Hi Creamo.... <S>
You're missing the point, but who said AME's had to be marketing guys as well.
This Head to Head environment and set of related application tools, is one of the best business development opportunities HTC has available to increase paying customer head count. Unfortunately, they're not currently maximizing it well, either on the Internet in general, or by adding some simple innovations tied to the two week trial that would make it a tremendous drawing card to go monthly pay for play.
Anyway, been there, done that and have all the tee-shirts from these kinds of discussions, so I have no interest in chasing that topic further with this thread. I'd be happy to discuss it off-line in private email, with you, but I really don't think you'd be all that interested as it wasn't really the point of your original message, was it?
For the benefit of others though, I did want everyone to realize what was perhaps not obvious about it's (HtoH) potential.
As far as AH quake goes, I guess you must have picked a few of those arenas that someone had set-up, complete with outside views for fighters, ammo loads 10x greater than normal etc. Yup, there sure are those if you're into that kind of thing, but I get enough of that in the MA. If you check frequently, you'll find some really nice Historical plane set-ups using Vermillion's outstanding Mediterranean or 10bears Luzon terrain, which still needs some work (bumpy runways), but has incredible potential. <S> to both these guys for their efforts. They also usually have arena settings that require the highest SA possible with AH, with full realism fuel and ammo loads. Anyway, select one of those and let's meet with a classic 109f versus Spit 5 fur ball over the MED, or perhaps the F4U-1d versus A65Mb in Luzon.

Looking for a different kind of environment to discuss your favorite on-line flight simulator?
http://www.egroups.com/group/flightsimsonline ps. Suave.... you are absolutely correct about icons, but I suspect that if it could be done, HT would have done it by now as a CM option command. I'm guessing, but I think he's painted in a corner with some hard coding that prohibits doing this. It's too bad, as it would deal with a large issue, perhaps not for a lot, but at least amongst an entire demographic of AH players.
