We recently created a company Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClTbiZpm7CZRQtwl3FjNxsg), which is going to be very active.  If anyone has a Youtube channel of their own, feel free to add our channel to yours.

We have a Goggle+ (https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/118358208729757519096/+aceshigh/posts/p/pub) page which is linked to our Youtube page.

We have a Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/flyaceshigh?ref=hl) page which is also getting more attention from us.

We have a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/hitechcreations) as well.

We are working on many different aspects of marketing the game and service.  It is always an ongoing process which continually gets defined and redefined as the market forces change.

Skuzzy you guys have a niche game. You also have a pretty good player base in terms of professional experience. Just like maps and skins, strategy can be pooled and gleaned if offered.

What about a " dummy Beta "  . Announce a new version called 3.0 or whatever and run a 3 month Beta , Gamers love a Beta. Post it around on all the gaming forums , the gaming press , and email every player that ever played that a new version was coming (new graphics engine) and beta starts now.  Then just create a beta version account "free to play" .  If 10% of them stay after 3 months it's a win. Maybe Beta restricts the plane set or something so existing players don't try to wangle a beta account.

Seems to work pretty well for a lot of others out there

I was watching the British Freeview History Channel, "Yesterday" and in 3 hours I saw 3 adverts for World of Warplanes.

Where is our AcesHigh Advert?

Since most of us are History buffs, and know other History buffs, a recruitment incentive could increase our numbers. We are the games best advertisers.

Tried that for years, without any succes.

A huge part of the ppl I know/kew who could have been interested don't play on a PC (anymore). Cell phone, Ipad, tablets, consoles...
None of the rest had a joystick. 20 years ago about every game had one. "Flight simming"? Too difficult, too much to learn.
And the very few that bothered to take a look.. sorry to say that, but they laughed at the looks of game & website. Justified or not, it is what it is...

In all seriousness though.

Perhaps some work with the keywords is in order though. For example. Do a google search for "flight Simulators", "Flight Simulator games", "flight simulators for PC"

You will see nothing on those first pages that says Aces High
