Aces High General Discussion / Re: New Arena Radar settings

Great news Jimmy! Any and all tweaks are much appreciated. Thanks Hitech 

Perhaps a quick post from the head honcho now & again would give hope that the game is NOT stagnating into oblivion.

Think it should be 150-200ft to have any real effect on the MA. Nice to know that SOME adjustments are being made. And does that 100ft apply if your in icon range of another aircraft or tank or does magic AWACS cancel it out?

I asked to increase it to the 200 ft. level, but Hitech was not agreeable to that number. I am hopeful we may be able to raise it again in the not to distant future. It will depend, I believe, on how the results are. As to the "AWACS" issue, I do not know. That is something we can test.

I have noticed Hitech is spending more time on Game work. What that means long term, we'll have to wait and see. I am aware that there are others making efforts in support of the long term viability of the game, beyond Kong and myself.

I think the F-104 is such a cool plane.

I have a fondness for the jets that were very inexpensive to make and maintain (relatively speaking) yet still highly successful in their roles at the time, like the F-104 Starfighter and the A-4 Skyhawk.

You guys remember the beta version before it was called "Aces High" back when HiTech was first working on it?

What was it called back then?

Or am I misremembering?

The O' Club / Re: On Line Dating

« Last post by Brooke on Yesterday at 03:12:08 PM »

I have several friends and relatives who met spouses through on-line dating and are happily married or long-term dating and happy.

Some are younger.  Some are older.  They also would tell me how this or that on-line service specializes more in this or that aspect, what things they had to watch out for, etc.

Seems generally like on-line services are good way to meet people as long as folks understand that not every person you meet on-line will end up being a good match.  It seems to take meeting a handful of people before finding a good match.

Scenario General / Re: Operation Pedestal

« Last post by Brooke on Yesterday at 02:59:40 PM »

I love early-war stuff.  I'll fly about anything, including B5N torpedo bombers (which I love doing, by the way).

Unfortunately, the player base preference is such that we don't feel that we can fill early-war scenarios.  Other than perhaps Battle of Britain.

Also, scenarios these days, we can count on about 60 players, of which about 12 will fly attack or bombers.  And have to design to fit that.

I was referring to ads paying for the game instead of subscription. Which is what I thought was proposed. You need a bigger base before advertisers are going to kick in.

1993 AW Con Pic
I wasn't there, and I have NO clue how I got this, but I though some may like.
(Image removed from quote.)

Holy hell! I was 15 at the time, and suckered my old man into driving me down for the convention. Saw a bunch of old dudes and was like "hell nah" and we drove back to GA LOL

Wasnt there a P51 cockpit in the main room?
