New to AH - needs training
« on: November 01, 2012, 12:04:15 AM »
Hi, with my renewed interest CFS's I found this game. I remembered commercials for it from years ago and I'm happy to find it still around. I jumped into this game confident from my days in the late '90's in games I don't remember the names of and slightly more recently in MSCFS Euro/Pac, only to find I'm either not nearly as decent as I thought I was or I have forgotten much. Anyhow, I have read all the wiki's on planes that give me trouble as my opponent and also on the planes I like to fly. The two things I'm struggling most with are engagement tactics from both offensively & defensively and blind spot/SA issues. Just as an example, say I'm in a Dora and I see a Spit or P51D at a distance, I'm at a loss as to how to go about an angle of attack. I usually feel like bait out there on a barbless hook.

I'm usually a late night type, US west coast time, however I'm flexible and can try to work with any schedule.

Thanks,

Mark

I'm sure a trainer will be around ,but one thing your talking about is merges which is my bread and butter in game, and would be happy to wing up in TA or anywhere to run threw some basics.Fell free to pm me here or look me up online.
The game has a steep learning curve but you looking for training is a great first step.
Good Luck.

Welcome to Aces High, RotBaron ( Mark ),

When you say late night / us west coast time.... what times are you referring to? would
that be like 11pm 12am PST??? ( which is 2am to 3am EST )

giving us a possible posted set of times will help the Training corps find / get you some help

Feel free to post here and also pm any trainer, for anything you need help with, Sir

 Rotbaron,

  I can usually be found in the training arena between 9pm and 11 pm est. most weekday evenings.

  If you log into the TA,check the roster,it will tell you who's logged on in the arena.

Thanks for the responses. I'll look for you in the TA's. The times that are most suitable for me would usually be M-F 9pm(AZ/Mountain time after this weekend) until several hours later. AZ doesn't go on daylight savings. During the weekend I have even more flexibility.

Thanks,
Mark
