I luckily stumbled across AH by watching the military channel. I don't know how long it's been around but I'm glad I found it. It will be a bit before I actually download and begin play (I REALLY need a new monitor before I even consider it) but may I suggest a newbies forum?

I dunno, I think it'd be virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the boards.

can't disagree with that

I just don't want vets to have to deal with repetative 'rook' questions

What do you wanna know about rooks?

They stink
They lack brains, proven by the high altitudes they fly at
They hate bish, but love knights
They always fight with at least 2 wingmen
They stink
Their women and sheep are ugly

Same applies to knights, bish are the good ones.

oh trust me I will once I get set up

in order to get involved I need to make a few changes to my comp that I've been putting off but now that I have a good reason I'll expedite the process. In the interim I will be reading and learning as much as I can prior to taking first flight.

Welcome to AH Dichotomy. I realy wish more people who just sighned one were like you. Take the time to rtfm. Practice offline for about a week. Then any questions you have will be Real Questions. Enjoy:)

no worries.. do have a question for the vets...

what's the best joystick in your opinions?

Saxman · « **Reply #8 on:** July 09, 2006, 03:55:26 PM »

I'm using a CH HOTAS setup (Fighterstick + Pro Throttle, with the pedals, too).

So true !! I've been flying Rookish since the beginning and have yet to understand the jeolousy and lack of admiration for us rookies ! We tend to kill more folks than the other 2 countries combined. (every month) HiTech used to have those stats but not since the rework of the site. It was probably "PC" to not hurt the Bish and Knit's 'feelings' by allowing a superior group of pielets (ROOKS) spank them at will and then giving us the credit for all to see.

And just an FYI, we don't hate BISH or KNITS, they make wonderful barnyard pets and they taste like bacon!

And for all people wondering "Is he right?", here are the
stats for tour 77

All models have 210864 Deaths by Bishops
All models have 248940 Kills of Bishops
K/D 0.85

All models have 205643 Deaths by Knights
All models have 219993 Kills of Knights
K/D 0.94

All models have 262260 Deaths by Rooks
All models have 209834 Kills of Rooks
K/D 1.25

As you see, you can still get total kills per country from the statistic page

yes I'm giving that a look

I want pedals and independant throttle control ... realism is important

and on that note I'll take my thoughts and questions to the training forum as I think I've gotten off topic

Thanks guys I'll be joining you soon

Very Nice "Stats..." and I stand corrected. Thank you Lusche.
Seems that now we just kill more of you, (+50,000 a month) and die less (-10,000 a month). Congrats to the Bish and Knits for finally making a fight of it!

Depends on the size of your wallet

.

Let me point you to a thread in H&T section:

http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=180628&highlight=joystick

But if you need more info, just search the H&T and Hardware/Software forums for "joystick".

If you got the $$, CH setup certainly ranges among the best. Especially if you got prior flight sim experiece.

If you are a total newbie to flying (like i was 2 years ago), you might want to think about an simple stick for the first months... less buttons, less confusion and less to worry about in fight

.

And welcome to your new addiction Dichotomy! >>S<<

thanks bro.. I know I'm going to be severly addicted soon.. gonna take it slow and be prepared before messing things up for the vets

I've been looking for a WWII sim that's realistic for 5 years now and I'm in HEAVEN already

Cant wait to get in the air but might as well get equipped properly first. I don't think many WWII pilots went into battle in a Sopwith Camel
