lol Aces High was my very first Combat Flight Sim. In December 2002, I download the game at Zdnet.com where I found the game for free and after download was finish I was happy person.  I have been playing H2H quiet for a while in Spring thru Summer until I was ready enter Main Area/Combat Theater.

exactly 2 years as of yesterday...wich means the anniversary of my first kill is in about 3 weeks (took me most of that time to learn how to keep the plane in the air...all second nature now)

before this i played ace of aces on a c64 (actually it was when i was 6...10 years ago :eek:) and have a few memories (should have more but i have a terrible memory) of playing it with my dad (as i remember he mostly  navigated us to the v1s and enemy planes...i just pointed the crosshairs and shot)

you can check in your account information wich you access from htc home page

I started with version 1.05.

 After a few months, the Fw190D-9 and the La-7 was first introduced into the game.

 ..

 How long was that?? I have no idea.. !

What ? Just newbies in here ;)

I Downloaded AH the first day in open beta, and been flying since.
Never closed account either :D
I dont know how long that is, 5 1/2 year or so ?

Before that I flew Warbirds in 3+ years.

Biggest let down in this period was when Hitech and Pyro left WB, biggest pleasure was when they announced that they where gonna create AH.

Yes I admit it, I am the biggest Hitech cheerleader there is ;)

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

First tried AH in October 2000 but at the time my main game was Air Warrior, which I had played since July 1998.  My squad moved here in April 2001 at the 'beginning of the end' for AW, and I played both until the plug was pulled.  Been here ever since.  :D

1.05 was early 2001 I'm guessing. I started playing 1.02 I think, in July 2000, just before the FM change. AH being my first big online game, it was an amazing experience.
