I come from playing a lot of warbirds but i believe that i have found my new #1 sim. The only problem is its terribly weak offline mode. Even v2.5 of WB was better than this. The props dont even move and they are all mustangs. I believe that the gear stays down also. Now this is still a good game but its offline doesnt even come near WB, is there any thought being put into an offline revamp for another version? Just curious.

It took WB about 5 years to get a decent offline mode. AH is now 1 year old.
This is an online sim and I like HTC spending the time working on the online gameplay and not the offline drones.
But I see what you mean, I'd like a good offline mode too, eventually. But not yet.
Best regards,

wulf_pilot, keep in mind that the drones are the first attempt to put them in. HTC said that they won't do anything for a while so get off their back. Sheesh.

And the same person coded WBs up to 18 months ago - so in 4.5 years AH still hasn't gota decent offline mode. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I guess that IEN concentrated their work into offline mode, instead of online one (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I was just curious, i didnt mean to start an war. ITs just that it's hard to play a game for years and then switch to a new one with no problems

You're right, Wulfe. The offline mode isn't that great (yet). I don't want to speak for HTC, but I think its safe to say that they have placed other things ahead of further developing offline play for the foreseeable future. Most notably, they are developing naval ships for the next version.

Good question Wulf. I spent about 2 months playing offline before going online and the practice sure helped (though they didn't have drones back then).
I would imagine that the introduction of a better offline play would have two effects:-
1 Increased ACM within the MA. I'm sure everyone would benefit to practice like the WB offline. I sure do anyway.
2 Some people may not wish to go online, but I would imagine that would be very few.
So yeah, I would love to see a better offline mode, especially with vehicles, but I know HTC are busy so I can wait a bit more! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Bring on the Navy!!

Hey wulf, the H2H version of Aces High is 8 player, and there is usually a game going, or start one, people will show, you'll have smart targets to shoot at.
