Ahhh Flying Circus!! my first online flygame +) LOVED IT!! Where I first met the AK's (as a SKYLORD) what a hoot!!
Also flew abit of RB2, once again against the AK's for the most part. I'd love to see someone convert that game to D3D.
Well when in FC, I heard that the SKYLORDS also flew AW. Sooo I wandered on in and checked out the ww1 arena.... ick.. but heeey whats this?? the WW2 ARENAS!!
back in the early 90's I read about Air Warrior and tried to get it going on the 386, well after several hours of long distance charges I was unable to get it to work. All of a sudden I found myself in that place I had tried to gain access too!

Needless to say I didn't return to the WW1 arena, I was stuck in RR ETO1 for the next 18 months, initially as an 86th and finally as a member of 4wing.

AW is the grandaddy of em all, it will be a sad day when the servers are turned off and AW fades into history. The community is the only thing that kept AW alive these past 5-6 years, lets hope the future is bright for this gaming genre we all so love.

Stop it, STOP IT NOW! This isn't getting us anywhere. Now, let's all join hands and sing "We Are The World"!!!

Ahhh ... Inigo Montoya is indeed my favorite character from that movie ... but alas, the die is cast and I am stuck in the role of Vizzini.

"You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Ha ha ha--"

Hblairs's right, we're all AH'ers now <smooch>

But.....

Tell us former AW'ers how the WB events worked out, would you please? We're all ears, we like this stuff.

Mind you, if WB events had such a strong following, what happend when you all moved here?

Here's to the future!

Seeker,

WarBirds events are running fine. "They all" who moved do not represent whole WarBirds community. Lots of people visiting AH returned to WB as well. Today is another WarBirds event, EMC 32 and its 3rd frame. In frame 2 we flew happily 109 Emils, Franzs, Ju88s and Me 110s in the skies of North Africa, so the WB events are still very much tehre and alive, thank you.

Forgot, http://www3.ient.com/emc/ - that is the premier WarBirds event. Weekly continuing campaign. Then there are the Scenario Lites and S3s.

Thanks Grendel.
