Birds of Steal looks awesome.

IL2 and War Thunder also look like they have much better graphics then AH.  What gives?

No Air Warrior! No Aces High?

I still think a boxed Aces High game would have helped tremendously, although Air Warriors boxed game didn't help this idiots list

Well there are some air combat sims out there with better looking graphics than AH, but I don't think they were built to handle 300+ planes in the same arena at the same time.  I'm sure there are tradeoffs that needed to be made to support that.

As far as that top 10 list, they could've stipulated "of all time" because there were a number of those titles featured where the graphics were so primitive I could barely watch.  I'd be much more interested if they limited it to current titles, and I have no doubt AH3 should rank in the Top 10 on that list.   It's just not well-known enough as a sim I think.

Yes what Oboe said. I think a cheaper way to promote AH3 is to put ads in magazines.

Does anyone else play the other online massive multiplayer flight sims?  Is Aces High the best in your opinion?

I still think a lot of people aren't even aware of Aces High.

Also, what Oboe said.

Post something about AH3 in the comments section.   Might drive some traffic our way if you do.   The more the merrier.

The guy who wrote that list likely isn't even aware of massively multiplayer flight sims.  No Air Warrior, Warbirds, the Microsoft one Bruv played, Aces High....
