Why is Aces High the number one combat flight simulator on the market? For one reason it is technologically superior to other flight sims, but we at HiTech Creations also think it is because of all the special events we offer that give you an opportunity to test your skills against the best in the world.
This week is no exception! On the 13th we have XTreme Air Racing; on the 16th an FSO is offered; the 17th there is a Scenario you won’t want to miss and on the 18th is an SEC Frame 3. For a complete schedule of upcoming special events go to http://www.ahevents.org/events-calendar.html.
Recently the daughter of Josef Stalin died. Lana Peters was 85 at the time of her death; she was a famous author and known worldwide as the daughter of the Soviet dictator. At HiTech Creations things like this just bring back a flood of memories about Josef Stalin himself during World War II.
In fact, a few weeks ago was the 68th Anniversary of the Tehran Conference when President Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin met to plan the next stages of World War 2. To historians and history buffs like us this is the kind of information that fuels our engine as we try to continue to improve Aces High; we aren’t satisfied with being the best combat flight simulator on the market; what we want is to continue to be the best flight sim for years to come.
Aces High Special Events update for this week: today, December 6th, we have a Aces High Xtreme Air Racing League happening. Then tomorrow, December 7th, we will of course have a special event in memory of Pearl Harbor called “This Day In World War II: Pearl Harbor.
These special events are a great way for the beginner to hone his/her skills and also a great way for the experienced gamer to find out just how good they are against the best flight sim gamers in the world. Aces High by HiTech Creations, when second best in combat flight simulators just ain’t good enough.
It is only fitting that today we write an article about the Attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. In essence this was the attack that catapulted America into World War II, and since Aces High is a combat flight simulator based on World War 2 what better day to offer this article to our loyal flight sim gamers?
Pearl Harbor was as close to being a surprise military strike as ever happened in military history. Although there were indications that an attack was about to happen, those indications only became apparent in hindsight. In fact, the attack happened while negotiations between the United States and the Empire of Japan were ongoing.
The U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was attacked in an attempt to prevent America from interfering with military actions against Japan during the early stages of World War II. 353 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes came in two waves during the attack and severely crippled the American naval base. Four battleships were sunk, three damaged; two destroyers were sunk, three cruisers damaged, one-hundred and eighty-eight aircraft were destroyed and 2,402 personnel were killed. It was, to say the least, a nearly-resounding victory for the Empire of Japan.
However, a third wave of attack never happened and thus the power station, shipyard, maintenance center, fuel and torpedo storage facilities and submarine piers were undamaged, leaving the United States wounded but certainly not dead, a fact that would come back to haunt Japan in the ensuing years of the war. In addition, the attack eliminated all opposition to the United States entering the war and the next day, December 8, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan followed closely by December 11, 1941 when Germany and Italy declared war on America. In four short days the United States had gone from isolationist leanings to being in the war totally in the Pacific and European theaters.
And because of all that HiTech Creations, sixty years later, created Aces High, the number one Flight Simulator World War 2 version, and we have been tinkering with it and perfecting it ever since.
