Wow, How time flies! I happened to stumble across this page, and I can't believe it. It's true! Hitech and Pyro are making a game. Now before any of you rip me, no I haven't had a labotomy. So how's the game going? Is it better than Warbirds?

Yup that crazy bastard LLBM is running loose in here now. I'm 19.. be 20 in May. I moved out of that cesspool DC into Maryland 2 years ago. I've been doing pretty good... I knew it was only a matter of time before you found out about Aces High. What you been up to lately? You should give this a shot.. hell it's got a free 2 week trial to start off with!!!

Making a game... Better then warbirds... Are you kidding!
Remember the WB III mentioned a few years ago? Well, that is it under a new name. It is only a year out of beta and stuff gets added by a sh*tload every month. And not just some crappy new planes (though God knows we need those) - it's ground vehicles, anti-aircraft, torpedo boats (and they pack a lot of heat besides those torpedoes), controlled battlefleets and heavy bombardment guns.
What about 3-d cockpits with real neck movement? Smoke, clouds, sunsets? Zoom (from 1:3 to realistk 1:1)? Smooth panning view? Saveable head positions? You will be killed quite a few times while admiring scenery...
How about using any number of controllers - sticks, pedals, gamepads, evem mouse - togeher to control your plane!
The only thing missing was 6-calls and we are getting them in 2 weeks!
In short, you are in for quite a treat. Enjoy!

The only person that had a mouth when I was online was Dkid... and I joined his squad. I liked the guy a lot and we would have verbal exchanges on ch1, but it was all in good fun.

Ah hell naw I hate the Ravens.. Skins are still my team!! There's a B17G, B26(some variant), Ju88 and a Lancaster MkIII. The gunnery system relies on human's only, none of that otto crap.. which is good but it's also lethal if the guy you're up against is a good aim. THere's no Dora yet, but we have the A5 and A8. Next version we are going to get a Ta152. I've been here for a little over a year.. Since Dec '99, but I was flying about a month before that. Since then there's been a lot of really cool changes and a new version is due out "soon". It's way ahead of WarBirds when WarBirds was this old. The graphics are fuggin cool too. Especially if you run 32bit colors, the sunset and sunrise are cool as hell and the cockpits are modelled in 3D so you can move your head around inside of them. Look left/right/up/down/backwards and then you can actually move your head to the left if you want to get a view around the nose and move your head up to look over the nose.
Download the front end, the controls are almost identical to WB, with a few changes.

Hey Dkid!
You finally emerging from seclusion after the Vikes collapse? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Ya should be a Bear fan, we learned long ago never to get our hopes up, so we dont suffer when they lose (which is often of course).
Hell yes Aces High is good. Its a blast, good flight modeling, with good cv stuff, player controlled task force groups and manable cannons for shore bombardment or anti-aircraft.
Ground vehicle fights are good too, panzer vs panzer alot of fun. Current terrain doesnt encourage too many pnzr fights in my opinion though.
MOL is active in AH, and LLBM is now LLB in MOL. Yes, he is still a lunatic.
Fixed rate pricing is a great change to these games, and AH gets reasonably frequent updates to keep it fresh.
Hope to see ya up,
Dago

Hiya Dkid.
To answer your questions, the game is going great, and it's better than Warbirds.
Warbirds is still pretty much where it was when you last played it. It's a great flight sim for 1997 or so.
But HT and Pyro moved on and made a new toy for us. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
It's not perfect, but I could never go back to the old, dog-chewed, faded toy.

Hiya dkid,
--th-- (WB handle) = Thunder.... AH is a blast! Grab a P-51D and have some fun..but be sure to fly Bishop! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hiya Dkid, -rip1- here! <S>

Dkid.. you better get your bellybutton in here. I'll get your phone number from LLBM and call your bellybutton 300 times a day until you fly in here. Especially if you decide to skip on flying this after listening to the drivel on AGW. Would your buddy RedWolfe ever steer ya wrong? ;-)

Drex - Good to see you again. Are you finished with your schoolng? can I call you Doc now?
Vulcan - You still in those nasty P-51s?

lynx - It sure is me, I haven't thought of a new handle yet, but I'll be sure to warn ya. (http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/bounce.gif)
Maniac - (http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/cheers.gif) Need I say more?

Actually, Worr is not playing AH. Trust me, you would know if he was... he would be that Pony racking up huge score streaks. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Worr is playing WB still. He is "retired" from the Pigs at the moment, because there are no Pigs in WB anymore, aside from Worr. I think he joined up with one of the other WB squads for now. He'll always be a Pig tho. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

No More Worr? Oh well!
Does anybody rememebr the name of the guy who's father was a great aviationist/journalist. It's been so long, I forgot. I met him at Oshkosh 4 years ago, and he flew in on a B25, and let me take my friends up in it. Too notch guy! I think his handle was Ethel, or Ethle. Does anybody rememebr?

Hi dkid (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I remember you, but I was one of those punk VVS dudes in WB. I'd be cool if you stuck around (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
You know, I heard Worr is still a trainer in WB, but has actually left the Flying Pigs.

Hiya DKID,
ou812 here and yes I am also still with TSM, although my handle has been changed. Still remember that first b17 raid we made from F1 (believe we were red....ahh yes better red than dead). Oh those were the days.

"Little boy blue....cause he needed the money".....owwwww

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww SHEIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They let anyone in here! Whazzzzzzzzzup? Crazy? There are alot of old WB's addicts in here and more coming everyday as brandX gets more stagnant waiting for the mythical BrandX III to sprout wings and fly. Most of the old NJG10r dont even fly anymore except for me and Red. Had a few of the old guys in here in MOL but they drifted back to RL unlike us pocket protector dweeb types. I actually saw Herc in here dureing the Beta. You better practice your bellybutton off as this Sim seems to have collected the best pilots from all the surrounding Sims. The learning curve is even harder than the old BrandX. If your dead set against the Spit try flying the 109f for awhile. Oh the TA152 will be a perk plane. You will have to have enough perk points to fly it. Its the new Perk plane system thats coming with the late war planes. You have to earn the right to fly one. The dweebier airplane you fly and kill in, the more perk points you get so you can fly a badass late war airplane.
Oh heres a kicker! From the screenshots I've been seeing, HTC is going to bring "REAL NIGHT" to the arena. With all the perks of a real night war, like night fighter and the like (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Do I smell night fighter squads starting up again? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
LLB OUT!!!!!!!!!
-
LLB, you'll be able to fly the perk planes in the weekly historical events and match ups(Check six, etc).
-
Rip I've been to bzy with RL to get more than an hour or two once in a blue moon as far as flying time. Much less try to get ona schedule. I'm rideing in the local MS150 bycycle ride from Houston to Austin. Been training for that and haveing fun in the real world hehehee
LLB OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Holy Mackerel, There is llbm, ou812 and bongo too. Now I have seen it all. This is bringing back some old memories! It's good to see you all again. I tried installing AH on my windows 2000, havving some problems. Looks like I have some tweeking to do.
I don't think I'm going to rehash the old NJGR10, that was too much work. Not only that, it was tough takin goff when everyone was trying to hunt you down. The TA152 sounds very tempting, BOOM ------ZOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!! Just the way i like it. To many seizures in those turn and burners.
Thanks for the update Westy, it all came back to me now. That was a tragedy.
leonid, did the earthquake affect you at all? I hope your weren't in a furball when that happened.

Dang, this feels like 3 years ago on AGW, now that I see what your old handles are, lots of familiar ones from WB.
dkid, stick around, you wont regret it, I promise.
This is what WB would have been, if not ImolIen had taken over and ruined the game.
