I'm anxious to figure out how to set up these offline settings for a bit more arcade-like fun for both me and my son... I'll be online eventually though. Just have to get used to analog gauges and a pipper instead of digital readouts and radar/EMCON
How old is your son? Mine is 10 and does pretty well in Aces High.  We really enjoy flying together. Then again he was late with a book report last month so he is off the computer for a week. :D That is one good thing about getting you son hooked on Aces High, you have some thing to pull when he slacks off.

LMAO

He's 6..  err...  just turned 7.... I pull his Playstation priveledges now :lol  

He's a great kid though... doesn't put up too much of a fight when it's time to clean the room or if I think he's been on a game too long. And since he's doing really well in school, I don't hassle him too much.

He started flying my old ADF22 sim when he had just turned 4. He actually learned really fast and could keep it in the air and manuver really well, although that game is really easy to fly anyway... but still... he was 4 so I was proud of him.

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

There was a glitch in the posting a few minutes ago.  I ended up with a double post on another thread.  Maybe that's what happened to Kid Viper.

And Calan, one hint on gunnery.....


Get up close and personal. Anything further out then 400 yards (see icon) is luck. Optimal shooting range is 150-250. (Depending on convergence).


If you need any more help, ASK :).

Also, you have a 2-week free trial. If you want to you can log into the training arena (kind of "relaxed realism" since damage is off) where youll find members of the TRainer Corps as well as helpful longtime players that can get you familiar with the game and its interface. Or just play "target drone" ;).



Welcome to Aces High Calan.
