I have literly spent probably a thousand hours traning people in the DA.  There is no need for an offical title.  If you really want to help people than just do so.  The rest will take care of itself.

Let no one understate the value of unofficial trainers. With just official 10 trainers, it can get a bit thin at times. I spend at least three evenings a week in the TA and try to get some time during the weekend. That does not include DA time.

TA coverage: I may log 12 hours a week training. Now, if every Trainer logs 12 hours, that adds up a total of 120 hours. Frequently, there are two trainers online at a time, so lets throw out 30 hours leaving 90 hours of TA coverage. However, some trainers don't get close to 12 hours a week. So, lets revise that number down by another 20 hours. So, let's say there is 70 hours of Trainer coverage per week. That leaves 98 hours when there are no Trainers in the TA.

Here's another factor. When working with brand-new players who need to be walked through set-up and basic flying, the Trainer can only work effectively with one person at a time. It seems that there is always one person in the TA who needs that level of assistance.

Contributions by players are not just helpful, they are necessary and greatly appreciated by everyone.

Silat I need some coaching. I was protecting field A25 I was flying a hurricane and was swarmed by 12 enemies. C47 approaching our leveled town. La-7 took my aileron My fuel was hit and oil splash on windshield.

I can get the C-47 but out of nowhere a spit comes HO with me. I remember the Top Trainer "Ted Stryker" from aces high in TA area say never HO under any situation. So I backed off and I tried to avoid which I did.  The C-47 had just enough time to reverse and as I take a second approach another con comes in for the HO I avoid the HO again due to the supreme allied Trainer Ted Stryker's voice in My Head "My son You shall never HO under any condition." By this time the trrops were dropped and we lost the field and also the war. In the transition of Host disconected my computer crashed and My holdings in Enron well you know the rest.......

So Silat, should I have just ho'd the spit and than killed the Goon c-47? I feel my training was flawed.

First off c 47's are a deadly ENEMA. I have died many times to their superior firepower. You should have rammed the spit then as you are falling to earth whined profusely on channel 200 so the whole arena knew that you were the victim of an injustice of immense magnitude.

Secondly the only voice in your head should be mine reminding you to refresh my drink.

Thirdly stay out of the stock market and buy much duct tape to protect you from terrorist attack.

Fourth and most impoTENT buy my TEEN SQUELCH HACK which now works on anyone under 26 years of age. If you buy now you get a 10% off coupon to Muttonbone.com. All this for only $.36.

And most importantly, do not drink the koolaid before a mission.

And where is TED? Name change perhaps?
I dont feel normal unless Im being stalked and criticized:)
