Turn off all of the details at first and start adding them as you go. I have heard that some people are turning down some of the eye candy and they claim to have good FPS.
Hope that helps.

hitech should make a torrent so i can download it in 3 minutes, i would seed it

Only took me about 10min to download.

it has much better frame rates now than when it was first released.
.....
I prefer the DX11 version. I seem to get the best fps and it seems to look better as well.
.....
:salute

My download took 16 minutes (28 meg down cable)
If this is your 1st time in AHIII or beta, go to options> graphic detail and check all DISABLE boxes and turn all slider options low detail/miles. Once your baseline frame rate is determined, add back as much as you can, keeping the FR playable.
Hitech used an Nvidea 9800GTX card to develop/debug so unless your card is WAY old, it should run reasonably well for you. I'm getting 55 - 59 FR with a GF 960GTX 2 GB card.
The graphics are STUNNING, especially on the ground, in terms of detail. <S> HTC for the many, many months of hard work!!

Points and scores count in AH3 now, if you care about such things. I right away spotted some 262/163 action going on as well as bomb and bail. :old:
-
9 min download for me. 35-50FPS with my radeon HD 6950 at default settings. I'm pleasantly surprised.
-
Installing. :aok

You can copy the "settings" and "skins" folders from the old Beta directory to the new Aces High III directory.

I am having the None Key problem again with being in a field gun because my mouse cursor wont show up and the gun moves when clipboard is up

Copy over settings and skins from beta folder...you will be good to go.
-
will it automatically start download from the beta log in or do I have to download fresh
-
it will run from the beta login. But for me it put it into the beta temp folder and I had to manually run it from there.
It installs into it's own home though and not over the beta version.

Only 20 People atm, looking forward to a busier time!

I cant count how many times i logged into the Alpha or Beta and was the only one in there.

When you logged on they logged off :)

5:30 PM EST more in AHIII then in AHII MA.

5:30 PM EST more in AHIII then in AHII MA.
At this very moment, there are 100 in AHII and 45 in AH III. Each time I in the past hours, AH III had considerable less numbers.
Which is no surprise, I guess it will stay like that until AH II is shut down.
-
i think they should shut down ah2 or we will never get full load testing.

Pssst, Terry,

There were fun fights on two fronts. :aok

Hey OldMan :salute

Do we need to remove the beta version and load from scratch,
or can we just update the beta?
Thanks;
Goat
-
You can run it like you would an update to the beta, but it is it's own animal and installs to it's own home.
I removed the beta after installing AH3
You don't have to remove the beta though. You can keep AH2 Beta and AH3 on the same machine.

Thanks

Hmm I seem to remember several times in Alpha & Beta you shooting me down or me shooting you in a tank. :aok

Finally got my new Windows 10 build, AND managed to keep the kids away from Minecraft VR ...
Wow... the beta is looking awesome. The 3D stuff in the cockpit has that feeling of if you reached out you could touch it. External sounds are so immersive, I had a long fight with tonks - P47M vs Yak-9T... it felt so good (probably not for tonks, he got a 37mm enema... in the end - get it! in the end :D )

Sigh. What's the trick to make it work?

Can you explain with a little more detail?
How did you go about downloading it? by way of auto-updating the AH beta? or manually downloading this Full Version Aces High III pre-release and installing it?

Manual download of dx11 version, clean install. Will load now but no sound. Xonar X7 - "No speakers detected. No sound for you" message. Has headphones plugged in and selected on the card.
Has caused several Explorer crashes post game exit requiring reboot to fix.

Voch5, first off Aces High III pre-release downloads both DX versions, the desktop icon it places on your desktop is for what ever DX version that is most native to your OS/computer setup
Go to the programs list and you will see both links to both DX9 & DX11
Try running it in the DX9 mode and see if you have the same problem
Also, did you copy your AH beta settings folder over from the beta patch 41 to the new full version AH 3 pre-release install?
Also, I recommend that you post this in the AH Beta forum.... I recommend that all others posting potential issues in this thread to post them in the AH beta forum as well
Hope this helps, let us know

AH3 is up and running and we should be all using it to test. Plus there are differences so better to get used to them now. It was my understanding that the only difference between pre release and after is that AH2 will be gone after. They have spent a lot of time creating a wonderful product and it is sad to see large numbers ignoring it! IMHO

But there's always a good chance that at least some ignoring the new product do not find it wonderful at all ;)
And of course, there's also a general aversion to change with many of us old people as well :old:

had a good time yesterday euro evening on AH3 :aok

Are you new to AH?

Shuuussh!!
Don't ruin the drama of the moment. You were just as happy to see me as I was to see you. And I only let you shoot me so much so I wouldn't be alone with all those bugs....... :lol

Same issue with DX9.

Its not a patch update but a new release. It should install to a new directory, IE: C:/Hitech Creations/Aces High III

Yeah thanks I just downloaded the full version. During which it asked if I wanted all the settings from II installed as well. How does this option work? Do ALL settings from II auto-install? I noticed my gun sights changed back to standard. I only ask cause I dont know when I'll actually have time to play. Thank you.

I haven't looked that close, but I think it's the controller mappings and maybe the head view settings. I use Track IR, so am not sure about the head positions.

I think there's new gunsights. old ones may not work anymore. they may have to be converted. but the skins you can transfer manually.

I noticed that not all the settings transfer over. I had to set up my mic and headphones again in the sound options, those settings didn't get imported I guess when I picked the option to import AH2 settings.
For the gunsights, I'm using Bustr's historical gunsight package that I had copied over from AH2 into the AH3 beta. When I installed the pre-release version of AH3, I repeated what I did during the beta, just copied and pasted the "sights" folder from AH3 beta into the pre-release version.

I didn't have to pick new gunsights, I just copied the sights folder from the beta (having copied the folder from AH2) into the pre-release version's folder.

You can swap the skins folder from the AH Beta folders to the new AH3 folders.

However, if you didn't dl them from beta the AH2 skins folder WILL NOT work.

Thanks I had some time to work things out, copy gun sights,....ect I'll install them as I play. Which will be soon since I went ahead and subscribed even tho it will be months until I have the time to play much.
As an old time member I thought I should sub as a sign of support. Seeya in the skies.

Gunsights
When you run the AH3 install, the sights folder is populated with all the historic gunsights correctly assigned to aircraft and gunnery positions. If you look around in the sights folder there are a small number of extras, night sights. Hitech updated the alpha slider so you can open the gunsights app in flight and adjust the brightness on the fly.
All gunsights you were using in AH2 will work in AH3. Before doing anything, if you have a bunch of favorite gunsights in AH2, make a backup copy of that folder to pick and choose from. My historic package for AH2 became the gunsights in AH3. Hitech and Waffle were very kind in that respect.
I've finished up an offline gunnery training terrain so you can shoot at drones with the wirbel as close as 500 yards. Practice shooting at bombers in the 88 from 7k. Sit on two firing lines in your tank to shoot at tank objects out to 4miles or tanks every 1000yds to 4000yds. Practice torpedo bombing from 1250ft air spawns, or 15k level bombing practice so you don't waste time climbing out. Even an 88 and 17lb on the tank firing ranges with high elevation long range spawns over looking the firing ranges. 50 or more static tanks sitting in a tank town and a town to get used to seeing them in the trees and behind buildings. Since there are three task forces, you have multiple shore batteries, PT spawns along all the task force paths, and this means being able to practice ship to ship 8inch offline. To finish it off, an air spawn for fighters so you can get right at your drones.
I need to package it in a 7zip self installer so you don't have to worry about where to place files or create a new folder. At this point I'm assuming Hitech has finalized the install path for AH3.

Lovin it! :old: :joystick: :rock :aok :cheers:

I got to spend a couple hours in AH3 today until the Bish won the map.....again.
I have to say it is a big step up from AH2. I have read here that some complain about the graphics....too green, gamy looking, dashboards too dark and so on. Im going to say none of that, but I will say it is different. And in this case "different" is AWESOME! Im amazed at how much fun it is to fly in AH3.
The sound, while I have read that a number of people cant wait until the custom sound guys can build new sound files, I say screw that! The sounds while the volumes need some tweaking are great! The guns sound really good with some nice bass backing. They sound like they have some omph, some meat. I always thought the guns in AH sounded weak, but now they feel/sound like they have power!. I do think the tracers and hit sprites are weak and I really miss the immersion I had in AH2. I don't get lots of kills, but seeing those flashes of hits even for an assist always raised my blood pressure.
Im going to try flying with a FOV of 80 (new default) and see how that works. I cant wait until we get some field maps as picking out target right now really gets you chewed up by ack.
Looking Great HTC! I just hope the numbers grow!

Kind of surprised nothing on the home page about this pre-release thing. :headscratch: (Yes, I know I'm a bit late on that one... :noid)

AHIII is awesome :old:
If you don't like it leave :old:
Only thing is the Butler telling me we are being attacked, pipz like his voice by the way :old:

I'm convinced the butler is yarbles. Hope he got a decent paycheck.

You can swap the skins folder from the AH Beta folders to the new AH3 folders.
see that's how much I know--thankyou

No kiddin I heard the Butler say "The sheep must be protected" once hehehe

Fixed my issues by putting an SSD in with a Windows 10 build and installing it in that.
AHIII is more of a substantial upgrade than I expected. It's really, really good.
-
The game is gorgeous even with default settings, I for one really enjoy the sounds (especially when planes explode 100' in front of me), and (it may be placebo) but I feel like my 50's have more oomph (if it's placebo don't ruin it, darn it! It also might just be that I can't see most hit sprites so I think a few 50's are shredding something when really it is just the same).
It was great to see 90 people on when I showed up this evening. WTG HTC :aok

I'm not a gun sound connoisseur but the explosions *are* really nice. :x

It is a very nice upgrade.

Yeah get in it at night instead of II guys. The action is a lot of 1 on 1 and usually focused on 1 or 2 bases, pure dog fight. If you want in on good fights get into III now.
