Thank You Fellow pilots, for the training by fire you have given me. 3 days of flying in here I was just 4 short of an Ace in 1 sortie    Just kidding, killed 3 planes in 1 sortie instead of 3 planes killing me. I come from FA arcade room, hated the realistic room cause the planes would go into a flat spin easily. So this is a new adventure for me.

IMOH HTC has put together one bad to the bone Flight Sim. Love everything about it and the learning curve was not as steep as I thought it would be. Also everyone is helpful in here from HT to the nmy pilots that are kicking my butt.

Hopefully, I will get better and make killing me challenge. But I realize the only way to learn is to play with the big dogs, so you guys watch your six so I dont crash into it.

P.S. anyone whom has had a dog fight with me I need some feedback from you as to what I did wrong...Thanks Again

You see its not just a birth of a flight sim its the birth of a community.

Ahaaa !! A defector... LOL

Welcome Dow, trial by fire huh?
You got'm wevoe's dude. (<~~spelling?lol)
I like ya already. Wait, no I don't. I changed my mind, yeah I do.

Couple of quick & dirty tips you MAY already
have figured out.  Just in case I'll shoot anyway....PULL !!

1st.- Use your windows sound recoder to load up the stall.wav that's in your ACES HIGH sound folder.  Lower the volume a bit, OR a lot, depending on your preference.  Save it and then you won't be pestered by that annoying sound of a wooddonut trying to get thru the fuselage.  Once you learn to ease your favorite bird around in manuevers at the edge of the stall, this will be less of an issue.  But as you are learning, may as well turn it down for now, it's much more tolerable at a lower volume.  We will probably get individual sound sliders for volume control of ALL sounds later..but for now, I found this a good quick fix.

B.-  Configure your views the way that feels most intuitive to you. Every single Hat view can be adjusted to your liking and saved. HTC has created a groundbreaking view system with tremendous customization options.  But if you don't have all your views set up so they are second nature to ya, you dead.

Someone will gladly come along and make their projectiles intimate with your controls surfaces, or perform inflight ventilation on your cockpit, while you are are fiddle farting around trying to have a look see. You can't stay aware of your situation if ya can't see. So set'm up and use'm every 15secs or so to scan the skies.

G. -Take some extra gas (drop tanks) if you are venturing out further than a short hop from base, cuz these Birds Drink fuel...(now say it with me now)...PRO-fusely.

Seventh - A click or two of flaps for landings and easy does it on the stick on the last few feet til touchdown.

Well, that's it off the top of my noodle...I'm sure the other guys will add anything I missed.

See ya up there Dow..


Arc T out.

Thanks Guys, kinda like that wooddonut though. Reminds me not to do the lawn dart routine   Speaking of Lawn Darts, just trying to figure out a way to recover A/C from 480 mph nose dive, does not want to respond at that speed. Also what is the best turning speed for a Spit so I will not blackout as much???

Blackout onset seems to be about 4.7-5 G, so watch yer accelerometer. Me, I like flying with tunnel vision.  

For dive recovery (somebody more experienced hep out here), I dunno, maybe reduce prop RPMs to increase drag and reduce airspeed. I'm pretty sure you can lower flaps & gear at just about any speed in this stage of the beta, but that is NOT a habit you want to pick up, my young Padawan Learner.  

Wilkommen in Aces High and good luck. Need an ego boost, come find me and shoot me down. I suck out loud.

Ahaaaaa, another convert!!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings fellow former red eyed FA addict!

I was ChickenWing in my former FA life, I flew almost exclusively Realistic.

My AH tip:#1 Watch out, these guys goooood!
#2 start figuring out how to explain to the wife why 29.95 a month is better than 9.95 (personally I plan to lie my A.. off)

FA is dead, long live......well, emmm, sorry

PS: Where is the padlock key????????????????

[Check_JV44]

Hiya Cleaner, hey man is was good to see you in AH the other day.  Most of the FAers I see in here don't last long.  I'm still getting the hang of this game too.  I've got some great help from several fine folks already (thanks).  BTW, where is that padlock key? LOLOLOLOL

[WMKirk]

Well another one comes over the wall, I'll still fly FA 2 with my squad but I can't seem to keep my hands offa this li'l gem, been here since day 2 and I'm getting the hang of flying (and skydiving)
  One question, is the Club thing broken again? Cleaner and I both tried to set up a squad and it makes the squad name the same as our flight nickname, It worked in the .33 build , I set up K9 squad then with no problem.
 Y'all have a cool game here, my kids are really gonna miss their allowance...hehehe  

[Westy]

I'm going to fire the kid who mows my lawn every other week. I'm going to take that 40
saved each month and that's what will keep me in the air in here.

Sorry kid. Dats economics ya know?
