How do I get my film viewer to work . I have it running and saved some missions, but can't find where to view them.

If you have the game installed to the default location, the films will be saved here, C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High\films You can not run the film viewer and the game at the same time. To run the film viewer, quit the game, then navigate to C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High, there you will find a file called "ahfilm.exe". Double click that to run it. Once that is running use the menu at the top to pick a film and then once it load, click the play button.

Or you can go to Start->Programs->Aces High->Aces High Film Viewer from the Windows desktop.

You can also chose to associate .ahf files with the film viewer by double clicking on the film you want to view, then when Windows asks what program to use, navigate to "ahfilm.exe" and associate with the .ahf files.

Thanks for the help guy's. But now I am realy confused. I found the exe. file but now it wants me to download some stuff I never heard of. As you can see I not very computer literate, and don't want to load anything when I am not sure of what it is. :headscratch:

Something wrong there.  The film viewer does not require anything other than the game installation.  The film viewer will not ask you to download or install anything.  It is not in the code to do so.

It sounds like your computer has a virus, or malware, or spyware installed which is being triggered by other programs, such as the film viewer.

the film viewer is installed when you install the game...and you don't open aces high to get to it.

You can't even run aces high and the film viewer at the same time.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

The "ahfilm.exe" program is installed when you install Aces High.  The executable is in the same folder as the game ("aceshigh.exe") is.  If the executable is gone, the only way to get it back is to install the game again.

To preserve your game settings, simply install the game over the top of the existing installation.
