Hello Fellow Pilots! How many of you remember Fighterace 2.5 on the zone?
Alot of us do i'm sure. Fighterace 3.6 is alive and the same pilots from day
1 of FA are still around. Fighterace 1.0 has returned, and 1.5 is comming
back as well. No news of Fighterace 2.5 but i still hold out hope. The magic
Left fighterace when it left the zone, and there's a growing concensus of
pilots wishing for the return of 2.5 Many Many people will flock back to it
if it ever happens. I'm working on starting the Fighterace 2.5 Preservation
society in an attempt to revive it. Anyone wishing to be added to the list
of pilots wanting it to return, please email me or post here!

Thanks, SYP_Twiz formerly WS_XO_Twiz, WS_XO_TwizTid, and WS_Fullclip

Heck Ya FA2.5 was the best Wish it was back I would drop 3.6 like a Rotten
Hot potato.
Fighter ACE 3.6 is a drag.. Boring most all the time. and not enough
players like 2.5 was.
+ KMS dont work for Zone Largest reason I would like the OLD days back. you
cant even say byte me without getting Kicked lol.

Hey Twiz:
I believe they have updated Fighter Ace to 3.9 open beta right now.

Fighter Ace 3.9 just came out and it now features support for Linux
(http://linux.ketsujin.com) as well as an even better flight model.

Hey Mark:
Good to see you back at the helm in FA. I have been following the game
though the news group and the news letters and it's going really good as far
as I can see. If I ever get some extra cash to update my system I would be
tempted to get a new subscriptions.

I am very tempted to try out FA 3.9 now that the flight modeling has been
fixed and the 1.5X acceleration has been nixed.


When I asked for increased acceleration many years ago. (has it been over 4
or 5 years now since FA 2.0?) it was just for the BOMBERS and not for the
fighters. Taking off at 8000 ft elevation in FA 2.0 and only having to fly
several grids was a sure way to die in a B17. Heck I remember when it was
nearly impossible to get the B17's above 10k without dumping all the fuel
and most of the bombs.

FA 2.5 or was it 3.0 added the increased acceleration to the fighters and
that made energy fighting nearly impossible


I am also glad to see you bringing back FA 1.0 and doing the WWI sim for the
future.

My thought of FA 1.0 back in April 1998 was that I wished it would be better
or equal to Warbirds. Well I think that has been accomplished and
surpassed.

Again it's good to see you back and the increased attention to the game is
appreciated. Someday you may wish to allow input from the old players
without them having to take out a sub. :). I am sure that there is a lot
of room for the Advanced players if you ever want to really go after that
market. I know a lot of guys that left FA 3.0 due to the flight modeling
and the lack of attention to the Advanced Flight Modeling and those rooms.

We use to call it Realistic.

haha I remember 1.0 and 1.5 very well.
All those squads and people, now sadly moved on. I miss those days. It was a
good time.
Never got into version 2 or 2.5. Just didn't like the changes to the game.

I just happened to search Fighter Ace because I haven't been able to find
any good games lately. I used to play a lot between 1.0-1.5 and once 2.5
showed up I pretty much stopped playing. I was Aerosoul1 and then later
HARD_SOUL. Not sure if you guys remember but I knew quite a few of the guys
who played back then. I'd be thrilled to play the game I used to play. I
don't care about graphics and bombers, I just want some good old fashioned
dog fighting.

FA 3.92 is about to get Jets and a Korean Room. The Saber jet and the Mig
15 will be added in the future. I won't say near future because I don't
know how long it's going to take to get the new jets ready.

You can read the news group forum to get more information. I have not
played FA since 3.0 as my computer is too old to be competative anymore
IMHO.

But I may give it a one month try when they get the Korean Jets setup.

Yes Lamb it's Moose1am. Been a long time eh?

I don't play FA anymore for many reasons. I use to read your forum for a few
years but had to reformat and lost the link to your forum.

I still read the FA 3.8=92 forums every week. Waiting to see when the Korean
Era Jets get released.

Spending time hunting and fishing these days. FA was too hard on the old
Blood Pressure! And the waist line didn't get any smaller sitting at the
computer for hours at a time.

You will find me in my boat out on the lake searching for crappie and bass
this summer

Ahh. Good to see you.

news://news.iswiz.com/iswiz.canteen

That will get you to the server, and the main group, though iswiz.politics
is where all the hating, err conversations take place, mostly. LOL

I had been playing an online MMORPG, but am starting nursing school in the
fall, and am trying to study and pass the assessments, so I haven't had
much "play" time.

Take care! Enjoy the outdoors!

Thanks Lamb! Your the best. I'll stick to just reading the forums and not
make any posts. hehe.

I wish you the best. Study hard and you will make a great nurse. I know, I
was married to one for 7 years. My X was just starting her Nursing Career
when I met her. She had just graduated from a two year school of nursing
and was working part time at one of the local hospitals. Man she worked 12
hours on three days in a row and at nights mostly. But then she would get
four days in a row off. When she worked she was dog tired but by the second
day she was off she was rested and had a three day weekend every week. She
could have worked regular 8 hr days 5 days a week but she enjoyed the time
off so much that she was willing to work those 12 hr shifts. She was
assistant head nurse with only a two year degree. She got her associates
degree in nursing.

The hosptials are begging for nurses and you can make good money with that
degree. So you have made a wise choice in that as a career.

PS: You can also work for a Dr and not have to walk the hospital halls. I
think that is the hardest part of the job. All the walking the halls to take
care of the patients. You should expect to see 5 or 6 patients each shift
if you work in a big hospital. At least that's what I remember.

ICE! Feel free to drop by the newsgroups also.

Sword is there (occasionally). CraWwL drops by once in a rare blue moon.
HARD_WIRED, Socrates, GetsumJ, and others are fairly regular there. I don't
get in as often as I should, but real life has me kind of scattered at the
moment. Most of the bickering, err, discussion is in iswiz.politics. (Wear
flame-proof undies before entering, hehe).

How have you been?

I, too, miss the good old days of FA on the Zone.

Take care! Good to know you are still around.

Hi there Doglips:

How's the 56 guys doing?

I retired from FA due to health problems. It gave me high Blood Pressure!
LOL

I may return for a bit if they ever get the Jets going. I think that would
be fun.

Look up and you may see me flying one of the Mig 15's above you.

And Ice How you been man. Long time no see.

I come to the iwiz group from time to time just to see if anything is new
with FA. Not much going on in FA these days other than the fact that SHAD
is leaving FA for greener pastures. FA will miss him I am sure.
