Original Aces High
« on: November 21, 2024, 09:49:06 PM »
Hello guys!

I am looking for the installer for the OG AH.  I know its pretty long shot but dose anyone happen to have the old installer floating around?  I thought id ask this wonderful and supper friendly community for help before bothering Hitech.

I hope you are all doing well I should be back in the air before to long.

Just curious why you would want a copy of AH1

I have a couple of versions of AH2 in the "misc" section of my help page, link in signature.

I think its possible with the version of AH2 I have on the site, with a link to a guy who had done it.

However, using AH3 you can log in and use the free arenas to head to head anyone from any where with less hassle to set it up.

You guys remember the beta version before it was called "Aces High" back when HiTech was first working on it?

What was it called back then?

Or am I misremembering?

Confirmed Kill?

Confirmed Kill became Warbirds. Then IEntertainment entered the picture.  May be remembering the sequence wrong but I remember iEn coming in and the split of the dev team to HTC Creations and Cornered Rat Software.

I think it was always Aces High.

According to the history I know it was always called "Aces High". Far as I can tell HT cooked it up while he was at IEN and he showed it to them as the next gen of Warbirds but they didn't like it and he went on his own to produce it.

Some early versions might still be on my old PCs, I'll look upcoming holidays... not even sure if HDDs on them are alive though.

It was tough finding cons in Targetware.

Yep, it was the beta version of Confirmed Kill.  That's what I was thinking of.

I think you may be right.
HT could def clear that up.

I had my hands full heading to EA.com w/ AW, so I may not have been paying too much attention to anything outside of that disaster. kinda sorta same time era.

Pretty sure I have a copy of AH1 somewhere here. I'll have plenty of time to look.
