I remember playing Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, Fighter Duel, Air Warrior, Red Baron, WarBirds and a few others before Aces High.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

CYAC - great game. Loved Red Baron - remember being recruited for the various squadrons by the aces? And you could customize your paint job? Such a great game!

When was the last time anyone released a decent WWII flight sim game?

That was the best part about Red Baron, being able to have custom paint jobs. Didn't have a ton of options, but had more than enough in my book. :aok

Close before AH (1998) anyone remember the small company Simguilde? They have created Flying Circus a WW1 Sim, massive online Multiplayer. That's where i got my multiplayer wings  :D
First i flew with the Hells Angels (HA) and ended up as a Flying Tiger (FT).
Loved it and made many friends around the world, especially with the AK's (Arabian Knights) guys :D
The statement below is true.

i played Fighter Duel a lot back in 1995-1996. We used Kali service for gamematching - all different games where there, so those playing fighter duel would put fd- before their nickname. To this day i'm fd-ski :)

I never played FD in multiplayer, I had a terrible connection
 I just loaded up 1v8 AI and went to town. First one I was able to play online was WarBirds starting in 1999.

SWOTL, of course.  As Eagler said, the Battlehawks, BoB games before it.  Hey, I go back to Intellivision B-17 Bomber.
