Let me chime in on thise, cause it was actually *me* that brought up going to the DA in that other thread.
I know what you mean TC. Me too wish that training arena was more a training place and less a hangout and fun fair for n00bs and vets alike.
But let me explain why i said DA in this case.
I cant tell how it is on US evenings. Im rarely on at those times since i fly European afternoons/nights.
*snipped the rest*.....
Schatzi, I was not and am not trying to single any individuals out, I made the statements because that is how I have always felt about it.
your original statement in the thread I took the quote from nor Iceman24's reply had anything to do with my posting this thread.
I understand the big time difference for some. I have even beared witness to the vulch festing, the ilicit vulgarity of what comes from the vulch festing in the DA.
I have read in this forum many times since 2000, that "I need help but noone is ever there in the TA", or "How come I can't find a trainer" or other things referencing the same.
Yet, for nearly the past 7 months or longer, just about any thread showing up in here will reference lets hook up in the DA, I am trying to continously improve on the Training aspect of Aces High, set aside the fact I have moved, took on a new job, aquired a few other real - life task, I am always thinking of how to improve the Training Corp of AH, working on different projects for the community. I posted this thread to ask you veteran pilots to try and start helping these people asking for help out in the TA, least until they have advanced along enough to move on to greener pastures. but even with saying that last line, I have flown flight sims for over 10 years, and dang near have been a part of some type of Training almost as long, and I can still learn new things my own self, and I can learn them in the Training arena no less.
I meant it very seriously when I posted that continously killing/shooting down certian individuals who have asked for help can lead to possibly driving them away from the game, or even cause them to take up a persona of being a smack talker because they were maybe driven to the point of that is all they have left,
these things are very rare and prob happen 1 out of 50 or 1 out of 100, but everyone deserves a chance to learn without humiliation.........and in my humble opinion if you do not humiliate your student he will gain alot more knowledge, not just the art of maneuvering a stick, but also the art of good etiquette and the right morals and or ethics........
I am simply requesting for the most part for the ones that really want to help and show someone how to do something, see if you can show them by using the Training Arena, instead of the Dueling Arena. unless you want the sense of the kill by seeing the guy you are showing how to do something, go BOOM!
Schatzi, I appreciate your comments and views/opinions.......that is what is needed to see where changes need to be made if that is the case, again Thanks
