Hello Guns,
Was that old sim 'Confirmed Kill'? I think I recognize your handle, though I may have it confused with GUNJAM.
Things are good here - the game is stable and has very good VR support. 100s of planes and vehicles to fly, 3-country War, special events throughout the week and a few scenarios a year. Friday Squad Ops draw the most players of the special events.
Numbers-wise, AH builds from 30-40 in the AM hours throughout the day and generally peaks between 8-9 pm CST at 100+ to 150 players. Fridays have that plus another 100 or so FSO participants. 14 different terrains to fight over, 100s of planes and vehicles to fly or fight in, each with a maximum of 64 different skins. You can dogfight, move mud, level bomb, have armor battles, deliver supplies, or even take command and man the big 16" guns of a battleship.
Come back and give it a try!
