Thinking about joining the ranks of saying GOOD BYE to AH myself. I dont think HT will ever work out the bugs in the MA cuz he is working on AH2 to much. Paying money for something that is not working is not my way of having fun, to many bugs, to much lag...etc etc. If anyone does find a diff sim PLEASE post.

HTC is making a mistake by not plugging in at least a few new toys into AH1.

Why not give us a new plane or a tank or two during the 6-9 months AH1 is down while AH2 is being written?

Its a mistake.

Yeager,

I understand your frustration, but keep this in mind:  There are finite resources at HTC.  

I work for a software company, and we're in a constant struggle between spending time on our older products and the next version that's coming out.  The graphics in the current engine are showing their age, and Hitech probably figures that the new game and engine is the key to maintaining healthy growth and staying relevant.

Every man-week that he spends on the old Aces High is at least another week that the new system will be delayed.  If the momentum for this game falters before the new stuff is up, the same thing will happen here that happened to Warbirds.  WBIII took too long to release because so much time was spent supporting 2.7x releases.

To me, the gameplay in AH is good.  If Hitech hadn't announced that he was working on AH2, I imagine there would be less discontent here, but then people would wonder if they had been abandoned.

Let 'em do AH2, and have some patience.  This team has already been more active then any other game development company I've ever seen in implementing user suggestions and adding vehicles/planes that were requested.

a new "toy" wont bring excitement back to ah. Its the gameplay that has stagnated. This is amplified on the large maps. The land grab aspect has always been a half assed attempt to simulate a war. It fails to do any simulating and brings out the worse tendencies in the community. Nothing is to dweeby or to gamey as long as "we get that field".

Its the new arena that is of interest to me. I could careless about the eye candy.

I haven't played in a couple of months, been playing GPL and Diablo 2, I will get the itch back for a few months then loose it again. I just take breaks works for me.

Diablo 2, eh?  Me and a couple of co-workers have been playing that a lot lately.  You playing the expansion pack also or just the regular one?  You doing PvP or just the online or offline quests?

Sad to see you leaving Apar. I understand your frustration, but in the very near future, AH2 and others will, probably, take you back to the WW2 online sims.

Sorry Furball and Greebo, I went too far lately.

Time to recognize this and go on with more important things in life.

Np apar, i know this game can get frustrating.  I didnt think any less of you by what happened today.

I hope you have a change of heart soon! !

Apar

I hope you think about this.  We all have bad days.  Other daily occurances in our life effect how we feel, and what we say.  We've all been guilty about getting to worked up about this game. Why?  Because we like it so much.

So please reconsider....take a little time off and come back with a fresh outlook.

You're a class act.....always have been, and a good virtual pilot.  I myself and the vets of the Flying Circus will be sorry to see such a competitor leave.  I for one will miss our Apaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr and Hajoooooooooo greetings.  Feels like I've lost a friend here.

Again....take some time off.......chill out as they say, and climb back into that 109.  And besides, we've not yet had the opportunity to wing!
