That's about what my AH life is limited to anymore...(SEA)

That's about where I'm at right now. Lately I log into MA about twice a week, fly 1 or 2 sorties, and log out. TODs are what keep me coming back.

Toad...check the sig....been lobbying for about 3 versions now

At least one via Head-to-Head modem

Actually, the only reason I'm on Aces High is because its cheaper than Warbirds, and the only reason I got into online flying after the fall of Air Warrior was because of the advertisement for AH that I saw in copies of "Computer Gaming World" and "Flight Journal". Otherwise, it'd be CFS2, NASCAR Racing 2002, and Silent Hunter II.

It was $29.95, and called, "AH 1.03".

Seems so long ago

Not even a consideration. If this kind of hike were announced I'd be gone the same day. I'd end up paying about $4 to $6 an hour to play and right now with the CTD's and freezes not even that much.

If you want to make it real realism then everyone would get one death per account. Period.

we are still allowed to think it was more fun..
realistic or not. The engagments seemed more realistic even if the flight models where not.

Lots of those guys make more playtime on CH 1 than they could ever dream of hands on stick.

I for one hope AW does rise from the dead and takes all its dribble back with it. Of course, the really good ones would stay here so ...bonus points for all involved.

Lol u elitist bastard. U aint seen nothing till you got yer arse handed to you by an "airwarrior" Hah!
I wouldnt suscribe to this game when It was 30 bucks and dang sure wouldnt pay 50.
I do think its a bargain at 15 tho

YOu wouldnt get better quality folks by charging more, you would just get a richer elitist snob. Id rather listen to macro dweebs than elitist snob BS.

Put me down for it Rude. Wuz my idea anyway, you pirate!

...and you note all the guys hoppin in here noting how it won't work, why it's absurd, etc?

Keep those guys out.

We can left the LW fly for 29.95.. we may need somebody to kill.

I'd smak down $14.95 for AH as it is, and do. Monthly, without regret, game play unchanged. I really like it. AKDesert? I’m still in.

I'd add .50 cents per month to have real gauges and cockpits, actually up to $5 if the initial monetary boost by other AH Beta players would make this hideous immersion flaw at least go to user select.

I call on the Beta players, only as the new players haven’t the initiative to pay for it, even though they will in time. Make it a downloadable “addon”feature.

I’d buy it.

I understand yr frustration Hangtime but you may be guilty of a liyttle parochialism.
Although AH is US built and the majority of players(payers) are US domiciled there IS still a significant percentage of non-us players.

For us $50USD can translate into a rather larger sum.

$50US = $100NZ and that plus ISP charges would put it way out of most kiwis (and I suspect aussies) pockets.

I couldnt afford it when it was $30US (thats why I stayed in AW so long).

I would simply move to another sim despite their possible lack of comparison re physics etc. Probably WWIIonline.

A Little?? Damn, I musta misspoke. I was tryin for a LOT.

Look.. nobody wants to charge you more. You'll still have all yer AW buddies to play with, in the same dismal overpopulated aggravating HO'in gang banging furballin strat weenie maggot general infested place you fly now.

We just wanna pay more so we have our own lil place to play our sim with QUALITY gangbangin furballin HO'in vultchin strat weenie potato opponets and compatriots.

Maybe not $50, but gladly $30. But I'm sure there are other ways to limit the "point and click" folks.

Talking about AW3, Sialt mentioned yesterday that the HO model was better in AW3. I recall that when HOing, most of the bullets flew "thru" you. It may be a good idea to avoid the "pull as ahrd as you can and open up".

Absolutely agree, 100%.

"Seemed" more realistic.? Based upon?

They seemed "off" to me right up until 1.04. Not saying 1.04+ was perfect, just "way better". IMO. I sorta am of the opinion that I do have some experience to base that opinion of mine upon.

Additionally, the "aeronautical" guys we usually rely on here on the BBS pretty much all agreed that 1.03 was "off" and 1.04+ was an improvement in "realism". Then there's the fact that HTC went and changed it; obviously they felt it was "off" too, I'd guess.

So, more fun? I would NEVER argue someone's opinion of fun. That'd be against my religion. Fun is where the individual finds it.

I will discuss "realism", however.

$50 US? No way. I paid the $29 and that was steep. I like the current price. I wish they would bring back the discounted 6 month payment plan.

I don't think anything pisses off some of these AH vets more then being out flown by a fresh off the boat AW refugee
