What update?

20 second update..not to much.
Version 2.29 Patch 2 Changes
======================
Fixed a bug that would cause a field icon to stop flashing after a disco reconnect.
Radio buffer tabs are now limited to 5 separate tabs.
Auto-takeoff can now be reenabled using the autopilot key if you are stopped on the ground.
Clipboard button textures were not loading.
Achievement System Beta -
A lot of redesign, fixes, and expansion have gone into the achievement system.
Changed how reputation stars work to avoid conflicts with things like the .squelch command.
Added an option in the achievement menu to disable the display of stars.
Achievements now display a progress bar.
Earned achievements now show a time and date stamp of when they were earned.
The reputation value of an achievement is now displayed in the achievement description. All values are currently set to 10 for the beta. There is also a reputation page that tracks how much reputation in each category you've earned.
Added and replaced achievement categories. Added a lot of new achievements and achievement icons. Not all achievements have a unique name at this point in the beta.
Added an in-game achievement icon auto downloader.
Fixed all known bugs regarding the awarding of various achievements

Doesn't change the fact that this game's credibility took a major hit with XBOX-style "achievements"....

Why? Please elaborate, You said it yourself "THIS GAME"..
-
I didn't say "this game" -- and besides it's rather self evident. Achievements are a sad waste of HTC's efforts and lower the quality of the game ever-so-slightly simply by existing.

All i wanted was the HE111 ,fso's and scenarios coming up could have used it greatly.Maybe two weeks.
-
The He111 is on its way, no worries. :aok

sorry "THIS GAME'S" and you still havent explained how HTC's cred took a hit. I disagree with your opinion about achievenment but like achievments I can choose to not participate in it, BUT I wont do that its slow at work right now

The Krusty scale has just been recalibrate for a new max level.

:lol

Just flew with the new update. Not happy.
Had three kills in the LW MA, and *immediately* after each one, ended up with a "host connection lost" disco.
Have to admit that the re-connect inflight *did* work, but boy, is *this* gonna fubar the FSO. :cry

In my opinion achievements have had no impact at all, good or bad, on Aces High's reputation. Almost all modern games, no matter how "serious" they are or what platform they run on have achievements. I can't think of any game I've bought in the last three years that hasn't had achievements and at least one other older game I play has added them as well.
-
I like them because If If I cant think of or get tired of something OI can do the achievements.

We wrote achievements back in the last century, only we called the medals.

Achievements have pretty much been a staple of MMO's since EQ, it's really nothing new in the PC MMO genre.

Nope, already pegged it and whacked it so far out of calibration it struck me down on the floor from laughter. He's on a roll this week.

Who cares? Let the achievers achieve for crying out loud!! If the achievement system keeps one more person in this game for me to shoot at, WOO-T-F-HOOO!!!!
Mr Dale,
Please research other game-type thingies that people will like so more will subscribe to your game. That will give me more people to shoot at and you will make more money. Win-win.
Thank you for your time,
Changeup
PS - I hung out at your airfield a few weeks ago to get my ride....I even brought gas money.....but you never showed up. I'm going to stalk you now, K? :rock :D

i think the achievements are a nice touch for those looking for the that warm and fuzzy feeling. for the rest of us, killing red guys dead is all the achievement we need! im not good at that, but i have fun trying.

LOVE THE KRUSTY SCALE!! :D

Is it possible achievements serve a purpose?
To give new players a sense of accomplishment in what likely has the hardest learning curve of anything they have ever played? To make progress more measurable?
To encourage learning, understanding and enthusiasm for history?
To give measurable results to try new things?
For some whimsical fun, for others stated value in what they have accomplished?
Something new to experience for the folks that have already "seen it all."
