Title: We waited months for THIS?!?
Post by: SOB on October 15, 2003, 02:53:22 PM: I can't believe it, it's like we've been cheated. We've been giving our hard earned money for nothing new and we finally get something and it's horrible and buggy and they didn't fix the climb rate on the Ostwind, not to mention the fact that the new P51H does not show the correct color on the fuel gauge. Chuck Yeager's Air Combat looked better than this and that was 10 FRIGGING YEARS AGO!!! I QUIT AND AM GOING TO GO PLAY RIVER RAID FOR SOME REAL FLIGHT SIM ACTION!!!!!

Just priming the pump a little...it can't really be released if there ain't a good whine! :D

Shut up you lamer whiner. They worked hard on this. Natedog and Superfly now have carpal tunnel syndrome (not from using the mouse in Photoshop, but because they were working so long and hard that their personal lives can be summed up in the palm of their hand).

Pyro was seen to actually smile once this was done. Now he won't anymore. All because of your lamer whiner attitude. If you don't like this, and it is obvious you don't, I, for one, am glad you are going to go play river raid. Then the rest of us might actually be able to read the squad forum without fear.

Be gone, SOB, and I hope you are forced to move into a dry county that doesn't serve alcohol or wings! I hope you get a tapeworm too!

Considering the small staff you have to work with and the small amount of time I am just glad to see the Beta out this soon.
Cheers.

Title: We waited months for THIS?!?
Post by: acepilot2 on October 15, 2003, 08:28:00 PM: umm 21 fps aint that bad...20-30 is about average.

Actually, I would think that gave away the whole point to his post.

Post by: Mini D on October 16, 2003, 06:10:29 AM: You guys tease SOB... but he's 100% right. I spent quite a bit of time running around the field because I couldn't figure out how to take off. When I strolled into the fighter hangars I found big green paint patches all over the floor. And then... the biggest travesty of all... A toolbox sitting on the bench next to a .50 calliber machine gun had craftsmen tools in it. I'm a firm lover of Craftsman tools and couldn't help but notice that HTC had modeled the blue and red on clear plastic Craftsman screw drivers. Blue and red on clear plastic... in WW2. Yeah... right.

Post by: Ghosth on October 16, 2003, 08:54:00 AM: HTC worked for a YEAR before releaseing the first beta. Took them a LONG time to get that stable, up & running smooth.

Then they have consistantly been working steady adding key features to slowly build AH to where they want it to go.

Now after some 6 or 7 months they are releaseing AH2 beta, new graphics engine, tons of new features, new modeling, etc.

I'm willing to bet that in another 6 months we'll be in AH2 where we are now in AH.

My point, the process takes time gentlemen.

But HTC is getting faster, better, every thing builds on what has gone before.

Partly its a matter of trial & error, finding out what works & what doesn't.

MEANTIME we still have AH to fly do we not?

WTF are you *****ing about?

Post by: 1K0N on October 16, 2003, 11:35:06 AM: The fisherman on the Dock at the port is way overmodeled...
His Zebco reel clearly wasn't released until 1986ish..
But the stringer of red snapper is spot on....Thumbs up!!!

A2FS1 is still the standard by which all flight simulators should be judged.
