Microsoft today announced the release of a major update for Fighter Ace II, Zone.com's (http://www.zone.com/) massively multiplayer WWII air combat game. 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 58 World War II vintage fighters and bombers.
The update adds 13 new aircraft to the deadly Fighter Ace II arsenal, including such planes as the Dornier Do217, the Douglas A-20 Havoc, the Grumman F6F Hellcat, and the De Havilland Mosquito. Two new maps are also included in the update, adding the English Channel and a fictional map which features 10,000 foot spires, a nail-biting canyon, and a death bowl with walls so high no one can escape. The Fighter Ace II update also offers advanced flight model adjustments for increased accuracy, improved rocket trajectories, heavy machine gun adjustments for the German and US forces, and more.
Registered players of Fighter Ace II must download this update in order to continue play. For more details on the update, go to:

In Fighter Ace II, players battle for airborne supremacy by coordinating battle plans with their wingmen and squad mates. Fighter aces must defend their territory, secure new strategic positions, and blast bogies in an on-going war between British, German, United States, Russian, and Japanese aircraft. Fighter Ace II's accurately modelled World War II aircraft include such planes as the DeHavilland Mosquito, the F4U-4 Corsair and the legendary Zero. Players can completely customise the ordnance load-out of their planes including auxiliary fuel, bombs and rockets. With improved physics, flight and damage model, along with aircraft mounted rockets and territorial combat with player triggered tanks, Fighter Ace II brings a level of realism never before experienced in an online-only air combat game.
Fighter Ace II is only available on the Zone.com
