Title: PLEASE...something new for us non-VR customers.
Post by: Max on November 07, 2018, 04:43:47 PM
I believe the last new addition to the air or ground lineup was 4 years ago. C'mon...throw us a bone.

No idea about the last vehicle introduced, but the most recent bomber was the Tu-2 in January 2014. The most recent fighters were the Yak-3 and Yak-7 in July 2013.
Don't hold your breath.

They've been updating existing ancient models. Personally I think it's a pretty decent idea. Much as I'd like a G55...

A community aircraft editor? :D
Might be cool at least for non-MA.

I absolutely agree that this game desperately needs new non-VR content. I still play with keypad views for cod sake, so this VR stuff is meaningless to me. I am sure that I am not the only VR-challenged player.

Not before 180 deg fov. The hardware might noy be too far away in the form of starvr, but that's not marketed to end users, and then that of course requires a different kind of projection. So sadly it will still take quite a while. Let's hope there's enough momentum to get there.

So Hitech is not doing things for the none VR customers. Any of you helping test the new patch Skuzzy posted becasue of a major change Hitech is rolling out? Not very sexy in the terms of toys but, this has to get done to keep making the game better for everyone. The Man has been very busy for us.
/********************** version 3.04 patch 1 ************************/ 1. Switch to a new internal browser using Chromium Embedded Framework instead of awesomium.
2. Now using Vissual studio 2017 for compilations.
4. Fixed a bug with the object editor not importing DOF nodes correctly.
5. Fixed a CTD when trying to schedual a mission in custom arenas.

Nice job misconstruing what my post said. Let's try it again... I believe the last new addition to the air or ground lineup was 4 years ago. That's a fact, Jack
I've been a subscriber since AH1 ...circa 2002. Frankly, my level of interest in playing has waned significantly since the "shine" of AH3 wore off...a few months ago. A new plane or ground game piece would be a nice addition, and frankly, IMHO long overdue. I don't appear to be the only one in this camp.
And, by the way, it's non

not to fussed about new planes or tanks unless it is the meteor mkIII jet.
i would like new graphics and terrain. Yes it needs doing again and better.

There are a few planes that could use some work on the cockpit art: A20, Tempest, 109s, maybe others.

Dear Hitech,
Is it possible for Waffle to show excerpts from any upcoming new work soon to be released like he has in the past?

And a week after a KW arena opens, it would be as populated as WW1
Apples and toilet paper. A Korean arena (MA or not) already has more toys modeled for it than the WWI arena (and if the WWI arena had more toys, it might have more interest, though I'd be willing to bet new blood would go MiG Alley on us). What you would see, however, would be players gathering as many perk points as possible to stay in their beloved Sabre or MiG. :D

If you recall, it was designed rather sparsely. ;)
It took them over a year to make AH3. Now you want them to ignore AH3 so they can build a "Korean War" arena with enough equipment/planes/background to make it a viable plan?
I want some of what your smokin ;)

Neh, whatever you're smokin' is strong enough. Adding to AH3 is not ignoring AH3. A lot of what would go into a KW arena is already in game. And no, it doesn't require killing any of the current arenas to model a Sabre and a MiG.
Stop trying to make this out to be something more difficult than what I'm suggesting. ;)

It was the best thing out there, in its day. But AW's WWII arena had a lot more toys than KW. Right now, AH has a lot more to plug into a KW environment than AW did. If two models, the Sabre and MiG, were developed, we'd have a functional KW arena to try out/promote. If it fizzles like some here predict (hope) then we still have all the pieces for KW events with less effort than it took for graphics update 1. If it doesn't, then there'd not only be a potential draw (new blood) alongside the dedicated survivors but room to expand.
Our WWII toy box is pretty full. Many of us have been asking for some event gaps to be filled but the MA can't really get much more uber. The only practical add, if players are going to insist on new models, would be this or a dozen ships or a lot more models to bring in the SCW. I merely decided to go the easiest route with the fewest models. No meltdowns required. :D

It takes around 6 months or so to build a plane for the game, I dont know if that covers the research as well, but even if we go with 6 months, your looking at a year to get it together. As they dont have a huge "art" team, nor do they have a huge coader team, they would basically have to ignore the rest of the game to devote the time necessary to to put together an arena that when compared to the MA, will most likely not be utilized any more than the than the "Axis and Allies" arena.
Sure its a great idea, a fun diversion, but from a business stand point, a colossal waste of time and energy.

I know, as well as anyone, the small staff HT employs. Modeling anything new, whatsoever, involves such. This is a thread about new models (and maybe even new and exciting ideas - for modeling for just modeling's sake seems the very epitome of the waste of time and energy you lament). :aok

Ehh I dunno. I've seen it and used it and I just have no interest or desire to invest into it.
VR isn't doing well all over the gaming industry...we all know what industry it's going to take over but I think I'd get moderated for saying it. :aok
Upgrading the models is good enough IMO, dont add new aircraft before having the game up to their par.

Yup, but it is the only info we have. Seeing as the fluctuation day to day is pretty quick jumps I'm thinking the y axis is pretty low. Jumping 20 players from day to day doesn't make a lot of sense.
