Obviously, except generally I don't think the game has changed much at all.  I'm about the last person you'll find reminiscing about the "good old days," because those days are right now for the people who play.

And to be clear, while Aces High is a fantastic game, over a decade of playing anything will burn a person out.  I like to talk about it and hang with old friends, but the reason I don't play isn't because I'm afraid that being rusty will tarnish some kind of legacy.  I just find other things more fun to play these days, and they require significantly less effort to do well than Aces High.

Color me uncool!

Understood....burn out is an issue generally solved when things become a challenge once again.  While the game may have changed little and the pilots even less....surely you'll agree if you came back you would find yourself challenged to get to the level you once were if thats even possible?  That struggle is where the burnout leaves and the challenge begins.

Things ARE different because the people are different.  Come back and find out for yourself...if not...that's obviously cool too but....

Coming from the UK, I hope you meant "kilts" and not skirts because he is talking about men.   :)

If you like to wear a skirt while flying that's your business, but please don't bail out... ;)

For those of us who have only been around two years or so, what about compiling a fight'n list of the top-20 sticks all-time. Once we get a list of names we could do a weekend bender, maybe over Christmas and have them all show up.

All I know is what I've seen over the past two years. Everything else is Grassy Knoll stuff out of Dallas.
