I've always been interestedin in war history and war games. The flight sims just kind of happened to gain ground through some early offline games like Amiga's F-18 Interceptor, PC RedBaron and Chuck Yeager..something. I also loved reading small was comick books, and usually liked mostly teh air war dedicated ones.

Then when RedBaron2 came out I got sucked into online flying. EAW followed and lead to WW2 environment. That was the time to found a squadron (8 years ago), which then lead into WW2 aviation history and research and collecting lots of books. After a while AH replaced EAW for me... and I am still here

So... games and war... flight sims in general... WW2 flight sims and WW2 aviation history. It happened in that order for me.

thanks all.

so could we propose that anyone who does come across aceshigh as a pure games lover rather than a flight sim lover, will often be hooked into the history and genre if the game and community is good enough.

so not only does AH cater for the avid lovers of this genre, but caters for, and even converts other game lovers into this genre.

thats quite a game and community we have here.

It is really a different community (AH). I got drawn to it during a internet search and I have not looked back. I still have many flight sims & other WWII games but they just gather dust on the shelf. I grew up in the WWII area and still remember black outs, raton books here in the US. I grew to love the WWII era, because of a school teacher I had (Airborne drop over Normandy). I only get online on the weekends & I am still dying & crashing and returning trying not to repeat my last mistake.

You too? I got in trouble in the 6th grade, we were supposed to make mosiacs like the romans, and everyone made crappy flowers and patterns and stuff. I made a p-40 with shark mouth naturally, the teacher scolded me for making a "rhino plane". Silly woman, spinning props dont transfer well into the mosiac genre. She then confiscated my time life book of airplanes I had. I promptly took it back after class because stealing isnt right.
