Author Topic: HTC - BB Suggestion (Read 1026 times)

FT_Animal · « **on:** July 14, 2004, 10:39:51 PM »

I'm the kind of guy who likes to bring things of interest to a main center point.

While making a training/traning films page for my updated site it occured to me....

Wouldn't it be a good idea to start a process so that a broader pilot training can evolve. I think it would be good to have a Pilot Training forum on this BB.

I think this could help spark a more enthusiastic approach to inspire people who'd like to train other pilots.

I haven't look into it much in AH, but training is something that needs to be taken more seriously. I think it would be another brick in the wall to an evolving community, another side to it.

My concept is, the more sides you add to something, the more it becomes more well rounded.

All it would cost you is a few lines of script in the BB. I think this would be a huge benefit to many, including HTC.

just 2 cents..

Good suggestion. I think the help forum may have been intended for that, but a lot of the times it drifts to help running the program or scheduling place for the TA. For awhile, some good films were being posted there. Right now, with the transition, its dried up a little. Guess part of that is the film viewer isn't up to par yet.

Something I've yet to see - a good film of excercises to do offline to improve gunnery. In AW there were some impressive offline films - one that comes to mind is Vossman's verticals up the buildings in the city.

Dunno 'bout yer bandwagon, but I think an ACM (only) related forum would be a great idea.

I guess I'm one of the few that never played AW, so I can't really relate to the training program they had, but I have the understanding it was pretty good. Enough AW people here you guys could probably get it going.

As for the peanut gallery, definitely a bunch of goobers handy for that.

A new pilot training forum would be of good use............or maybe break it down more
a pilot training category with forums for Beginners -- start here -- forum
Situational Awareness Forum
Basic Flight Manuevers Forum
converging BFMs into ACM Forum
Training Films Forum
how To Be The Monkey On Top ( King Of The Mountian ) Forum

I am more for an informal training schedule, with say 3 nights a week, can hold these at like 8pm est M,W,F and possibly 11pm est Tues & thurs say 2 hours each night......I know , I Know this has all been said before, but if done right I think the whole game and community can excel from this......( btw I thought the Training Staff was already working on something similar to this idea)

As a new member only being in the game for about a month I would really benifit from such a forum as would other new users. I have been watching others films and have spent alot of time offline and in the training arena. And I really have to thank Ghost for showing me the basics in flight. Along with all the others in the MA for helping with any questions I have had.

I think AH has the best training program, vets can earn free time online by training newbies.

However, it isn't widely publicized. Maybe the top 5 or 10 to earning trainers could be posted at the end of each month?

"it isn't widely publicized"

IMO it should be part of the logon screen. Not too "in your face" like but large and clear enough to get the attention of the people it is aimed at. A [click here for training program/information] button perhaps. It could also be in BOLD text in any "Welcome To Aces High..." email when you sign up for an account. Perhaps a short, second email to a new player explaining just this facet so it does not get lost in the initial information overload new players experience.

The boards are visited by 10-15% of the online player base so IMO any type of prgoram has to be covered with things that every one sees when they login or get from HTC when they sign up for AH.

AH has the best training proggie??
You have to know it exist before you can use it. And if you can't find it to use it then it's not the best. It may be the best for the trainers, but I think the focus needs to be on the *trainees*.

IMO, Training many people does not mean they are being trained correctly, only means somone hording greenstamps for free time from HTC.

There needs to be an actual program, giving trainers free time is not a program, it's pay for running a program that doesn't exist.
