Favorite Features of Aces High
« on: December 07, 2003, 07:37:36 PM »
What are your favorite features of Aces High?

In the season of winter solstice it's natural to reflect about things we like best, including Aces High.  What would you add to the following?

1.  The incredible custom view system from inside the cockpit and vehicles.

2.  The educational and entertaining choices of aircraft and vehicles, especially those not often modelled such as the Yaks and La's, the George, the 202 and 205, the Panzer, ship guns, and the PT boat.

3.  The highly effective and integrating voice system.

4.  This comprehensive community site and bulletin board -- usually can find answers to anything you need from somebody here.  

5.  The affordable monthly price.  

6.  The excellent mix of arenas.    

7.  The genius and pragmatism of the Aces High staff in making all this from x's and o's and a huge dose of human understanding.  

8.  The generous spirit of participants who realize Aces High needs considerate candor as well as reasonable conformance to majority druthers.

This is true.  I never thought voice could be so effective in an online flight sim.  The vox system has been very well designed, both from a usability and bandwidth point of view.

Setup gui includeing Joystick, stickmapping & keyboard routines.

Slickest setup I've ever seen in a flight sim.

Clipboard map, has TONS of features some of which are not in the AH2 beta.
I sure hope they all make the transition.

Chan 1 = cheap entertainment for 15$ a month. A bargain at double the price.

Last but not least AH voice.

Awesome piece of programing no matter how you look at it. And as a trainer one of my biggest headache solvers.

Keep up the good work HTC

Customer Service - HTC is willing to answer the phones.
Credit Cards - I trust HTC with my CC info. They stop billing when you close an account.
