LAN play, again...

[Tempest3]

I would be willing for it to be a pay option, as in, I would pay up to $20 for a code that would unlock a LAN feature. I just think LAN would be awsome for those, (like me) who don't have the ability to pay $180 a year, but still want the chance to fly against other people (I have two AH2 capable computers in my house). Not that I don't really appreciate the ability to make and fly missions now!!!

So you're looking for something that's basically free....

I "did" say that I would pay a one-time fee, like you do when you buy most games, for the feature...

But Aces High 2 is free.  How about $180, paid annually, recurring?

wrongway, why so disrespectful?  His wish will probably never be granted, but he did ask in a coherent and polite way.

Tempest, there are other flight sims you can play on a LAN after a very small one time purchase price.  Look around.

I'd like H2H back so that I could allow my kids to compete without being exposed to adults acting younger than they do.

I have most of the other flight sims - minus Il-2, but I just REALLY like Aces High's flight models and weapons. It was just something for the "wishlist". I didn't really intend on teeing someone off by suggesting that I can't and won't pay $180 a year to fly my favorite game.

Of all the non-massively-multiplayer WW2 flight sims that you can play on a LAN, you're missing the best one.

Not if HTC would release a LAN version of Aces High 2...

There's a reason they removed it. I don't think it will come back.

[Tempest3]

My logic was as follows:

1: Aces High used to have a free 8 player online & 8 player LAN.
2: Hackers brought down the 8 player online repeatedly causing HTC to remove it for security reasons.
3: Cheapskates tried to use VPNs to replicate the 8 player online through the remaining LAN capability.
4: HTC said they had problems with hackers in the free online area because the hackers weren't having to pay anything to get there.
5: HTC takes off the 8 player LAN feature.
6: I recommend that the LAN be brought back as a "unlockable" that uses your account to tell if you've paid for the feature. This way only a "paying" member would have access to a LAN version.
7: Wow. Some people think that $20 is free! (jk)

[Tempest3]

An instance where I could use a feature like this would be so that I could play this game with my dad... and teach him how to fly and fight against someone. (Currently he gets rather torn up in the offline missions I create.)
I could also just use it to have fun with friends that think they're the greatest pilots since Manfred Von Richthofen...

[Denholm]

And there's yet another reason why we don't talk about it. It has something to do with Skuzzy's lightning rod.

You just said yourself that you don't have Il-2.  You should at least try it for your purposes before you come here.

No disrespect indended.

I think I just wanted him, and others with masked wishes, to ask for what they really want.

No monthly fee.

I just see it as another who wants something for nothing.
