lol Aces High was my very first Combat Flight Sim. In December 2002, I download the game at Zdnet.com where I found the game for free and after download was finish I was happy person.  I have been playing H2H quiet for a while in Spring thru Summer until I was ready enter Main Area/Combat Theater.

exactly 2 years as of yesterday...wich means the anniversary of my first kill is in about 3 weeks (took me most of that time to learn how to keep the plane in the air...all second nature now)

before this i played ace of aces on a c64 (actually it was when i was 6...10 years ago :eek:) and have a few memories (should have more but i have a terrible memory) of playing it with my dad (as i remember he mostly  navigated us to the v1s and enemy planes...i just pointed the crosshairs and shot)

you can check in your account information wich you access from htc home page

I started with version 1.05.

 After a few months, the Fw190D-9 and the La-7 was first introduced into the game.

 ..

 How long was that?? I have no idea.. !

What ? Just newbies in here ;)

I Downloaded AH the first day in open beta, and been flying since.
Never closed account either :D
I dont know how long that is, 5 1/2 year or so ?

Before that I flew Warbirds in 3+ years.

Biggest let down in this period was when Hitech and Pyro left WB, biggest pleasure was when they announced that they where gonna create AH.

Yes I admit it, I am the biggest Hitech cheerleader there is ;)

First tried AH in October 2000 but at the time my main game was Air Warrior, which I had played since July 1998.  My squad moved here in April 2001 at the 'beginning of the end' for AW, and I played both until the plug was pulled.  Been here ever since.  :D

1.05 was early 2001 I'm guessing. I started playing 1.02 I think, in July 2000, just before the FM change. AH being my first big online game, it was an amazing experience.
Title: just realized... 2 years for me
Post by: BUG_EAF322 on February 20, 2004, 02:55:04 AM
began at dowdings time at 1.02 / 1.03
for me it was a great thrilling new online experience also.

i mis something of that magic that time.

oh and i never closed my account since

before that i was always to find on the game zone playing European Airwar. I was a real spitdweeb over there although i played on the ladder on wich i started to use the p38.

In AH i was the spit tired already and found my real love the p38.

I decided i would master no matter how.

Started on tour 33, so that was Oct. 2002. So its been about a year and a half for me. Man looking back at those stats is depressing, deaths were 3:1 ratio to kills.........lol  :confused:  Oh well gotta learn sometime. :D

hmmm another one of these...

 was over in FA ,Doa and a few others in the early days here , paitently trying and waiting for it to grow up.

 think it was 1.05-06 when I started moving alot of FA squadies over here ... The CV's was the biggest draw for getting the FA guys over here (we didnt have them in FA 2 )

I was the big dweeb also involved in making H2H a nice place to live while new players learned the game.
(I can still open a room  and it will fill up in ten mins or less)

I was on AH the day after Air Warrior died, October 2001. First plane I could get in the air and actually shoot at something was the Zero. First kill was on a P-38 driven by one of the AKs. Took about 5 days to get it :p

 Wonder if that was a coincidence or they chose Pearl Harbor day?

I think it was pure coincidence..... I doubt the dimwits at EA.com would have realised it's significance.  :(
