In all seriousness though, AHII holds the high ground in games of the niche. This is obviously a passion for Dale and crew, not something motivated by looking at profit reports, and they currently control their own destinies instead of being at the whim of some corporation like alot of game developers. I see no reason why Aces High cannot be the dominant multi-player flight sim in a decade.
As for "eye-candy"-Sorry guys, Il2 and the like is just not to my yet vastly superior, if any superior, to AHII in that regard.
