garbage... if u say so m8, if it wasnt for airattack there wouldnt have been any fighter ace... nor aces high...
and lets be honest air attack is a much more fun game than aces high... quicker, faster simpler... :rolleyes:

And just how does airattack fit in with the lineage of AH?
F.

well it was the first huge online ww2 flight sim if im correct? and created a spwan of loads of other huge ww2 flight sim's
just my opinion but if aa wasnt created we may not have as many ww2 flight sims... :rolleyes:

I really hope your kidding.
The first massively multiplayer online WWII flight sim ( or any other era) was Air Warrior, by Kesmai.
After that came Warbirds, written by ICI, of which the current developers of AH were part of.
THEN came Fighter Ace much much much later.

well, for a game thats free, its the best free game i got ;)
-
I agree with Del.
+ it isn't fair to compare AH with FA (Air Attack)
The two games aim to do two different things.
AH is a Sim, AA is an arcade representation of the same planes.
and as far as the graphics are concerned i don't remember PacMan having world beating graphics, nor asteroids etc..
Playability, Adictiveness and the community make Air Attack the great game it is.
-
That's nice :)
-
and a pilot called dale is just another reason to join
you just LURVE to HATE him

<cough> BS <cough>
AW begat WB (in a roundabout way) which begat AH.
I heard Air Attack was where the I'm-no-good-at-quake-OR-real-sims-dropouts go.

would it hurt to try it out?
free game, if u dont like it, delete it..
-
you'll find theres a great many of us playing AH, of which a lot of us have played it for a long while.
so don't make assumptions like that.

So is just about every arcade game down at the local amusement arcade but we don't go there to play a flight SIMULATOR.
Why is this thread here? Is Lucage trying to lure us away to a free arcade game? Please note that this board is for the general discussion of ACES HIGH...
Wardog is right... you get what you pay for. Pay nothing, get nothing.
-
Im not try to lure you away, Its not hard to play 2 different games you know.
-
u can always send me a cheque for £35 and then download it ?
:D
-
no-one has asked you to stop playing AH, the chances of luring sim fans away to an arcade game is not only unrealistic, but laughable.
Pay nothing, get nothing? err. no, you get a free game that you may like or you may not.
very interesting to note the hostile attitudes towards a free game that doesn't even attempt to compete with AH.
-
Can I just say. you guys have no lives...
If you want to play flight SIMULATORS i.e. with realistic controls etc, go get flying lessons. But don't knock people for playing a game which imho has better people, better spirit and alot better playability. wtf wants to piss around with their joystick for half an hour just to stay level? when you can be ENJOYING yourself and getting stuck in.
At the end of the day *NONE* of our lot have come on here saying Aces High is crap etc. lucage simply gave a link to those who *MAY* want to try it out, and instead he got grief and abuse towards AA.
Try getting some manners, maybe learn them in school?
Regards,
Steve

i called the AA mob ;)

/me retires back to the Mess, for more sausages and beer.

Kenny ya gimp stop causing trouble!!
Swoop is 8 feet tall, he surgically removed his arms and had them replaced with chainsaws and his favourite hobby is strangling ferrets. :D
Dont mess with him!!!
hes not bad at AH but I'll kick his bellybutton once we get ADSL installed!
Hurrah!
Air Attack WAS good, but with Gameplay gone I lost interest. German AA doesn't have he banter. Any of the old faces still about? :)
-
You'd never guess but that was Thanatos.

Everyone is still there m8.

Why? Because we don't want to play arcade games?
If you want to play flight SIMULATORS i.e. with realistic controls etc, go get flying lessons.
That wouldn't be playing a simulator, would it? :rolleyes: You'd be surprised how many people that play AH also fly IRL. We play a flight simulator because it is a good approximation of the real thing.
But don't knock people for playing a game which imho has better people, better spirit and alot better playability. wtf wants to piss around with their joystick for half an hour just to stay level? when you can be ENJOYING yourself and getting stuck in.
You are entitled to your opinion but have you actually played AH? The challenge of being able to fly and fight in AH is part of the fun. If we wanted to just get "stuck in" we'd play an arcade game.
As regards the better people crack, do you know anyone in here? Do you know how we get along with others?
At the end of the day *NONE* of our lot have come on here saying Aces High is crap etc.
Wrong, you even took a shot at it yourself:
Lucage "...a game free of gimps"
Kenny "and lets be honest air attack is a much more fun game than aces high... quicker, faster simpler..."
Cooger "Can I just say. you guys have no lives... playing a game which imho has better people, better spirit and alot better playability. wtf wants to piss around with their joystick for half an hour just to stay level? when you can be ENJOYING yourself..."
lucage simply gave a link to those who *MAY* want to try it out, and instead he got grief and abuse towards AA.
Lucage got grief because he wasn't polite enough to respect the purpose of this BBS. This forum is called "Aces High General Discussion" for a reason. It is here for the purpose of discussing things related to Aces High.
Try getting some manners, maybe learn them in school?
Did your school teach you to say things like that to people? :rolleyes: How do you get from telling people they have no lives to commenting on manners. Sheesh.
Bottom line is this: I don't mind people offering me the chance to try something new out. I do mind when those same people choose to do it by saying what I am doing to enjoy myself is boring or sub-standard. Leave me my opinion and I'll leave you yours.
Please respect the guidelines for the use of this BBS and all will be happy.

yah right.. so leave us!!!
oh.. right.. im on AA's side :o
-
BlueMako ... When people from your community start slagging a game we play I think it's fair to say we have the right? to say things back. We are simply defending a game we like. yes ok it was wrong for Lucage to come here and type a link on the AH message Board, but is it so right for him to get abuse back ?
No , So in future before telling us we should use these boards properly maybe take abit of control over your flying buddies.
Abit of common curtacy wouldn't go a miss between people.
-
Oh and btw please stop being so condiscending. *shrecking pishes me off*
-
Anyway I'm off to bed. Far too tired to be fighting about who plays a better flight sim..
That actually sounds quite childish
Night Night!
-
Just one minor point Blue Mako.......the game free of gimps crack was a joke regarding Kenny.......who's known as Kenny the Gimp in AA.......or so Thanatos tells me.
:D

Oops, okay I retract Lucages inclusion in above post...
-
Sad, but true. ;)
*Is really going now*
-
Okay, maybe I got distracted from what Lucage was trying to do. Let me try again:
Lucage, thank you for posting the link to Air Attack. At this stage I do not have any intention of playing the game. I have checked out the web site and I have decided it is not for me.
Please take the time to play AH if you have not already done so. There is a free two week trial period that you can use to check out the online arenas. Though I do recommend that you try playing offline and on H2H before using your trial period to get used to the aircraft modelling which will be rather different to AA.
On a last note, please respect that we have a community here also. You will find most of us to be helpful and friendly. Please note that we ("I" if you like, I don't speak for everyone) would also like you to observe the guidelines as to BBS posting, this will help you to see our helpful side. :)
P.S. Cooger: I have no control over what the other people on this board post. I can, however, point out what I think are reasonable requests regarding the BBS use. Also, if you find that someone answering your posts with a point by point rebuttal condescending, I suggest that you learn to debate a bit better.
And you are right, a bit of common courtesy goes a long way. Please remember to show the same to us if you expect it in return.

go play german warbirds :p

this whole thread has got to be some kind of joke or something.
LMAO...Air Attack...LMAO
first ppl from AW, and now this. these ppl dont even want to play AH they just wanna cause some trouble. im curious...were they hired to come over here and do this or are they just "proned" to do retarded stuff like this?

For the guys at AA how think it was the 1st online sim.. But dont really seem to have a clue.
The evolution of the online flight sim.
AW-DOS 1986/1995: started as CGA FE then SVGA FE. This has arenas setup in the UK, OZ and Spain. I flew in the UK & OZ arenas as well as the US arena (1989 to 1994) then moved to Warbirds.
Warbirds 1994/95: The guys flying AW-DOS though about putting an improved online sim out. Confirmed Kill/Warbirds. I flew Warbirds for 5 years. Another break out happened and the guys at ICI started on there own sim.
Aces High 1999: Look where AW-DOS has brought us :)
I was one of the many beta testers for Fighter Ace. Comical and Arcadish i gave up on the beta when i found out it was going nowhere.
We have come a long way in the online flight sim area, and i can tell you firmly that Fighter Ace had nothing to do with it!
Dog out............

This thread is officially declared a Hand Bags at 10 paces area.

Arlo and Rotor would do well to grab a notebook and take lessons from these guys.

german warbirds (2.01) doesn“t exist anymore - at least not at the moment. But we had also nice "contact" with the german Air Attack Crowd (AA runs an a server from Bertelsmann somewhere) when people began to do "advertising" in the other forum for the own sim... That was really entertaining 2 years ago :)

It was rather chilish of you to tar us all with the same brush "retarded" i beg of you kindly not to insinuate such things. for one it is rude and highly condescending to those who do have specific learning difficulties.
and Two, i find it offensive in this instance.
We have not caused any trouble, and the only post i see anyone having real problems with is Kennys' which only denoted his own lack of information on the evolution of Online Flight sims, rather than the Entire AA communities.
i will itterate this point again for those of you who seem to think we have never played AH, or feel we are here to mock you.
"many of us do and have played AH, AH is itself a completely different style of game, we aren't here trying to extract the urine, or have a laugh at your expense."

Ok I agree with Westy, pull the hook outta my mouth.
I smell TopGUNz !! (ie bait)

Naaah. Unfortunately these guys were seriously trying to recruit... Check in the other forums...

thanks for the link. My son loved FA 1.0 and appreciates the info. AH was to much for him but FA 1.0 is right up his alley.
thanks again
-
AA is gr8 for people who don't want to spend money on computer games - like me.
Its got a great community and as for the crap graphics, well, U don't notice them because the gameplay can be so intense.
Then of course, there is the fact that I've traveled across the country to meet squad-m8ts and we've all got drunk together.
AA is great fun :D

Glad to be of service Eagler.
