Some don't find killing AI and buildings interesting, I'd put myself into that group.

Computer "sims" have progressively become more and more real over the last 45 years.

Before too many more years AIs fighting in air combat will be real and human combat pilots but a memory.

Get a taste of the real thing you may want more (1979).

Never said there was just one problem.  ;)

That was an old shirt in 1979. I wore it thinking they were gonna cut off the tail. They didn't.

Well I posted a list of whats wrong with AH in a reply to the Aces High Messiah but I think some mod got their panties in a bunch and gave me a stealth warning as well as put me on another watch list (I'm already on FBI CIA NSA and Interpol watch list whats one more LOL!)



At least Skuzzy had a pair and would at least warn you and even mark your post.

I guess we can add inconsistent skittish mods to the list of things driving people away.

This was the last post I made before the date and time on the warning. Note that the post is still up.

Are we posting about "other sims" Or AH?

Since the OP wants to talk about AH now, lets talk about AH ....

ENY Side-Balance issue ever get solved?

I was here for the auto swap thingy that was a real feces fest but my undertanding is that the best work around right now is to make and pay for 3 susbcritions, parking each sub on a diferent side and log into that sub when side balance goes south and you want to change sides to fly your favorite ride.

While having 2 extra shade accounts was frowned upon for cheating/spying, I'm guessing HT is OK with it these days, Lets be honest it's a bonus welfare check.

have we ever gotten an Auto/perma squelch?

Last new plane/ship/vehicle?

When was the last true functional feature added to AH?

I'm guessing it was a autoside swap feces fest that came out back in 2019/2020ish.

I hear just keeping the server on and online have become somewhat of an issue as of late.

I'm not going to ask about the graphics engine.

What exactly does AH offer the new player to draw them in that they can't get elsewhere that's either better or cheaper?

What exactly is going to bring back old players that have aleady given up on AH and moved on?

26%?  Pffffffpt.



The multiple account thing is sticky.  You're going to have Dad's and their son's playing from the same household.  The 3 accounts paid for by Dad.
The best compromise with security I think is that all accounts from a household must always be on same country and country switch cool-off timer should be shared by the 3 accounts so none of them can switch until all can switch and you can't stagger the timouts to switch more often with less wait.

Never understood refusing the PermaSquelch.  The reasoning I got is that it would hurt the sense of "Community".  I think it would avoid a metric tone of shtt talking and endless bickering.  I think it would be a massive boon the "Community".  Who you chose to "Commune" with ought to be under your control without burdensome hoops like re-entering every session. 

The forum allows me to Permaquelch.. er.. Perma-Ignore without me having to set my ignore list back up every time I logon.

I could write one.  I think I even had a prototype working, but I didn't want to just flat out circumvent his intent.  But like refusing to consider any portion of F2P subset planes, I think rejecting Permasquelch is a mistaken decision, but his to make.

I think "the sense of 'Community'." got tossed out the window when HT started letting some of the more Toxic players back into the GAME.

Almost seams like everything done as of late with the GAME is meant to drive players away.

Toss in the spontaneous downtime's and I'm starting to wonder if it's all done intentionally in an attempt to turn AH into a loss and therefore a tax write off.

But this was SUPPOSE TO BE a thread about "OTHER SIMS" LOL

26%?  Pffffffpt.

I've been playing off and on since beta and been on the current boards for over 23 years. Never gotten a warning and to the best of my knowledge never had a post edited/removed.

My guess is a disparaging comment such as:
"I'm guessing HT is OK with it these days, Lets be honest it's a bonus welfare check."
Toward HTC probably did it.

I stand by that statement. He created a problem with ENY and now he is selling a solution that was previously banned or at least frowned upon. It has the effect of bringing in "Free" money with little to no effort, similar to pay to win mechanics. It's basically a welfare check, money for nothing. (But the Chicks aint free)

Beetlejuice sounds about right. Goes away for a bit and comes scurrying about while screaming "pay attention to me now!!"
