Original Alpha tester, here.  I remember my first flight.  I wondered why my wings kept disappearing, then I noticed the red icons.  Head-bob was quite an experience.  But the thing that sold me was the flight model.  Even then, it was superior to WB.

<S> to HiTechCreations! And Happy Birthday!

Forgot what Beta version I started on, but it was sometime in mid to late October.. 0.3 something. It was/is my first online flight sim experience, shooting at planes controlled by ppl not by AI.  There is still much for me to learn (there should always be stuff to learn  :) ).  From a handful of planes to about 50 planes and vehicles/ships, it's been a wonderful ride.  And it'll only get better.  Thanks and Happy Birthday  :)

Yup,
 Another Betazoid here. Early October 1999 Version 0.36 if I remember correctly. One thing I do remember for certain though was the Ack, We have it easy now.    :eek:

You were a Rook, No I was Bish
You flew a Spit, No it was Nik

Ah, yes, I remember it well.

I know it's been a long time and I know that I still suck so I looked into the database and see that my first listing was in Beta Tour 3.  Anyone know when that was?  I also think there should be a special award for those of us loyal Mullets who have been here with the same nick since the very beginning.

It's been fun for me if not for the wife.

Joined the beta here about 1 month into the life of the product, late October 1999.  Even in those early days, its potential and performance was far above all competitors.  Just keeps getting better!  The release of 1.08 should be a watershed event for the entire online aircombat sim industry.

Started on Day One    :)

Haven't regretted a single day or a single payment when it went pay to play.  The price drop was a welcome surprise.

Thank you HiTech, Pyro, Natedog, Superfly, Ronni and Yankee, for all of your hard work! It has provided immense enjoyment and an escape from day to day life.  Oh, how I love to log on and put the stresses of everyday life in the back of my mind, and the stresses of AH nearer the front   ;)

"Happy Birthday #2"....Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!  Best of luck on all future releases  :D

Thanks again,

Rob53

Downloaded Aces High December 1999.  Still addicted and still needing improvment.
