I have noticed that Aces High has some graphics that could be greatly improved with some added features to it. For instance, they should have a lens flare when looking into the sun (like Adobe Photoshop's lens flare) and you should be blinded by the sun (now that would be cool).
Also, the clock should be fixed because I know that a couple of people and I are sick and tired of flying in the morning, afternoon, and nightime. What happened to the sunset, or the fact that night time lasted more than just 15 minutes (unless you had the multiplier at 0) and simple things like that. That's all I can think of and if they fixed that for 1.09 (or even 1.08 Patch 5, 6, or 7 :D ) then I would be one happy person. ;) Let me know what you guys can think of.
P.S. If you've never heard of me it's because I'm a host on H2H (too poor to afford MA :p )

if the time multiplier was set to represent actual times there would be a lot of ppl really disapointed about having 12 hours of night time in the arena. i know i would. flying in the night is hard. it can be fun sometimes but much more than 15-20 minuets of it and i get extremely tired of it real quick

The "N" word was here, in poor taste, but not directed at any one.

I find your choice of words is disgusting. There is no excuse for this kind of language at ANY time!

This post above is a perfect reason for removal and a nice ban from the game. They need a vacation please. That is about as NON-american as it gets!! Also it really pisses me off

I don't see why they should add lens flare. I don't ever see lens flare it in real life--just in images captured on camera. Waste of CPU time IMO. There should be a much larger glare effect and blinding from the sun though, making attacks out of the sun possible.

Im with Sancho, big blind sun spot without the wacky graphic flare hit.
Certainly it has gameplay/realism possibilies.

cc, I'd really like to see what HT could come up with as far as a realistic "looking into the sun" effect. Kind of like driving home West on the freeway (hwy 26 for DJ) after work, and having to look in the direction of the setting sun. Of course, it always pissed me off on the freeway, don't know if it would in the game or not. :D

It would be kinda cool to have the added effect of looking into the sun, could make for some nice blinded ACM.

Lens Flare... we when you look thru a window is there not some sort of glare/reflection caused by the glass?

Sorry guys, that doesn't sound like the LaVa that I know. Hack maybe?

You guys do know that "cupcake" can also mean "cheapskate", as in one who requests improvements to a game that he is too cheap to pay for?
Not saying that's how it was meant, but it is a possibility.

Popeye, you are referring to this word, which is not the same thing, and should probably be avoided in everyday usage anyway simply because of its high likelyhood to be misconstrued as the base and disturbing word used above.
niggard
Main Entry: 1nig·gard
Pronunciation: 'ni-g&rd
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse hnøggr niggardly; akin to Old English hnEaw niggardly

: a meanly covetous and stingy person : MISER
- niggard adjective

Kratzer,
The Oxford English Dictionary defines "cupcake" to be a variant of "niggard", (as well as other definitions).
I agree, both terms should be avoided.

Lens Flare is an optical illusion produced by a camera. Hence the word "lens" in the label "Lens Flare".
As for sun glare it should be only a little bit bigger than the sun, for visualisation purposes- about half an inch around the AH sun but it shouldn't be circular. It should appear as large sharp and pointy objects coming away from the sun (like krypotinte I guess)...
Shouldn't block your whole view like when you are driving in your car- fighter pilots had much better aviation goggles to block out the sun than your average sun glasses.
