice water too.
