I know that's a really bad game title.

Ground of Aces?  Is that a unit of measurement?  Like a murder of crows or a parliament of owls?

Also, of you say it fast it sounds like "Grounded Aces".

Looks like the company is based in Switzerland and also has teams in Poland and 'The Yellow and Blue" flag country. 
I guess English is not their native language hence the weird title to the game.

I wonder if it will be anything like this: https://www.gog.com/game/plane_mechanic_simulator

"Ground Aces"? The unsung heroes of any air war are the ones that keep the plains flying.

w8 - you can say Ukrainian flag here. It's just the conflict that isn't allowed discussion...or are you on a self-ban of the country?  :)

Thanks JD.  No I wasn't sure if it's ok to say Ukraine here.  I can lift my self ban woot!  :)

It's fine to talk about the existence of the country and if you're talking about a specific historical game, go right ahead.

If you're interested in discussions of the current conflict, we've confined those to an opt-in-only channel on our Discord server, so that the only people even seeing the discussions are those in that channel.  PM me if you're interested.


And with that, we can get back to talking about this game and what we think it might be like....
