Considering all the other online flights sims I've played had modeled flap damage from overspeeding, I think I can live with it.


ack-ack

Been there, done that.. nearly ripped the flaps off, forgot to raise flaps at take-off because my base was being strafed by a bunch of P-47s, about 2 minute into the flight, I heard creaking and groaning, looked at my wings, and couldn't even raise the flaps, it was jammed there.. had to land, then re-up... Can't wait to say what would happen in AH...

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Yep, have had the same thing happen to me in another game from a bygone era.  Honestly, in the years I played that other game I only seem to recall only a handful of times damaging my flaps from overspeeding because I forgot to raise them.  I remember one particular time I forgot to raise my Fowler flap and hit around 275mph IAS then saw a flap jammed message.  It sucked but lesson learned.  Even in this game, I do not let the auto-flaps do the retracting for me because I don't want to risk entering into an unrecoverable spin.  I just want to be able to have full control of my flaps, even if it means running the risk of damage to them.  But this has been hashed out many times and HiTech refuses to remove this hand holding feature, so I guess it's a moot point.

 Hm.. what game were you playing? I was playing Jane's Combat Simulations: WWII Fighters. One of the greatest game I've played, if it wasn't for it's lack of 2 dozen aircraft, i say it was better than AH.

nah i have to agree with him, while limited and graphics not upto par with 08' game and such

Janes wwII fighters had it all, only game where you could scrape the ground and wishbone your plane, prop strike or not.
Engines rattle and vibrate when damaged, or completely shake them selfs off the airframe, as the ac itself falls limply to the ground.

Actual bail animations whenever someone/thing ejects from a plane.

Troop formations runing on the ground from tanks, to be straffed for fun.Deer's runin' in forests and landscape to be strafed aswell.


ground hit effect's second to none and the same with the sounds.

Still no game made yet that gave you the satisfaction of HEARING your enemy Ac and friendly's slam into the ground at mind blowing speed, the huge shockwave and fireball, and the aircraft's body sliding across the landscape on fire till it stops.
The blood that would splatter when your pilot got hit, the agonizing screams till (what a concept) you die from loss of blood and slam into the ground.

Thank you, aces high falls very very very short still when it comes to bringing the nitty gritty eye candy of war.




HTC would do well do buy WWII fighter, just to see how the visuals could be done, better*.

o who cares, its a dweeb plane

-BigBOBCH
A lot of people care.  It is the 4th most used aircraft in AH and the version we currently have is just high rez textures on the original polygons for it released in AH v1.00.

Yes that's all we need.. make the dweebest plane in the game even easier to fly.

As for the pictures.. it looks nice and I hope they make some really pretty flames to match it.  :lol

Crockett, you seem to think every other plane that you don't fly are dweeby.
I'm yet to see you fly a whole tour in a Hurri 1.

What I'd love to see is to have HTC update the game engine to support  bump mapping.

And you know for a fact that HT's engine does not support bump mapping ?

About 5 years ago you would see lot's of niki's.  Lately I dont see them very much, so I'm not sure just how "dweeby" they really are.  I think that concept is currently out of date.  Every mission I fly I run into spits ...every mission! ...now thats 'dweeby".

I actually think the F6F is just as good as the N1K, i find that they fly rather similarly, and what you lose in snapshot you gain in reach.

You make a big deal about the guns on the N1K, but the ballistics are so bad that not many people bother with it.

Then you haven't looked back very far because I did that like 8 or 9 months ago..  :rolleyes:  I actually ended up switching to the Spit 1 because I thought the Huri 1 was far to uber..  :D
