New player/easy kills :)
« on: April 26, 2005, 09:51:28 AM »
New to the game and just wanted to say 'hi'. I'm very new to online flight sims but not nearly as new to flight sims in general. I've played most of the microsoft suite of sims but only ever versus the computer or the very few of my friends interested in the genre.

I've been trying to get a feel for what the dos and don'ts are from some other welcome threads that I've seen so please let me know if I'm doing something that is generally frowned upon. My handle is the same as in here, 'wonton'. See everyone in the skies.

Welcome.  

You will probably get shot down ALOT for a while but don't let it get to you....learn from it & have fun.

Thanks everyone, I'm finding this to be addicting right from the get-go. Here I am at work thinking about the fights I had last night. I need a life, hehe.

Learning curve is as steep as you guys are stating. I think I only got one kill and realized he was probably on his way to the ground as it was.

This is soooo much different than playing with 3 friends on a LAN, but I like it :D

Quick question: Are all the planes always available in the main arena? I noticed the combat theater only had certain ones to choose from, which I kind of liked.

You will find fiting , dying and learning a lot more fun than
Booming and Zooming and running back to your base.

Sooo my advice is to remember it's a game that some people are better at than others---go to the DA--or better yet contact the trainers.
The more time you spend engaged the quicker yu learn and in my opinion the more enjoyable it will be.

Welcome Wonton!

Give it a couple weeks...you'll notice big chunks of improvement.
Then you'll bump into someone who'll give you a whoopin that will remotivate you to learn more...and so commences the cycle.

just so everybody knows, the correct word is 'addictive'
not 'addicting'.   We made the language. my english may not be perfect, but 'addicting' sounds awful.

not picking on anyone wonton :) , just about the thousanth time i've seen it spelt that way.

carry on.

;)



edit: if anyone says anything negative about me, ignore them, they are lying ok. and dont ever listen to anything 'Furball' says, he doesnt even know who hes talking to or what hes saying most of the time.  and definitely pay no attention to 'batfink', he is furball's evil master.


if someone shoots you down get in a plane before you type anything.

our oldest pilot is a lady of 82 years of age, and the youngest certainly below double digits.

the safest chat room on the net. not too many pshycotics play....
