This MMO combat flight simulator game is subscriber based and is constantly updated and upgraded. While the main focus of Aces High is on World War II aerial combat, there is also a smaller selection of ground vehicles, ships and World War I aircraft. There are over 100 aircraft, vehicles and boats individually modeled in the game. The combat takes place in several online arenas, the WWII arenas focus on 'early', 'middle' and 'late' war aircraft. The World War 1 arena is setup as a dogfighting arena with 3 countries setup and bases in close proximity. Special events cover a wide range of historical and ahistorical topics. They include 'scenarios', 'squad nights', 'King of the Hill' and 'air races'. Scenarios are the largest of all the special events, and take the form of simulated aerial campaigns. They take place at least once a week multi-week events, typically with one or more multi-hour sessions called "frames" per week. They typically involve up to 500 players divided up into two sides with definite objectives, available aircraft, command staff, and mission orders for each side. Axis v Allies (AvA) arena pits historic opponents and weapons against each other within the confines of available plane sets and maps. The arena features 24/7 snapshots of historic or semi-historic WWII battles or campaigns in virtually all theaters of the war. Ordinarily, setups change each week. Using editors provided by the developers, players are able to create terrains and aircraft skins, which may be submitted to HiTech Creations for inclusion in the game. The game also contains a program called Aces High Film Viewer. This allows players to record their sorties for later viewing. Players can slow down or speed up the play back, use recorded views to watch the film as seen by the player in game, there is an option for trails to show the flight paths of aircraft as well as the ability to trim down film and remove text or vox from a saved film. The title of the game changed to Aces High 2 in 2004 but reverted to original name later. It's now supplanted by the improved Aces High III in 2017. | ||
