Exciting!!!
« on: January 08, 2016, 05:40:13 PM »
We Are very close to going to an open beta.
We have a few sound things to complete and then if things are stable, we will move on to open beta.

Will the open BETA be open to active accounts or everyone?

I ask because I think it would be awesome to boost the player base if the BETA was open "free to play"....think it would be up long enough that those new players would get passed the learning curve and the old players who left will be more inclined to try AH out again and possibly get the bug going again.

I quoted FTP because maybe only give those players a handful of rides (P51B, Spit9, 109G2, B26, Panzer, FW190A5, Ostwing, M3, C47)

Anyone can play the alpha right now, As long as they are a paid subscriber and have a forum account.

No! As a long paying customer I think that if someone does not want to try the two free weeks then they are not looking for this type of game. This game would be worse off with Xbox/ps2 types. You don't want those looking for instant gratification. They will be the ones looking for a code or hack to look good instead of playing and learning.

The target group should be the folks who like the history of the time frame. WWII aircraft buffs.

You can download and try out patch91 now. It is the best patch so far with incredible ambient sounds the game has never had before. Check out the new battle ship. Just post back any problems you run into in the open alpha forum to help Hitech.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

That's OK, they can get their hands on it sooner than later while helping get to the beta. 18 months later I'm praying for the beta as probably are those still here from back then when the first test terrain had mostly 1000ft tall beer bottles all over it.

See I disagree, I don't think making the BETA open to all free to play would attract the Xbox kinds passed the free to play portion...they may try but maybe we do find a few who like this type of game. Some of the best sticks in this game right now could be classified as "xbox/ps2 types"
