I was born in Belarus and speak Russian somewhat fluently (moved to the States 20 years ago when I was 7).
The most graphically advanced combat flight simulators (Rise of Flight, IL-2, DCS) are all developed by Russian companies. It may be hard for an American game like Aces High to get that community's attention. Personally, I like Aces High because of the community, historical mega-scenarios like FSO, and compatibility with older computer hardware.
