Does the promo work?  I see WW1 planes on the box.  Isn't that AH2 or 3 ?

This was a one time thing in 2011

Love that poster!

If there is a quick reference card for keyboard mappings that would be cool too.

Only a quick start guide, basically just telling you how to install the game.

Well, now I got Aces High, Version 2.25, Patch 2 on my computer  :aok

Unfortunately, that's the end of the story. Of course I can't reach any online arenas, but account administration doesn't work, too. 'Webpage Help' runs into 404. Nowhere to enter my code for the "two months free subscription (worth 19.99€) promised on the backside of the CD case. Bummer.

I followed the instructions and all I got was a lousy poster  :old:
(my son still thinks the poster is way cool   :rock)

I think the poster is way cool, too.  Sorry, but I guess the 2 months free was for AHII, not AHIII.  Was worth a shot.

There is no option to enter any code when you create an account or try to subscribe in AHIII, I tried both steam and the stand-alone version (which, by they way, downloaded at only 1/5th the speed of the steam edition), I also don't remember having seen such a thing in AHII.  :headscratch:

Well, the cover only says "Aces High"....

But of course that's silly nitpicking. It's also not a real problem, I can imagine being the first one in years to buy this disk. It's not on regular sale or advertised anywhere and AFAIK Iceberg Interactive doesn't have the rights anymore.

Where did you even find it Lusche?
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

that was kazaa's artwork from a competition and that is us flying the Tiffie when it got re-modelled.

I'll sign it if you would like Lusche.     :banana:
