If you can fly Beta you owe yourself the time in there to get used to it and maybe fine tune your PC.
Many have already started their MA squads in Beta already.
HT said himself AHIII is coming very soon. Unfortunately that will be the end of AHII.
Get to the Beta and see what's up! You owe that to yourself if you continue to play on.
Just a thought.

However I plan to hold down the old TA until the door closes.
Now if they open a TA in the beta I might move house sooner.... :noid

Brand new Patch just out!!! Mizzou, lazydog and I took turns in the 1 v 1 arena. If you haven't tried it yet .... it's your loss... especially for any of the "....just ruined a perfectly good 1 v 1 fight" in the MA crowd. Just log in while anyone else is in the arena. When two of you are in the O'Club, it will air spawn you into a fight!! Be ready the action is immediate!! WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOoooooooooo.. ...... :joystick:
Chilli, I have yet to try that arena out yet............while you are waiting for another to show up, how do you go about selecting the aircraft type...............does it give you time, or does it place you both in the same plane type/fuel load out?
give us some details.......sounds interesting,

Never saw anyone to fight...
Ratsass was in arena..suppose he was my adversary but I never saw him
Also looks like there is a practice arena...TA maybe

In my opinion, AH beta gives me more control, and what I expected but never achieved with AH2. You can help me to put some of that control to use in the "hopefully" near future.
TC,
Hey there my brother! Yes, it is fantastic! It either spawns you in a P51D or a Ki84. As far as I can tell it is random which. Ki84 seems to have a clear advantage. No worries, because as I found, you start with enough altitude to turn some of that into speed to extend and pick your chances flying the pony. If you are a pony gawd, (I clearly am not) you are able to turn the tables in other ways.
Pretty much you just go to the O'Club and the only prior settings that you have control over are you Field of View and convergence settings. I do recommend that you have those set up before you go into the O'Club.

Everything seems to be working very well in Beta, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were released soon. I'm getting better TrackIR and frame rates than I do in AH2. Come give it a try. Whether you want to eat it now, or eat it later, you're going to eat it eventually.

Had a most excellent fight against Snakeiis this night, and then another with JB11. Both of them have painted new oldman kill symbols (crossed crutches) under their cockpit rails.

Tried 1v1 arena, merged then put a couple rounds into a pony, and he dove away, ran and never looked back, WTH? Why join the 1v1 dueling arena to run away from a fight?

Gunnery is a lot easier now IMO new tracers look awesome...the whirbs shooting from a field look legit.
Flight model seems easier, noticed it a lot in the 152s flat spin....it recovers a lot easier.
Milky way looks like a volcano exploded in the distance but the night in general is cool.
Clip board icons of planes and tanks are huge....is there a way to make those a lot smaller???
The scratch marks on the canopy sometimes stop very sharply so it goes from being a lot of scratches on it to none at all, this could be how HTC wants it.
Reflection from the moon off the canopy to the ground lights up a big area on ground instead of glaring the pilot so you can't see as well.
Just some things I noticed, pretty good fights...would like to see some sort of side balancing in the final product for sure...right now it's like early war with 10 on one side 5 on another and 2 on the last.

Default FOV should be 120 IMO....one of the hardest things for new guys is SA and if your that "close" it makes it hard even for a veteran to track a plane.I feel like some planes also had slight adjustments such as the f4u-1a

Hitech said that no changes have been made to any of the flight models.I've seen this and also been told otherwise...never saw it in any of the patch notes but to be honest I just skim them. Maybe it was just lucky or something I don't know.

Whoever told you otherwise, didn't know what they thought they knew, unless it was told to you by hitech/HTC staff directly, Junky....
assumptions that changes to the flight model or to certain plane type flight model has continually popped up through the years, whenever AH would receive an update or went through a new version alpha/beta testing and change to the next new version...

What I've noticed is in AH2 there's very distinct sounds that help me judge my airspeed, G's, etc when flying so I can keep focused on the fight and not my instruments... in the Beta, I'm not sure why, but I don't get any of these audio queues. I've tried turning my engine sound completely down, but get none of the buffeting noises I'm used to in AH2 that let me know I may be pulling hard G's.This may be what was making me think there was something different.

You're probably just noticing that the stall buffet sound has changed to a different stall buffet sound. The stall horn is still the same.

And just as annoying as always, that thing goes off. I know, just not a fan of that buzzing. Maybe I should just replace it with something less annoying.
