Why gaming forums?
Gaming forums bring together people across the globe who want to talk about video games. Some of them encompass all games, while others focus on a specific genre or company, like flight sim gaming.
In today’s online world, it is not difficult to find forums related to practically every game made and sold, but specifically, a specific game website should have a forum section easily accessed on that website. With that in mind, we turn your attention to our own Aces High website, which we will use for an example going forward with this article.
The Aces High forums
On our website Home page, players can click on the “community” tab, where they will find the “forums” tab. Clicking on that opens up the our flight simulator forum page, where these options are found:
- News, announcements, general information
- Special events announcements
- Help and support forums
- General information forums
- Special events forums
- Squadron forums
In each of those forums you will find specific forums. For example, in our “general forums”, you will find combat simulator forums on all aspects of our combat flight simulator game, including general operation of the flight controls, the different arenas available, and so forth. Suffice it to say that every single aspect of playing our flight simulator is covered and, if by chance, a topic is not covered, you simply log into a general discussion forum and ask your question. There are players on those forums 24/7, experienced players who know the ins and outs of Aces High, and help is only a question away.
If you are a beginner, and you feel shy or awkward about asking questions, rest assured that we have all been there, and we all become better players when the level of skill is increased.
The best forum of them all.
Something you will not find on all gaming websites is one-on-one instruction, which we offer on Aces High. Request some personal training and our team of volunteers will take it from there.
Or go it alone
Still, we recognize that there are some players who simply do not want to take part in forums and would rather go it alone, and that is perfectly fine. We have many players who have figured it all out on their own and become very skilled. That is one of the main advantages of our very generous free two-week download; it means you have the chance to learn much of our flight sim game for free. It won’t cost you a cent to experiment with the controls and different arenas. We are confident in saying that if you put in the time during those two weeks, you can become a fairly accomplished and confident player after two weeks, at which time you can pay the subscription fee o $14.95 and become a full-timer.
A final word about Aces High
Our forums are there for your convenience. Use them, don’t use them; choose the best path for you so you can become an active member of the Aces High community. Strap on your flight helmet and fly the skies with Aces High. Since 2000 we have been the gold standard of combat flight simulators.
There is an old saying; we are not sure of its origin, but it goes something like this: If you can back it up, boasting is not boasting, it is a statement of fact.
When we tell you that Aces High is the best flight simulator game on the market, it may sound like boasting, but in this article we will “back it up,” leaving those who read this with only one possible conclusion: it must be true!
Aces High has been around a very long time.
In truth, Aces High is now catering to a second generation of gamers. We first introduced Aces High to the gaming world in the year 2000; thus, or twenty-four years we have been the flight sim choice of gamers, and those gamers had children, and we are now the choice of the children.
Two generations! There are very few combat simulator games which can make that claim, and in a very competitive market, where it seems a new game is introduced daily, it is remarkable that Aces High is still leading the way in the flight sim gaming genre.
Revise, revise, and then revise some more.
It’s not that we believe anything is wrong with Aces High when we plan a revision; it’s just that we think it can always be better, just as we always believe any game can be better. There is no such thing as a perfect game, console or PC, and using that as our guiding star, we are constantly revising our game, a new version followed by a new version followed by a new version, at no cost or hassle to you.
In fact, this was part of our mission statement back in 1999 when we were first developing Aces High, the make one game, and one game only, and to make that game the very best on the market.
We are still doing that.
Best gaming support on the internet
What kind of support do we offer? We have an active forum where all questions are being answered by real-time players. We have hundreds of articles and videos which will walk you through all aspect of playing our combat flight simulator. And we have real time, one-on-one instruction, should you request it. What this all adds up to is the fact that you are never alone with Aces High.
We are so confident in our game that we literally give it away for two weeks, absolutely free, no credit card information required. Yes, we are that confident, and we’ve made that same offer for as long as our game has been available. Full access to our game, to our forums, to its entirety, for two full weeks.
Does any other game manufacturer do that?
It all adds up to this . . .
No brag, just fact, Aces High is the best flight sim game on the market; it was in 2000, it is in 2024, and until someone comes along to unseat us, we will be into the future.
Give us a try. Strap on your flight helmet and fly the skies with Aces High.
It would be pretty difficult to play flight sim games without a monitor, and it would be equally as difficult to enjoy the experience without the best monitor available. With that in mind, HiTech Creations takes a look at the best gaming monitors for 2024.
HiTech Creations is the creator of Aces High, the combat simulator which has led the way since 2000. Try our free two-week download and see for yourself what great gaming looks like.
But first, let’s chat about gaming monitors.
Excellent monitors for flight sim gaming.
Without further delay, here are our choices for a great gaming monitor:
- Sceptre 34-inch curved
- Acer Nitro 27-inch
- LG Ultragear 34-inch
- ASUS TUF Gaming 32-inch
- Acer Nitro 23.8-inch
We could continue with the next five on our list, but they are all made by either Sceptre, Acer, or ASUS, the three companies which easily outdistance the rest in gaming monitors and the required hardware. The next five would only differ in size, certainly not in performance.
Our overall top pick: Sceptre 34-inch curved.
Budget always plays a part in this discussion.
The question then becomes do you have the $325 to spend on a gaming monitor like the Sceptre? Not everyone does in today’s economy; in fact, you better be very serious about gaming if you are going to fork out that kind of change for a monitor. We understand that, and that is why we now mention the bottom line in this discussion.
Bottom line about gaming monitors.
The gaming monitor market is continuously growing, and finding the best option for your needs is becoming easier with more models coming out each year. When looking for a gaming monitor, there are different factors you'll have to consider, as there's no perfect solution for everyone. A monitor's HDR performance, resolution, and refresh rate all impact your buying decision. For example, competitive PC gamers may prefer higher refresh rates and lower resolutions, but you may want an HDMI 2.1 display with a 4k resolution for more detailed games.
Due to all these factors, you'll need to consider the type of games you play and your budget before looking for a monitor. Of course, premium monitors combine fantastic gaming performance with incredible picture quality, so they offer the best of both worlds, but they also cost a lot. No matter what type of gamer you are, getting a monitor with a fast response time for great motion handling is beneficial. Low input lag is also important, but that's the case with most monitors. Having VRR support helps reduce screen tearing, but this feature works on most monitors with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
A final word about HiTech Creations and Aces High.

Give us a try. Strap on your flight helmet and fly the skies with Aces High.

What is a flight sim game?
A flight sim game is a game where actual flight is simulated, and the player flies aircraft through varios scenarios, oftentimes war-like scenarios. These games can either be console type of PC online type, and more often than not they are MMO games, offering gaming competition, real-time, against other players.
Game console flight simulator games.
As previously mentioned, game consoles offer flight simulator gaming experience, either against the “computer” or against real-time players. They burst onto the scene in the 90’s, and today there are quite a few different types of consoles available with corresponding games which can only be accessed by the specific console.
Obviously, these are popular, as proven by the more than thirty years of continued sales. However, and this is the only drawback we can really point at (other than cost), these games need to be updated, and oftentimes that means purchasing a brand new game for the improvements. We believe that is a ridiculous waste of money.
Online PC combat simulator
The other genre are the PC simulators, of which Aces High is one. These offer real-time action, usually for a monthly subscription fee. For example, after the free two-week download of our Aces High, it then costs $14.95 per month for unlimited play of our game, with no long-term subscription requirement. The advantage? When our game is updated, and it is continually updated, it does not cost you a penny for the update. Your subscription fee remains the same no matter how many new versions of our game we release.
Which of the two options provides you with the best realistic action? We believe, if you have a PC with great gaming capabilities (great memory and processor) that the online option will always be the best. However, upgrading your PC can be pricey, so it all depends on how serious you are about experiencing the ultimate in gaming experience.
A final word about Aces High
Think about this for a moment: Aces High first hit the market in 2000. We are now selling our game to the second generation of gaming player. Parent and child are both having a fantastic gaming adventure with the same game, Aces High, and we think that is pretty cool.
Strap on your flight helmet and fly the skies with Aces High. You won’t be disappointed.
Who better to teach you flight sim gaming secrets than the developer of a long-lasting flight simulator game? We are HiTech Creations, and Aces High has been our creation since 2000. If you are looking for the absolute best in a combat simulator, try our free two-week download and see for yourself why we have been leaders in this gaming genre for twenty-four years.
Becoming a great flight sim player begins with this.
The first insider tip we want to share with you has nothing to do with practice or skill level or any secret tips on how to fly your aircraft more efficiently. The first tip is all about the equipment you are using to play games.
Buy the absolute best gaming PC you can afford. The computer really does make a huge difference. Find the best processor, find the best deal on memory/RAM and, if you are really serious about your gaming, fork out the bucks and pay for the extra advantage a great PC will give you.
And, if money is an obstacle, buy the best PC you can afford from the second tier of PCs.
And then, learn the skills.
We can only speak for our game, Aces High. We have no clue what the other games supply with regards to help in learning the game.
At Aces High, the first stop for someone trying to learn the skills is the forum board. There you will find all of the topics you can think of, and players hanging out willing to answer your question.
Next, watch training videos. We’ve been doing this for a long time so trust us, we have hundreds of videos on every topic you can imagine.
Then we want you to read articles on all topics related to gaming skill set and then, if you are still feeling in the need for more instruction, we offer one-on-one training instruction from staff and our team of volunteers.
It all adds up to an overload of instruction for those who want it.
Finally, the oldest lesson in gaming.
When you are all done availing yourself of the online assistance, and you are comfortably sitting in front of your expensive PC, which has all of the bells and whistles, it is time to practice, practice, and practice some more. True gaming skills, all things being equal, come to those who sit their butts down, turn on the game, and practice until their fingers are dead-tired.
Or put another way, jump into the fire and learn by getting your butt kicked a few hundred times.
Nothing, and we mean nothing, will train you faster than actually stepping into an arena, strapping on your flight helmet, and flying the skies against other gamers. Yes, you will make mistakes and yes, the experienced players will chew you up and spit you out, but you will be improving your skills with each defeat.
Happy Flying!
