no, it was 45 bucks a month, I was also paying for another account for a member who was low on funds in addition to mine.  and also paid for premium accounts on world of tanks for 2 clan members who fell on hard times.  and if you add to the couple of pigs that I paid a couple of months here and there and perhaps another 2 ah members who needed help.  and some hardware that I donated to a couple of other guys.  I have spent many times what I pay on my own account.  which I am grateful I can afford to.

I also donated more than  a couple of dollars at the shelter where I volunteer on Thursdays.   I have spent about 3k on my own computer over the last  2 or 3 years and I am anxiously waiting on a sim pit that I ordered which is gonna cost about 800 bucks.  but why do you ask?  are you afraid I am gonna spend your inheritance? or are you worried about my future?

The only proper combat simulator for PC that I know of is the DCS lineup. Compared to this every other "sim" out there, including WT and AH, look like arcade games.

Aren't those the study sims that you have to add each plane one at a time, and end up with P-51s vs. A-10s based on which ones you already own?
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Of course not, but they have a P-51D ;) and soon a 190D or 109G.

DCS World is clearly a study sim yes, and some aircraft are only available as single products (integrated into the "World"). However, the Flaming Cliffs module adds several aircraft.

Do you play all these games or just review them for the AHII community? Are you still playing AHII?

Are they all FTP? How much time do you invest in all of those games plus your time to time
in AHII? Add the time you invest here to tell us all what AHII is missing.
