The help file isn't a tutorial, no a part of the interface, is it?

This game really isn't hard to figure out... it only took me a few minutes to figure out how to map stick functions, and a few minutes more to get my wheels off the ground. I sucked horribly, but the basics really aren't hard to figure out if you have anything remotely resembling intelligence. And if your spit got outturned by a 47.... it's because you're new and suck (no offense.. we all suck at first), and the 47 wasn't.

Hell, I've been playing this game for years and I use auto-takeoff

Cuts down on the number of buttons I have to push.

You think AH is difficult to comprehend? Try Lock On Modern Air Combat! Took my several days just to figure out how to launch a missle. Every freaking plane has it's own weapons systems, and every weapons systems takes hours/days to figure out. AH is cake, man, point and click.

There is a link in the AH start menu entitled "Getting started with AH". If that's not a tutorial, I'll be a monkeys uncle. I'll agree on the interactive mouse-over tips on ingame stuff though. But I'd rather they finish TOD 1st. And add some more graphics eye candy, etc....

Skevj, you've found the tutorial. It's the community

Little trolling going on here.

This isn't a new guy. Infact his first account was back in 2003.

A solid tutorial is something HT could farm out ... you can do some pretty awesome stuff with Flash these days (video, etc), which is gobs easier than integrating such a thing into the coad.

There is lots of good help out there ... Soda's plane analysis page is a great one. Problem is finding it all and then taking so many points of view and coming up with a good notion of "what to do" isn't so easy.

And there are two kinds of help being discussed here - one is basic game mechanics, and the other is tactics and survival skills. The former is pretty easy, the latter isn't. I used to give online help sessions in AW (many, many, many moons ago ... GEnie days) and getting people thinking the right way isn't always a quick process.

Maybe I'll start importing some of my old help files into my Wiki as a starting point.

Troll or not aside, I think some of the points in here hold merit.

Most notably, of course, being Morpheus' excellent newbie tutorial guide.

Judging from that last statement and the fact that you said the exact thng this morning to me when my 47n shot down your spit9 after you dove from 5k above me.I would say that your name is........................... ............................. ............................. ............................. ...

You are far in the minority when it comes to wishing to have a RR arena.

You get RR when you enable auto takeoff and the stallnoob limiter.
