i went to my landlords appt. he was hunched over a computer screen with a stick in hand.
   flying this this crazy prettythang two engine plane, called a p38
i watched him shoot down a couple a "red guys" was like "WOW" this rocks. so when he went off to work i would sneak in (well not quit) but i would play off line, he wouldnt let me go online something about messin up his score, but after awhile he let me fly online, and my first flight online i got a kill, (they where AFK) but man did it feel good .  hehe

well its been over four years i dropped $1,600 on a gaming computer (gotta hate the credit card)and dont see an end in sight.
  at least not untill  GOD comes back.

I was online one day in April 2004,looking for information about the Bf 109,when I came across a site ran by someone called Tom Philo.

  The site had the required info on the 109,but it also had a link to Aces High,I downloaded the Game and have never looked back.

  Tom Philo used to fly Aces High under the handle JG26 as a Rook I think,is he still here?I would like to thank him for introducing me to the online Flight sim world.

     Anyway thanks Tom.:aok :aok

                 So now I'm hooked as well. And you know I have it bad cause I just spent my two days off playing the thing.

Who was the fella you were talking about, I mean his ingame name?

I learned of ACES HIGH while in my ‘early’ WARBIRD career [when HiTECH and company left WB].  Over the past 10 years and after several computer system upgrades, I began ACES HIGH, when my Virtual Squadron [475th FG] changed over to ACES HIGH in Dec. 2006.

Prior to Internet set up 1998, I began my World War II gaming with several boxed and Board games including:
COMMADOR 64/128: USAAF (Text game).

WINDOWS 95:
SIERA Series (AOE, AOTP, RED BARON)
SILENT SERVICE
DESTROYER etc.

WINDOWS 95 (1st Internet set up), 98, & XP:
WARBIRDS II 2.0 & III {Mar. 1998 until Nov. 2006}
Dabbling briefly with ACES HIGH, AIR WARRIORS, WWIIOnLine, & etc.
ACES HIGH {since Dec. 2006}

I read about it on an Italian videogame magazine. There was an article about online flight sims, Aces High was the one that impressed me more. So, being a big aviation fanatic and being eager to finally fight some real opponent, I finally downloaded it. I spent about three years playing in H2H, on and off, finally, in December 2005, I subscribed. I'm hooked for life. :)

Saw an article in a British magazine back in July 2000. Downloaded it and was interested enough to shell out the $30 subscription fee - it was an amazing experience given that I'd never seen an online flight sim before.
