Title: I Quit the Dark
Post by: Sloehand on November 09, 2016, 12:33:55 AM
My choice. Due to visibility factors of the AH3 which are wrong-headed. I refuse to play in the dark. No point. Can't see anything anyway. So now I log on, and if it's anywhere near to 'night time', I log off. Bye bye AH. Someday, I won't want to pay $15 every month to log off half the time in frustration.
Question: HiTech, you do intend for the players to actually be able to PLAY the game, right? Realism is great and usually a good thing if not taken to the point where people can't accurately visualize and play the game. This is certainly not the case for most players, but there are a lot who are having trouble with various visual clues and settings, etc. Probably not enough for anyone to give dam.
This is just FYI for anyone who, on some far away planet may care. As a customer, I believe it's my responsibility to provide feedback, good or bad. By the way, the ground graphics and the clouds are really great.
I know I'll get the usual crap from the usual people. My response to that is go get what you would be if you were... "attached to another object by an incline plane wrapped helically around an axis". :confused:

I have to agree....although it is the one time I don't lose the aircraft against the ground as it seems they are "spotlighted".
I don't find it immersive, I find it more annoying. And the twilight affecting the Clipboard is not a good "feature" as well.

I think the dark times look stunning. If I log in when it's dark it gives me the opportunity to chat with my squadmates, plan our next move, pour me some beverage etc.
Actually arriving during the "night" adds immersion to me. Waiting for the dawn is like waking up from a dream called "the real life" and starting a new day in a virtual reality. Instead of just jumping into an eternal noon the dawn makes me look at the weather, check the wind, wonder whether it's going to be a calm day or a glorious one...

I also do not fly in the dark. When I see dusk I head on back to base. Some folks like it though.
The one exception is for Christmas last year, I stuck it out and flew the dark hoping to see Santa but he never made it to our area.

I was trying to attack a cv against 4 to 1 odds to no avail then night fell and I was able to get close enough for an attack before finally returning to earth in my chute. :uhoh
Even in daylight AH3 can be much more difficult than the AH2 you were used to. Things seem to happen much more quickly and you have to be on top of your game. Nighttime may exasperate that. Can't wait for a nighttime rainy thunderstorm. :devil

Some of the best fights I have been involved with, happened in the Dark times :aok Its always the same thing, "Too many trees; water looks flat; its dark;sound pack sucks", BUT STILL those guys fly on!!! Its not perfect, but its the best thing I have ever been able to play. At least alot of the complaints are discussed in the BBS, where it belongs. I really get peeved when it hits the in game messaging. I believe in corrective criticism, thats how you make things better. Just remember, there arent 100 fat guys in a basement somewhere, writing code for YOUR game. Pretty sure its more like 4 or 5 :devil Its alot like griping about the new maps and their terrain...have you tried to make a custom terrain? Sounds easy enough, pretty sure that a new sense of respect would come about, for the guys that did all that work. :cheers:

If it were actually a full-on night fighting game with radar like they had, engine flames that showed like they do IRL, cockpit lights that could be on or off but if they were off, you couldn't see your gauges, spotlights, etc etc that could be interesting.
But flying day fighters in the night when they would've been grounded is a bit silly.

So if you go in to get an appendectomy and your doctor removes a kidney or your liver, you shouldn't complain because doctoring is hard? Just because something is difficult doesn't mean the results are above criticism. A valid point is a valid point, regardless of whether the person bringing it up can create/has created a map. :cheers:

AH 2 was so predictable that you almost could tell when and were a cv would show up at a certain base etc. There was very little unknown aspects of the game. AH 3 with new base layouts, new strats, night time etc at least gives some new aspects to the game and a challenge to master them. I say: accept the challenge instead of jut wishing that everything was just the way they were...

Are you ready to accept the challenge of changing your video settings so you can see things at night and make the environment look like crap?
Are you hardcore enough to watch your altimeter in the middle of a low altitude fight so you don't run into the invisible water?
If so, you may be good enough to play Aces High 3!

Post by: Wiley on November 09, 2016, 11:17:37 AM
If it were me, I'd be interested that people are considering quitting because of the nighttime. I'd also be interested to know that it irritates people. Some people phrase things badly or occasionally throw tantrums (not saying that's the case here) about things on the internet. Regardless of tone, it's the reason behind it that's important.
One thing that's crossed my mind, I'm not sure how it is now but it seemed the last couple times I logged in at about the same time of day that the ingame time was the same time. IE- I logged in in the dark around 7 Monday, I logged in in the dark around 7 Tuesday. It seemed like maybe a day ingame was set to some multiple that means if you log in at 7 PM it will be the same time ingame every time until the map changes.
If that's the case, what I might suggest is setting the passage of time to be something that doesn't divide into 24 hours evenly so if people habitually log in at the same time, they aren't getting the same time of day all the time. It would add variety and possibly make people less sick of the night if it's not every day they log in at the same time until the map changes.

Agreed - on all points. Back in the Olde Days, there was mass exodus from the arena when darkness fell, because darkness lasted quite a long time. The new time limitation does allow one to prepare a dawn patrol, or to land a dusk for the benefit of the news photographers clustered by the tower. And you don't sacrifice much Real Time while catching up on your virtual sleep.

Yup, that's my main concern. There is a point where trying to be perfectly 'realistic' trying to represent the 3D real world in a 2D cartoon game, becomes distracting and un-playable for many. Admittedly, it's a real challenge to get it right. I know HiTech is trying to get it right, but he should listen to the players a bit more, and then ask himself if a feature he includes makes the game more or less... 'playable for most everyone'. Cause that's the point of the whole thing, to play it.

I don't pay $15 a month to contemplate a cartoon moon and stars, however 'cool' they may be. I pay to play a reasonably challenging game that I feel I can compete in to some degree and thereby gain some entertainment and enjoyment value. Put some feature (especially visually) into the game which diminishes that and you lose my interest fast.

The Germans did fly 109s and 190s at night without any radar equipment. They did have radio guided navigation and assisted-landing equipment though. These "Wilde Sau" units would be directed by ground controllers to areas were RAF bombers were caught in searchlights and attack them. When there was sufficient moon light they would also attack targets of opportunity on their own.

EXACTLY :aok Put your altimeter into your gun sight area. Its not too dificult to change gamma, like 4 seconds max. Dont like the water, dont fight over it. Sure that may be where everyone is fighting, but you dont or cant fight near water. Fine, pretty sure water terrain is a lot more sparse than land terrain, so no problem. If thats more than you can put up with, sorry it didnt work out for you. I understand the complaints, we all have something we dont like and wish was different. Like I said in a previous response, corrective criticism is all well and good!!! Incessant whining and complaining solves nothing. Adapt or not, I cant do it for you.

The night is for our protection. Hasn't there been enough of R.I.P. posts yet? Without the dark minutes we'd sit for unlimited hours. Now, unless night fighting really is your thing, darkness gives you a valid excuse to get off your chair.
What I'm referring to can be read E.G. here: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/sitting/faq-20058005 (http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/sitting/faq-20058005) and here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/national/the-health-hazards-of-sitting/750/ (https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/national/the-health-hazards-of-sitting/750/). Cardiovascular disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome... Or a five minutes break.
I also find the night prettier than a five minutes forced pause.

oh jeez, really, you all log off or going to quit because of a few minutes of darkness ..does that mean you all don't drive at night? the only problem I have is dusk is a little harder to see the tanks-and the ocean is black-but I'm not gonna quit or log off because of it.
saying you are going to quit if they don't get rid of the night, is basically blackmail-it's not right.
and there's that WORD I hate they use in these forums-IMMERSIVE I hate that word.
it's used whenever somebody wants to change the game. nuff said.

I don't think we actually have a "night time". We have "dusk", that lasts what about 15 minutes real time in which it goes from day into night. Then it jumps to "dawn" which is like another 15 minutes going from night to day. I skips right over "night time" that is why you see the sun jump from going down in the west to coming up in the east. If we had "night time" you wouldn't see that jump just like you dont see it in the day.
So for those of you that don't like the night, BOING! Wish granted, we don't have night. :devil
Personally I don't like it either, just makes it too hard to see for these old eyes.

But next full moon is Nov 14. wait for it... a super moon, largest full moon since 1948 , wont be this full again till nov25 2034

True but we do not have searchlights that lit up the clouds nor flares, so shadows of the bombers would make an attack possible.
The Germans did fly 109s and 190s at night without any radar equipment. They did have radio guided navigation and assisted-landing equipment though. These "Wilde Sau" units would be directed by ground controllers to areas were RAF bombers were caught in searchlights and attack them. When there was sufficient moon light they would also attack targets of opportunity on their own.

usally when HiTech want to add a new plane or gv he does a poll/vote
maybe he should do a poll/vote to see how many want the night, and how many do not.
what do you'all think?
I believe he only did this once or twice, and we got the B29 once. For the most part HTC decides what they will add and how they will add it and then they do it.
As for the night, like I said, we don't have full night. We get dusk and dawn., just like we did in AH2. The difference is the sky in AH3 as well as all the other graphics are much more dramatic.
I doubt very much you will see much of a change from what we have now.

Hey Sloe, I pay my $15 just to, mainly, fly in FSO and the occasional Scenario. I sometimes appear in the MA while at work, but then only for a few minutes. But that's about all I have time for, and to me it's worth it. I find night time annoying (in AH) but since I encounter it so rarely it isn't an issue with me. I just hope to continue flying with you in FSOs and Scenarios.

:airplane:|====< Slowhand, why can't you see? I love the dark and mostly I love the new clouds, flying through them is about as realistic as you can get in this type of game. I have many hours actual IFR and night time love both of these features, makes the game more fun. I do think the dawn portion of the night lingers a little bit to long.
My choice. Due to visibility factors of the AH3 which are wrong-headed. I refuse to play in the dark. No point. Can't see anything anyway. So now I log on, and if it's anywhere near to 'night time', I log off. Bye bye AH. Someday, I won't want to pay $15 every month to log off half the time in frustration.
Question: HiTech, you do intend for the players to actually be able to PLAY the game, right? Realism is great and usually a good thing if not taken to the point where people can't accurately visualize and play the game. This is certainly not the case for most players, but there are a lot who are having trouble with various visual clues and settings, etc. Probably not enough for anyone to give dam.
This is just FYI for anyone who, on some far away planet may care. As a customer, I believe it's my responsibility to provide feedback, good or bad. By the way, the ground graphics and the clouds are really great.
I know I'll get the usual crap from the usual people. My response to that is go get what you would be if you were... "attached to another object by an incline plane wrapped helically around an axis". :confused:

bomb hits at night are awesome also along with blowing stuff up, I cannot understand the dislike for the dark.

I enjoy fighting in the dark. I would love a chance to use night fighters and hunt exhaust flames.

We have darkness and no instrument lighting, does not help a bit to make it more playable.

What dark?? As soon as the sun sets it rises, we are never without sun. If that's too dark for you then you need to calibrate your monitor because it's way off.

Play on the east side at dusk or the west side of the map during dawn. There's a period where the sky's black.
