Title: Mr Hitech Sir, anymore teasers to show us........
Post by: bustr on December 06, 2013, 06:38:23 PM
Some one has to stick their neck out.

If there are more things about to be released that can be previewed. It would give the grousers something else to grouse about, and the kvetchers something relevant to kvetch over.

Personally, I just like looing at the new creations as much as playing the game.

It was only one Christmas, and my sister didn't find the tiny piece of coal in her Barbie doll for 6 months after she opened the present. By that time she blamed our cat.

AH is fun.  If it takes new graphics to recruit and retain players thats fine but how the game works is way higher on my list than how the game looks.

It's clear from the inflection in that "no" that the P-63 will be added in the next release.

Why would they ever do anything as idiotic as that? Might as well add the Do 335 or He 162.

This is the sum of last weeks work, including Sunday when we were snowed in at home. I never thought drawing a simple grid could be such a royal PITA.

When that new World of Warplanes came out and we had a rash of departures the primary response was the incredible graphics. It was like looking at a color picture. Flies a bit arcadish but that was the big complaint.

My guess is HiTech will do this upgrade, then spend some time making sure the planes fit the new graphics. Once the look is more modern, we'll see some new planes.

Just my guess.

That's the beginning layout for the large scale map room "Minesweeper" game or "Tetris" -  HiTech still hasn't decided yet.

I'm trying to push him towards this:

"B-7"

"Awww - You sank my Battleship!"

if that is at a view distance of "100" is that meters...yards...or feet :headscratch:.....if that is feet.....then I would be able to build the terrain I have had in my mind for years.....even if it was meters/yards it may still be workable.... :x :x

I truly hope the TE has a good make over :pray been wanting to do a terrain.....

It occurs to me that this may be partially by design...  I expect that the TE is a natural choke point to prevent HTC from getting bombarded by a couple hundred map makers all demanding that their maps be reviewed and put into the rotation immediately.

I might have kept up on it if it weren't for the maddening length of time required to create the landmasses. And lack of an easy way to view the entire terrain makes placement of islands into rough estimation in the absolute best of cases, and pure guesses in most cases  :bhead.

If that is what I think it is. The up coming wow factor will be worth waiting for the next step in Aces High's evolution.

Thank you.
