Warbirds. Warbirds. Warbirds. You know, that WWII simulator that people bypassed cheezy Air Warrior to pay 2-300 bucks a month (that would be 2-3 Benjamin Franklins a month) to fly?

Warbirds. That simulator that raised the bar.

Yeah, Warbirds. That's where I come from.

Not some steenkin, cheapo, two bit, has-been, piece of junk, 5 buck a month, pac-man with wings gamey game.

AW events? Bah!

Warbirds S3's and Scenario Lite's is what we should be trying to emulate.   :)

Warbirds. Hitech and Pyro's last project.
Aces High. Their current project. Not some steenkin erased-from-the-server-replaced with-online-poker piece of crap shoot em up E-Z moder, cheezeball meeting place for eighties guys.

I came from Warbirds and I left it behind me two years ago. Surely you *Air Warriors* (cough) can leave that game behind you.

You are all Aces High pilots now, ya know. I don't care to re-live your history on this board, and I know you don't want to re-live mine. :P

Tell ya the truth I had left the game itself about a year and a half ago.  I however, did not cancel my account because people I call friends worked there.  It was the one thing that really made the game so appealing to me in its hayday.  EA took over and I still supported my friends tho I maybe flew once every couple of months.  Then EA layed off some of my friends and I cancelled my account after a year of blindly donating to the cause.  At that point, time and a very basic computer did not make AH attractive to me.  BAck to AW, I had cancelled my account, but still there were some friends left  :(.  However, they are all gone now and any attachment I had to the game.

True, even in my first or second post I never mentioned AW.  Some people automaticly ass-u-med  :).  I knew it was going to happen.  Heck some guys are still bent over it.  With time they will get over it  :).  I am sure they are having fun shooting me down  :).

Yup, After I used up my 50 bucks a month (sometimes I'd go 100, but very rarely), I'd play H2H or the ACA. You be right, I was an addict in those days and spent a lot of time there. The ACA was full realism for a while before it got buggered.

Thanks, Ghosth. I just wanted to clarify that I've got nothing against WB, either. I've always thought the communities (AW,WB,AH) were just different branches of the same family. My old squad used to pay a great deal of homage to the Jolly Rogers over in WB (of course, we picked up their banner when they left AW to fly WB). Great buncha guys!
