Hiya Nark and Soup. Been thinking about Nark lately - as my office is next door to your colleagues in Charlottesville. If you ever come down on business, let me know ;-)

And Moggy, when you are going to start flying here? Huh? When? Needs to be sooner than two weeks!

Not sure - having left the hell that was AOL, I'm now back in the game development biz (as opposed to web development, which was all I did at AOL - I managed the design, development and launch of the videogames.aol.com area, which was interesting, but not game dev), so I'm pretty durn busy at the moment.

No, I can't say what I'm working on yet, but it has nothing to do with airplanes ;-)

I gave AH a shot a while back, and while it's an awesome, amazing game, and my tactics were still there, getting the mechanics (making the plane do what I wanted and the bullets go where I wanted) back online was going to require time and effort I just didn't have at that point. Getting those mechanics back to at least the point where I can join up for some scenarios, though, is on my list of 'things I want to do'.

hey moggy!-long time

I went up last night and found the game pretty cool-esp the vox

trying to figure out which plane to stick with and figure out what planes to aviod in certian situations...

Wow, I didnt know this game existed, saw a patch for it on gamespot and came by to check it out and what do i find, a bunch of old Air Warriors still hanging around. I start reading this thread and I see a bunch of old cz and bz hanging around, and so many names I remember from my air war days.

I wonder if any of you remember me from those days. I originally started on compuserve when it was there and moved over to Aol when it went free and eventually to Gamestorm up thru AW3 or so. When I went to aol I started the 69th Screaming Eagles (69th SE) in Az land. I remember having a great time killing you nomads and the others that hung around. My cpid on compuserve was Vader, on Aohell and gamestorm it was ussually Vadr or +Vadr.

So how does this game compare to the old Airwar days? Before gamestorm that is. I really started to dislike things after it moved there. Many people online and playing nightly? If so I think I may just download and see how the P-38 flys again. LOL, although I'm probably back to dweeb status after all these years.

Hey Vader... it's like ol home week here, nice to see you. I recall the handle. Myself and "JetDoc" had the VMF-696 Diamondbacks in FR at AOL flyin Cz only, never cared much for them Az, much less the Bz , anyway, join up, this is somewhere between AW and WB in how it feels, you'll love it, most of the ol Air Warriors are lurking here somewhere

Hey Mike aka VadR aka Whirl

how goes it. Mike AH is better than AW....but differn't too! CWA has a top squad here...and you will see some other 69th-SE here too! The 38 comes in 3 versions here...38G, 38J and 38L....fun planes! LouMan aka LouMn

Yes, %Tazz...the % was the ASB's identifier. He was a farmer from Pennsylvania.

Met Tony when he came out to Sacramento years back. Great guy!

Soup:

Yeah, I believe that as well. Despite the bad graphics of AW I did trick myself into saying how realistic they look on several ocasions way back lol. I guess everything in life is like that plus Air Warrior was such an amazing thing to fight other people in the virtual sky wow! This was during a time when I thought chatting online to someone miles away was amazing.

I'm sure no matter how good any future game is it won't hold the same place as AirWarrior did and as time passes we forget any flaws it had and only remember the great things about it. Forget the moments of frustration especially during the 'newb' days and remember only our greatest triumphs. I'm just glad I found out about the game when I did and was able to take part in it

I remember reading so much information about air warrior, aircraft performance tips, guides anything I could for hours no matter if they were intended for a newbie or an expert. I'd watch films over and over again trying to learn all I could. I don't think I've approached any other game with that type of dedication.

Gonz:

Thats certainly what I need to do, I usually just lobo going with the flow. Often my time is limited so I don't get much flying time or time dedicated to learning the finer details of the game itself but one of these days I'm gonna look into joining a squad and taking the time to learn all aspects of the game.

I do know that squads are what makes any game fun. Nothing like having a good wingie going into a fight way outnumbered and coming out ontop. Although even when I'm in a squad this rarely happens due to my lobo tendancies lol.

Manx:

Yeah, I play both games. Checking your site after this post and I'll register on the forums or something. I've noticed over the years in WW2OL quite a few old AW Squads, 555th etc. I still believe though that Ace's High is a far better flight sim but WW2OL is very unique and even with the flight problems it is fun.

I'd be cool to fly with you guys sometime although I fly Axis.. Can't give up my dear 109 even if it's nerfed to hell

. I'm glad HTC finally fixed the 109s in AH though so nice now.

I'm fine Mike O'

Missed ya man! I don't want to be pushey or anything.....I'f you get in the game and are looking for a great 38 squad I'm in it! The 475th "Satans Angels" we fly in Rook terra....named after the actual 475th that flew in the pacific! Mcdonald....McGuire....even Lindberg flew with them. The leader is named "KillinU...great guy...ask around and if ya like what ya hear about us I can hook ya up
