One of the reasons we at HiTech Creations made Aces High is because, as we’ve stated many times before, we wanted to make the best flight sim game on the market.
However, there was a second reason, one we don’t talk about too often: we are history nerds, and Aces High reflects that nerdom in us.
History is in our attention to detail.
Take a look at the aircraft we have made available on our combat simulator. We spend hundreds of hours pouring over old photos of WW2 aircraft to make sure we have the details down perfectly. Same with the ships and ground vehicles in our game. And, if we miss a detail, you better believe our gaming community will let us know, and we fix it immediately.
Why? Because we believe being the best is important, but we also do it to honor those brave soldiers who fought in that war. It’s the least we can do.
History is in our simulation competitions.
Check out our monthly simulation contests. We re-create a famous battle, fought many years ago, and then turn our gamers loose to re-write history. It’s a fun activity, and is always met with enthusiasm, but it is also our way of making sure that history is respected and never forgotten. The Battle of Britain, Normandy, the Battle of Anzio, we leave no stone of history unturned as we toss our players into the recreated battles and let them experience what it must have been like.
And, as an added bonus, they earn bragging rights when they win one of the competitions, and that never hurts a player’s ego.
History is in our articles and videos.
As if all that were not enough, we literally have hundreds of articles and videos about different events and people in World War 2. This is not something we had to do in order to sell our product. People would have paid the monthly fee for Aces High whether we wrote those articles and created those videos.
But it was something we thought was important. And, judging from the reaction of our customers, they believe it is important to. Thousands over the years have learned about World War 2 through our articles, and more still have gained a finer appreciation for that war through our videos. We find that very gratifying, and we intend to continue creating them as long as people are gaining something from them.
A final word about Aces High.
Twenty-three years ago we sat down and made two decisions: one, that we would only make one game and two, we would make the absolute best combat flight simulator on the market. That was our vision, and that vision has guided everything we have done over the two-plus decades.
And we feel we have achieved what we set out to do, but don’t take our word for it. We offer, every single day of every single year, a free two-week download of Aces High. That way you can find out, for yourselves, whether we achieved what we set out to achieve.
