Aces High General Discussion / Re: Is Aces High Worth Buying?

I imagine with AI the ability to create art and games just with simple requests is going to become very easy.  One person that knows how to get the most out of AI could do alot of work towards upgrading the game, or creating a new one altogether.  The requirement to know how to code is beginning to go away, just knowing what you want AI to code will get you very far.

Right click the AH icon and select "properties". When that window opens the highlighted address should have the "aceshigh11.exe" at the end. If it says "aceshigh9.exe" that is the problem. Just change the 9 to an 11 and try it again.

i work in software development. 100k per year will get you very little in terms of coding ability those days. Wages got crazy in last 2 decades. Programmer from 1990s and programmer of 2025 are two very different beasts.
Then comes everything else, art - at far more detailed level then what it was back in the days, complexity, supporting various versions/drivers etc.
What happened in 1990s in flight sims is unlikely to happen again. You would need a kickstarter for million or more to get a semi functioning game with 20% of AH functionalities and up to date graphics, and you'd also alienate 50% of current customer base due to hardware requirements.

Ain't happening folks.

Ahh…..let’s remove more strategy and tactics from the sim.

This idea will surely be gamed.

Before I accuse you of being one of the guys that uses "strategy and tactics" to mean "exploiting game mechanics to avoid combat in a combat game", I'll ask you this: How exactly would having country specific dar bars be exploitable? And would that really be worse than players switching to the wrong side because they don't have complete info about which side needs players?

It should still work as long as you have the hardware to push it.

For the game, start "meta quest link" software and headset.

select quest link and make sure it is connected

Then remove headset start the DX11 version of the game (default version) and click the popup asking if you want to use the VR headset

Put the headset and the game should load.

ow all this depends on if your computer is strong enough to run it, your cables are, the DK2 works with the quest link software and so on.

Good luck!

I don’t recall seeing a pop up asking if I want to use VR. Is that a different exe start file? Can you show me exe used or a screen grab of it please?

Sometimes, a pilot has bingo ammo but has to stay engaged in the interest of surviving but is too busy to ask for help on text because he has no mic.
