As one of the original members of VMF 323, and Aces High, I have finally decided to sign off and leave Aces High.
Although I was quite active for quite a long time, I haven't been on much at all during the last part of this year. I frankly remained a subscriber waiting for the release of Aces High II, and the fact that when it was released I was still a member of the famed VMF 323. Unfortunately, I have become bored with the Aces High that I once loved so much. As Hitech has said it appears that Aces High II will essentially have the same basic game modelling system, and so I have decided not to hang on any more.
I've been inactive for so many months that most of you have probably never heard of me, but as one of the original members from day one, of both Aces High and VMF 323, I can say that I am quite proud of how Aces High has developed. I remember when the P51 and the Spitfire were just about the only planes, and I've watched the game develop month by month into the excellent flight sim game that it is.
Unfortunately it has become boring for me with no real ground war, and no real historically oriented purpose for an air force. I loved this game so much that listing what I don't like at this point would not be productive.
I learned more about online fliying from Ripsnort and VMF 323 than in any other on or offline game anywhere. I will always be proud to have been a member of such a fine squad.
I wish all of you the very best, and I hope Aces High II exceeds your expectations.
