Someone that can post over at the FA forums should invite the FA refugees over to AH.  It would be a disservice if we let them waste their money on WB.

I wouldn't say WB is dead. It has a strong community keeping it alive, even if somewhat diminished.

I would say it is less desirable and less fun than AH, though.

So, is WB free to download and can I play a couple weeks for free?  I grow tired of all the great things HTC has created for me in Aces High II and want to see what others think is "good".   :neener:

if you go to the fa forum and follow the links you might be able to scam yourself 60 days, but honestly its just a distraction and kind of dinky.

Sounds like they are going to warbirds how is that game?
Put it this way...there are a couple of aircraft there that we don't have here but...if you don't mind flying under trees that look like q-tips hanging 50 feet off the ground...1997 skin graphics (unless you pay extra to see the good ones)...IL2 fm's and a game that is using programming code from the late 90s and hasn't progressed since it's creation...then WBs is a good place for you to spend $20 a month.

As of right this minute the arena list shows 71 people in the main arena...that probably includes a few "trial period" people.

I'd never even heard of Warbirds until I started reading the AH forums.

I have not heard of warbirds, FA or AHII till 2005 when i saw a commercial of AHII.  Since then it has been AHII and now heard of the other two.  AHII seem to have a clue on how to develop the better gaming system and advertising it.  I feel that Hitech and crew will continue to better the game.

Aces High 2 is the best flight sim period, I've played them all and nothing even comes close.  True stoy.

Just imagine one day that Hitech, Pyro and crew will retire one day.  :(  :uhoh
