Yup that’s pretty much my story!

I saw an add that said: "Stop playing with yourself"

I remember this what is it????

I think I saw it in a magazine, maybe a gaming magazine? People used read stuff back in the day, not watch 30 second videos. No wonder the youngsters have a shorter attention span then a goldfish. I wonder how many people under 40 have read a book of a few hundred pages and finished it...

Ah so true. My son is 13 and longest read for him was "Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy", over 800 pages. Trilogy of "Lord of The Rings" and many others. He loves books and that came by example of his parents. No smartphone, he don't even want one.

People have even been taking pics of him and posting them in social media, wondering how that age of young boy sits in a park and reads book instead of fiddling some zombie application.

Here is another blast from the past:

Still have this book sitting on my shelf.  This was just before AH.  Even have a Warbirds sweat shirt awarded to me when I had won a dogfight with HiTech.  He used to hold contests online and award winners with real merch.  Also have several "campaign" pins.  I remember flying halfway across the country to attend a Warbirds convention...different world.

546 pages. That is a book.  What was the book about? Gameplay? dev stuff?

All the above, plus a synopsis of the largest squadrons at the time, WWII pilot stories, a break down of each aircraft, tactics/tips, history of the game from AirWarrior to Warbirds in 1999 (including the resignation of HiTech and staff from IMagic to form HiTech Creations), the Warbirds community in various countries, Warbirds events, etc.

Great bit of history filling in the AirWarrior to Aces High progress and how much Dale has contributed to the genre.

Plaed AW when we had to pay per hour. Then it was Free to playon AOL. Still got 100s of films of flying somewhere on a USB. Played as Yipi then on the B side. Their was a glith where I flew without a cockpit for a few years but I could see better so flew like that lol. In AW 3 the graphics got pretty good and I thought there noway it can look better than that then
