Title: Great Game
Post by: Vinkman on May 26, 2009, 12:00:02 PM
I just got my forum account approved and am posting my first notes. I wanted to say that this is a really fantastic game, with a tremendous amount of depth of features, and game realism. I have only been playing for about a month and a half or so, and I feel as thought I have just scratched the surface of this game's capability. My hats are off to the developers and those who contribute to making this game what it is, including those who play it. I have found the behavior, knowledge, and enthusiasm of the games many players to be a refreshing change from the 'kids' one encounters in the on-line gaming platforms of XBOX and Playstation.  :aok  I <salute> you all.

See you in the deadly skies.

Vinkman

Took more than 6-8 months to get most of the game nuances learned, and a year or more to develop reasonable skills in most aspects of the game.  Am still learning some new, little thing I didn't know from time to time, even after 4 years.

After you've got your addiction firmly established and mainlined the MA's for awhile, try one of the AcesHigh's many 'Designer Drugs' called 'Special Events', such as the Scenarios, FSO, KOTH, AHXRL, etc.  Find them all at "ahevents.org".  They put variety in your flying.

Enjoy the Unfriendly Skies.        It's going to be...  a bumpy ride!    Muuhhhaaaaahaaaaaaaaaa!    :D

Say goodbye to your formal life. It was bad for me when it was Air Warrior. Now, with AH there is no hope or chance I'll ever go back to my formal life..lol. Great game, great players, it just doesn't get any better than that.

Welcome Vinkman.  Seems you've quickly discovered the best part of Aces High, besides being the best game out there, you will find some of the greatest people you could ever hope to meet and get to know.  Good luck in your AH "career" and hope to see you in the virtual skies.

LOL! I haven't done that, but I've become quite accustomed to my TrackIR, enough so that I catch myself trying to turn my head to look around different directions while watching TV! Aargh!

And yes, welcome to the rest of your life, the part that matters the most!  :rock

Best WWII flight sim we've got. The viewing system alone trumps 90% of the other flight sims of any kind out there.

In my many years of participating in MMOG flight sims this is undoubtedly the best.

Some of us here in the Community are simmers, some are game players.  Have fun

either way.  If you wish to somewhat experience the realism of Air Combat in WWII

I would suggest trying out Scenarios (one is forthcoming Battle of the Coral Sea) and

FSO (Friday Squad Operations) which start at 11PM EDST.  Realistic plane sets and terrain

with realistic targets and goals not to mention Squadrons that were actually involved in that campaign.

The rest of the events are generally free for alls with no History required.

Whatever flips your trigger have fun.  There are many ways to participate.

AH is your oyster.....choose the way you enjoy the most and you can't lose!
