If ya missed it on Films page…

“Buzzsaw and Mindnao were taken out of rotation, Bowlma, Oceania, and Craterma were separated in the rotation”
We can thank him for that accomplishment
-
I would have traded SMpizza for Mindnao but I'm glad some adjustments were made! I think most of us can rejoice that Buzzsaw is finally gone. Thanks for switching somethings up Hitech!
-
Happy trails, Buzzsaw. You won't be missed.
-
Buzzsaw suffered to changes in ship navigation applied after it was introduced.
-
Thanks for making this happen JimmyD!

Thanks gentlemen, I'm just lucky enough to live fairly close to Hitech. :D

lol so ironic I was just starting to come around on Buzz. I will live.
Please don’t ever give in to the small map small crowd.

Next .... Turn off nighttime

:rofl I did get him to reduce it to 15 from 18 minutes. I'll keep that on my hot topic list. :devil
-
Anything helps. What's his reluctance to just turn it off?
-
How boring to have just one set daytime hour always. The last thing this game needs is less dynamic options.
-
The star constellations are super cool. I dont particularly like it too dark because yaks are even harder to shoot :rofl, but I have my gamma turned up a couple of points and that really helps a lot to where I can see the planes infront of me.

I like(d) all the maps in the rotation except for Northco. Really bummed that these are gone, variety is the spice of life, etc.

I get your point, but night time kills the action for most of an hour.
Also, it looks outright terrible. Dawn and dusk lighting cause this strange green tint to everything, including the clipboard. And then you get harsh on/off transitions to/from pure night. Also, the dawn, dusk, and night skies really highlight how misaligned the horizon of the sky is from the horizon from the visible ground.
It's bad in all ways.

If night time looked good it'd be great. But it looks like ass, as does dusk and dawn. IL2 has a hell of an immersive night time.

agreed
At the time it was implemented it cool,... but if you're going to A&B with other more modern graphics it's not going to fair well.

Apparently I'm in the minority, but I liked Mindanao.

As did I.

Was one of the better maps.. usually forced a large scale multifaceted fight in the middle of the map between all 3 countries. Apparently that's not what we are aiming for here.

Can someone send links or have any map layouts of our current ones?
For the life of me, I cant remember the names/layout of each.

Thanks Animal,
Just also looking for pictures of each map. I have a couple favs but can not for the life of me remember their names.

Here are some of them https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,409555.0.html
You can find them all here C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III\ah3terr\iconcache but they are pretty small
And here are more in another post. https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,406875.0.html

Thanks FUGI :aok

Can we do the current map grinder next? Maps with giant holes in the middle are a killer. I would love to fly across the map to the heavily populated, double-sector dar bar at the Knight/Bishop front but that was just one last bridge too far. Even though it was raging all night, unfortunately It would have required me to fly across 49,000 miles of ocean. Could maps like this one have more interconnected GV spawns?
Yes to more maps that bring the three countries together and no that’s not two countries only.
:old: New idea… How about some neutral bases sprinkled throughout each map that have GV spawns from all three countries? They could be from the bases that cannot be taken so to always ensure access to all.
If not neutral they could be country specific but still be always accessible by all countries always.

If there is an interest, I could post copies of all my maps. Just let me know. :rock

If you’re looking for a project, perhaps you could update the North America map. I think it’s really great, but it has some crowding. Maybe shed five or six bases from each team?
