I did Beta another flight sim for Hitech back in 95, I am wondering how things are here and what is the pilot count these days?

I left in 08. Started in beta.

Im back going on two tours.  Pretty much win the war  centric but fun fights can be found. Knocking off the rust is a long process lol...

I'm having fun. Well worth the time.

Hello Guns,

Was that old sim 'Confirmed Kill'?  I think I recognize your handle, though I may have it confused with GUNJAM.

Things are good here - the game is stable and has very good VR support.  100s of planes and vehicles to fly, 3-country War, special events throughout the week and a few scenarios a year.  Friday Squad Ops draw the most players of the special events.

Numbers-wise, AH builds from 30-40 in the AM hours throughout the day and generally peaks between 8-9 pm CST at 100+ to 150 players.   Fridays have that plus another 100 or so FSO participants.   14 different terrains to fight over, 100s of planes and vehicles to fly or fight in, each with a maximum of 64 different skins.     You can dogfight, move mud, level bomb, have armor battles, deliver supplies, or even take command and man the big 16" guns of a battleship.

Come back and give it a try!

Much lower than in the past.
