LPN was here for a while, though I've not seen her recently; in fact I've not played much myself recently, I really need to get back into it.  :)

Why does it scare me to think about what Pizza might be like in Texas? LOL

So as not to be too far off topic.

What ever happened to the AOS (Ace of Spades) Squad From AW?

Had many a good fight against those guys

Who is that Fencer Guy?

Greetings all!!

Bman, Bushwacker, Quarters, Heater, HiTech, NoBaddy, Brooke, Moggy, Airmigan, LoneWolf, Stiletto, Vortex, 715 and Shaky!!! How is everyone?

Yes this is the real Fencer.  Who is that other guy?

Anyway I started AirWarrior back in January 1990 after seeing it in a small article in CGW.  It was the most fun I have had in computer gaming.  It was the people who made it so interesting.  God knows the graphics only got good when AWII came out.

I hadn't flown a flight sim since 1999, until last weekend.  My CPU went out and I built a whole new system.  This one has a game port on the back that fits my CH throttle and flight stick.  So I was tustling with some Migs for a couple hours.

Got Bman's email a couple days ago and downloaded AH2.  Boy did I enjoy taxing that Mustang out onto the runway.  Now if I could just program my controls!

Went to England in 1999.  Visited a little place called Duxford.  But the highlight of the trip was a stop at a small village called Debden.  Talked to a local antique dealer and found that the old 4th FG base was down the street inside a British Army UBX base.  Alas I was able to see it and got my picture at the end of the old runway.  Just stood there and let the wind blow across the field.  Man what a moving moment in my life.  Wish I could have seen it in 1944-45.

So is anyone actually playing this Sim or are we just stealing HTs BB space?

Speaking of BB it has been a year or so since I talked to him.  He was staying at a friends house in Texas.  If anyone wants I can try and contact him, I believe I have his cell number still.

Well it was great to see you all.  So to speak.

Cheers!

Fencer, I've just six words for ya...

Damn glad to see ya, boy!

Yes, I been flying here for 2 weeks...its a lot different from AW...not harder, necessarily, just different. Major differences are engine tourque and gunnery. but those two kinda cause me to suck here .

Better news is that I'm getting the hang of it. The old manuvers are starting to work again as I learn to incorporate a finer degree of trottle management than was needed in AW. Gunnery is coming back as I get used to the smaller target and the need to use rudders at all times, even if its just enough pressure to keep the ball centered. trim control os becoming automatic, thanks to some real life pilot training.

You, sir, would have fun here, I think. AH2 would reward your patient, stalking style of fighting well, its certainly more suited to that than the old yank and bank furball style fighting. There's enough old FR AW players here to sate that old appettite for sure, and the loudmouth dweebs are as enteraining as always.

Howdy Fencer. I quit AW in '95 and didnt play a game of any type until for some reason I tried AH in '04. I did not have much trouble with the flight model, but my SA took a while to get up to speed. Gunnery was the largest challenge for me by far, I could put myself in a position to kill soon after I started playing, but I couldnt hit anything.

Shaky is right, you would do just fine after a bit of time scraping the rust off. The thing that is needed most in games like AW and AH is the ability to think in 3D and visualize what is going on. You already have that, and as Shaky is finding out, you just have to get yourself sharp again.

PS: The P-51 is much....MUCH better than it was in AW. :)

I'm an AW boat person, took me 2 months to adjust to icon ranges, view differences, and lead shooting.
But now I can nail any plane that breaks on my jug 400 out.

the P-47 is 4x the plane in AH that it was in AW

btw..FU Fencer, I ended up CO of 4thFG for too many years :)...why did you leave?!?!

Yup, the P-51 is better than it was in AW, but it was a good plane there, the P-47 in AH is so much better than the AW P-47 its like its a totally different plane.

Wow! What a great read! Brings back old memories. I don't go back in AW as far as some of you but I do remember some of your names.  

I flew for about 4 years , then Ea squashed AW.  Not even a notice. Just tried to log on one day and AW was gone. Pretty sad, and pretty bad buisiness by those bastages to not even fore warn people who had been paying customers for years.

Anyway, I flew bz as RMS, and PNT over the course of my time in AW.

Started out with the ^Flying Skunks^.

BTW, while looking through my AW stuff I ran across this pic. I don't remember where or how I got it but some of probably remember these guys. I remember LPN. She was tough but a lot of fun.

Warbirds until about 2003

In AW I flew in FR with
a number of squds

Sharks, Damned, Warbegles, nomads ( i think the memory is faded for those times except the 400 credit card bills)

IN AW i flew as Chi  and in WB i flew as Maddog.
