As much as we love the fact that thousands of gamers play our flight sim game, Aces High, we would be remiss if we did not toss out this suggestion: Find balance in your life. Gaming isn’t everything.
Odd thing for a gaming company to say, but it’s how we fee.
Our gaming history.
We started developing Aces High back in 1999. Actually, the idea for the combat simulator entered our brains in 1998, but it took us a year to go from idea to action.
Our goal when developing the game, and our mission statement reflects it, was to produce one game, and one game only, and to make that game the absolute best combat flight simulator on the market.
We have not deviated from that mission statement, twenty-three years and going strong, thank you very much, and we do mean that, thank you, for supporting our efforts for so long.
Firmly entrenched in the gaming industry.
It’s not all that common, you know, for an online game to be popular and successful for so long. During our twenty-three years, we have seen quite a few “flash in the pan” one year success stories, but they and many like them flamed out fairly quickly. So yes, twenty-three years is a long time to be successful, and we are very grateful for that . . . but with that success comes responsibility, to the industry and to our customers, and that is the reason for this article.
It’s about more than subscriptions.
We have all heard the stories and reports about people being addicted to gaming, hiding away in dark bedrooms, drapes pulled, gaming away for fifteen, sixteen hours or more, and we have to tell you, that simply is not healthy. As much as we love the fact that people love our game, we in no way want those subscribers to play beyond healthy time limits. Moderation is needed, when playing a computer game, when exercising, when eating, when doing anything in life. Any doctor worth the cost of an office visit will tell you the same thing: Find balance in your lives!
Yes, we love the fact that you all love our combat flight simulator so much. Just don’t love it so much that you ignore the other fantastic things there are to do in life. We will always be here when you need an adrenaline rush. We are online 24/7, the action never stops, and you will always be welcome. Just make sure you get outside for some exercise, okay?
A final word about Aces High.
Twenty-three years . . . Aces High has been rocking the flight sim game industry for almost two generations, and that is, to us, mind-blowing. Yes, we hoped our game would be popular and successful, but honestly we never dreamed it would be this popular and successful.
Thank you for showing two computer nerds that dreams really do come true. We invite you to give Aces High a try. We offer a free two-week download so you can try out our game at no cost.
Think about that fact: Aces High flight sim game has now reached the age where we can claim that two generations of players have played our game/are playing our game/will play our game. For twenty-three years, our combat simulator has taken on all comers and remained wildly popular.
How do we explain that kind of success?
We are gamers who wanted to make the best game possible. We are World War 2 nerds who wanted to represent World War 2 in the best way possible.
And, we are a business which believes in producing high quality.

In truth, we are constantly tinkering with our game, trying to make it just slightly better while at the same time retaining the traditional greatness. So chances are you won’t notice many of the small tinkering fine-tuning things we do; but trust us, we’ve been tinkering for twenty-three years, not about to rest on our laurels, which is just one more reason why we have remained so popular for over two decades.

That has to mean something, right? And what we believe it means is our attention to detail, and our constant dedication to making the best flight sim game possible, resonates with gamers around the world. How else would you explain twenty-three years of popularity in the gaming world?

Perhaps you have a gamer in your family, and that gamer wants a flight simulator game for their birthday present. Perhaps you want to try a new genre of games, and a combat flight simulator game looks challenging enough, and fun enough, to give it a try. The question then becomes this: How do you choose a flight simulator game? What criteria is necessary in choosing the very best flight sim game?
We will answer that question in this article by HiTech Creations, the makers of Aces High, a trusted name in flight simulators since 2000. When it comes to flight simulators, we’ve been there, done that, and continue to manufacture the industry best.
Flight simulator games need a compatible computer.
If you have a game console, this is a moot point. If, however, you are purchasing a computer game, you will need to make sure your computer has the minimum requirements necessary to properly operate the game you purchase.
The good news is most modern laptops and home computers have the capability to operate practically every game on the market. Still, make sure you have a strong processor and enough memory to handle the game. The system requirements will be marked either on the package or, if it is an online game, will be listed on their gaming website.
Flight simulator games need to be relatively easy to learn.
This is a criterion most people never think about, but we believe it is important. You can have the most exciting game on the market, but if it takes weeks to learn how to operate at a basic level, and months to learn how to be competitive against established players, it really makes no difference how good that game is.
With Aces High, we have set up a system where help if a click away. We have hundreds of training videos available. We have hundreds of how-to articles. We have online forums where all manner of questions can be asked and answered. We even have one-on-one training from volunteers for those players who require a little more specialized training. All of this leads to a quick learning curve for our players.
And one other thing: We offer a free two-week download of Aces High, thus giving players two weeks to learn the basics of the game before they ever pay a penny. This is fairly unique in the gaming world, and our customers certainly find it very helpful.
Trust in the experience and track record.
Consider how competitive the flight simulator gaming market is. There are dozens of flight sim games to consider. How do you find the best? We offer this consideration: Since 2000, for twenty-three years, Aces High has been a leading combat flight simulator. That kind of longevity, in a crowded and competitive field, speaks volumes about the quality of our game.
A final word about Aces High.
