I was putting together an AH CD for a friend who doesn't have cable: exe, help, sounds, gunsights, and terrains. Of course along the way I was experimenting with the new illuminated historic gunsights posted on the message boards and updated my sounds with Mitsu's lastest patch.
As I shot down the infamous circling P-51s, I started thinking about all the good times I have had with AH. I started playing online HtH with 1.03 in October of 2000. I was finally able to afford a subscription about a year ago? I don't have a lot of time to fly, but I sure do enjoy what time I get.
The last release fulfilled my biggest request: the P-40B in AVG colors. Just looking over the hangar list, I am amazed at how great this game is: a huge selection of aircraft, plus the fun of vehicles, guns, pt boats, and an ever growing selection of terrains.
Do I want more from HTC? Does an addict always want more crack? Of course. More airplanes, more vehicles, infantry, subs, improved graphics, etc.
But even without anymore additions, AH is easily the best flight sim I have ever played. The only other sim that really cuts into my AH time is Operation Flashpoint, which is much like AH in being diverse, immersive, and fun.
So to all those people at HTC who have worked so hard to make flight sim fanatics like me so happy: Keep up the good work.
