You're going to have many questions.  Each one is going to cause another.

I would heartily suggest visiting the training forum, or entering the training arena for a quick run through with the staff in there.

As for your immediate questions, / button opens the chat buffer and there isn't a best plane to start with.  Just start grabbing them and have fun.

But trust me on the training arena, just get it over with, you will be much happier in a far shorter time than trying to wing it.

Aces High has a built in voice system. Hitting and holding the F12 key will transmit on room/range channel and t key transmit on the tunable channel, radio 5 or radio V as shown in the message window.
As mentioned, instructions on setup are available in the help file or at the Trainers website: http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/

Best help you can get for this game is a trainer in the TA. A few minutes in there and you'll know everything you need to.

To text to people use the / key to open text buffer (as ROC said) type what you want and hit enter. You can alos use a combinations of alt /, shift /, and ctrl / for a wider variety of text options. You can also set these text keys to your liking (such as / key text to country abd crtl / text on range). You can also speak to people by using the F12 key and T key. F12 you can talk to anyone within a certain range of you, and T key lets you talk to people on the same chanel as you (which you can set in the text buffer. The last box is your channel).

I read all the help sites before downloading game. Then read them again, and still had questions. Most were simply and figured out from trial and error, others were answered by a couple players that helped me out my first couple months.

1 year in and i still have questions.

I fly in the Bishop country under Tex01, don't hesitate to ask questions if you see me.

Many of us are here to help you. When I started, I messed around with many fighters/bombers until I found a nitch I liked. After three years, I still get shot down A LOT.:D

Don't hesitate to ask questions, and read up on the help files.

Very good advice Fuzeman but might want to mention that he will need a Mic to talk into while doing this. Trust me I've seen it on the text channel someone complaining.

newb: "why cant anyone here me"
responder: are you pushing F12 key when talking?
newb: yes
responder: is your mute button on?  
newb: mute button?
responder: yes the mute button for your Mic?
newb: I don't have a Mic!

Duh!

I'm very disappointed that everyone has been so helpful so far.  Now just STOP!

First read the help pages.... then go online and go to the training arena. Doing this before you go fly alot is a good idea to get the basics and to help you fly before you develope alot of bad habits.

The best plane to start with is the Spit 16.

P-51D is the second best.

See ya,

Most definately. I do admit I forget about those minor details at times.

E key to start the engine was mine and I refused to admit it.  

I remember sitting in my pretty p38, off line, a clear blue sky, and those delightful drones circling the base going 'how the ____ do I start this thing?'.  Once I figured that out and got up in the air I discovered that the p38 is only forgiving to a new pilot on takeoff.  After that she's a deceitful treacherous !#%!$^ that flops to the ground at the most inopportune moment.  

Reminds me of my ex to be honest :D

Same Boomer that was flying in Warbirds for a while?  Either way, welcome, and to be honest, joining a squad is probably the least painful way to learn the ropes in here.  Us Avengers are hiring pilots at the moment and don't mind new guys in the game; if interested drop me a private message.  How's that for a shameless plug?
