anyone who would rather play AH1 must have forgotten how crappy AH1 really was compared to what we have now.


yes it was great, but going back to it now would be down right terrible visualy and physicaly.

People who can't hang in the present love the past.

I miss AH I too.  The old pizza map with NOE raids.  The Ostwinds which were the ultimate Panzer killer.  The uber Spit V.  The maps with hidden things such as giant squid and ufos with pizza and beer.  The hidden booze bottles in aircraft.  The people.  The way that the HTC guys used to come in to play.  Getting picked by that jerk HT while flying and fighting someone in a H2H arena.  Telling skuzzy that the C.202 is the most uber plane in the arena then watch him augering on takeoff.  Fun times. :)

On a tangent, CombatSim.com has a review of version 1.0 still up:
http://www.combatsim.com/memb123/htm/feb00/aces-high.htm

From early 2000. The second page has a shot of the Spitfire. The Spitfire; there was only one at the time, a MkIX. This was back when the game had a 109-G10. But, we learn, "HTC has three new aircraft coming out very soon, the C.202, the Spitfire Mk V, and the P-38L Lightning. The Lancaster will be the next bomber released, and the rumor is that the Typhoon will be the next fighter." I would have chosen a different word to describe the Typhoon; stabber, attacker, torquemeister, walloper. It's not Ali, it's Cooper. An immobile block that throws out punches.

Interestingly, "the Spitfire currently modeled can be fitted with either 4 .303 machineguns and 2 20 mm cannon, or 2 .50 machineguns instead of the 4 .303's", which is sort-of historically accurate if we assume that the former option is supposed to represent a C-wing and the latter an E-wing. Aces High II doesn't have that kind of functionality nowadays; it would be interesting to have an option to customise the Spitfire's wing, really go to town, stick a clipped wing on the V for example.

Or e.g. have a quad-20mm clipped wing Griffon-powered Spitfire. Then people might be tempted to fly the Spitfire more often, instead of leaving it in the hangar (cough).

You guys need to get Maint to clean the gun carbon off those wings.  Too much wind resistance = poor fuel economy and running ability

I wanna lash him to the back of my tank. Then all that remember the giant squid will know I'm coming, and know to tread lightly around my Konigstiger.

There used to be a giant squid that lurked in a lake in the middle of an old map. If you flew too close, he would pop out and (if I remember correctly, I was only 9 at the time) eat your plane.
