How I heard of AH

[Major Biggles]

found the game randomly on gamerevolution.com on a boring afternoon a few years back. never looked back

[SAS_KID]

Back in about 6th grade I was searching around fileplanet for free games and came upon AH1 and played it Offline for about 2 days got bored and forgot about it. Then came 8th grade near the end of school and I needed a game to play. So I look at fileplanet and look at AH2. Soon there after I tryout online play with the free trial and get hooked. I put on my pug face smile to my father and he gives in and starts to pay for me. About 6 months later I finally get a joystick sent to me for Christmas. And I have been stoked ever since. Noting: I will be entering my junior year. And man am I bored to write this much.

I saw the old comercial on hisory channel and discovery wings, by old comercial I do not mean the polished up nice one they have now...no sir Im talking the one that sounded like an add for a monster truck rally "Sunday, sunday, Sunday" with the loud annoying announce. Yepper I played offline thinking oh Ill just look at it, that progressed to well maby I'll try the trial, then finally I had to subscribe cause I already had found a squad.  So yeah Im pretty much gonna stay around

I was actually looking for AIR WARRIOR to see if it was still around or if a new version cam out. I missed that game ever since gamestorm stopped running it. and after 8 years of withdraws playing first person shooters I am finally home back in the air.

To be precise I found it in yahoo searching for AIR WARRIOR, and ACES HIGH was under one of the pretexes. checked it out. flew the first day with a mouse and was a gunner for FORTRESS LOL. bought a stick next day and I dont think ive missed a day of play since. This game keeps me from going out and spending to much money, which I am known to do.

Just an evolution thing for me.

Red Baron Online

Air Warrior

Warbirds

Aces High

One day I hope to make fire.

I did a search for WW2 fighter games and came up with this.. I've only been playing for about 1 week though but i did order a stick and headphones with mic. still on my trial.. I think I do remember playing a game very similar to this a few years back and looks very simalar.. was there and older version of this game awhile ago?

if you don't mind the inquiry, as a new member how do you find the game and it's subsequent spillover onto these boards?

I really enjoy the game, used to play CFS3 on line which is nothing compared to AH.  As for the boards, I've picked up a lot of good info in the
"Help and Training" and "Hardware and Software" forums. I find the
"General Discussion" forum is fun to read and  usually pretty funny.

Glad to meet you sir.

i remember it was a cold boring day in rl, my ex and i were watchin military channel and seen it, he ran in, down loaded it and flew with a mouse for bout 10 mins and next thing i know (keep in mind it was like 12am) we were wakin up the kids and puttin them in the truck on the way to meijers for a joystick....45 mins away...come home and he play'd around for hours. he eventually made the mistake of leavin the game up on the desktop and i sat down and started messing around with it, i couldnt figure out how to take off in a plane but was able to drive a tank around but couldnt figure out how to shoot the damn thing, i shortly discovered how to take off in a plane and then i shot down my first red guy, i was hooked..not knowin how to land if i ran out of ammo i would just bail and get a new plane hehe...then i learned that i could belly land...nothin like comin it at 400 mph and skiddin across the ground on ur belly till u came to a stop and towered...then HTC changed it and forced me to learn how to drop my gear and land with it in tact and not crash while landing. took me bout a year and half before i finally learned to taxi and rearm and then reup again without driving my plane into something or tipping it side ways ripping my wings off. then i ran into kermit..well...here i am, almost 3 years later

Thats the same way I was forced to learn how to land, when HTC changed it to where if you landed with your gear up over around 160mph you died.  It was fun when you could land with your gear up over 400mph and skid from one end of the runway to the other:D .

'98 it was.  Friend showed me Air Warrior.

The rest is history.

[JB88]

it was a dark and stormy night.

I actually downloaded the demo a long lomg time ago. I played it single player and thought.. this game sucks. I mean who wants to chase a bunch of crappy looking planes around in a circle..  (was well b4 the graphics updates)

It wasn't until quite some time later like maybe a year or so that I saw the commercials on the history or military channel and decided to give the game a try. Amazed was I to find out that it was the same crappy game I had downloaded so long ago not realizing there was more too it than flying in circles.  

[Ghastly]

Word of mouth from/through Warbirds players once I started playing that online (about 7 years ago...)
