Traveling with Aces High

[5PointOh]

I feel blessed to have a job where I get to travel around the country, enjoying different areas of such a great nation, and bringing Aces High with me.  Many nights on the road I have many of you all to keep me occupied in a hotel while away from family and friends.  Unfortunately tonight will not be one of those nights.   

 

Anyone else out there roaming the roads?

I was a couple years ago. Roaming up and down the east coast. The connections in most of the hotels I stayed at ( used hotels.com and got some great deals at 4 and 5 star hotels  ) but my laptop sucked so the best I could do was buff runs.

Money was great, job was good, kids were grown and in college, but I missed the wife the longer I was out. Glad it ended when it did. Happy being home each night.

I wish you well road warrior!

I to travel for my work. I have been enjoying at home my 20" monitor and my horta stick and throttle with my high speed internet. Now I am trying to play with my 17" lap top and my carefully stashed logitech controller mated to my camera tripod on wifi. For 6.00 in a 24 hr period I can upgrade to 3x highspeed wifi. So let's see... 15.00 a month this month to play and 4 upgrades at the hotel is 39.00 to play this awesome game so far. Might have to upgrade 2 more times. 51.00 this month. Am I crazy or what? It's not like I'm any good. Being on the road sucks, but it helps to have this game to bide time. Peace

Don't judge. In her defense, I got her really drunk first.

I love being on the road, I cover seven states in the Midwest, and occasionally get pulled into other states from time to time. This month is a week in Philly, then San Fran and ending up in South Dakota.  I been traveling for work since I got out of college (nearly 11yrs) and I'm not sure what I'd do with a normal job where I'm home every night.

Wow...$6.00 for net upgrade?  The majority of my hotels have free wifi or my company picks up the tab. I play on a 17in Asus RoG Laptop.  I actually travel with an X52P, it's even survived US airport baggage handlers, and a $7.00 Staples headset.

I salute all that have and do live out of a suitcase. As my boss says "y'all are a rare breed".

I do have free wifi and tried to play on it, but would not work. High speed does but its not great. I'm finding Boston has weak cell service in places, my be the internet is too. The studios pay perdiem daily so that helps offset the cost. It's the only reason I would pay this much to play. I have been traveling for 30 yrs now, gone  for 6 months at a time on the long ones. I have been hauling my flight gear with me for the last 5 yrs. It's work, but I love to fly in aces high. Did I just rhyme that mo fo ?    Lol.  Peace

Jealous. I'd love a job that I got to travel the country.

I've played Aces High in 3 different time zones....East coast...Hawaii and Korea. love seeing the world.....but like Aces High a lot too, would love to see more of the US itself though.

Yep..in my peterbilt 387 using my Verizon usb data device I still get fps of 60 and ping rate of 80 to 110 from Seattle to San Diego and los Angeles to Denver..never leave home without it LOL

I used to travel all over the US and Canada for years and years.  There's very few places I haven't been on the North American continent.  I always took my laptop and JS and played AW then AH in hotel rooms on dial up.  I didn't mind travelling at all as long as I had my AW/AH fix.  Now I "get" to come home every night.

Interesting idea but I'm not sure I could lug my home cockpit around....reassembling each night could get tedious.

Back in 1999 to 2001 I traveled a lot for the company I worked for, mostly visiting military units/bases within North America with some European trips abroad as well.  This was before the advent of wifi everywhere, and my Toshiba Notebook which was top of the line at that time of course didn't have much in the way of a gaming video card, so I COULD play, sort of, but it was all dial up connection from the hotel, which wasn't cheap, although my company paid for my "roaming" account as it was called back then, the rates were more ridiculous than early warbirds/hour rates.  Amazing that only 10 years later, there was hi speed wifi in nearly every hotel and more, and home connections even without FIOS or fiber to the curb can be had up to 250mbits, which is what I'm using at home now for under 80$ a month.

If I was back on the road a lot now, I'd be a lot happier playing, as even a 1000$ laptop can be had with an SSD and a top of the food chain GTX 770 or 780 video card, and with pretty decent wifi connections, the OP's insane net status not included of course, it would be better than being at home for a lot of people.  If someone would just make a mini-hotas for traveling now...
