Graphics and our community

If I was going to build a new system I would go with a more powerful power supply, not that much more and if you ever want to upgrade graphics card you will need it.

For anyone looking for a cheap computer that can run the game: 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - A10-7860k 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($88.48 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock - A88M-G/3.1 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard  ($63.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory  ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($89.99 @ B&H)
Power Supply: Corsair - CX (2017) 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($21.98 @ Newegg)

Add your choice of case.  This uses the most cost effective integrated graphics.

This would be my recommended build if you want to buy a graphics card as well:

CPU: Intel - Pentium G4600 3.6GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($86.88 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock - B250M-HDV Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($56.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Patriot - Viper Elite 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory  ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($89.99 @ B&H)
Video Card: Zotac - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Mini Video Card  ($144.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair - CX (2017) 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($21.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $470.81

I would suggest getting the graphics card used, you can find alot of 970, 980, or 1060s available now that the newer 1080ti are being sold, many people are choosing to upgrade.  With this processor and a 1060 I am getting 144 FPS, capped because of my 144hz monitor.

Time to move on... only regulars from the old days will pay 14.95 to play that old stuff.

I see where you are coming from.. but putting the game on steam is a sign of what direction we are going.

Im on board.

Some tweaks to gameplay  and UI are needed, .. but thats just my opinion.

I still really enjoy flying with the guys i do.. and i encourage all groups to adopt a noob and show him a good time... i think a lot of us are addicted for that very reason.

You hush

My Commodore 128 wont run Aces High What about my old Tandy? Dont know about some of you, but I for one am glad that I found this game when I did AFTER the kids were grown and on their own! Would feel a bit embarrassed to have 20 somethings still in diapers Got here too late for the HAY DAYS but I love each and every one of you old guys Multiple Sclerosis had beat me down mentally and physically, this game and its players were a God send. Just wanted to get it out there. Love reading these posts and the goosing and ribbing, like a family lol
