You are supposed to lose the menu buttons across the top.  Tap the 3 parallel lines to get the menu.

I'll look at that text item and see what I can do with it.

When I switch to desktop mode I get the same picture as Fugitive but I still can't access the full score page. Skuzzy try setting the page where you can slide to see the columns blocked out. Same thing happens on my iPhone and android.

Thats what I figured, but wanted to be sure.

I think thats the issue he is talking about with a major rewrite for that page. When setting the page up for "mobile" viewing it uses percentages. He runs out of room when it gets down to phone size. To add a scroll setup is what I think he may be looking into. He may have to set it in a nul area so it doesn't mess with the percentage sizing.

No matter what I do it is going to look bad.  Tabular data is difficult to format for a small screen.

I'll have to wrap the columns, which is going to make the page very long and difficult to read.

Or I can make it an image, which would not be readable when scaled to that small size.

So like, what about posting articles, screen shots, and films of upcoming events for web site viewers so they know what and when a fun special event is. I really do think it would help to advertise the other fun aspects to the game that people will overlook and forget about. Plus when new website visitors check out the game, they will see these scenarios, watch the video, get entertained and possibly sign up for the game. I just think more front page website action about upcoming events would go a long way to promote the fun and events for more players.

The front page is absolutely not the place to advertise up coming events other then possibly large scale scenarios. The place to advertise events would be in game such as the opening screen. Or on the loading dialogs.

Thanks for your reply. I think that would be real nice having a message in game!

The website could use an embedded date tag of 2016.

When I Google 'flight simulator games', Aces High is one of two games in the ribbon that comes up without a year date.

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=flight+simulator+games

For its ranking on the pages with other flight sim games, that might be hits from their additional embedded tags. It's been too long since I looked at tags so I can't remember how to verify that statement.
