rusted lamp washed in by the tide. As you brush off the sand, there's a powerful flash of light. In a purple haze, a genie, who looks suspiciously like Dale Addink in a Belly Dancer costume greets you.

"I am the genie of Grapevine, Texas. For freeing me, I shall grant you one Aces High wish."

You reply..............

a customizable clipboard that includes:

plane set you want putting them in the order you want,
(ie. for me the 190-d9 would always be on the top)

a button on the map for preset zoom,
(no more slowly panning in and out on that giant pizza map)

a "move to" where you click it and text box comes up you enter the # and click move,
(this is easier to teach to newbies than to explain "dot" commands)

a bar graph showing country #'s / base #'s / and basic strat info with 1 click,
(maybe the first page of the "strat" button... then you could go into detail on a per base basis... come to think of it why not expand the clipboard to show this little bar chat below the map... a single click brings up the strat info for that base and that countries info))
((( yes i know roster shows part of this but it would be nice for all of it on 1 page)))


Thats about it for the clipboard... but any other ideas for it would be incorporated into this wish :D

Players limited to 6 spawns per hour in anything but guns.

If you can't get an average of 10 minutes per sortie, you are purposely suicide Jaboing or being a vulch-o-matic furball target.

impossible wish - stop all the whining!  (those who whine about how others fly, what they fly, who they fly for, where they fly, blah blah blah, my niki hurts type of whining.)  That's my real wish.

slightly less impossible wish - take all the planes we have now, and make sure all the variances (engines, armament, field mods) are selectable.  (e.g. full range of armament for the 190F8; L.F., F., and H.F. engines for the Spits, as well as clipped wingtips)

slightly more Doable wish.  flesh out the frickin' early war planesets!  Stuka, He111, Blenheim minimum for BoB and Oscar, Kate, Betty, Devastator and B-25 minimum for PTO.

doable wish - frickin' Stuka in the next release.

I'd say "WTF happened to my other 2 wishes?"

Once I finally convince the cheapskate genie to grant me all 3 wishes, they would be

Ambient lighting: ground should cast shadows as they do now, but the water should REFLECT light and be much lighter.

I always felt i am flying on a foggy day, I would like to see the default blue sky have high clouds ( in addition to the moving weather clouds)

Ground cover for GV's, I hate seeing a "black" dot on the ground miles away. BTW i have a great idea for ground cover that would work:)

Well, I was watchin' The History Channel a while back and saw that aussie bastage Steve Erwin (The Crocodile Hunter) doing a piece called "Ghosts of War".

He was re-visiting old WW2 battle sites, climbin' thru old bunkers, tanks, and divin off old wrecks to inspect thier cargos.

There he was picking up Japanese skulls and leg bones, 60 year old un-exploded mortar shells, helmets, etc. and all excited like too with lotsa "Crimey!" remarks thrown in.

He then spots an A6M wrecked in the jungle, just the cockpit, the wings where off, the engine and tail gone, and I remember wishing to myself, "Man I wish I had that cockpit to turn into a ACES HIGH simpit!"

'Course I made the mistake of uttering this wish aloud, which got me "THE" look from my wife.

Ya know "THE" look... we got enough junk around here as it is look.

Women! They just don't understand the value of good junk!

I wish that the game was as stable as it was a couple months ago.

How about a map smaller than Pizza, but bigger than the other smaller ones.

How about adding the frikkin corect weapons options to the 190s.  (maybe not the torp carrying ability though, 'cause that would screw gameplay)

That HTC would complete plane sets for scenarios and Snapshots instead of dribbling them in a bit at a time (think TBMs subbing for Kates, late war JU 88s for HE111s/Dorniers, no Russkie bombers, no Italian bombers, and the list goes on.....)
