The Aircraft Hangar

The Aces High hangar is where players can select their aircraft, vehicle, boat or gun position.  Fuel and ordnance loadouts, skin selection, setting gun convergence and checking perk points is also done in the hangar.

The selection list includes the model name, the model's score type, and the model's perk point values and cost.  Clicking on the buttons at the top of each column will sort the list by model, type, or any perk point value.

Clicking on the Set Convergence button changes the view to the rear of the hangar and displays multiple convergence lines coming out from the gun points.  By clicking and dragging the lines, the convergence points can be individually manipulated to your desired range.

The buttons under the selection list allow the player to determine how to score the sortie.  If a bomber is selected, a checkbox will appear that will allow a formation to take off.

Available perk points and perk points scored in the last sortie are displayed under the selection list.

List Tabs

The tabs above the selection list choose what it shows: All, Fighter, Bomber, Attack, Vehicle, Boat, or your own Favorite list.  All shows everything at the field you are at. Anything not available at your field is grayed out.

Hangar Menu

Right clicking on a model in the selection list brings up the hangar menu for that model.

Checking Enabled Only refills the selection list with only the aircraft, vehicles and boats available at your current field, so grayed out models are hidden.

Speed Chart and Climb Rate Chart display the performance chart for the model you right clicked. These charts are created from the flight model, so they are always up to date.

Vehicle Armor displays the armor picture for the vehicle you right clicked.

A personalized list of favorite aircraft, vehicles and boats can be created by right clicking on a model and selecting Add Favorite. If the model is already a favorite, the menu item reads Remove Favorite and removes it from the list. Use the Favorite tab to show only your favorites.

Save Default Skin is used to dump the default skin to the "skins" folder where the game is installed on your hard drive. This can later be used as the template to create custom skins.

Hangar Floor

The ordnance is laid out in three areas on the hangar floor. Players may make one selection from each area if applicable to the selected aircraft, vehicle or boat. Rolling your mouse over the weapons displays the description, and clicking on the ordnance will place the weapons on the cart and on your plane.

The fuel barrels in the foreground allow players to select different fuel loads. The fuel load amounts are 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.
