Welcome wonton.

If you go to netaces.org they have a printable quick reference guide that might aid you getting familer with commands. Under 'whats new' there are printable maps that show what different objects are on the airfield. There are also helpful articles.

Speaking of helpful articles, there are also some at the 479th Library

I'll add one 'frowned upon' tip. Dont shoot at planes that someone else has already shot the wing(s) or entire tail off of. By doing so its possible to take credit away from the one who diabled the plane, which isnt a good way to make new friends.

Thanks again guys. And thanks mudr for the link. LOTS of info there that I was wondering about. This should keep me busy until I head home and fly

I don't think the guy I shot down was missing his wings but he was smoking, I assume he was old enough. But thanks for the heads-up on that one, I'll be sure to refrain in the future.

The best advice I can give it to not let the steep learning curve get you down and cause you to quit. When I came into MMOL flight sims I planned on schooling everyone since I'd beaten every boxed sim ever made. Now, about ten years later I am getting more kills than deaths but doing VERY little schooling...LOL.

There are guys here that have been playing online since the 80s! Stick it out and you'll "get it".

i was waiting for that.

the problem is not so much spelling, as using words that actually exist.

not 'addicting'. We made the language. my english may not be perfect, but 'addicting' sounds awful.

It's thousandth and psychotics. There is also nothing wrong with saying addicting.

You dweeb.

Thanks again for the welcome everyone. As far as what country I fly for, is it a bad thing to change countries to even up the numbers or is it typical to stick to one country all the time?

Been flying in the combat arena a lot lately and having a lot of fun there. It's definitely considered good form in there to even things up but the main arean has so many people I wonder if it matters.

mechanic · « **Reply #26 on:** May 01, 2005, 10:58:53 AM »

hehe!

look Ma, i caught something!

nah, joke.

seriously, i just think its been used in the wrong context.

my spelling is obviously not so good tho, so i'll be quiet now and crawl back under my rock

....addictive is surely the correct word....

Hi Wonton. Welcome.

Yes, the CT (combat theater) has a limited planeset that is meant to be historically accurate. In the MA (main arena) all planes are available all the time, except for perk planes, which you have to save up points to fly.

Evening up numbers in any arena is generally a good idea, but in the MA it usually doesn't matter too much if one person switches sides. Look for good fights in your country, and if there are none, switch teams. Or eventually when you find a squad or just a few guys you work well with, stick with that country for a while.

And as for shooting a smoking plane, that's often okay. Planes can take engine damage, start smoking, and still be dangerous for a few minutes before their engine dies. Obviously, if the plane is fluttering into the ground don't shoot, but if its still flying and got all of its pieces, shoot away.
