Newbee
« on: August 01, 2012, 01:04:15 PM »
Hi all..
Well, just getting used to this so please bear with me.  In looking around, I notice views from outside the aircraft, both watching a formation moving along through the topography and also the ac being flown.  What keystrokes are used to get there?  Looks like a great game and each time I get shot down, I learn a bit more as to how to get a little farther.  So any help or tips would be appreciated.  Why is it that when sometimes I try to takeoff from a field, it says that "You cannot fly your aircraft from that field"?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

Welcome to the madness. 

If I were you, I would start here http://www.hitechcreations.com/Help-Section/Getting-Started/aces-high-help-start.html  After you know all that is in there, come to the forums. 

Also, there is a "help and training" folder which may be a good place to post questions.  Some of the folks that visit the forums are, well, not nice, and simplistic questions like the one you posed might get a nasty response.  (sorry, but you can't control the web forum trolls)

 :salute and have fun.

F3 and F5 for external views, but only bombers do have that in flight, fighters can use it while taxiing on the ground only.

"You cannot fly your aircraft from that field" happens either because -

- It's a vehicle base or a port and the Fi-156 is the only plane enabled there
- All hangars of a certain plane type on the airfield you are on have been (temporarily) destroyed
- You are trying to fly a plane that's generally not available on most bases (Me 163) or not being used in that arena (late war planes in early war, WW1 planes in late war, and so on)

Regardless of reason, planes and GV which are not available are marked in red on the list in hangar.

Welcome to the addiction wingtank. Lusche's post answers all your posted questions really well, the best advice I can give is use the "Alt R" key combo to film your sorties, then watch your film later to learn more about what you did right and wrong, and how you beat or lost to the red guys.

Good luck and have fun  :salute

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

Welcome - also note that you cannot look outside in anything but transports and bombers in the main arena. Welcome to the madness. Steep learning curve, but its allot of fun.

HTC added a warning box to make sure you really wanted to quit the game that way. If you don't believe me, try it...they got tired of all the jerks spewing that tired old meme and were probably losing business because of it.

Welcome!! :salute  As others have recommended visit the trainers site.  This game takes a bit of investment into really see why its so great.  Be prepared to crash alot, and then alot more in the process of learning it ;)

Welcome and ...the first six months is going to be a lot of learning.  Do not be afraid to ask questions but do not get upset if you get ribbed a little.
