Notify the MA when a hot topic is posted

Perhaps a general banner type notice could flash in the MA for Forum hot topics to get a wider range of player opinions. Just a thought.

How about making the forums accessible from the game

I think you're onto something with this one. O'Club indeed.

I guess I must be weird...when I play a game, I play the game. When I want to read the forums, I read the forums. The last thing I'm thinking about when playing a game is, "hmmm, I wonder what inane drivel is hot on the forums right now; I wish there was a way for the game to annoy me so I can find out".

This. The code should probably already be there from the help system that HT installed.

Agree, but sometimes I want to look up information that's not in-game, and I usually Alt-tab out of Aces High to do so. Mostly when deciding on a particular plane to fly for a particular purpose.

I keep an old laptop on my desk and use it to post to "Flight City Radio" on FaceBook while Im flying as well as keep up on the BBS. I know that this isn't an option for everyone, but it is handy on climb outs.

Alt Tab and the autopilot seems sufficient to me to reach the forum, on the other hand it would be nice to pull up a performance chart while in game in the air without having to alt tab.
