there used to be the simcade arcade  that had accounts setup for playing h2h .
they had similator style cockpits and hosted a h2h room during bizness hours .

the players would just show up as a TG1 TG2 TG3 ect type name and everyone knew they were noobs so we took it easy on them and help teach them to play .

I suggest you call or email HTC and ask them . I'm shure they'ed be willing to work with you .   :aok

Other than that, AH is a long-session-game, meaning you can fly 40-60 minutes for 1 sortie.


LMAO

:rofl

Krusty has yet to do a sortie longer than 10 minutes... and that was in a jeep hiding in trees. Not flying.

PWN'D

:D

cool all good to hear.   I will be checking up on the 4th's website. This is all still in the air, need to build an new box and get the wire run and such... and with hockey playoffs and basketball playoffs, we are busy with all that... and hope to be busy into June.

I am flying offline right now to try and get my skillz back :}  I hope to get this all going soon enough though...

thanks for the positive feedback.

If HTC balked at the idea I'd be surprised...

Besides, if you follow the rules everyone else has to, then why SHOULD they mind?

From a MARKETING aspect, you would be provideing HOURS of free advertizing for them in a place where it's DEFINITELY going to generate public interest in the game.  More interest = More Players = More $$$ for HTC...

They pay for all those cable channel ads, right?

People play pool, darts, cards....why not Aces High?

If it's a go, I bet you start a trend that has other bar owners wondering why your parking lot is full.

As a casino marketing director, the most fun part of my job was planning and executing multiple promotions.  BUILD CUSTOMER LOYALTY!  Get them in the door more often, and then get them to stay with entertainment and promotions they do not get elsewhere.  Have a different reason to come in every single day the doors are open = SUCCESS.

AH geeks tend to get in fewer bar fights than bikers and college kids.

Good luck!

OK with all that said... I do know that at one time there was a Game Room that ran 2 H2H rooms... some of their customers flew in those rooms and outsiders were welcome. I remember them being great fun too. They also had some setups with cockpits to get more into the game. That was a long time back but I would think that in a free room it would be fine... possibly bringing in new blood to Ah too.

It is important to check with HT for any possible problems. The Game belongs to Hitech and you would not want to step on any toes.

Good Luck with your endeavor!

This is a very cool idea.  If your bar were near me, I'd come in for that!

I live in Washington now but grew up in Michigan (Troy, a suburb of Detroit).  Where in Michigan is your bar?

It is in Flint Michigan.  It is a little place that is about 100 years old, m,ostly all regulars and old timers.  It seats 48 people, and that might be an exageration... It is called the Red Ribbon. We show up on Yahoo.

Well, this is coming closer to a reality. I emailed HC, hope to get an offical response soon.

We are thinking of the following promotion: Shoot me down for a beer.  We will have a little H2H arena where, if i am available (and we would set up hours for this... gotta love the idea of "Honey, sorry, i have to fly for work now") they can try to shoot me down for a free beer :}

Here's what I would do... build a couple "H2H" systems in your bar and use it for local competitions.  You could have, for example, tuesday night AH tournaments, where the winner might win a pitcher of beer.. or a gift certificate.. or a T-shirt.. or something.

Then you can recruit other bars to do the same... then the winner of your bar can play the winner of other bars for even bigger prizes...

Of course, it would all have to be for charitable or promotional purposes.. I don't think HiTech would think too highly of you using their software to make money.. unless of course they got a share of it (I know I'd want a piece of that after all the hard work of assembling the software), but that's something you'd have to talk with them about.

Also you'll have to put a lot of thought and effort on how to limit play.. keep it simple.. like a "two out of three" dogfight tournament for each set of players... something that would only last 15-20 minutes at a time.. otherwise you'll have patrons using the system for hours on end!

Another idea... Aces High Kiosks?  Mini-cockpits set up through the internet for online play.. hrmm... Hitech need someone to help you market it? hehe
