Are you just whining or do you really want some help? I am no technical guru by any means and probably can't offer much help with individuals problems. However, for those that really want some serious help with their computer issues, quit whining on the boards (you will probably get slammed by the majority of the community). There is a true place to send a valid, well thought out issue to try and have your technical problems resolved (Support Email: support@hitechcreations.com). When I started playing this game some 3+ years ago and had issues, I contacted the team at HTC in this manner and received great support from Skuzzy. I have had other various issues along the way and similarly used the same method to resolve the issue. It does take a while at times but the response is ALWAYS given it's best efforts by the team. Some things to consider before you just whine, go to the homepages and do a little reading and you will find things like,Welcome to Aces High II Help--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:
1) Depending on the configuration of the Vista operating system it could be desirable to have a minimum of 1GB of RAM, and a recommended of 2GB of RAM in your computer.
2) Generally speaking, many onboard video chips may not meet the hardware standards to operate the game. It is normally better to go with an AGP/PCI-E based video card as opposed to a built-in video chip.
3) The game is generally easier and more fun to play when a joystick is available.
4) Satellite connections to the game have latencies which make it difficult to do anything real time.

And something likeWelcome to the Aces High Training Corps website - home of the official Aces High Trainers.The ACES HIGH Training Corps is composed of volunteers who donate their time and efforts to helping players learn and improve their skills. We do this by answering questions in the Training Arena, providing one-on-one training to those who request it, writing articles on the various aspects of the game, and by conducting the Aces High II Flight Training Academy (coming soon).
On this site you will find lots of information to help you improve your game. Some of this information is directly from the AH Help Pages but most goes more in-depth with hints and tips from the trainers and other players.
We hope this website becomes your one-stop reference for information on Aces High. If there is anything that can make it more useful to you, don’t hesitate to let us know by emailing trainers @ hitechcreations.com (spaces inserted to reduce spam).
Good Luck and C’ya Up!
The Aces High Trainers
Yes, the team at Aces High are no Einstein's but, they sure were intelligent enough to create this game for all of us to enjoy at a very reasonable price, keep updates coming, listen & address valid concerns and are probably more financially sound than any one of us. So thinking that they are stupid, think again. So, I'd like to salute and say thanks to these PEOPLE for giving us what they have and suggest more do the same instead of trying to vilify them unjustly on these boards.Thanks to: HiTech, Pyro, Superfly, Waffle, Sudz, Rosie, Skuzzy, Ronni, Yankee, NateDog & other unsung hero's of the volunteer support staff.
