Does not belong into Space sims but General Gaming.

Also, graphically this looks total crap. Even Arma Jets has much superior graphics, and you can land and enter every building.

but it's still the only massive arena flight sim available

Why no developer today will make a game like Aces High but with modern graphics and flight mechanics, having a map from europe from 1939 to 1945 with war going..... he would cash in all the flight simmers buxxx, it's beyond me.

Aces High goes to steam ! holy shit ! after liek 10 years ?! and they are still working on it and creating new content. This might yet just be the best flight sim arena game ever.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=931022855


vote ! so the last alive flight arena sim does not die!


Seems the developer is sensible and listens to community after all. If they will make some main arena changes from what is currently, this will be the best!

I have been playing the free trial and while the graphics are from 2009 and the damage model is even back from 2000 the flight model is actualy superb, the sense of speed and energy managment is there.
FIghting at high speeds with 190 or p51d is actualy like you would expect it and has the production of current years.
The flight model is clearly the high point of this game.

Bumping because this game is underrated

A 24/7 persistant war in an open world with 500+ people ww2 flight sim.

This is the only game that offers something like this and it is being made by 2 guys



When it goes live on steam, every flight simmer should atleast try the free trial. The subscripction is 15 $ a month, but maybe they will change it for steam.

If you cannot see and can't or wan't to understand why this game is so good, I won't change your mind surely as you have made it up already.

Aces High flight model creates torque maneuvers, something which you can't do in other flight sims.Other sims just simulate controlled flying. Aces High creates flight with simulated aircraft in a simulated environment. That's why the post stall gyrations in Aces High match what you see with real aircraft in airshows, although with obvious differences from the different power/weight.

This is the only sim game that does it.

This game is a 90's game...... should appeal right to the Codexer taste, it's not dumbed down, the UI is old school.

The gameplay is one of its kind, it's the only alive flight sim with a 24/7 persistant war, it's vastly underrrated.
