Before you lose the energy and position to do it.

Unfortunately, two weeks isn't close to the amount of time it takes the average player to learn how to get past his (or her) frustrations and enjoy the game. If a potential paying customer had access to a smaller plane set and stuck with it long enough to win a fight or two he (or she) might be more tempted to pay a monthly fee to experience the planes that offer more advantage (or merely appeal to their online persona).

Steam release showed new players didn't even stay for a few hours. The two weeks limit obviously wasn't the problem.

Well, arcade gamers have the attention span and endurance of six month olds. AH will never be their cuppa. Can't change that. But I still say two weeks bait no longer captures the imagination and desire of the potential flight sim enthusiast that may flourish once they discover the AH community filled with history geeks and squadron fetishists (historical or otherwise). I'd love to see a marketing/advertisement method that could reach the particular type of customer that finds such more appealing than arcade play in just a few hours (the FTP game without restriction has spoiled most). Til then, I suspect making a sampling of the full plane/vehicle set FTP until full blown infection sets in.

I may be getting my new PC back from the PC doc this Wednesday. Here's hoping their assessment of the CPU having 'bent pins' was just confusion on the part of the person calling Kelly about the issue (since the processor had contacts instead of pins ... and the motherboard didn't have pins, either). I anticipate telling them they get no more business from me. --- But I digress.

the problem has always been the lethality in air to air combat of AcesHigh.  Warbirds used to have a far more generous dosage of lethality that allowed you to take several hits and not explode immediately or pop a wing off, or a tail as soon as you heard a ping.  In Warbirds you had a chance to recover from a bad position, or a bad situation, and turn the table on an attacker.  In AcesHigh if you lose the advantage in a fight then you are finished about 95% of the time.  THIS is what drives people to enter the fight with a good advantage, and to FLEE the moment that advantage starts to slip.  But hey, its so important to today's gamers to see instant death dosed out to the opponent.

I don't  understand the complaints about game play I guess. I enjoy running supplies for Christ sake. I have frustrated more enemy resupping a Town while they are trying to take it than I can count. When I am fighting I look for my regular group of people usually. When they are doing something I just enjoy whatever they are doing whether it is productive or not and I don't even think about what else is going on. I do understand the business problem that AH has and I hope they figure that out, but for me I just appreciate being able to furball when I want, take a tank into some strats, killing ordinance, or sitting in the tower watching others. As stated there are some people that if they are on I'm in with them regardless. This game has a lot to offer me.

To each his own I guess.

You should be ashamed at having so much fun.       

Well done my friend... well done.
