Woud YOU pay for more planes in AH ?
Hitech posted about paying 1 mil dollars for modelling a new plane for someone hehe , wel what i like to know if we the players woud pay some for more planes ?
I realy dont know how many players there is in AH but 3k + ???
Of those players 10 % hardcore players ??
If HT made US choose 6 new planes , 2 more vehicles and 1 bomber and a new boat woud we pay and if so how mutch ? the choosing of planes woud ofcourse be WWII ones and choosed in a poll here on BB .
Woud just be nice to see how dedicated the players are :)

Id prefer to pay :eek: for:
- "engine losing power when hit" model and no plane losing oil and fighting and running like mad
-new 3d cockpit restyling
- instruments with original metric measurement
- a little light in the cockpit
and wathever makes the simulation "more real", than have new planes, at the moment......
my 2 cents, of course;)

The post you are refering to the person wanted korean war planes ie. a completely new game from HTC. NOT additions to AH.

I remeber when hitech first opened up the servers for AH (3 years ago?) He mentioned somethign while online in the game about someone wanting to pay him 30 or $40,000 for the game back then. AH was in a pretty rudimentary form back then though. Now my memory (or hitech's spelling) could have been faulty, but this is what I remember.

Yes, but would you pay? If HTC posted a voting method where the highest voted for equipment was made. Every vote would cost, say $5.00. If you voted, and your choice won, the $5.00 would be deducted from your AH account, if you voted, and your choice lost, you get charged nothing.
Example:
new fighter choices
1. P-51H
2. P-38J
3. 109-K4
4. Ki-84
Every player would have the oppurtunity to vote on a new A/C model.
So let's say I voted for the P-51H and Wotan voted for the 109-K4. Then, 50 more people voted for the P-51H and only 30 voted for the 109-K4. The P-51H therefore recieved 51 votes :D and the 109, only 31, therefore the P-51H wins.
Now, because I voted for the 51H, my AH account is charged the $5.00 and I am happy, and HTC gets $255.00 income to model the 51H. All the guys that voted for the 109-K4 might not be as happy, but they don't loose any money either.
Anyway, the next time HTC does a vote for a new plane, it could be choices between
1. P-38J
2. 109-K4
3. KI-84
4. (some new choice)
Eventually, the player's choices would all be modeled and HTC would be making extra $$$ in the process.

If two planes cost $ (http://www.inettek.com/stuff/1million.wav) then $500,000.00 per plane is pretty steep. We may have to rob a bank or two.

HiTech may have intrepeted it that way but all you really need is two planes in separate arena using an existing map or one a user could whip up pretty quick.

no more metrics!
:D

HTC has been adding planes since I started playing a year ago,and hasn't charged extra yet.
GB people who want to pay extra for something we are already getting.
-
With 500k per plane and 4000 paying players we would get one new plane every 8 months at best (if full 15$ were for a new plane). Something's wrong with the price ;)
-
nope, but I would probably start paying $15 per month if the Helldiver were modelled.
-
I once offerred $1,000 from Ripsnort to HTC for a P61.
Pyro sounded interested.

Hmmm....thought that was what I was paying for now. Gameplay, service and development.

I would pay 49.95 for an updated version of AH that graphically was the equal of FA 3.5, or CFS3, or IL2.
Would in a heartbeat.
