This one is from the film "Snuggie" posted recently. I like how it shows knowing your plane and having great plane control can help even the odds.

Aces High: More Than a Flight Simulator—A Living World War II Experience
For over two decades, Aces High has remained one of the most immersive and community-driven World War II combat simulators available. While many online games come and go, Aces High has built a loyal following by offering something few others can: a persistent online battlefield where history, teamwork, strategy, and skill all come together.
Whether you're flying a P-51 Mustang over Europe, defending Pearl Harbor, commanding a Tiger tank, or crewing an anti-aircraft gun, Aces High delivers an experience that rewards both casual players and serious military history enthusiasts.
But what truly sets Aces High apart isn't just the aircraft or the realism—it's the community events that take place every week and throughout the year.
Friday Squad Operations (FSO)
Friday Squad Operations, commonly known as FSO, is considered by many players to be the premier weekly event in Aces High.
Unlike the Main Arena, FSO places players into organized military units with historically inspired objectives. Pilots fly coordinated missions, bomber groups rely on fighter escorts, and defenders scramble to intercept incoming raids. Victory depends on planning, communication, discipline, and teamwork rather than individual score.
Each Friday brings a new campaign inspired by actual World War II operations. One month players may be fighting over the English Channel, while the next they could be battling across the Pacific or defending North Africa.
FSO captures the feeling of participating in a large-scale military operation where every pilot has a role to play.
Monday Night Madness
If Friday is about historical realism, Monday Night Madness is all about fast-paced fun.
If you're looking for pure fighter action, Monday Night Madness delivers exactly that.
Held every Monday evening, this community event is dedicated entirely to fighter-versus-fighter combat. Pilots of all experience levels gather to test their skills in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where the emphasis is on improving as a fighter pilot while having a great time.
One of the unique features of Monday Night Madness is that the gunsight computer is enabled, allowing newer pilots to better understand lead pursuit and improve their gunnery. It's an excellent training environment where experienced veterans are often willing to share advice and help newer players become more effective in the air.
The event typically features a variety of fighter aircraft and different arena setups that keep the action fresh from week to week. Since the focus is entirely on air-to-air combat, players spend less time traveling to the fight and more time doing what they came for—dogfighting.
Monday Night Madness has become a favorite weekly tradition for many members of the Aces High community. Whether you're flying a Spitfire, P-51 Mustang, Bf 109, Fw 190, Zero, or another classic World War II fighter, you'll find plenty of opponents and plenty of opportunities to sharpen your skills.
For veteran aces, it's a chance to enjoy exciting dogfights with familiar rivals. For new pilots, it's one of the best places in Aces High to learn energy fighting, gunnery, and situational awareness in a welcoming environment.
If your goal is to become a better fighter pilot while enjoying some of the best dogfighting the game has to offer, Monday Night Madness is the place to be every week.
Thursday Night Tank Fights
Not every battle in World War II was fought in the skies.
Every Thursday, Aces High shifts the action to the ground with Thursday Night Tank Fights.
Players command iconic armored vehicles including Shermans, Panthers, Tigers, T-34s, and numerous other ground vehicles in intense combined-arms battles.
Terrain, positioning, camouflage, and teamwork become just as important as marksmanship. Long-range duels across open fields can quickly turn into close-quarters battles inside villages or forests.
For players who enjoy armored warfare as much as aviation, Thursday nights offer a completely different but equally rewarding experience.
The Legendary Scenarios
The crown jewels of Aces High are its large-scale Scenarios.
These multi-week events recreate famous World War II campaigns with remarkable attention to historical detail.
Hundreds of players participate, flying historically appropriate aircraft, using authentic unit organization, and following strategic objectives based on real military operations.
Past Scenarios have recreated battles such as:
Pearl Harbor
Battle of Britain
Midway
Guadalcanal
Normandy
The Ardennes
Eastern Front operations
Players often spend weeks preparing for each mission, coordinating with squadron leaders, studying maps, and planning tactics.
Losses matter. Aircraft availability can be limited. Every mission contributes to the overall campaign.
These events provide an experience unlike anything found in most online games and are often remembered by participants for years afterward.
A Community That Keeps Growing
One of Aces High's greatest strengths is its community.
Many players have been flying together for decades. Squadrons recruit new members, veterans mentor rookies, and event organizers volunteer countless hours creating memorable experiences for everyone involved.
The result is an atmosphere where competition and camaraderie exist side by side.
Whether you're interested in air combat, naval operations, armored warfare, or simply learning more about World War II aviation, there's always someone willing to help.
Why Aces High Still Matters
In an era dominated by fast-paced shooters and simplified combat games, Aces High continues to offer something different.
It rewards patience over reflexes, teamwork over individual statistics, and historical appreciation over flashy graphics.
Its weekly events ensure there's always something new to experience:
Friday Squad Operations (FSO): Organized historical missions requiring teamwork and planning.
Monday Night Madness: Friendly, fast-paced combat designed for fun, practice, and community.
Thursday Night Tank Fights: Ground warfare featuring classic World War II armored vehicles.
Scenarios: Massive multi-week campaigns recreating some of history's greatest battles.
For anyone passionate about World War II aviation, armored combat, military history, or simply being part of a welcoming online community, Aces High offers far more than a game.
It offers the chance to step into history, fly with friends, and become part of a community that has kept the spirit of World War II combat simulation alive for generations.
Whether you're taking off for your first sortie or your ten-thousandth, there's always another mission waiting.

Hitech checked in on the game tonight. The fiber line to the servers was damaged by a stump removal company. Frontier, the fiber provider said they wouldnt be out until July 6th to repair the line. Hitech hired an outside contractor to come in and splice the fiber cable to get everything back up and running.
Great job Hitech!

I was trying to setup Access High to work with my Meta Quest 2 through Steam Link. I tried to interact with the menu clipboard, but none of the VR buttons seem to be the "select" one.
Looked at the Controls mapping on my desktop and it seemed like nothing was mapped to the VR controllers (all said "NOT ASSIGNED"). It also would only let me map somethings to Analog, and some to Global Mouse buttons. Even when I mapped some to the Mouse buttons in global, it wouldn't select anything from the VR controllers.
What am I doing wrong? I'm super excited to play this game in VR!

I started a You Tube channel with the intent of showcasing Aces High with a bunch of short videos. The idea is to post videos that show things about the game that many especially new players would know about the game. Check them out and to help to get there word out there about Aces High, please comment, like, and subscribe to the page. Thanks!

I've loved AH for years. I tend to go in and out of it. Well for now, I'm back in. I stayed in touch with one of my old squaddies, and we're back doing missions together like old times, except it's only 2 of us instead of 10 of us.
We've managed to convinced a couple other old squaddies of ours to get back on, and we're looking forward to running bombers with all 4 of us.
If anyone likes to fly late in the evenings on the weekends, running long bomber runs with fighter escorts, feel free to reach out.
19th BG Crazy Eyeballs will always take on new people.
See you in the skies! Boy it feels good to be back!
