A year ago this past Sunday was the day we announced AH, opened our website and message board, and gave a September date for open beta. Just imagine where we'll be in another year.

Just imagine where we'll be in another year.
If I said in an arena that contained naval ops, large scale multi-frame scenarios, supply and supply interdiction, air-sea rescue and an assortment of perked "what if" planes, would I be close? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Wow, congrats guys.
It's amazing what you folks have accomplished, particularly with such a small group of folks. (6 I think.)
Cheers HTC.

Congrats!
I remember the 1st couple of hours in the beta... firing at a couple of 'green' planes because those green planes were shooting at me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). We finally got the whole Rook, Bish, Knight thing down.
Where will you guys be in a year? Just look how far you've *come* in a year! I couldn't even begin to speculate. Thanks for the ride HTC, I've enjoyed every minute of it.

"Just imagine where we'll be in another year"
What a great tag line. Anchored in reality which is in styark contrast with the wishful hopes and dreams of what might come, someday, for someone and if they believe enough (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
To be honest, this is half the reason for my enthusiam with AH. The other half is enjoying what we currently have as well as being customers to the superb company you six folks are who make up HTC have become.
I can't imagine what will be coming between now and July of 2001 but I for one am excited. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

And just think, within that 1 year time, without drinking any alcohol, and basically living a clean life, your brain has degenerated and lost approximately 5,326,388 brain cells!
I don't know what that has to do with the price of tea in China, but thought I would mention it!
Congrats!

Congrats on all the great work! Even though I have never played AH, there is ample evidence that you have developed an awesome game/simulation.
Not being a member of this "community", I can only hope (imagine) for you all that a year from now AH is THE recognized highest quality multiplayer sim out there. This implies, in my opinion, three different things:
1. More of the same: Receptivity to player input and frequent innovation and error correction.
2. A widening of the game´s appeal by extending plane selection and "type of fighting" to the early war, as well as organizing frequent, diverse, and high quality historical scenarios and events.
3. A further widening of the game´s appeal by developing versions for different and significant platforms, as your two main competitors are doing: Mac, Linux, or both.
I hope and trust that this community takes advantage of the creators´ receptivity to their suggestions, and encourages them to maintain their wonderful performance on #1,while urging them to improve their performance on #2 and #3.
Think of it... If players push for, and the creators do, the last two points, I cant see any reason for any serious high fidelity simulator fan to go anywhere else than here, with the possible exception of WWIIOL for ground war types.
It´s all about widening the appeal of AH for all the serious flight-simmers who would otherwise fail to appreciate the creators´ efforts. I think that´s important.
Cheers,
figaro (a guest, thank you for reading me)

Ok, break's over,back on your heads (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
In all seriousness, I wish to thank you for making a bona-fide winner of a game,and holding to a tradition of continuos improvement. kudos
To all reviewers who say the flightsim is dead, stick this in your eye.

Has anyone got a site up with 'historical' AH screenshots?
I mean, 1 year ago, well, you'd have a kind of black&white grainy screenshots and then continuously improving until the current quality (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
Hehe I'm sorry but I got to say it.
Also imagine where wwIIol, TF2, Tribes 2 and countless others will be a year from now (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
Congratulations HT & CO. You all have done an outstanding job in my humble opinion. I still have all the versions since .027 with the expception of 1 or 2 I think. It has been a blast! I can only imagine how much more will be available to us all a year from now.

"Has anyone got a site up with 'historical' AH screenshots?" Just look at HTC front page under screen shots and they go back to the beginning! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
As for HaHa's question? All I can say is HTC already has a running start and it doesn't appear that they intend to coast or easing off the pressure any time soon (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
