You played it 17 years ago...... but 5 months ago was released aces high 3, which is different under the hood.

It kind of is, it is the same game with the same idea behind it made by Hitech. I know at least two guys who offered their services to Hitech in improving this or that in game, primarily the flight models, and they were refused because guy is simply stubborn as hell.

 

For one thing, Aces High does not change at its core just as its creator doesnt change.

 

 

 

Aces high has a chance yet to be a new king,  gameplay is there, graphics are being upgraded.   Graphics are not everything that make a game.

Aces High is in the same terminal state since a couple of years. Bunch of people fly it but its going nowhere, upgrades here, added aircraft there but all in all I cant spot a clear vision what they wish to  achieve.

And graphics is hell of an important aspect in games, since it represents the visual experience of every player. It is extremely important in flight sims.

Maybe you should do the same

 

Not necessary after watching that ridiculous Spitfire video. 

 

I have no interest in this discussion, I just point out your attitude , witch I highly doubt you are capable to sustain man to man. It is possible to ignore a post if the topic is of no interest, but you keep acting like a troll.

 

@ Bugfix

I have no problem seeing AH as a very entertaining game, neither that it in some ways and some planes have a better simulation of flight. I hope AH get the attention needed to prosper in Steam. But you ain´t winning a FM battle in this forum. You have given AH attention in here, your job is well done.

There are few things more pathetic than people who use the internet as a means to assert their 'manhood'. Welcome to my ignore list.

I don't think this offers anything that will drag people away from IL*2, CloD, DCS or RoF. Actually even if I were willing to sacrifice modern fidelity in FM and graphics for the sake of more content I would go back to 1946. You can make all the claims about AH being so much better as you want. All anyone has to do is watch a few videos to see it's bs.

 

I'm not sure if this guy is genuinely trying to sell people on this ancient game or if he is just trolling trying to get reactions out of people.

My guess goes for the latter. He clearly has not the slightest chance to convince anyone to this crappy flight game. So he is obviously trolling.

This is like saying you can say how the car handles by watching it and not driving it.

 

 

It's sad to see there is so little logic.

Does every other thread in this forum about other games want to sell people about the game? Ever heard of discussion,  tin foil hat territory much?

If you don't want people to base their assessments of Aces High flight modelling on videos, I suggest you stop posting them.

I get the fact that the OP loves the game... that is great.

But continually trying to force others to like it, invest in it, has become so counter productive that he is now driving people away.

 

bugsix, enjoy the game. I'm glad you like it. But you are flogging the proverbial dead horse now.

Maybe he got paid top shill that game. It isn't the first time this happens in flight sims.

 

There's no other logical explanation to this thread.

I have a copy of AH3 on my computer. Tried it like ten minutes, noticed nothing worth my time in there and that was it.

The new graphics do not look crap, check this trailer.

 

That has to be the the most godawful "trailer" I've ever seen for a video game.

It is fan made

 

 So is this one.

 

 

And this

Tin foil hat are useless against necromancy AFAIK. Maybe smtg like garlic and crucifix would be better choice  :)

Well there is no doubt CFS is developed since AH came, comparing those two is not fair at all. There is a lot of things I like better in BOS compared to COD and DCS still I fly BOS less. 

AH got for sure good things, still no matter how hard I look I see only fighters fighting each other , and I see nothing that BOS does not have , and what is more BOS has it better

Aces High flight model creates torque maneuvers, something which you can't do in other flight sims.Other sims just simulate controlled flying. Aces High creates flight with simulated aircraft in a simulated environment.  That's why the post stall gyrations in Aces High match what you see with real aircraft in airshows, although with obvious differences from the different power/weight.

 

here is an example:

You really haven't tried BoS, have you?
