I once brought you vehicle supps and you never said thanks. I've thought about this every day for the last 10 years.  :old:

LOL, look who the cat dragged in!

Hard to believe it's been that long. Used the skins you provided for my terrain only yesterday, right?  :rofl

I hope you've been well. Many players are migrating into VR and it's a game changer.

You probably don't remember, but I still remember the night you stood there and repeatedly killed my F6F repeatedly, over and over and...  :furious :rofl

It's good to see you around again.

Legends not are we. We are geriatric dweebs.

http://www.virtualpilots.fi/feature/articles/bookofdweeb/

"And NOW!" they shrieked. "FINALLY art we Vets! Scourges of the Sky are WE!" Yet again, from the smoldering blue wreckage came the icy cry, "Nay, foul ack-runner. Thou art but headon Dweebs." And thus was born the Headon Dweeb, the Dora Dweeb, and the Ack-running Dweebs. And as the pitiful Dweebs began their long quest through the Promised Land of Rolling TerrainTM, and were blinded by the Sun GlareTM in search of their Holy Hurricane and the Zerstorer, did the voice of HiTech rain down from on high and sweepeth them in a sandstorm of despair: "For all who play Aces High shalt always be Dweebish. Dweebs wert thou born. Dweebs thou art. Dweebs shalt thou be." And it was good.

What's new? Lots of new skins and models.

What's not new? The real core of the AH game. And yet I came back to it 10 years later because of the nostalgia of doing missions with great folks.

All these wonderful returning players. Glad to see it. Gotta ask ....

Did any of you quit because of being able to turn off engines or because another player ran from you in the arena?

Just a harmless survey.  :) :cheers:

No longer able to fly naked was the winner of the last poll.

What? They know the camera on their PC can be covered to keep Hitech from seeing anything, right?  :confused:

I'm sure many players have quit because of stale gameplay taking 10 minutes to get to a base then chasing players for another 5 in their uber speedsters. You can mock that all day long but it just proves you don't really understand the gameplay woahs when the majority resort to those planes just to compete and then get tired of it after a few months.

Are you one of the returning players that could answer said questions?  :)

Unfortunately Midway is a side switch scenario.

Every few months I tell myself I'm going to subscribe and have another go at it...  and somehow months turn to years.   I miss it very much, but I've got a feeling the game i remember is gone forever.  Or I'm just good at self deception for the purpose of procrastination...  either way, I never quite get around to it.  Maybe next month.  Maybe not.    :salute
