No I wouldn't recommend that. Sax speaks in tongues and has bad "mojo"

Not something for the new and uninitiated. It's dark and requires the giving of something that can't be takin back..

Blood screams in the cold dark and damp..

It's..

Well personally, I'd pass.

Yeah, funny how that FDSS guy used to put "erm" in his posts, like "erm, no".

Know anyone else that does that?

Erm..., no, I can't think of anyone.

Many thanks to all those with helpful replies. I realise now that this game is entirely different to Air Attack. In that game you had to land on the runway for repair and whilst waiting some players would "runway" you, blasting you to bits whilst motionless on the runway. Heavy frowns all around and gloats from the Runwayers.

This looks to be my type of game, and I found it by accident whilst browsing at another forum. I've heard of Aces High before, but didn't realise it was an internet only game to which you could subscribe. I've downloaded the game, but haven't played yet since I prefer to read up on the forums first and get to know others. That way I'm better prepared for what goes on ingame. It's not so much me that needs convincing as me mates, tight gits at the best of times, and I was hoping they can be convinced to sign up.

Now I have some spare time I'll take a read around the forums and familiarise meself with gameplay.

A free Biggles scarf to all the well wishers:

Aye, 'tis me, Mr. Overlag, sir. Nice to see you, to see you nice. Thanks for the support. I'm no longer a Don at OcUK, having resigned. I no longer visit or post there.

I'm now a Mod at Digi-Darkroom.com, a Home for Wayward Dons. Most of us are there: Rebel, Saracen, 2Blue4U, Gordy, Bod, Stumpy and Mr. Fixxxer. Since I have spare time on my hands now I decided to get back into the gameying scene and have some fun for a pleasant change. I tend to think this is the kind of game I'd want to subscribe to.

I flew Air attack ,,,,Alias Fighter ace 1 / 1.5  way back when .... and FA2 .... it was always a cut your throat type of sim ....and the players tried to get away with lots of stuff ...along with the cheats ect.

Ace's High is alot better .... stronger community , better support ,and a better flight model , more realistic on how the plane flys .... you take air attack /FA1 and put it on full realism ... add wind , stalls ,ect and you'll  start to get close to the FM of AH .

 AH has a better plane set then AA /FA1  plus ships and ground vehicles, and manned ack, and gunner in bombers, and the join a players plane .... the list goes on .... once you get past the learning stage you'll become a AH junkie like the rest of us...

I've dealt with this type before. They are the sort who come into a shop, whine about everything, expect you to grovel to them in an attempt to sell something, and then leave the shop empty-handed. Not worth the trouble, IYAM.

I say again - piss off.

Is there really any need of such gutter language and sarcasm? Not that I need to give you an explanation, but I'll give you one anyway. It's not myself I'm asking for, more to persuade my friends to join who have reservations on forking out almost £10 per month for a game. I also posted here in order to acquaint myself with the online community. Your insults and comments were uncalled for, insolent and bad mannered. It's not big and it's not clever.  Trying to make yourself look the tough guy in front of your peers only serves to make you look a prat, not me, and is a sign of having a very small Willy when you hide behind a screen.

I have too much respect for myself and other members of this community to resort to name calling, so I'll refrain from returning any insults or sarcasm. In the meantime treat yourself to a Severe Frown:

lol.  He'll do.

Be advised though, gutter language and sarcasm is all we are really good at.

Ah, here we have rearm pads, and if a field is capped with enemy fighters, motionless aircraft sitting on the rearm pads are easy targets.... so yes, I would say it does happen.

Best way - may I also suggest you download and read the Help file before venturing online?  While most players are only too pleased to help a newbie, it does get irritating for some when the answers to some basic questions ("How do I start my engine?") can be found in the Help files.  Also check out
 Netaces.org for some very helpful information on all aspects of the game.  

Maybe once you get established in the game, you may also wish to check out some of our Special Events - see the Calendar for details of what is coming up, and look out for my weekly Special Events Announcements.  

Welcome to Aces High.

LOL!  Don't have a cow, man. Sorry if I tarred you with the same brush as a salamander that was floating around these boards at the time I subscribed. His name was Flying Duck Sitting Swan, and he went to great lengths to say why he would not subscribe to the game at the end of the free trial. (FDSS post) And I always wondered what the point was of telling everyone. People like that remind me of those nutters that hang around Hyde Park Corner, spouting crap about the second coming. (I can only manage it once, and then have to have a rest for two hours - must be my age). As for gutter language, I don't think "piss" is too bad a word. It's not stamped on by the language filter, and I even saw skuzzy himself referring to a "pissing contest" - lol.

These "shall I subscribe" posts are on a par with quit posts. The stock answer to those is "don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out" - lol. At the end of the day, YOU have to work out if this game is worth your $14.95 subscription. No one else can do that for you, any more than we can eat, sleep and crap on your behalf. Subscribe now! If you don't like the game you can always cancel. The cost in UK money is less than £10/month. I really can't see the point of threads which debate the wisdom or folly of such a piffling expense.

You don't know anything about my Willy. I'll have you know I'm very clean, and use a special soap which also claims to beautify your BBS posts.

[DrDea]

Well Beetle,I wouldnt expect anymore from someone who uses a Sidewinder in the game.Still draggin those knuckles on the ground my man?

I'm not married!  So your "otherwise" caveat applies.
