You are Cordially invited to our open beta testing of Aces High.
AcesHigh Version 0.33 is available from are download link.

During the beta process we will be doing a lot of release and server updates.
Expect to see a lot of us in the arena during the first few days as we will be
primarily working on the host side of things until it settles down.
So load up your ammo gentlemen and help us finish the creation of a game that
we can all enjoy.

HiTech


..and so began our fantastic journey. Open Beta was released, and HT's second flightsimm project was underway. Here we are 2 years later anticipating another big version update.

From one of the fellas who logged on the first night of open beta, I've had a blast so far. The game's come a long way and is just beginning to hit it's stride.

Chime in here beta pile-its!


(HT, I haven't forgotten the other day you tempest dweeb!  ;))

I have been here since Beta 1, though I started in mid-October and not the first night.  The difference of 2 years is remarkable, and what is coming soon is looking to be spectacular to say the least.

HTC, I am not quite sure I should thank you for creating something more addicting than nicotine, heroin, and cocaine combined.   :D

Seriously, thanks, it has been a great ride so far, and the road ahead looks to hold one magnificent journey that I am very much looking forward to.

Cheers HTC!!!!

Another Beta-zoid checking in.  My wife probably disagrees, but I thank you very much, HTC!

Been here since first day, even first hour. Fell in love with it right away, not to mention how impressed I was when I saw the graphics in AH compared to the other sim I was flying.

It's truely a great sim, nomather if I whine or not I will allways think so  :)

Now, where's my 262?  ;)

I've been here happily since my lawn darting escapades during the first night (US time) on Day One.

 Happy Birthday HTC. And I hope there's many more to come.
