HiTech,
I would have assumed that you have also at least played and tested all or most of your competitor's prop sims since you started creating your own.  

0 for "Yes"  
1 for "No"  
01 for "Some of them"

Meh...

how about Sublogic FS1, Mig Alley, Spitfire Ace, and what was that really really old one where you flew a Postal Route?

BUT...

even before these...

I was an Air Warrior, until the end. I didn't believe I could find anything else that would replace it (unless it was a Korean or Viet Nam version).

Once I finally bit the bullet and jumped in here, I'm happy to report Aces High replaces Air Warrior quite well. The fact that its owners are actually committed to its long-term survival and continuing development make it even better, IMO.

Any chance WW2 will eventually become so well developed here that HTC may consider adding Korean or Viet Nam plane sets?

I first got a PC in 1993 or so, I remember playing Microprose's F117-the first sim I played. Nothing special, I thought.
Next one was "Dogfight-80 years of aerial warfare", again from Microprose. I loved that sim, I really did. It annoyed me that when I was trying to play it  with difficulty level high, the enemy planes would escape me by going up vertically-talk about unrealistic :)Then I playend 1942 Pacific Air War. Gorgeous!!!!I
loved the graphics and the flight model.
And then I discovered 2 good oldies- Chuck Yeager Air Combat- I played it like crazy, even if it was outdated. Also Red Baron, which I still play sometimes when I'm bored at work, cause it's fairly realistic and easy to play on the keyboard.
The story goes on- playing Warbirds 2D offline, which, on the "Ace" difficulty level, was really hard at first. That's where I developed most of my ACM.There's too many other sims I tried-like DID-Ocean's F29-Retaliator, the precursor of TFX. I also had my first multiplayer experience in Retal, connecting with my friend thorugh the modem.
EF 2000, F22 Lightning, Raptor (played the demo online while in college), EAW, CFS,(first LAN at school) ,later through the modem with one of my friends, and finally found AH-best of the best.
I also play IL2 offline sometimes, but it's not as exciting as AH. And, for mindless fun when I don't have a joystick, Red Ace Squadron.

I started watching my husband, Zeb, playing Air Warrior in January 1998.  He had been playing for some time, but it was only then that I realised the depth of the game.... until then I had thought it was "just another Flight Sim".....    I started my own account in July 1998 and played right up to the end in December 2001.

Meanwhile, in April 2001, my primary squad, The Krait Squadron, officially moved to Aces High, so I was playing both for the next 7-8 months.... usually AH early in the evening, then moving to AW later on.

I have been in Aces High ever since..... I do occasionally play WW2OL, but never flown there - only used GVs or played as Infantry.
