It was a definite "us vs. them" mentality back then with the AW'ers being blamed for everything under the Sun.

ack-ack

I don't recall that but maybe it was because it took me two weeks to figure out where the auto-pilot was and I was so busy constantly trimming to maintain level flight with my hands off the stick.   :uhoh
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I do remember not feeling entirely welcome when I came over from AW. I also remember seeing negative comments in the text buffer about those of us that had made the "great exodus".
 
I try to help the FA'ers or any newb, for that matter, make the transition as best that I can for that very reason.

I spent my first month or so here digging up info for anyone who wanted it (mostly my Mafia buds  :aok ) on a web page (still think I have the files for those pages on a disk around here.....) and tried to explain the "hows" and "why's" in as simple a way I could so it wouldn't be so over whelming for those coming over from AWIII. There was a lot of animosity because we were ruining the combat  :)

I think the way FA and HTC worked things out was much better. Shows class on both ends. They both deserve a big  :salute

Yeah okay not meaning to upset anyone. I am fairly new to AH2 from FA myself, it is mainly just that I find a confusing number of forums here when I go searching for anything. BTW I also got an account over in WB, and they have an FA forum with zero messages in it on their menu!
