Initial Player Recruitment
« on: December 24, 2016, 05:58:30 PM »
To all Aces High Community:

This is the first major thrust of new player initiative by the Community for the Community.  I am asking for as many of you out there to take a few minutes each week to post this message in all forms of social media.

Hello to those reading this.  I am searching for individuals who are actively involved in internet gameplay.

The game is a WW2 combat flight simulator called Aces High. You can check it out at hitechcreations.com.  It is a 15 year old game with hundreds of players active during an 24 hour time frame but more active during the US evening time.

The game is free to download. All the basic hardware is a mouse, keypad, flight control stick, and headset with microphone.

Game Requirements
 
Minimum Recommended
Operating System XP/7/8/8.1/10 Windows 7
CPU 2.4GHz Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz dual core Intel CPU, or faster
System RAM/Memory 4 GB 8GB
Video Card DirectX 9 compatible NVidia 9800GTX+ class (or better) with a minimum of 512MB of dedicated video RAM2,5 DirectX 11 compatible NVidia 960 class (or better) with 2GB of dedicated video RAM, or more.
Input Devices Keyboard and Mouse3 Keyboard, Mouse, and Joystick
Internet Connection Modem dial-up Broadband land based4
Optional Hardware    Oculus Rift1, HTC Vive1, XBox Controller, microphone, headset

There is a $14.95 a month subscription to play in the servers. Desktop play is free.

You don't have to be a current pilot or former pilot to fly WW2 aircraft. Those who love aviation but never had the oppurtunity to fly are always welcome. Those who love history and an interest to WW2 are welcome. Even those who have no knowledge of flying or military history are welcome.

If this has interest to you, then follow these simple instructions.

1) Go to hitechcreations.com and download the game for FREE
2) Create an active account with an ingame handle (acepilot, 100kills, etc..)
3) Create an Aces High forum bb account - go to Help and Training and post a new topic on being a new player. There are many volunteer players who will be there to assist you.

For all new and experienced computer users and players, we help everyone.

look forward to seeing you.


I have posted a few spots in Craigslist. We have players all over the world. If we flood that in every city and country, then maybe some new players will start to trickle in.

I thank you all for taking the time to read this and especially helping out.

If you don't do antisocial media does that make you antisocial?  :banana:

Roll your eyes since you do not understand.

Many have no idea how to act in groups because they spend most all their time online in what some call social media. Social medial is a misnomer as there is nothing social about it.

You guys have totally hijacked what is a nice thread about recruiting more players.  His idea for placing "Craigslist" advertisements might actually help bring a few players in.  Come on gents, start a new thread if you really need a social media discussion.
