wow is right, more impressive then the change is the incremental always sustained manner that they have used to implement it.

Really? Define most.

was thinking same thing, my system is far from great, and I have every setting maxed out have the shadows set to the 4,000 range and I get a solid 59 FPS.

there is no cost just wait for the time to run out then you can download it.

I had forgotten what the pilot looked like, such as this one in a Spit-9.

Unfortunately, those maps aren't included. NDIslies has the beer/pizza/UFOs (in the crater to the northwest; it was removed in the AHII version) and AKDesert (aka the Old Pizza) has Squiddy in the middle.

There were two less-famous maps that had Squiddy in some obscure location and more UFOs out on a plain in the countryside, but I don't remember which ones those were.

That was the other Squiddy map? Well,heck, that one's included in the download, but I don't remember for the life of me where he's at.
