sorry, but not all of us are rich enough to afford a $15/month game. AH makes plenty of money because of that fee, so it should continue to let us have a free H2H arena, for people who can't afford online play. I think its a smart move on Hitech Creations view, too. All the other flight sims make you pay for online, or nothing (or a severly limited free head to head, as in Warbirds). Since we have a free little H2H online, it probably attracts more people to AH (that's how I came to AH from Warbirds), and once I can finally afford online play, I'll start paying so I can get into the real online play.
