Max,
Don't hang up AH just because ya didn't fit in......AH is a GREAT game.

First of all, we're a bunch of old(er) men, a fairly quiet bunch, and many of us knew or were familiar with each other in other flight sims, Air Warrior, and Air Warrior 3 on gamestorm.com. The fairly quiet part was the key to your seperation. We were, you weren't  

You managed to piss off quite a few people with a post on the bbs you made a few days ago. Not only me, but the AH community in general. It wasn't because you were trying to, it was because you didn't know.

Many of the people that play AH have been waiting for this kind of sim to come along for a LONG time now. And, most take it very seriously. The diving b-17 trick here is frowned upon, as is a host of other things.

The problem that you ran into, is that you rushed right into many aspects of the game without thinking "is this acceptable?" A bunch of old guys play this, (brb, coffee's finished) and it (brb again, need a smoke) reflects life in general. Max, I understand that you are 14 years old. I am 37. A big difference there heh? Yet we enjoy the same game, and a common interest in history. Which is another reason I like this sim. WWII era sims are the only ones I enjoy, due to the fact that that era was the era I was most interested in since I was a young kid. I read all kinds of books, scarfed up all the pictures I could, and the interest never left me. I hope it interests you too. Many aspects of that era are long forgotten by MANY, including the lessons learned. (rambling on, I know).

Max, you just need to sit back and play "quietly" and just watch what's going on. Make comments when you want, but think about what you are going to say b4 you say it. If you are not sure if "this what I want to do" is acceptable, then ask. Ask me anything (almost anything)  and I will gladly and truthfully answer you. If I don't know, I'll tell ya I don't know. But, I'll FIND the answer for ya tho.

I have a son that is 16 (yesterday, as a matter of fact) and he played Air Warrior with me now and then when he was your age, and was very "EAGER" as you are now. All I told him was....slow down, think for a sec, then act....one way or the other. Sort of like life in general.


Max, don't take this "seperation" as an insult, or a personal attack. Neither of which would be the case. It's just that we like being fairly quiet online, we enjoy each other's company very much, hek, that's one of the reasons I like AW and AH so much. The community within. So, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the game/sim. Keep flying and just chill a little  

Look me up when I'm flying, and if ya have any questions or comments, go right ahead and fire away. If ya need help, ASK! Any one of us will come help if we're in a position to. Stay BISH and stay safe!  

Sorry, "stay safe" is habit....I'm a police officer and stay safe is a much used phrase. And, it's a good karma kind of thing =)

Take care Max, stick around and learn and enjoy!

Well I am not gonan sign up for another month, AH is simply no fun without a squad.
I have always been fascinated by WW2 too, I was always watching the History Channel Shows when I was 10 or so.

hiya Max,
Rob cover everything. We are not mad at you just that like rob said we old and we play this game for fun. I have read on BBS where a lot of good pilots respected by me and others were really mad about the situation that arise from your incident. I know you here to have fun and you should have fun but it caused problem with people in AH not just 1 or 2 people but a lot of players. I hope you make the best of it and not mad at any of my squad mates and if like to blame anyone should be me. Take care and I hope to see you as same side we flying

If he committed suicide today, how can he be posting? He should have said that he was going to commit suicide if he wanted to be taken seriously.

Oh well, never trust anyone under 20...

Don't make the mistake of generalizing. Northolt Wing (both squads, 303 from WB and 308 from AH) has been blessed with the membership of darn fine young men (at least half a dozen). I wouldn't have it any other way. To the Wing they bring the enthousiasm and energy of youth, but also excellence (dang it I envy the way ACM comes easy to them compared to me   ). I feel we older ones have as much to learn from them as they from us.

About the matter of Maximus, I think it should be dropped. I think we all share some responsability in the way this turned out.

We should all remember that agressivity and confrontation never helps to resolve problems, and that in the case of youngsters, the worst way to respond is the way this community responded to Maximus13.

Amen and well said DrSoya.

When the Red Dragons started back a couple of years ago in the Simguild beta of Flying Circus we had some really great pilots and with a really great attitude.  Heck one was 8 and had the best kill streak of any of us.
Right now my CO is 18, the XO 16.  The rest of us range up to 50.  I wouldn't trade any of the younger guys ever.  These are some of the best people I have ever met on the net.  I even have my CO sitting here next to me while I write this, I invited him over from Germany to stay 2 weeks with me.  There are very few people that I meet on the net that I would even consider doing that with ya know?

The point of my rambling is don't dis em because of age, it is the attitude that counts.  I know some grown men on here that wouldn't make it past our "great attitude" recruiting requirement.(it is the only real requirement we have).  But in the same token I would give them a chance too, The past doesn't matter to me just the present.

S!

Redwing is your CO still right? Just clarifying. Both are damned fine young men. They, as are the rest of the RDs(VMF-115), are excellent pilots and have the best attitudes I've ever come across. Enjoyable guys to fly with and against. 2 and a half years later, and nothing but respect for your fine outfit.
You guys will always be the Red Dragons to me, and I definitely enjoyed the times we shared and continue sharing together. Snappy Salute! VMF-115!

Dont generalize.
While I have met lots of young salamanders, the same goes to old ones. I'm only 18, ive been squadding since I was 16. I have lots of fun in here; the good thing about the net is that age,race,gender, etc DONT MATTER.

In fact, if many of us young'ns said I AM 30 would it make any difference?

As DrSoya pointed out, Northolt Wing has been blessed with some excellent young pilots.  We've got high-schoolers who are better pilots and more mature emotionally than a lot of guys I know who are in their 30's and 40's!!!

However, Maximus is a scab and I'm

I work with kids from of 5 year old  thru 18 years of age for a living.  I have met few that were great to work with and others boy will my work was  just one tough...  Anyhow,  In Aw3 we have few young kids age of 16 to 18 who are the great pilots and very freindly.  I also had 34 year old on our squad in aw3 who was a pri**.    I AM VERY HAPPY HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING AND GLAD IT WAS JOKE MORE THAN SERUIOS.  Btw Rocket I have met 95% of my squadmates which are more than 60 players counting AH and AW3.  I travel and had renuinion and had a great time with them.  It was one of my best vacation in a long time check pics here www.fly.to/airwolves  its under squad renuion.

Later fellas
