Are there any World War 2 film buffs out there? Chances are pretty good that if you enjoy playing Aces High, the World War 2 Flight Simulator, then you also like watching the old movies about World War II.

Which films are your favorites? For this writer the following would be on my short list:

  • The Flying Fortress
  • The Bridge Over the River Kwai
  • Sink The Bismark
  • Guns of Navarone
  • The Longest Day
  • Saving Private Ryan

Of course there were hundreds of movies made about WWII but those would be my favorites. Why you ask? Probably because they had an element of realism about them: either the planes and ships seemed real or the scenes were filmed in such a way as to seem life-like. Anyone who has seen the opening scene of “Saving Private Ryan,” depicting the landing on Omaha Beach, will know what I’m talking about. Watching that opening scene felt like actually being there during the Invasion Of Normandy and that, my friends, is the mark of a great movie.

It is that same realism that makes a good combat flight simulator and there is no better flight sim than Aces High by HiTech Creations. Check out the skins on the aircraft in Aces High! Check out the attention to detail on the tanks and PT boats! These have been replicated as closely as you could ever ask for, but that only scratches the surface when talking about Ace High. Look at the arenas you are flying in, then check out the cockpit controls and feel the responsiveness of your plane as you fly over those arenas. This game is meant for serious war game players and that is proven out by looking at the list of players from around the world who think Aces High is just about as close to real action as you will ever get.

Listen we are so sure that our flight simulator is the best on the market that we invite you to play some of the competitor games out there; once you do then try our free two-week download. Do all that and we are willing to bet you will become hooked on Aces High. It really is that good!

So here is what you should do for this upcoming weekend: get yourself some DVDs of some of the movies listed above; watch them, get in the mood for some serious gaming, then log on to Aces High and set the skies on fire. Strap on your helmets and fly the Aces High Skies!

The new calendar is out for February….in case you haven’t checked….and we have a couple Special Events worth participating in this weekend. On the 10th we have our Friday KOTH, or King of the Hill; these are always exciting events as you take on the best of the best in a winner take all competition.

Sunday the 12th means it is time for our Aces High Sunday European Campaign. This time we are looking at the Dieppe Raid which occurred on August 19, 1942. This will be Frame One and you need to sign up fast for both of these Special Events so you don’t miss out on all the excitement.
