So you consider the account you're not currently using to be Inactive, since you stressed repeatedly that you have only one ACTIVE account? You didn't say "I have only ONE account," instead you said "I have only one ACTIVE account." Said it three times infact in two sentences. Someone's trying to split hairs  :D

 :rolleyes:  I only have one account.  I have never paid more than $14.95 per month during any month of my almost two years in Aces High.  Clear now?  ...or any other similar words/figures concerning you? :headscratch:

Oh, if you're wonderring if HTC gives me free 2nd or 3rd accounts... the answer is obviously no.  Nor do I know anyone else on Aces High so I can not possibly use someone else's account either. :rolleyes:

Hopefully that is as airtight as I can say it.  -------> I use and pay for only one account <--------

I used the word "active" because for one or two months I cancelled my subscription due to a material health issue I had to work through, which when resolved, allowed me to sign back up again.  That was early last year.


You good now? :)


PS: I have no problem with HiTech verifying that I have never paid more than $14.95 per tour since my start date in Aug 2010 with in-game name viamy, which then changed to vMidway, then to Midway, etc... etc.... :aok

btw, If HTC thought I was using multiple accounts to cheat in some way... I doubt I'd be here right now. :)

PSS: It's ridiculous people like Fester can make false multiple account cheating accusations about me publicly on 200 and BBS just because I ended his "kill streak" a couple of times.  And even worse for him to say he has proof and sent it to HTC when there is none --all just to dent my good name with said false accusations. :frown:

Still waiting on an apology from Fester, if he can man-up, that is. :frown:

"The Book of Jedisis

Verse One
In the beginning, there was Air Warrior, and it was good, And many partook thereof, and became Dweebs, and were smiteth repeatedly from on high by the Gods, and were vulcheth by other Dweebs, and were feared by the C-lander Runstangs. But after a time, the Dweebs learned to take flight from the uncapped field, and to ignoreth the false books of wisdom which sayeth "Thou shouldst fly the P-38, thou newbies," for all who have tried knoweth that the Air Warrior Godsteed named Lightning is not the province of the mere Dweeb. So the Dweebs learned the mythic Spitfire, and went round and round, and thus was born Loop Warrior, andthere was much killing and rejoicing, for the Dweebs believed that now they were not Dweebish any longer, but were now Vets. But yet the voice of DoK was heard from on high...and it sayeth, "Nay, Dweebs art thou still." And thus was the Dweebfire born."

Verse 8: Doctrine and Dogma
And thus it came to pass that all manner of Veterans and
Demi-Ghods and Dweebs arose into the Air Warrior firmament.
These were disputatious and contentious folk. The Doctrine of
MoNanas contended with the Dogma of Deathstars. The Veteran
fed on the Dweeb and the Demi-Ghod fed on all. This begat the
Holy Principle of HATE.

And it was good.

Midway for all his faults does not appear to follow the masses and yet allows though with a pack instinct to show their true colors.

It must be noted with some pride that those from the UK still have a sense of self reserve and ability not to attack the under dog.

Because we used to BE the underdog (before we whipped the arse of those oppressing us, that is)

Don't kid yourself.  The aggression of most yanks lies just far enough under the surface that it is not readily seen.

It was the birthing grounds of those who feed the Gerbils at HTC and tell us tales of items we will receive in two weeks.
Superior really can't be used to describe it in comparson one way or the other. They are of different times and AH would be nothing without AW, but AW was going away, and AH stepped in to fill the void. (that is a very generalized version of said story)

It's almost a parent and child story. Many who grew up in AW are here now that is has passed on.

Air Warrior was killed off simply because EA bought the company that owned Air Warrior, and did not want to be bothered with it. They bought the company in order to acquire other parts of it.

Hitech began in Air Warrior, and was in fact inspired by it. Air Warrior is the parent to the MMO air combat flight sim.

You might be able to find some downloads of AW2 and AW3, though I think they need Windows 98 to run.  I'm not sure if you can find AW4W (Air Warrior For Windows) that easily.  Air Warrior For DOS might be even tougher to find, though some of the old folks here might have a copy.

BigR has AW running on an old PC.

I should still have many versions of AW on the CDs, and a ton of old films, so if you can't find one, and want to try to get it running, I'll upload a copy somewhere.

It wasn't superior to what we have in AH2, as programming and technology have improved drastically, but it was quite awesome, and really opened the doors for what HTC created.

Apples and oranges. AW had a different feel. There was no war to win. It had "relaxed" realism arenas (think of stall limiter ramped up) and "full" realism. The 1st time I flew "full" felt like the first time I rode a bike without training wheels. There was a Macintosh AND Windows version of the game in the mid-stages. A busy weekend evening in "Mac" involved maybe 40. There were plenty of furballs but the horde as you know it now, didn't really exist. The AW server/front end was programmed to dismiss the far majority of head-on shots.

In the end, EA raped ad destroyed the game Kesmai developed. Too bad, there was a lot of cutting edge tech...if you were around in the mid/late 90's to appreciate it. Some of the original Kesmai team (Blue Baron, Grey Eagle) used to attend AW Cons back in the day. Wonder whatever happened to -moggy?

It was the first 3D graphical MMO, went live in the late '80s.  Great game that unfortunately died when the developers no longer cared about it and eventually sold it off to EA for it to wither on the vine and die.  The AW community was leaps and bounds better than our current AH community.

Air Warrior was killed off simply because EA bought the company that owned Air Warrior, and did not want to be bothered with it. They bought the company in order to acquire other parts of it.

Hitech began in Air Warrior, and was in fact inspired by it. Air Warrior is the parent to the MMO air combat flight sim.
Thought HT came from Warbirds?

Hitech flew AW and did a bit of coding...think he wrote the film viewer. He and Pyro produced Warbirds.

I also seem to recall an texture editor he wrote called V-Tech or something that allowed you to change the cockpit graphics around.

It's odd to swat an annoying insect?

No...what's odd is to have to keep swatting the same one...it never dies.

Air warrior never played it... if it was that good it would be still here.

AW was very advanced for it's time.  They pioneered this genre then EA killed it for reasons unknown soon after buying it.

Had development continued and the player base been retained I'd guess we'd all be playing AW now and none of the similar games, including this one, that came after would have ever gotten off the ground.

You really shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about.

That sounds very familiar.... that was in the early 90's I think

was flying AH in Nov.99 during beta..... then went nearly full time, starting in 2001....
but still played AW up til Dec.2001            

edit: to add   Kesmai.com is one of the first ever web domains ( the first 30 that is ) and is the ForeFather of all online air combat MMO type games like we have today......  
and yes both hitech and pyro played and/or worked at/for Kesmai ( on the Air Warrior game ), before venturing off and building a completely new competing ww2 air combat sim  War Birds, before selling out and downsizing to build Aces High..............and the story just grows  and grows after that........ MS combatfighter, IL2, targetware, FA, etc....all started popping up .....   Air Warrior lasted nearly 14 years ...... and Aces High has lasted nearly the same....... guess we can check back in another decade to see how far AH has gone hopefully  ;)
