More traffic than I can respond to. I'll try to hit on a few of the questions that I've seen so far.
Clouds- I don't know yet because we haven't tried. Dale has a design in mind that he thinks will work nicely, but we won't know until we try. But we are planning to give it a whirl. We've been talking about making a micro-climate weather system where weather systems are greatly scaled down for playability. Weather doesn't do you much good if the whole server is grounded. (http://beta.hitechcreations.com/ubb/smile.gif)
Guncam- Definately. AH has been structured with most of the hooks for a guncam in place. However, I'm not planning on this to be finished before beta ends, but on the other hand, I won't be surprised if it is. If it's not it won't be long after that.
Planes- I still don't know what the initial plane set will be. Part of it depends on how fast we can crank them out and the other part depends on what I can get enough data on to be comfortable with. The initial planeset will be a mix of standard staples and exotics, but they're mostly centered around 1944 to start. As of now, we have a P-51D, Bf 109G-10, Spitfire Mk IX, and a B-17G under construction. Other planes slated to come soon will be the La-5FN, C.205, and N1K or Ki-84. I'm also thinking about using an He 111H-16 as a troop carrier to make the beta a bit more interesting. Past that, we're just going to keep adding planes as fast as we can until we can't think of anything worth doing anymore.

B-17G equal something to bomb equal a reason for the fighter jocks to intercept the buffs equal some strategic elements?
And a He-111H? Yum yum. Even if this will be a lumbering beast that late in the war (http://beta.hitechcreations.com/ubb/wink.gif)
Juve: You took your time (http://beta.hitechcreations.com/ubb/smile.gif)
I really hope that you italian guys finally see some italian fighters online - although I have no special relations to Italy other than relatively close geographic distance I really like the lines of the C.202 Folgore and C.205 Veltro - real beauties.

All I can say Pyro is go with the N1K Shinden (http://beta.hitechcreations.com/ubb/smile.gif)
We all know you can do a really nice Ki-84 (just look in WB's) , but lets see what you can do with a N1K (http://beta.hitechcreations.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)
I'm sure you can add a Ki at a later date really quickly with the prior experience.
Oh and just so everyone knows, I will offically be the VERY first "Niki DWEEB" (expect this type of rant since x4 20mm will be popular).
Hmmm will bribery work Pyro? What is your favorite liquor? Wild Turkey? Glen Fiddich? Just say the word <G> hehehe

Pyro,
we italians sent Macchi's data, say, two or three times to iMOL. First it was you, then --MO--, we cant remember how many times we did it.
I do really hope to see the beautiful C.205, so we'll be able to give hell to those red nosed Mustangs, at least at medium-low alt.
Anyway, I'll enjoy flying the G-10 as well, as we did in the real thing.
Good work and good luck.
Regards,

Good to see ya'll have something public
up, been wondering what you where up to.
Am looking forward to it.
Be nice to fly with a handle other than "imadrk" again. Not that it isn't
appropriate, but I hate having to explain
who I am to all my squad mates :0.
mand.

Gatt: Do you mind sending it again? That stayed behind when I left IMOL.
Mand: Good to see you again Bob. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Mand, can you send me an email?

What does this mean exactly?
Could it be... changing weather (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) On one day the sky is clear, some clouds or a heavy dark gray overcast (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) cool, huh?

Hello Pyro et al,
Thanks for C.205
And last but not least, I am very serious about learning how to become a beta tester.
I have a BS in Aerospace Engr, but switched to computer science/programming some 12 years ago. I'm quite serious about this.

Hey hardcase, nice to see ya here. Dunno if you remember, but you were the very first WB pilot to haze^H^H^H^H^H ask me if I was "good at flight sims". ;-)
-
Hey wait a minute if Finn and Mand get in !! what about me! since I can still go over to Finns house and shake him up (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) or take him out for golf.. and beat him up (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
tfgn out.

PYRO,
our official historian, Ferdinando D'Amico (id: Veltro), will be back in about 10/15 days.
We'll check our docs, monographies and original data, about the C.202 and C.205.
Then we'll see how and when send the stuff to you.
Can you please tell us wich model of Macchi will you probably model?
Best regards,
-gatt-

Yea we all know what he did with the N1k :-) nothing good :D :D

Do tell Freeez.
Detail and numbers, hell, add facts. Should be interesting.
-
I'm more interested in the c205, or the RE2005 really. Hey HT, get on your guys to get the super Italian plane in the game. It was late war, but it was used by the LW after Italy fell, and was one of the best performing planes of the era! Many american, brit, german, nip planes, but the italian side is lacking.

WOW, A bit of history we have hear......
Despite all the sweetying and moaning one thig should stay perfectly clear we are indead lucky to have AH, it is a wounderious thing a place whear dreams come true, those planes and tanks and boats on the pages of the books we have read since we were kids come alive and we can derive a great deal of pleashure in exploring them.
If I complane about what ever it is as they say "just busisness", not personal, I do appricate all the work all the fun all the madness, and in the end all I can realy say is TY.

Amen brudda :) :) well done said

WTF whyd yall bring this up? old posts should be locked
-
I am glade we can bring up old post's, although I am not shure why this was brought up. It is a good way to see where we came from, All that has been done, gives us cause for a moment of reflection.
It is also a great refrence tool, to look up info once posted, and some of my old post's from when we had a spell checker would be easer for you all to read:)
-
Are you making another flight sim?
-
Pardon my stupidity guys but I'm not getting this...Aren't half of the planes pyro stated already in AH? heh I went thru this topic fairly quickly so...ya know.
*Oh duuuh! this is an old post....lol*
-
I've been dying to find this out, what does beta mean?
-
Why did you answer a 3 year old post? Actually a 6 year old post that hasn't been active for 3 years?
And where exactly is the He-111? HMMMMM pyro??? Where is it? =P

Nice, a double-necro'ed thread.

I am so glad that you are going to impliment micro weather in the arenas. You guys at HTC are a company truly for their players. Thank you for considerations. You guys really are a good company that listens, thank you. As you know I have wanted weather like the kind y'all proposed and it is refreshing to see it being desighned.
:aok
PS.
I also agree with the He-111(not the spanish built) statement :D
