Sign Me Up...I want *Real* Guns

[Hobo]

Hello old WB friends and foes and well as those from other sims.  The Bum is ready to come to the "Darkside".  Someone said the guns are a tad bit stronger here and that has drawn my attention.

Hopefully I will see you soon.  Any newbie tips you can share?

Then maybe at the closing of the day
The bars will all be serving German lager
Which means we won the war - hip hip hooray!

Don't expect the "Wonder Gunnery" that you've enjoyed in WB's.  I had gunnery of about  .25 in WB's, here  I have .05, if that tells you anything.  I DO fly alot of cannon-equipped A/C, which may explain it.(not compensating enough for bullet  drop)

Bo!!!

About time.  

Biggest differences are the flight model, and graphics.  Just takes some flying and dying to get used to them.  Ack is deadly.  Also, expect to get bounced at 25k -- from above.  Be glad to spend some practice time in the TA with ya.

You're welcome to fly with the MOL, while you are learning the ropes.  We'll watch yer butt (as usual).

Um...Buy low, sell high?  

Welcome Hobo! We'd love to have you fly in 308 Squadron, just send an email to funked@warbirds.org.

Or, if you end up in the **MOL**, that would be groovy, too. We both fly for the Rooks.

Hi Hobo,

Hope you enjoy AcesHigh.  

Take your time and give it a few weeks to really get the feel of the entire sim and community.

I think you will like it.

Take advantage of the "Zoom" feature.  This helps gunnery alot until you get inside of d150.  The zoom is also zoomable.

Default keys:
z = zoom
[ ] = zoom in / out

Hibo!!

Glad to see you again. As Yeager said, give the game at least 2 weeks. The FM is way diff. and will require some mods to your WB style and memory. But as most of us WB transfers, you will like the FM after some period of time. BTW the FTs would welcome a Barney to the ranks

Howdy Hobo, sorry we moved the town on ya, but.... welcome home!
