I honestly dont remember how I heard about AH. I do remember getting hooked instantly. Best sim ever!

I heard about AH long before AW3 died.

I blame Westy though, he was the AH 'pusher' that got me hooked during beta3.

I was walking my kid home from school and some shadey looking guy approached me;
"What do you need buddy?"
"Sorry Dude, not into that"
"Got some AH2 - Uncut - Pure"
"AH2? Never heard of it"
"Good chit, Man! Here. Try some on me. Two week supply"
"What? Your giving it away? Can't be that good."
"You'll be back for more my man" He said "But the next dose will cost ya."

My flight instructor told me. He said if you like MS Flight Sim your like this even more. Aces High has a better flight model. He was right, I do like AH better than MS Flight Sim.

A demo disc made by my step dad's co worker, after half an hour of boredom Aces High sounded fantastic. That was in 2002.

same for me really, i found the game itself (AH1 in 2003) on a free download games site.

spent 30 mins flying offline going to enemy bases and earching for enemies.....

took me a while to figure it out (IE: online only)

I tried AH1 out for 2 weeks and didnt like it.

Spent 5 years in FA mastered it player numbers dropped over time checked out AH2 and was pleasantly surprised and I still am today Been here a year and loving it.

The community and the people that run the game are mainly good people.

Can't wait for combat tour lets hope it doesnt disappoint and we get an even bigger following......

Started AW back in 98 and when it was being killed off started to look for another game, for the first 2 years I ended up in FA but then they migrated from "the Zone" and with the system I had found it hard to get a connection so started to look around again and this time I found AH.
I had heard of it before and even tried it for awhile but at that time I was heavily into FA so decided to stay with that, when I eventually did come to AH I found a lot of guys I had known in AW already here and they were kicking my butt on a regular basis and they still are !!

Well, i started off in AW-DOS in the late 80s. Then a sim came out from DOMARK called Confirmed Kill, which in turn changed to Warbirds. A small splinter group from WB started to do there own Thing called Aces High. I came to Aces High in open beta.

This is were HT came from and he has made a lot of people happy in the long run.

Ya, im an old fart:)

I started out flying warbirds II, and some guys there told me about Hitech's new company and project and i joined AH 1 as soon as it went public.

I visited a friend (dj229) and saw his big screen setup and imediately got hooked. I couldn't afford his big screen, so I bought a projector which works great, but I still mostly play on the small screen.
