I've been enjoying Aces High for five weeks now and I have to say you have an outstanding game here! I've played years of Fighter Ace and lots of IL-2, online and off, and a couple of things stand out about Aces High:
The hat viewing system is fantastic, it's a blast to use and tweak.
I fly a small tailwheel aircraft and the flight modeling in Aces High really 'feels' right. Things like slipping in for a landing and ground feel are great. I really like the way high speed compression works in the game too.
In short, it's been fun getting shot down by most of you, and I hope someday to return the favor!
