OK, time to separate the wheat from the chaff

                   Next week, we will be ending the free beta period of Aces High with the release of
                    version 1.0. You can continue to play for free for two weeks from the time you first log in
                    post-beta. At the end of the free two week trial period, you will have to register a credit
                    card number with us or have sent a check to us to continue to play. After the end of
                    beta, you will still be able to use your existing beta account, you do not need to create
                    a new account. All unused beta accounts will be deleted 30 days from the end of the
                    beta.

                    The end of the beta does not signify a change in our development. Aces High will never
                    be "done", there will always be new features to add and new technologies to take
                    advantage of. Aces High is the sole project of HiTech Creations, so our attention will
                    stay focused on it and development will continue at a brisk pace.

                    We wish to thank everyone for making this beta period a success. It has been a lot of
                    fun and very memorable. We hope to continue to receive your support to make Aces High
                    the best game that we can.

... new technologies to take advantage of.

This caught my eye.  Two new technologies I would like to see taken advantage of:

- Multiple USB controllers.  Looks to be the way things are heading, folks are already posting on the hardware board about this.

- Hardware acceleration for transformation and lighting calculations on the 3D card.

These two technologies are already here, do we have a plan or schedule to incorporate them?  This is meant not as a criticism, but as a query & recommendation.      I think the crew here is doing a great job!

I have only flown for 3 nights now, but I am hooked.  After 5 years of Air Warrior, this sim is like a breath of fresh air.  Congrats on an outstanding and "FUN" Air sim HT.  Needless to say I am in for the long haul  

btw, do I get a discount because I live in TX (Houston)?  hehe

Just say when and where HT.

by the way can I change my on line ID. Would like to be the same as I use on the bbs or I can change the one on the bbs. Don't matter to me which.

Thanks for the free fun and I'm looking forward to more. Even willing to help out with your beer and pizza.

See ya on line
