Currently the Furball Poll (http://furball.dogfighter.com) asks the question, 'Who will be on top in 2001?'.
Havn't got many Aces High votes which made me wonder until I realized I'd forgotten to post here about it. Sorry. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Tell you what, you find an extra $30 bucks a month in your budget to pay for my flying time, and I'm THERE! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Oh, btw, you may notice that all the sims listed are WWII era prop sims. DoA is therefore not listed. After all, I wanted to give the rest of these sims a chance of winning. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

How do you vote for the poll? I keep clicking on the furball poll link, and it just refreshes the page. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)

check and make sure you dont have another window open. the UBB opens other sites in new windows so if you have another window open in the background, it may be there.

Making sure that another window is not open does not work. We still can't get to the poll. Any suggestions???

Heee he he. I liken it to the Mustang Car Club of America taking a poll on favorite cars... but publicly announcing the poll a just a wee bit after the Club members have had thier votes tallied first (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

LOL, except that the first people I told where the guys at the B-17 II UBB and the one in the lead at the outset was WWIIOL. Hehe.
Mouthpiece is a strong word. I'm a fan site devoted mostly to Warbirds and Dawn of Aces. As such my scope is limited and my relationship with iEN cordial. iEN friendly? Sure. Mouthpiece? No. Not even close.

You should really go by and see the site before you say stuff like that. LOL
Warbirds is running in 4th place at the moment, beat out, in part, by Aces High.

Target. We all vote with our money. You,ll just have to wait to see how it turns out.
The winner in all of this IMO will be the first co. that recognizes that there are two markets out here. And installs 2 lagitimet arenas. You have the old burnouts, that need more and more strat to feed there addiction. And the very nessesary newbie,s. That just want to get into a fight as quick as posibile and have some fun. some of us old timers feel that way too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
WB has its ACA but the FM is a ripoff. AH has the training arena, But it is what it is, a training arena.

I think I'm more likely to be interested in a sim based on it's immersiveness, than in gameplay. Even if the flight model isn't historically accurate, the more I 'feel' like I'm there, the more I'll enjoy it. I'm just a visual person I guess. Eye candy really WORKS on me.

Before I get even more confused, are you saying you can't get to furball at all????
I can, it IS up.
http://furball.dogfighter.com (http://furball.dogfighter.com)
or www.furball.dogfighter.com (http://www.furball.dogfighter.com)
Either way.
Once you get there, the poll is on the right side of the page. Click on your best guess for the front runner in 2001 and hit submit. It should refresh with the current results.
I know someone from Aces High is voting, hehe, cuz you're comin' up in the poll.

I have, and the 'The UN-official Dawn of Aces/Warbirds site' kinda gives it away as does the abundance of Warbirds and DoA links on the side as well as the predominatley Warbirds orientated news, don't get me wrong its a nice site but hardly impartial.

Works from my end. Unless someone's already gotten on your puter and voted, there should be a list of flight sims with a submit button at the bottom, under Furball Poll in the far right column.
BTW, IP #'s are logged. Multiple votes from the same IP # are not allowed. If the same IP comes back it should just be the updated results, with no voting option.
Does the Aces High internet server have stable IP #'s assigned, rather than randomly assigned? Might be the problem.

Maybe the owners of the page blocked the "hitechcreations.com" domain! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Works for me from every domain I tried (6 of them) on 6 different providers.

It's a damned good question.
I mean on top this way. Who will provide the most immersive experience while at the same time allowing for ease of gameplay and entertaining pace.
Course, other's may define it differently. Depends on the person don't it. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Don't want to rain on anybodies parade but this is the ONLY place where my message re: the poll keeps getting punted.
Might explain the heavy activity on the AH side of the house. Not sure yet, havn't checked my stats today so don't know how many coming from where.
However, I can say that from the emails I've gotten and the messages in this forum, Aces High gets high votes for having the most commited fans. (Or at least, fans who ought to be commited. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) )

Thanks for the info, but I allready had a two week free trial before this latest version came out. Damn the luck! Anyway, I did enjoy it and would have liked to play more but like I said, anybody who's got 30 smackers a month they don't know what to do with is totally encouraged to let me know. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Maybe if I can swing a new job we can talk, till then I'm happy shelling out my $10 for my 5 hours in WB and unlimited wood and canvas flying time.
