« on: May 12, 2007, 07:50:15 AM »
I used to play aces high a long time ago.  I wasn't all that good, but i loved the game because my dad's a pilot.  Anyway, I loved the community (for the most part) and mostly everybody was friendly.  

But, I wasn't all that great of a pilot, like I said earlier.  Unfortunately for me, I'm also only 13 years old.  Nobody would want to train me because of my age (which I think is totally gay)  And I REALLY needed training.  I think... after playing for about 5 months, I finally got a grip of the game and (if I was lucky) I could get about 2 kills a day.  

Anyway, if anybody will be willing to HELP me... I would absolutely  LOVE to play this game again.

There are actual trainers for AH and/or a training arena.  If you can hunt me down when we are both on, I'd be happy to help you out, as long as you don't act like some of the people in your age group in the game i.e. squeakers.  They spend more time making people mad and trying to be lil generals more than learning to play.  If you are serious, I'll help ya out & teach you the right way to play.  Send me a PM letting me know when you are usually on.

It might be kinda hard to catch up with her, but shcatzi is an very good instructor and a good person.http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/
Try this link for help and a list of instructors. Sadly most of this game is made up of middle age men who have grown tired of a few bad apples that have come along before you. Meaning a few "squeakers" as they are called get to excited on the radio and dont know how to act. Just have some thick skin and keep tryin.

Many in the AH community are 30-50 range.  Many have kids.  Many do not want to look after YET another kid in their life.

Cheers!

Also, read a lot of the Useful Links under Community on the AH page.  You can learn alot on how to bomb, use air combat manuevers, and find out which plane does what (turn and burn, BnZ, what is faster etc).

There's always people willing to help in the Training Arena.

USRanger summed it up really well. The squeaky 'lil generals' have turned off a lot of folks to the kids in the game, but that shouldn't discourage you. To be taken seriously you'll need a paid account, which will provide access to fly with the people in this thread who've offered to help.  More importantly, it will put you in the main arenas where you can be picked up by an older squad which will help you climb the game's step learning curve. Squads are always looking for new people that will fit in with their membership, so it all depends on if you can 'play nice' with the big kids.:aok

Luckily, I've had about 3 paid accounts already.  I'm going on my 4th.. and if I'm better this time I may get REALLY addicted.  What I love most is those big surprise missions with about 50 people.  I love those...  the enemy usually figures out what's going on and then there's a huge war

What the hell does training have to do with age?

People are unwilling to help out the idiots that come into the MA's with questions like "how do I start the engine", "what's the best plane", etc.

My advice; Read Read Read.

Read the Support/Help section above, visit the AH Trainers web-site and Netaces.  Read everything in the Help forum.  Read everything in the Aircraft and Vehicles forum.  then...

Practice Practice Practice.

Then if you still need more training sign up to meet a trainer in the TA.

Most of the rest of us are here to unwind (although some actually get wound up), kill a few cartoon airplanes and have some fun.
