I gather a lot of ex-AW'ers are joining AH. Are any going to WB2.77 or WBIII?

I'm glad to see new fliers here in AH, however, I'm sad to see AW close its doors.

I began flying AWDOS in 1990 and have many fond memories of the years spent there. I suppose WB's or AH is viewed the same by those who chose them as their first sim.

Change kinda sucks when your gettin old...new toys and features will help I know, but those early days were mighty fine IMHO.

Welcome to AH all you AW's...if any of you need any help, give me a buzz.

WB III has a seperate relaxed realism arena so, yes, I'd imagine so.

Yeppers it's now official. For those that hold active AW accounts, when plans are finalized for the farewell fly-by, I'll post them here.

I thought of two .... no three things, when I read the date.

1: How someone said the EA guys at the last con were walking around patting themselves on the back about their Pearl Harbor campaign/promotion (certainly designed to take advange of the movie).

2. The irony of it being Pearl Harbor day.

3. Somebody in the EA foodchain actually DID have a sense of humor (if not common business sense).

That is very true - I know quite a few RR players who are now flying here. Yes, some are finding it difficult, but most of them are persevering as they really want to succeed. Even if they find flying difficult here, they are having fun with all the other aspects of the game... the PT boats, ground vehicles, carrier guns, ack guns, etc....

That's what's great about Aces High - there is something for everybody and for all abilities! As an Air Warrior who has been here since April, as well as continuing to play Air Warrior, I welcome those who are joining us now.
