Part of my job as the Studio Art Director for ACES Games Studio was preparing trailers for our releases for E3 (we averaged at least one title a year). One of my favorites was 2007’s expansion pack for Flight Simulator X: Acceleration, which featured new aircraft, including several racing planes, as well as an F/A-18. We used photos of team members for the video intro, as many of the developers were real world pilots. As the last trailer I produced before I left the team to paint full time, it was in many ways my love letter to the franchise and group that had been my home for over ten years.
