One thing I can say: It's better for us. Were going to have either more competition, or more costumers, or maybe even a bit of both.

As long as they don't say on the old game forums that we all suck, the FM is horrid and continuously push for a change in the game on our forums.

Well I can't judge what people are going to say lol all I know is (and it doesn't take much to figure this out) that there will be people coming from FA, weather or not they're good or not we'll have to see. :P

and better for us probably better for HTC. More money for them lol

my source is extremely reliable.

they had a good innings and lasted a whole 5 years more than I anticipated.  Plenty of decent folk will become AH subscribers because of this and we can all help these old timers learn new tricks.

There is an offical post on the fighter ace forums.

For many of you, Fighter Ace has been a 13-year journey of friendship and learning. For me, Fighter Ace has been a 20-year saga of hard work, fascinating friendships, world travel and an unmatched education in things both technical and philosophical. Like all good things, though, Fighter Ace must come to a close.

I have turned to my long-time friend, “Wild” Bill Stealey, the CEO IEntertainment who owns and operates Warbirds, who is himself a retired USAF Lt. Colonel. Bill has been a major contributor to the flight sim genre as the founder of Microprose, and I am sure many of you remember playing Microprose’s games. For me Bill’s games were an inspiration, and his example was instrumental in helping me launch my own Fighter Ace vision.

WarBirds would like to welcome any Fighter Ace players who would like to join the WarBirds online community. As his welcome to all of you, Bill is offering FA players a FREE 60 Day account to WarBirds. You can sign up for FREE at the special URL that has been set up just for FA players: http://www.totalsims.com/aviatorssignup.php. You can also email Bill at his email address with your questions: wildbill@ient.com

Well, 2 free months of that donkey will surely help them really appreciate AH when they finally wake up and try a good flight sim.
