Welcome to Aces High II

When the game starts, you are presented with the Aces High II splash screen. The first time Aces High II starts, or after any major updates to the game, you will see progress indicators showing the game creating the cache files for the game. This will only happen when you change certain video settings or when we release an update to the game.
