Folks, there is an entire world out there beyond the cyber heroism and toking of hippie lettuce while flying.

There is a world wide recession.  People tend to cut out anything in the budget that they can't quantify or see as a necessity in a recession.  Millions are unemployed.

When the recession ends, people will have more cash for leisure things than they do when in complete penny pinching mode.

IT'S THE ECONOMY.

The game is just fine.
this is the only reason why I don't play.. I call my squaddys on the phone and talk about how cool the sky looked on my drive home. And how fun it would be to be up there in my 109. Right now I go to work (thankfully) just to make enough to get home and back to work. When befor I could take days off just to sit around and play.

the only reason i log in at night is to see the 200 talk.  most of the time is more interesting than the fights itself.  as for the game being in decline, well i wish threads like this were in decline, but now a days there seems to be one up every day.

How did he ruin the sim yrs ago if nothing has changed?  Kind of hard to ruin something if you don't change it.  Just goes to show that you are talking out of your ass.

Isn't that the truth.  I guess we've gotten too old Fugi.   We just suffer now in Aces High....and LIKE IT! :)

Personally I fly in a heavy snowstorm, uphill both ways, in a Val.

  Id say its slowly improving. Although I dont use the "game" part much lately, its certainly not in decline. As long as there is one other pilot out there willing to fight, the game is cool with me.

   Out of all the wishlist stuff and dreams that have been posted, the one thing that I think would be great to add is a perk plane factory to attack/defend. I think it would add alot to the game.

I Remember one day Fighter ace had just introduced the jets  it was badass IMO , next thing ya know "Blip" No more Fighter ace

and I don't want to hear how different Aces High  this is than Fighter Ace  cause that's a crock.

IMO if the Veteran Pilots don't start welcoming Noobs AH will soon end up like FA , Nada zilch gone ,

Then all you poor SOB will be on WARBIRDS lmao

"All of the above of course is IMO"

With a baby sitter so I actually have enough energy to do some of my hobbies, instead of waiting until after they have gone to bed.

No No No  not me , Ive been in the Sim world for long time , i meant Noobs period ,  I wasn't referring to me in any shape or form.

Also not referring to the staff of AH you guys are more than helpful.
