I understand Bluberry was banned due to some hacking. That is all I know.

Their are a quite a number from our squad that havent been playing much. Hoping that some of the new stuff will be out this month

At least get the story right from both sides regardless if history is being rewritten.

#acking has such a sinister sound to it for a game like ours. Accomplishing nothing but waking up sleeping feelings and anger over someone already long gone. While causing casual observers to question having confidence in playing our game. This was resolved privately in the real world by HTC. After all, the person in question will never be able to enjoy our game again as a result of this incident. Isn't that enough?

There are too many vested parties in the drama that erupts over the groups of players and individuals surrounding much of this. Give Skuzzy a break.

I figure if it weren't for me flying, those guys with high scores would have to search a bit harder for kills   :D

Another late late night of fun was chalked up...wish my dying X-52 wouldn't induce the "stop moving your controls so much" prompts.  Replacing that is on the top of my "When I get employment again" check list!  I've got a neat little setup with the X-52 and game...the minute I start banking and turning, the stall horn wails away and I fight to control the airplane.  Dampening the controls...and the user (with Sam Adams) seems to find a happy middle ground.

You are correct Semp.  Hitech quote-At the same time in searching BluBerry's account we found out he should never have been playing for the last 2or so years because he had been already banned for hacking. He some how got past our systems.

Fellers, he changed his IP stuff or whatever.  He didn't hack passwords or coad.  But whatever

No, he was busted for hacking the game.  We do not ban people for changing IP addresses.

This topic needs to change, now.

I left for quite a variety of reason the main reason is my dad is bed ridden and I am his primary care taker. I could pay the $15 a month, problem is when I can actually logon, the numbers are so low its not worth spending the money when I can do something like Payday 2 for a few minutes.
I honestly didn't want to quit flying, I have no choice - the low numbers when I am online and fact that i can barely spot a sortie here and there, just left me with no interest in continuing to play. That and the fact that losing all my perks, because I skip a month or two - was downgrading.

Falcon 6 operates my time, and some cheap steam games; I check back in here time to time to check on topgun and everyone else, but its probably R.I.P. for me ever coming back. In fact my dad just got back out of the hospital, dealing with social security and running a business just is to much.

Agreed.  Hacking is way different than IPs.  Those change for many of us...probably most...

My work schedule has been interfering with my play for years now. If Im lucky I get one day off a week and maybe a few hours to play that night. Between lots of over time and getting older I just dont have the gas to play much anymore. A lot of us have work issues, or have started families, or have plain gotten old.

I also dont think flight games have taken on to the younger generation. The first wave of gamers was older cause you had to be to afford it and there wasnt as much console competition as well as more interest in historical flight back in the earlier days and Aces High was pretty much the cutting edge at the time. At least with multi-player. Its still a very sound game model I believe and its only weakness is its dated graphics.

For me its the best game model out there.

Ahhh yes... I'd forgotten about this nor was this the person I was originally referring to.

Interesting reading.. thanks for the link.

Grizz and Irish weren't banned from the game.   They were banned from the BBS.  They choose not to play for that reason
lol, I can think of a dozen more who share that status

Yes.  I wish that wasn't the case though.
