Actually TheWobble, some people are indirectly trying to point a couple of things out to you.

Mainly, your web page doesn't really have anything to offer that can't be found on the HTC web site.  The main point to a web site is offering something new and creative.  The popular sim sites aren't simply re-hash, they are always serving a purpose.  Newbie related stuff, advanced aircraft statistics, advanced scoring documentation and so forth.

There really isn't a need to sit here and trash your web site.  You are working on something you like.  Its just that you may want to try to find a niche and fit in there.

I like doing web pages too.  It just never even remotely occured to me to do an AH site.  There are so many people that know so more about so many more facets of the game, that any attempt by me would look amateur in comparison.  I think yours may fall victim to this too.

Lance (Gordo) is representing his football team and his page actually serves a purpose.  Its very nicely done too Lance (second one ).  I came up with a web page on gaming under NT 4.0 one time.  Nobody else had one and it actually became a refuge for hidden work gamers across the world.  It got half a million hits and it looked like total crap.  It was simply incredibly usefull... usefull enough to actually get me into PC Gamer magazine (LONG BEFORE YOU FISHU! MUAHAHAHA)

Think about what you want the page to do.  If you can simply add a link to someone that's already done the same page, then do it.  No need to be repetitive.  Instead be creative.

yes good point, I have asked myself the same question, but I really dont know what to gear it twords.. I will probably make it geared to learinging the game, seeing the massive influx of newbies AH has been having, however I have been having to drive to Austin every day for meetings and havent had much of a chance to do much more work.  plus people putting up messages just to say "it sucks" doesent really make me feel like messing with it either.  I dont mind critisism as long as it is followed by a reason or an idea not just  "it sucks"  but then again.....football player.

Actually, you may want to stay away from the training aspect of the game.  Stick to what you know.

I know that you play H2H so that you don't have to pay to play.  As a result, you don't really have much time in the arena.  It deters from any real credentials you could get as someone that would be qualified to train.

How about sticking to what you know.. hosting H2H games.  Find out some specific information on what types of connections you need to host x amount of players and so forth.  Maybe see if you can find out what computer settings are optimal for hosting and playing.  That type of stuff.  Stick to what you know.

deja, i did fly the MA for quite a while, and I would dare to say i am defenatly good enough to instruct newbies, id say skills are more important in this game than $30 a month.  I am probably going to concentrate on divebombing, heavy bombers and E-fighting.  Topics such as what alt to come in at with a given plane to get a good angle and speed for a dive bomb attack on a cv...etc, of course the basic dogfight manuevers and do's and dont's, I will of course cover H2H hosting and do's and donts there aswell (that is a good idea, thanks) the hard part im finding is getting good pictures of tactics, ya cant do them offline mode and when your fighting someone its hard to get a good screen, but im working on it.  Been real buisy latley though so its on the back burner.  Thanks for the help though.

Gordo that Flash site looks cool dude!

Wobble, a dedicatd site on H2H would be usefull, if dne well, you could maybe get linked on the HTC links page, who knows...

hehehe, working on ours btw, not much content so far, it's just a portal to our Squad... here : http://eismeer.port5.com/index.php

PS: pages load slowly on this URL, it's the only Free & Banner free PHP server I could find. I'll get it on a decent one when the site's fully up

Good start, wobble. I tend to agree with Deja (gasp!), though - find a niche that isn't served. You sound like you've got some good ideas with tactics.

On the pics pages, you might really want to consider making thumbnails of the pics available, that link to the full pic. That fighters page is just huge on images. I'm on cable, and hit Stop long before it was done downloading because of the time it was taking.

Also, and this is a personal note, I hate embedded music in web pages
