HAHA i loved that game

hmmm, i remember some F22 or something Combat sim on my first "computer" an Amstrad 64, you could dog fight with migs, and bomb if i remember rightly, VERY simple gfx but your mind made up the gfx in them days, not like now when everyone wants the computer to draw it for ya

Graphics aren't that important. I discovered Chuck Yeager Air Combat fairly late, when there were better looking sims around, and had a blast with it for a very long time.

It's great that everyone's entitled to their own opinion, which I think is just as important as good graphics.

I actually enjoyed Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer more than Air Combat. I think I would have enjoyed Air Combat more if I'd had a decent computer at the time. I'm not sure, but I might have been trying to fly it using a 386-40, or maybe even the 386SX-16 before that (can't remember).

I was going through some old saved screenshots.. This one was taken on April 21, 1997 upon return of a successful bombing mission I did with the Dickweed Heavy Bomber Group. It was taken in WarBird's (Remember that six years ago flying in formation was something we strived for). The DHBG flys in Aces High today and has the proud distiction of being the Oldest Online Bomber Group in the flight gaming today.

Hey Thunder!

Add a texture map to the ground and that's about what Aces looks like now 6 years later!
