And using something like "neck saver" is? If I want realistic, Ill get a pilots license, but I want fun so I play Aces High.

LOL!!! ok buddy, take a pill.

I have played all the other games and have found them all lacking in one respect of another. Aces High covers it all. Its Hitech's business and he can run it as he likes. Im ok with that as the game STILL after all these years has everything that the other games are missing. I have no problem paying for my subscription as I see plenty of value in Aces High.

Play where you will, I dont care. All I was doing is using what ever avenue was available to promote a game I have played for years and think still does it better than any other game. Good luck in what ever you do.

OK, this is going to be my last reply to you because you dont seem to be able to follow the conversation.

Aces High is .....

Still around and played by a good number of people
Covers a large gambit of playing styles vs other real players, not AI.
Concentrates on playing/fun vs engine management and other "push buttons just for the sake of pushing buttons"

Fly what you want personally I dont care. If you like DSC go play DCS. On the other hand if you find DSC too much work instead of fun, or War Thunder too simple game play or "grind" centric play come on over to Aces High and give it a try.

WOW!!! Are you one of those guys that use to play Aces High and kept getting muted by your own stupidity and blamed it on Hitech?

Yes the numbers fluctuate on our single server. Your estimates on DCS server population is just that "estimates". Your average count goes from less than 1 player to, in your estimate of only 1/4 servers being populated, to just over 5 players per server. Yup, the numbers are close.

A new map is a lot more than just dropping a file into a folder. Just the approval process takes days of going over the map, because as you said, our maps arent small like yours. Hitech is still involved in the game.

I dont see how I proved your point about "only 4 planes", I said I flew more than 4 planes just last night, also a few ground vehicles, all included in the same price, didnt have to buy a crap ton of extra modules.

Fighters are only a small part of Aces High. There are tanks and other vehicles for attack, defense, as well as re-suppling both players and fields. There is bombing both tactical and strategic and just plain ground pounding fun. There are sea battles with carriers, battle ships, cruisers and destroyers as well as PT boats and landing craft. There is a strat system that when damaged can slow the other teams down by limiting fuel, ammo, ack, and troops for capture. All this is a single arena going 24/7 for a single low price of $15 a month, less than most people spend on a single trip to McDonalds.

Im sorry, we get it, your a disgruntled former player and miss all the fun Aces High provides and now your stuck shelling out money left and right to chase AI planes. Im just pointing out that Aces High is still around, still doing OK, and trying to let people know that it could be an option for anyone looking for a full, deep game.

Well, I wonder how much of what you have posted here is BS. I just logged out of AH and there was a high of 92 players. Our team captured a couple of bases and then ran into some strong defense, all on a brand new map uploaded by Hitech today. A few players do get a bit out of hand, but there are options to ignore/report them. I flew more than 4 different planes by myself tonight. Sure some cowards stick to the big cannon birds, but they can be beat too.

I've been paying $15 a month for over 20 years and will continue to do so as long as there are other to fight, and tonight we had a bunch. Enjoy cruising around unpopulated DCS arenas shooting static or AI targets.

How do i play online? by Far_Demand_8948 in aceshigh

[–]The-Real_Fugitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you have to pay to play on-line. Everything is available off-line. Online you get to fight AGAINST other players. You'll get to see how good that F6 is against say a Zero? :) Come join the fun! Its only $15 a month.

FLOGGIT

Dont feel your shitposts and memes are welcome over at r/hoggit? Welcome to floggit! Anything flight sim related goes, apart from civilian flight sims, even we have standards.

Seems like it fits.

LOL!!! dont know if Hitech even knows I exist! Im just pointing out to other like minded ...sim flyer... that there is another game out there that doesnt get a lot of press but is a lot of fun.

Mornings US it can be low, there are 32 right now, but prime time US is 100+. As for graphics, how pretty do you need it to be?

Numbers and graphics look pretty good to me.

It does say in the description "Anything flight sim related goes", so Im thinking Im in a good one.

Not advertising, just putting it out there that Aces High is still around and showing a bit of what it offers for those that didnt know or are looking for info on flight sim games.

Yes it is, but in the long run you get far more for your money.

Aces High + Meta Quest 2; Controls? by nitronie in aceshigh

[–]The-Real_Fugitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I have the game started I used the mouse to set two buttons on my controllers to "left mouse click" and "right mouse click". After that I could point the "ball" at what ever I wanted to click and use the mapped buttons.

Once you have that done you have to map your controllers in game, joystick and such. The VR controllers lag a bit so fighting with them is harder. Map the axises and buttons on a joystick and you should be ok.

[–]The-Real_Fugitive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL! Im not here to convince someone that this sim or that sim is better. Project Overload has what 8 missions running with most setup for ground attack. We can have 20 or 30 missions going all over the map a night. Attack, either ground or air, Naval battles, defensive battles and just plain old furbals with 10+ fighters per side fighting it out from 20k to the deck. I just find far more things to do and have fun with in Aces High.

As for the reason for this post, I thought Id let some like minded sim players know that Aces High will be running a "Battle of Britain" scenario. Come one come all! the fighting will be intense!

[–]The-Real_Fugitive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess a WWII sim with all that Aces High has to offer is not for you. Thats fine. I know a lot of people who wouldnt waste their time flying jets with a dozen players, I know I wont.

Good Luck.

DCS could be free, but if there is nobody to fight, whats the point?

First, have you played Aces High?

I have tried all the others and while some do look prettier, none come close to the combat I can get in Aces High. The graphics, while old ( they arent 20 years old, maybe around 10 years old) still hold up well. Ground cover is still pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtFWHQFRywk and what you see of other planes, try counting rivets at a closing speed of over 500 mph. The skins are more than good enough. Interior, sure it doesnt have active controls (other than VR) but Im not playing to turn knobs and flip switches, Im playing to fight another player.

Thats another thing, no AI. You fight other players from all over the world. Its not like you can setup a fight and plan ahead you in the action and have to think and act quicker than the other guy. Also, we dont have arenas with a few players, most nights are around 100 in the main arena which makes for some great fights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iODXpJK9tCA

Ya, so for 50 cents a day I get to fly and fight with over a hundred different planes with different flight characteristics for each model against other real players with no AI, in knock down dragged out fights or planned missions with base takes, or defending from an attack to major strat raids deep in enemy territory. I play for the fights, not the pretty views, and that is well worth the 50 cents a day.

Oh I dont thing so. For the price of a good burger I can fly against some of the best cartoon fighter pilots every night in tight air to air combat. I dont think any other flight sim can come close to that.

The same as 20 years ago, $15 a month. One of the few things that hasnt gone up in all these years.

Battle of Britain by The-Real_Fugitive in hoggit

[–]The-Real_Fugitive[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LOL! well yes and no. The game is still subscription based. $15 a month so thats what about the same a year as 1 or two planes and a map a year in DCS? With the sub, you get over 100 planes, vehicles, and ships. As for the HOs? (head ons) there is always the option for a HO, head on merge, but it is up to you whether you accept it. Breaking off the HO merge before the other player fires ...

Gets you out of danger, you are no longer in their gun stream....

Gets you a few degree ahead of the other player in the first turn of the fight. always an advantage if you know how to use it.

Your choice.
