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!  :eek:
