was off & on thru the Beta in '99/2000, Then our whole squad, The Damned, moved here in mass from AW, I think in Feb or March of 2001, although some of us still had to play AW for specific reasons ( until we finally got fed up with them people )...............
was cool back then, initially had to walk from tower to hangar ( or was it the maproom? ) pick your plane ( was very few planes to start in beta ) then taxi to the runway and take off, what a hoot.........
had no auto take off, had to manually trim out the plane, and remember Lonz, NB, Nomde, hitech helping me figure my way thru all the features on my first couple of flights...... it was very challenging to begin with back then.....
beta gameid's - TequilaC & TC <--? if I remember correctly
paying acct gameid's - DamnedTC then back to TC ( someone had taken TC somehow )
since about mid 2002 - have stayed TC ever since I got it back.....
edit: 1st pc used for Aces high in 1999 was an Intel celeron 333 cpu with a 16 meg videocard and 128 megs of ram using a 33600 K modem....... also Aces high was something like 16 to 20 megs download for the game......
