Ok boys and girls you asked for it...
In responce to the clamour for more historical based, scenario type events, a group of players have banded togther to form Jokers Low.
Jokers Low is a player run group, from all 3 countries, and many different squadrons, dedicated to producing special events for the Aces High Community. This group includes many of the people involved in producing the player run events to date, including CavemanJ, Rojo, Saintaw, and several others.
Here is the link to our website, but please realize that it is still under construction and will be updated frequently in the near future. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Here are a few of our Events that are already Scheduled or are Coming Soon.
Mighty 8th Versus the Luftwaffe (Part 2)This historical event, is an epic battle between the bombers and escorts of the US 8th Army Air Force and the interceptors of the German Luftwaffe. It will recreate the fateful daylight bombing campaigns of late 1944. It will feature multiple industrial targets, Medium & Heavy Bombers (B26's & B17's), and the fighters of both sides (P-51's, P-38's, Fw190's, Bf109G10's) operating under realistic conditions.
This event is scheduled for Sunday April 2nd, at 3:00PM EST. Registration for this event is highly recommended, and preference will be given to registered players. Walk on Pilots are welcome, but will be used to fill out the planeset ratio's and to even sides.
For those who missed the first installment of this campaign, it was the largest organized event in Aces High to date. You certainly won't want to miss this one.
Death Race 2000This event is a non-historical "for fun" event, designed to test the skills of the participating pilots in transports, bombers, and fighters. Each team will consist of two pilots who race in a "anything goes" race to the finish !!!!
It is the year 2000, twenty-one years after "The World Crash of '79", and the biggest bread-and-circus sporting event for the masses is the Transcontinental Road Race, where racers and their navigators jump into heavily-customized cars and charge from New York Memorial Stadium to New L.A., leaving death and mayhem behind them But just as the Romans learned before them, the Government Soon finds that the poverty stricken masses demand more carnage, more mayhem, and more excitement to quell their unrest. The search goes on for ways to "spice up" the Transcontinental Race, until one producer with a historical bent, remembers the "Reno Air Races" where for a few short years after World War II , brave pilots raced surplus military aircraft for personal glory. In a moment of insight, the two concepts are combined into an Event unlike any other. Death Race 2000 in the Sky !This event date is yet to be announced, please watch our Website for more information.
Taming the Desert FoxAmong the shifting Sands of North Africa, the Wermacht's best General, Erwin Rommel the infamous "Desert Fox", has begun yet another of his blitzkrieg attacks into the British rear echelons. Supplies are critical, and the loss of a single supply depot can mean the difference in holding onto the Suez Canal.This historical event will feature British pilots flying Spitfire Mk V's and Medium bombers, against the Luftwaffe & Italian Air Forces flying Bf109F4's, Mc.202's, and Medium Bombers. Custom Terrains and Armor Units may be included if the state of the game and sufficent player registration allows it.
This event date is yet to be announced, please watch our Website for more information.
So thats where we are at everyone
I hope everyone attends the events, and help support our endevours.
You wanted it... You asked for them.. So here they are!
