Congrats on all the great work! Even though I have never played AH, there is ample evidence that you have developed an awesome game/simulation.
Not being a member of this "community", I can only hope (imagine) for you all that a year from now AH is THE recognized highest quality multiplayer sim out there. This implies, in my opinion, three different things:
1. More of the same: Receptivity to player input and frequent innovation and error correction.
2. A widening of the game´s appeal by extending plane selection and "type of fighting" to the early war, as well as organizing frequent, diverse, and high quality historical scenarios and events.
3. A further widening of the game´s appeal by developing versions for different and significant platforms, as your two main competitors are doing: Mac, Linux, or both.
I hope and trust that this community takes advantage of the creators´ receptivity to their suggestions, and encourages them to maintain their wonderful performance on #1,while urging them to improve their performance on #2 and #3.
Think of it... If players push for, and the creators do, the last two points, I cant see any reason for any serious high fidelity simulator fan to go anywhere else than here, with the possible exception of WWIIOL for ground war types.
It´s all about widening the appeal of AH for all the serious flight-simmers who would otherwise fail to appreciate the creators´ efforts. I think that´s important.
Cheers,
