« on: November 04, 2023, 09:12:08 PM »
Anybody around here play Fighter Ace?  I flew with the FC Squadron (The Flying Circus) from the late '90's until they killed it in 2009 or so, and left us high and dry.  I FC_Graywolf back then and flew with and against some of the best guys I've known in gaming.  Anybody that old in here?

Yep, flew it, Janes, WB, but stayed in AW. I do remember a squad named Flying Circus.

Yes I was with Fighter Ace from the original until it was sold off about the time Aces High started getting going.

I was in Musketeers Escadrille back then with Cobra, ninez, higgins, Dukemskt, nethawk, happ, thorns.

We came over to AH about 23 years ago..back when I was a youngster of only 41

Still a blast imo!

I flew fighter ace. I also flew the version Free Chinese version called Air Attack before f/a had its lift off. I was apart of a few squads and had different names. LP_LiquidIce or Liquid are the only names coming to mind but I had a few. I started SIMs very young at 14, with Falcon. Found a forum back then where we would connect on Roger Wilco or ICQ then connect 56k to each others IPs, the squad I found were retired Blue Angel and Air Force pilots. Been hooked since, Fighter Ace was my introduction to fighting up close guns only WW2. 39 now, time  :airplane:

WB here as well, from November 2018. So I cannot be counted as pretty oldtimer, except in terms of my brain actions. Or lack of them.

I'm from way back, but I flew Air Warrior, not Fighter Ace.

I flew in Air Warrior from 1988 until it closed down.  Then came on over to Aces High.

Read about it back then in one of the popular computer magazines while in the AF on Okinawa. Was anxious to get back stateside to try it and did '90-'92. GEnie at $6/hr.

I think it was an article in pc magazine that pointed me to AH

I started flying Warbirds in 1998, flew with the Drifters, then with the Avengers.  We made the move to AceHigh as a squad back in 2007 and have been active in here ever since.

I came here from Air Warrior with my squad 444th Air Mafia. Flew with a couple different squads here after the Mafia disbanded ended up sticking with VF-17. Been here since 2001. Used the same name through out.

the 444th had a great squad logo, IIRC.

This one?



I wish I could say I drew that one but I think it was "KKANE" who started the Mafia web site and made up a lot of the art for it.

I did the same route as SIK. I did spend a bit of time in Fighter Ace and Warbirds with "TRIX!" when AW was closing down. We did a couple months in both trying them out before sticking with Aces High. Thats when I brought the Mafia over.
