you really do like to talk in nonsensical circles...twice now i've offered you the opportunity to present an alternative that fits between the main arena arcade and the no enemy icons,

you're icon question isn't valid...

...until a better alternative is provided, that is what we have to work with.

again, if you have a better idea that doesn't involve using main arena standards...post it.


as for your gamey acm...full flaps, below stall speed on the deck, wheels down touch and go on the side of a hill in a p-47 against a zeke, to name just one instance that sits at the front of memory pool...most of the time i just chalk the arcade maneuvers up to the "whatever" realm but, that was the lamest thing i've seen...even a noob like me wouldn't go that far to keep from getting shot down.

1. you're not in a position to either make an offer to me or qualify it.
2. my question was very valid - you simply know you can't answer it any way that wouldn't substantiate my assertions.
3. again it's not up to you to put qualifications on what opinions I might offer.
4. oh, the touch and go on the hill (not sure i even actually touched down, but I can assure you it's possible in real life under the right circumstances) and it was an idea that occurred to me in the situation, not like I do that kind of thing all the time nor could it be considered "acm."  Just *one* instance.. that you can recall... I see... nice try tho'.  might I suggest you enroll in your local jr. college and take logic and/or debating?

anyhoo... I see no reason to continue this discussion with you, so i'll just wipe you off my heel (not big enough to reach my ankle) and move on.

i got 1 question for you guys.

do you move into a race track, knowing there's loud cars there pretty much every night, and expect the track to change to suit you?
or move in near an airport, knowing there's airplanes taking off, and expect pilots to not fly, because it bothers ya?(some just tried this at kvay....they were told to go pound sand)


well if you want to play it that way, the CT (AvA) and even AvA was never originally operated that way. The silly rednecks came in and took over and put their track there and HT allowed it because it was far enough away from his more lucrative customers. Sort of like a ghetto, ya know?  And to think, you guys want to see some developments that draw in more people who will raise the standards - whatever they might be... Who in their right mind would build a new house right next to an airport or racetrack? People who don't know any better because that's all they know, bless their hearts - or those too poor to live in the nicer areas.  Me? I just like slumming. :aok

nice to see you gomers trying to drown out differing opinions with stupid posts and pictures (well, except the hot chick ones.)  You're lucky i'm not penguin.  :noid

But I like pictures, too... have you seen this one, yet?

the airport reference i made.....i'll have to take a couple pics of the development i was referencing. to give you an idea though......

launch runway 26. at 500ft agl, make right turn, heading for pattern. at this point, you're doing 65kts, 500ft agl, turning, so you tend to almost "linger" over this spot as you turn.
 there was a development going up right under there. 10 houses. i kept mentioning them to people i was flying with, saying they'd complain, although there was absolutley no way they could NOT know there was planes passing overhead, as 26 is our calm wind runway, and there's always flights going in and out fo the airport.
 they did complain, but the state owns the airport.....so their complaints kinda fell on deaf ears.

 the race track scenario i mentioned....that was atco raceway about 20 years ago. same thing. people KNEW there was a track, with racing going on at least 3 nights a week, if not more.
 on the busier bracket nights, it often went to midnight or later. people complained after moving in near a dragstrip.....and in this instance they won.

alrighty then, continuing with the airport/dragstrip theme... the AvA is the house built next to them, cuz you guys sure complain when the MA "spills over" into the AVA.

If anything, you're trying to pass off the AvA as a gated community - and it's full of glass houses.  :neener:

bad news twinkie...i'm in a better position to make the offer and qualify it than you are to act like you know what you're talking about.

well, look at what you said... in both incidences there were complaints, in one - ignored, in the second, listened to and adjustments made.

did i understand it incorrectly?  bear in mind *you* don't own the AvA, HTC does... the staff is just the landlord until new ones are chosen, the rest of us merely tenents who can vote with our feet or wallet.

and again, bear in mind the AvA has been around a lot longer than the no-icon setting and nothing is set in stone, right?  right?

any comment on the graph?

how about answering the other question I posed - Would you quit the AvA if icons were brought back?

the one in the bottom pic.....i had asked him if it still only had the hand crank starter, because i noticed the hole for it.

 i think his response was something like "are you #$@% crazy?!"

 then he said it was still there, but he had added an electric starter too.

one of my customers bought this for his wife.....
