I always thought that the higher you fly the clearer is becomes and all.

I will take AH2 any day.
The flight model alone is well worth it.
And Let It be said for the 1.000.000 time It Is still BETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

I don't like the lack of vis either, BUT if the haze on the ground keeps the fights lower it will be well worth it.

If those guys at 22k don't see the enema on the deck, then none of us will have to climb 20k each flight.

Thought you were a pilot, Cit?

In the SE USA I have seen VFR conditions that presented a 'murk' which made it impossible to make out any kind of landmark from only 8,000 feet. Probably, humidity helped to create a blanket of pollen and dust that obscured the view, but conditions can get so bad that even the horizon is obscured. That's today. In 1941-1945 pollution was much worse.

Default settings are very low quality, and you can increse vis range if you don't want fog.

Isnt Ah2 still in Beta?
I'll reserve judgement till final product, right now I'd prefer Ah1 graphics tho

the guy that pulls the 4g flat turn on the merge
and is able to catch me goin up in a E managed zoom climb wont be so sucessfull... I hope

Your 3 miles up..

At 3 miles it works and it's still only beta.

Beta rocks. Final product I have no doubt will rock.

It's a very comfortable feeling.

u talking about sky (fog) color or terrain?

I don't like default AH2 sky (I know it can change by arena settings), but terrain at 16k is better.

I vote for better looking skies and visibility. Not interested in prowling around in murk.

If marginal weather and views are occasionally necessary, keep them that way -- marginal and occasional, but not the main show.

Sure it's Beta. But if there are features not liked, speak now or forever hold your peace. Better to comment now than after the final version emerges.

lmao Fest, I agree, AH1 looks much more "define" and clear, is that the final look of AH though?
