Title: That time?
Post by: BiPoLaR on September 15, 2016, 09:38:26 PM
It is time to come back? Been looking at some vids of AH3. Not bad at all. Thing is, Can I find a shovel big enough to dig all the dust off my JS.

  He's flying for our Axis side, we've got him covered.   If you get him, I'll let you have Betsy for an entire hour.   Of course, HB555 will have to give her a shower first and fix her bow.

I thought the original plan was to Sign in as usual and your current version would be replaced with the new version of code.  I guess that isn't the way it will happen?

I believe that's scheduled for Monday. I don't know if they're replacing your AH2 installation then or just installing AH3 along with it and importing your settings.

AH3 is a lot different than AH2---sunday-18th is last day for AH2

what I did-and was easiest for me was to uninstall AH3 Beta- go to home page redownload AH3  30-45 mins

everything works fine

Yea, my point was that at one time HTC posted in here , that when AH3 went live that the auto download thing that downloads all the updates would download it.  I guess that plan fell by the wayside.  Anyway I copied AH2 to  a back up drive, change the pointers in the Icons to point to AH2 then I uninstalled AH2 from my gaming drive and down loaded the AH3, 14 min. here.

My guess is they wanted to give everyone one last weekend in AH2. Come Monday, when they click on AH2 it will auto download AH3. I would say that that plan is still in place, and hasn't fell anywhere.

This is what HiTech said in his post in the AH beta forums

Quote
If all is stable in the 41 patch,next week we will be ending the beta process and we will go into pre-release testing.

In the pre-release phase

1. AH will install into the final new release folder.

2. Arenas will be live with perks points, and will configured how the current late war is. And scoring will be counted.

3. The only thing we are formally testing for at that point will be installation the into new directory, and host configuration issues, and copying in AH2 settings.

4. At the end of the pre-release phase we will simply stop AH2, and it will auto download AH3 v1.0

Pre-release phase ends Monday when AH3 goes live.

It has fallen by the wayside if the plan as originally published was to auto download AH3 when it went live, that didn't happen, AH3 is live. today, not Monday.

You didn't read HiTech's post that I quoted.  AH3 will auto-download like he says starting on Monday when AH3 is out of pre-release and goes "Live".  Going "Live" in the gaming industry is the term for when a game is officially released, which is Monday.

Sometimes plans change. Sometimes general plans become more specific. It can be confusing. Keeping up with news on the forum can help.

When I signed in to AHII the MOTD from HTC said "Aces High III has gone live."

That to me sounds like it Live and not what you call pre-release live.

I was asking myself the same question after watching some recent AH3 videos. I haven't flown in Aces High, posted on these forums, or even touched a JS in over 10 years.

I was a lot younger back then, and most likely a better pilot back then too.

On a side note, does Wax still roam the skies of Aces High?

So your complaining because HiTech allowed AH2 to stay up for one last weekend? Regardless, AH2 will cease to exist come Monday.

Read what HiTech posted again.  AH3 is currently in "pre-release" which ends Monday.

When you sign on to AH2 the message of the day pops up and this is what it says:

"Aces High III has gone live.

The upcoming weekend (9/17-18) will will be the last weekend for Aces High II."

That message is from HTC.

Traveler is unhappy with Hitech so is being passive\aggressive until the bitter end.

1. - He wins by nit picking and being contrary without being modded or png'd.
2. - He wins if he gets png'd because it validates his unhappiness with Hitech over something only he knows or cares about.

On the internet it's called trolling.
