Amongst the players who've been around a while there is trust, commaraderie, sacrifice, and so on. Granted it's not of blood and sinew, but there is a reason friendships formed in AW, WB, and AH have grown beyond the game and lasted so long.

And there are those in the MA who have ethics. The problem may be that those who hold themselves to some kind of code are in the very small minority now.

The game is what you make it.

You just said a mouthful.

I spent 10 days in July traveling to England for Legends, and then staying in France, exploring Normany with people I 'met' through Airwarrior. I'd never seen them face to face until then, yet they'd become friends via that goofy game and this one. You'd have thought I'd known them forever. It was that positive of an experience.

And when two of my kids were killed in a car wreck at the end of August, the crowd from Airwarrior and those who migrated here came out of the woodwork to offer help and support. It was amazing how the community I'd become a part of through Airwarrior and then AH could do that. I don't know if I'd have made it through those first few weeks without that net to fall into outside of my immediate family.

I think that's what we keep hoping to find here in some way shape or form. A shared interest in WW2 history and aircraft that gets beyond that via the friendships formed via the game.

I don't know why it's harder to find in AH, but clearly there are those who keep trying to make it happen. It may be just me, but in the end the "community" should go beyond the game.

Okey dokey. Have it your way.

Thanks !!!

extra pickels ... cut in half please.

Cowardice and Bravery are acts ... while fear is emotion. Fear can be realized in AH, but I would very much like to see someone commit acts of bravery and/or cowardice in AH.

Ah... I see your point.

There's only one emotion I've ever felt while flying in AH. I'm not sure if it's fear. More like panic. Hands tremble. Heart pounds. Pulse throbbing in my ears. Tops of my ears turn red and heat up.

Unfortunately, I've never felt this in the MA.

This only happens during a scenario where losing an aircraft was more than just losing an aircraft. It meant game over.

It's absolutely the best feeling one can get in a game. I truly hope I can get it in ToD.

Most definately. Probably more likely to happen in a Scenario where you are in a role. You look out and the planes with you are the same type and the same group on the same mission. If you are escorting buffs, they're out there in the distance adding to the feeling. Bad guys slash through, flak goes off, planes are burning, your head is on the swivel and for those moments, the computer becomes your cockpit and it sucks you in so that within the limits of your imagination you are in the cockpit.

Been there done that a few times. Always looking for it to happen again. It is what you play the game for, hoping to retrieve that feeling.

I may be a snot nosed punk, but at least I'm not a coward. Nor have I made concessions that I am a coward.

Grow up. Boy.

LOL listen to yourself old man! You hold yourself to the highest regard while spewing the same watermelon you detest.

Fat old men acting like children are no more grown up than children acting like children.

Think about it genious, you're arguing about a game. How grown up can you be? How grown up can anyone here be? LOL Please.

Don't fool yourself. You may very well be a coward, but you'll never find out in a video game.

This just in... it's not real.

OH !!! ... its fear !!! ... no bout adoubt it !!!

I get this everytime I am in a good fight ... doesn't matter where ... I have no prerequsites for where this feeling has to take place.

Win or lose ... the adrenaline rush is what keeps bringing me back ... altho I would have to admit that the rushes are getting far an few between these days.

That is why I push ... FIGHT ... its the next best thing to sex.

You do know that "running" makes your pee-pee smaller ? ...

Well if you fly scenarios as 'good' as you fly in the MA I guess those feelings are very short lived.

PS... Zazen you don't have the cheekbones to fly a Zeke for a week much less a whole tour.
