Also glad to see this game is still going strong! I played back around 2012 to 2016 (back when I was just a kid really), and would like to get back into it soon. I used to love the big furballs and the tank battles (particularly on the map with the central island). Between work and other hobbies I don't get much time to game, but I think I'm going to get a new stick here in a few months and give it a go again.

Don’t procrastinate. Future is unpredictable. Saddle up and get it before its gone. Glad to read post like this. <S>

I'm in the same boat. Played solid from 2011-2015, then college and life happened. Now I have the time to get back it into it! Been playing for a week now and loving it. Didn't realize that AHIII supports VR until reading this thread. What system/headset are you guys using?

I've seen some familiar game ID's and squadrons I remember from back in the day. I used to play as MAINER but couldn't get logged into my old account. I'm playing as captphil now. Great to be back.

Aces High III offers a focus on teamwork and large battles with accessible controls. It might have dated graphics and limited single player options compared to other flight sims. You should consider the trade-off between accessibility and features before diving in.

Always great to see former players return, like I did.

It has a very nostalgic feel. AH 3 update was a great improvement yo sn already great sim.

Summer is a bit slow, with all games, late summer until spring it starts hopping..
