Fighter Ace II Beta Opened to Public

Fighter Ace II is moving through beta, so players willing to deal with crashes, weirdness and unfinished edges can get in early.

Fighter Ace II is moving through beta, so players willing to deal with crashes, weirdness and unfinished edges can get in early.

The useful part: On schedule to be released in December 1999, Fighter Ace II allows more than 300 pilots to fight in a single air combat arena from the cockpit of any one of more than 25 World War II vintage fighters and bombers. To participate in the Fighter Ace II public beta, would-be flyers must be registered Fighter Ace players, currently playable on the MSN Gaming Zone. Registration is easy and can be done here. If the download behaves, this is the cheapest way to find out whether the hype has legs.
