Title: Old AH Version
Post by: ink on April 17, 2015, 05:10:24 PM
My son really wants to get into flying in AH

I used to have an old version that allowed LAN play...

cant remember what version...but I know one of you old timer AH guys have it

question is...how can I get it?

I vaguely recall LAN play but that was many years ago. You might want to give Skuzzy a shout come Monday to see if that's doable.

Why not set him up for the 2 week trial and work with him in a custom arena?

I believe its somewhere within either the S.M.E or S.M. forums. Bbosen should have a link to where you can find it.

The one I sent you is supposed to support lan. That's why I saved it though I've never installed it so I can't confirm.  I hope it is the correct one for you.  If not let me know.

we haven't actually flown in LAN yet but AH is all set up... his Cyborg X is mapped...I can choose to host a LAN game, so I have no doubt that it will work, the version Phoenix posted is the same...

Dang INK you sound human. Don't worry, even my piggies make me act like one of the guys from time to time. It's good seeing you excited about something in the game besides how big yours is versus someone else's. I bet you are fun to buy a beer for on Saturday nights....... :lol

Glad to hear your son is bonding with you Sir.  :salute

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Ink! I wrote that mission specifically for use with my grandsons, and it's very satisfying knowing that you are able to use it in a similar fashion. All four of my grandsons have become quite good at Aces High, and will soon be pestering their dads for subscriptions, I hope.... 

Most of my missions are historically based, but all of the ones with "Mix" in the name (PacMix, EuroMix, DesertMix, RabaulMix, etc.) are not. Those are designed with training in mind, allowing choice of a wide variety of (non-historic) plane choices on both sides.
