Wow, yeah, your stories make me smile, Xanax!  :aok

DoK was here long ago.  He did the Rangoon '42 scenario in 2004.  But I haven't seen him around since those days.

If folks had told me back in the early 1990's that something like Air Warrior would be available, but with far better graphics, better flight modelling, over 100 aircraft, all the historical terrains, and VR (if you want it), for $25/month for unlimited flying any time of day -- and yet that a world of gamers would be apathetic about that rather than storming in to play it all day -- I wouldn't have believed it.

Here DoK's film about that event:




His website still has a file you mentioned:

Wow, thanks! Now I don't need to go up in the attic again until another long lost hobby or activity needs revisiting. My jiu-Jitsu gi is still up there next to the guitar and baseball card collection.

Started Warbirds in 1995 and came to Aces High in 2000. Been here ever since. I remember a lot of the people in this thread.  :old: :cheers:

wow,I created a account just to say hello to all you old timers.Talk about a long time ago!! I flew wayyy... back in the day as ICOM. I cant even remember my squad....  JG26 maybe?. it was definitely early to mid 90's. I'm getting too old and its been so long ago. I think when I started it was 1.99$ an hour? Anyone remember the conventions in Houston and Dallas around 95 maybe 94? Anyone go to those?  I guess it was warbirds back them... at least I think that was the name?.  I met Dale and Pyro at those. It was such a fun time. I was even lucky enough to win something, it was a free trip to a Boeing plant and I was able to fly a real commercial pilot simulator, what a blast from the past. I do remember Frodo and Kermit icons from the past. I hope both of you are doing fantastic. Happy hunting to everyone here.

I found some old Air Warrior stuff, and the "Over Flanders Fields add on for another game I don't remember off hand.

I have a rig up and running now, downloaded AH, but haven't had time to get it all up and see how it runs.
