Title: What is this place...
Post by: Dondo on December 20, 2003, 11:27:59 PM: A loooong time ago, I flew AW at GEnie. I haven't flown online since then ('91?). Got the itch again, and found this and 'the other place.'

It looks to me like this is the spiritual successor... yay or nay?

Any others from the prehistoric era still around?

Post by: Monty405 on December 20, 2003, 11:35:54 PM: you'll find a ton of people from the AW series who live here now (myself included, from aw2 to aw3 on EA, but since been here)

Aces High seems to boast the best ww2 flight sim population

Welcome to AH, if you like AW youll love it here :)

I'd say there are dozens of GEnie AWers here - most importantly, Hitech and Pyro.

When the "Evil ones" are done with the tax right off they will sell it or license it, and by that time it will truly be worthless due to age...
Long live Pong!!!!
