Lusche,

The game will not be the same without you.

Find a way to forgive us and jump back in. We are the better for it.

Love your humor in a bustr wall kind of way .......  :aok

This is a good start, but I would like to add some important things that have so far been left out.

We should get rid of the planes altogether.  Flying airplanes is only a lead up to arguing (based on unresearched notions of aerodynamics, engineering, and history) about what planes can and cannot do.  We need to cut out the irrelevant preparatory material and skip right to the meat.

The age limit should be at least 50.  We shouldn't have any of those "wet behind the ears" 40 year olds wandering around, tripping over their sagging, befouled diapers.

Change the game to run on 1990's-vintage computers so that we don't have to hear any more complaints about not getting 60 fps on a Pentium II machine with built-in graphics.

Start running HTC based on suggestions from whatever portion of the player base has no experience in business, marketing, software development, and game design -- as that is bound to be where there are ideas not yet spoiled by the constraints of the real world.

Wish list?

GVs are fun and good practice for pilots to straif and precision bomb moving targets, aeroplanes had bombs for this purpose so use them, this is a flight sim for our and HTC's sake, kids like to play games too, this is not real combat and just a form of spatial reasoning skills contest, and shouldn't you post these on the wish list? :headscratch:

After your mommy and daddy have tucked you in bed and read you your bed time story, ask them what 'sarcasm' means.

However tongue in cheek most of the original post may be, I read through it and I'm pretty damn sure I am not the only one to think at least a few suggestions were worthy of considersation :old:

Probably not, but there isn't a single actual good idea in the lot.  All of these things have been asked for over the years, often multiple times by different people, yet they are all ill informed and would be bad for the game.

Which was Lusche's point of course.  He just compiled a disparate group of bad ideas into a single list of horribleness.

Sad thing is, this is just a compilation of other's actual whines...err I mean wishes.

All of these things have been asked for over the years, often multiple times by different people


^^^ This. ^^^

There isn't a single original thought in my original post. I just remembered some of the worst ideas that popped up repeatedly over the years and put it in a single post.
I expected the occasional laugh and then other players to add other "fixes" for AH they have heard of. I'm rather perplexed by the fact that anybody who has followed the BBS and my post history in particular could take it seriously  :huh


Bored? A tad attention-starved?  :D

16,644 posts in ~8 years... obviously I suffer from chronic boredom and attention starvation  :P

- don't let Germans try and have a sense of humour.  

A man can't just do charts all the time ... cut me some slack!  :old:

I am not the GOD of AH but just feel like you should maybe reset your standards.

You wouldn't believe how low my standards are.
Losers can't be chosers...  :uhoh

I am German and gorgeous  

This is self-contradicting.


snail forgot a few tho..

more engine micromanagement!!

Dang! You are right How could I forget THAT one?  :bhead

Granted I am pretty much the bottom of the social ladder, and can even be called scum..

Hello neighbour!  :aok

Lusche,
The game will not be the same without you.
Find a way to forgive us and jump back in. We are the better for it.

But im still here on the BBS! Just not in the arenas ;)
