http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aces_High_%28video_game%29
It's in a sorry state for a game that's been around like this!
Usually if you want to point people to something, you throw em a wikipedia link (people are more familiar with reading wikipedia)
Anyone know what's up with it? Looks like it was bigger at some stage.
Warbirds and Fighter Ace may not have the most expansive pages but they're also levels beneath AH.
-
That is pretty short...
-
Needs to be updated and improved. Wiki is a form of free, easy, and effective advertisement.
-
It's years out of date. Those "100-200" are now "up to 500" in the FSOs.
-
Can we get one of our "wiki" guru's to give that page a makeover?
-
I don't know, but it looks like they insist that any posting be backed up with third party publications.
I guess someone will need to write a book about AH before they'd accept anything favorable. :rofl
I thought about making a single reference note, something to the effect; "Verifiable upon installation and inspection of the game." Then you could make statements about the planeset, view system, stick mapping etc. without making any claims that require someone to publish a book. Of course, some arcade fanboy would probably go in and delete it anyway. :rolleyes:

Wouldn't links to AH web pages suffice?

Not according to the notice they've posted on the page.

The third party thing is perfectly logical, and I completely agree with it. It wouldn't be a problem if there were some 3rd party sources about Aces High, but since there aren't, the article's unlikely to improve until there are, or someone digs an ancient one up.
-
www.netaces.org?
-
Working on the page right now, I think I've found some sources. :D
...
It's beginning to come together now.
...
B***** h*** that thing's confusing!
Could someone please check to see that the info on this page is still correct, and update it if it isn't?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiTech_Creations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiTech_Creations)
-
Man, I just wasted far too much time. :lol
Anyway, article has been updated, with sources.
And now...back to work.. :bolt:
-
Should probably remove combat tour from the page as well.
-
I have it there because it's part of the history of the game, and it leads in to a small bit about the Mission Editor too.
-
Nicely done Yosi! Interesting to look at to view the game in a historical fashion. Kudos to HTC as well.

:huh :headscratch:
I'm not seeing anything new added.... It's just a single paragraph at the top and the HTC employee list below that. Then it's got 3 external links.
Did they reverse your new additions?

Are we talking about the same page? The one I worked on was this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aces_High_%28video_game%29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aces_High_%28video_game%29)

I was looking at this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiTech_Creations
I just looked at the link you gave, and it also looks like a 1-paragraph blurb on gameplay. History of April 24 shows what I assume was your work, then some dingus went and restored the previous version just today.
-
why not just have the regular wiki have a link to the Aces high wiki, that is self hosted.....???

I haven't updated that one at all.

Nope, that wasn't me - my stuff is still there. I think it's all ok, since I provided proper sources etc.

I'm 99% sure that wouldn't qualify as a reliable 3rd party source, especially since it's hosted by HTC.

I dunno what's going on with wiki... When I went there just now it had none of that. It had a small blurb. Going to the history tab let me see the other stuff. Now that you say nothing is missing I go back and without going to the history tab I see all the missing stuff again!
The first time I wnt (when it was missing) I refreshed it several times just to be sure!!!
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K. :noid

Perhaps signing up for an account would help, it gives you access to the 'Beta' version of Wikipedia which seems to be perfect as far as I can tell (maybe you can access it w/o signing up, not sure).
