If you are a paying subscriber then you can also visit the Training Arena along with the Main Arenas.

There is usually a trainer in the Training Arena (TA) that is more than willing to help you learn anything and everything.

You don't have to be a paying subscriber to go to the Training Arena. You can go there during your two week trial period.

I would still recommend a few weeks of playing offline first.

Dont worry about "bothering" us. I wouldnt be in the Trainer Corps if i felt bothered by being asked questions, and im pretty sure the rest of our small group feels the same. Also, there are lots of other longtime players that are very helpful and will answer you any time you ask.


AH is an online game meant to be played interacting with other human players. The offline mode is rather trist and the drones do no more then circle (they are not even flying... youll note that when you shoot a wing off them, theyll still keep going). I recommend that as soon as you feel comfy in taking off and flying (or maybe even earlier) you get yourself online in the Training Arena. Lots more fun to learn with company and also a bunch easier being able to simply ask instead of trying to figure out everything on your own. You have a two week online free trial for you to decide if you like the game and the community - after that, you have to subscribe or be restricted to offline/8-Player Mode.

Ill probably be in the Training Arena later tonight (im Euro, so thats afternoon East Coast). If you want to schedule some time with a Trainer, just email us at Trainers @ Hitechcreations.com with your ingame name and times you are available (time zone!) - well get back with you.



Welcome to AH!

You can also use zoom mode, z key and then ] and [, to move the whole field of view inwards. Do that once to locate and read the gauges.
 

You can also use Page Up and Page Down for "looking at" the lower gauges. The default cockpit views are less than ideal in most cases. As you move from plane to plane, use the Page Up/Down, along with the arrow (up,down,left,right) to find you preferred view for each view angle. Once you have what you like, save that view with F10 and it will be saved in the "settings" folder of the AH main directory.

Good luck and welcome aboard.
