Those of you who feel Aces High is superior to all other sims, ought to be on Hoggit making that case. Hoggit is pretty much considered the epicenter for combat flightsim discussion at the moment.
Merely hiding in your echo chamber safe-space bubble, only preaching to your own choir, does nothing to expand your reach; and frankly smacks of fear of rejection.
BTW, there was a guy on Enigma's discord that I think I convinced to comeback to AH for another try. Can't remember his handle now. He had been a former player. I was (gasp) praising AH for some of the things it does do better compared to DCS and Il2 and 1946 and he was reminiscing and said, "Man, if AH ever supported VR I might have to give it another try. " So he was excited to hear that it had added it since he was last there and I made the case (which I honestly believe) that in my opinion AH in fact has one of the best VR implementation in the industry. I know he downloaded the trial. Don't know if he has gone online yet. I suggested he get all his controls tweaks and get AI practice offline before going online and starting his trial clock.
Some of you people might try crawling out of your hermit shell a little. There is a whole world out there. There are things in other sims AH could learn from, and a lot other sims could learn from AH.
Not much I can disagree with here.
But, from how you presented that site before, it just sounds like of flame fest. I doubt much actually gets settled or accomplished. Taking old graphics into a flame fest of modern eye candy could hurt more than help. Kinda what was done on Steam. A bunch of leap-froggers who spend 15 minutes in a game and think they are the authority of all games as they spend 15 min in another. Thats not the crowd we want. We got that from steam and commercials.
Its the adrenaline of the MA concept of AH other sims have a hard time beating, even with old graphics. I’m biased, but its always they have this, they have that, but always ends with AH has the most action fun.
Sad part about sims, not one has everything, always a hole in the design.
What it would take for full throttle bliss is if the top 3 sims merged, an MA would need to play a roll.
Totally agree with thinking outside the box/bubble. Why it doesn’t matter to me the views on a video if it’s all my own tribe viewing. I was hoping some would share good videos on outside sites. They do no good if they are not, at the mercy of YT searches,
During a long convo with HT, his big thing is he tried EVERYTHING to get people to play and is just drained on new ideas. That is what inspired me. I never throw in the towel.
AH has a lot of life, however its a biosphere, so contained its become cult-like. An isolated gem. One person like me trying to reach outside the box can only barely move the needle. Negative post snd lack if advertisement is our enemy.
Many are such doomsayers, negative, hopeless, that its hard to get anyone on board with anything. Ya just can’t post hopelessness on the bbs and expect outside readers to want to jump in. As I’ve stated, its demise lays in its own players, more so disgruntled former players spreading poison as designed.
Fly all sims, but it doesn’t matter to AH if they are not in the MA. Everything is based on MA numbers. Numbers breed numbers ESPECIALLY with AH, more so than other sims.
