FlaydONE (my brother at the other end of the pasture), introduced me to AH, and I burned up his perks on Tempests before I figured out what the heck I was doing.   Duh......!:rolleyes: :huh

I ran across a "SIMCADE" in a mall one day. It was a bunch of hydraulic powered cockpits with a stick, throttle, and pedals and a monitor. They used Aces High and it cost about $45 for 20-30 minutes. I was pretty stoked when they told me I could play online for $30 a month.

I played Red Baron 3D as well S! Still have it.  Was hoping to find a WW1 Sim but the only thing i came across was Aces High and il2 and at that time i couldn’t play il2 on my old Computer, been addicted ever since.

Still miss the old Red Baron days where you would tear you wings of just by diving and jump out without a parachute.

as long as the MP or moderators didn't "lock" it.


kind of like the old picture thread, or any old 'meaningful" thread may be.....

Greetings,

  1994ish, was playing Aces over Europe with a friend's computer in Camp Doha.  Read PC magazine about online multiplayer recrations of historical engagements.  He had full TM set up and I was hooked.

  When I got back to states did search, found Air Warrior Beta.  Really appreciated flying for free!  Then went to Gamestorm, then it died.

  Found this place couple of years later with a random Google search.  I ain't leaving again!

Regards,

In '96 I was reading a PC magazine after getting my first PC.  They were talking about AW, which was on AOL and Compuserve at the time.  The article said something about reading the text channel and low bogies and then the writer got bounced, realizing too late he was the subject of the text discussion.  Now that sounded cool to me and since  I had subscriptions to both AOL and Compuserve I logged on through AOL.  I was hooked.

I went from AWI on AOL to AWII on Gamestorm to AWIII until the updates quit coming and the rumour was it would close the next month.  Then everyone started bailing for this new game, Aces High.  I bailed 1 month before EA shut down AWIII ('01) and have been here ever since.
