Why is the download  0.343 Meg Per Second?   Going to take 48 minutes to download :(

could be a number of reasons why....

When I started my DL, I was showing 3.82 MBps ( not Mbps ), then my daughter and 2 niece's showed up...all logged into my wifi, then they turned the TV on in the Den and started Streaming amazon Prime movies, while Dad was already watching Netflix in his bedroom and Mom gaming on her computer at the other end of the house.....

once that Amazon Prime streaming kicked in, and the girls messing with their iPads , tablets and phones...... my download speed slowed all the way down to around 700 kbps

plus there also could be a lot of people trying to download at the same time, not to mention all the re routing because of the flooding in certain areas etc.... then you have all that election overload using up bandwidth as well....

hope this helps

Thanks,  i was not using wifi on any other device at the time,  only the browser and aceshigh.  but... interestingly enough,  i cancelled my downloaded and re-start the download process to see mbps bumped up to  0.920mbps  and now currently at  0.799      which translates into  at least a download time of 28 minutes vs.  50+minutes

Must be the server that is hosting the 50+minute d/l  time,  vs the 2nd server I hit for a  28 min d/l time

Mine is downloading at 0.475 MPS, has been steadily increasing in speed.  This is pretty good for my rural 4G LTE connection.  Downloading through trying to log into the game.  Now hopefully I'll get a good file and not have to do this several times.  I think the decent speed  (for me) is a good sign.

Also noticed, when I look back and the 1/8 looking back, there are shadows cutting diagonally across the screen.


The airplane engine sounds behind me when looking forward. When looking back, the engine sounds in front of me, that is at the tail of the plane.

Second bug,   occurs  when my machine auto minimizes game to desktop 1 per hour...    I  bring the game back up from the task bar  and the game  engine sounds  are  silent.. I only hear the wind.

In AH2,  everything would work ok...    ANd  in  AH3  beta  the engine sounds  would  restart  as if im turning on the engine...  But  in  AH3  Dx11  the   engine sound did not restart.


UPDATE:    if you fly a  p38,  minimize game to  the desktop,  then  bring it back, the sound comes back.  might be a bug overall with the tu2

Check individual aircraft sounds.  I had to increase volume on the B17 sounds to hear them at all.

Newb question:


How do I check what version of DX I have in Win10?  What's the command to bring a DXDiag report in Win10?

I downloaded it twice, each time after the status bar completes, my Quicken file folder opens and I have not been able to locate the download.

I had the beta aready loaded and have been using that.  Have done several updates under that program (I assume that is the auto updater). Currently did third attempt. After red ptogtess bar completes my Quicken file folder opens, no evidence of AH download there. Looking in other areas to include AH files have been negative as well.

Is the betaIII 0 release 1.4 gig instead of 1.9? Downloaded beta from the forum link.  After 1.5 hr download, the file on trying to start, proceeded past the permissions of win7, but installer integrity check failed. Does AVG anti-virus have to be disabled to install?

I believe that's because you're seeing all the advanced sound choices. There aren't as many as there were in AH2. The scroll was probably carried over from AH2. There's a sticky thread on the new sound system.

You might have gotten a bad download. I had to get it 3 times before it passed the integrity check.

Yes, AVG can mess with the installer(s).  Any anti-xxx software can mess with the installer(s).

  I downloaded DX9, but it shows up DX11 when I bring up the game. Is this normal ?

The installer will auto-detect what version of the Windows operating system it is running on and create a desktop link to the version most native to that operating system.  You can still go to the "Aces High III" program listing from the "Start" button and select whichever one you want to run.

Is it really 1,388 Mb?

That's a heckuva patch.

Nef, read this (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,380904.0.html).

Testing with rift cv1

On carrier hangar deck, clipboard is way to close and the dot doesn't work to move it or for any other action like launching. That is true whether you use the mapped joystick button or the mouse click. I could launch from the tower.

Some sound problems:

KI84 engine sound is behind the pilot
P39 engine sound is in front of pilot
No mussle sound in tower or near a field or ship gun
Engine Sound of the plane near you, when your own engine is running

Still some work left

Not sure if this would be counted as a bug:

When creating a custom arena with the tunisia terrain for the first time, the game loads the terrain and terrset03 (which is 190 MB).  I don't remember AHII or AH3 earlier betas initiating download of terrset03.
Title: Re: Pre-release Patch 0 ** DX9 ** Released: Issues/Bug Reports
Post by: Easyscor on August 24, 2016, 10:12:36 PM
The game doesn't download the terrset(s) until the first time you need it. That saves on the initial download and allows the terrsets to be updated.

I created a custom arena.

Now, going back online, I don't see it, but it won't let me create a custom arena saying that I already have one created (and to go into it and reboot the arena if I want another).

Ouch! Yeah, you set it with a password didn't you. That's a bug that's like the whack-a-mole.

You'll need to use one of your SEAs

In Tu2's -- engines would cut out at random times.  Sometimes making high banked turns, sometimes with gradual turns, sometimes in a slight dive.  So it was both positive G and negative G movements.
