people you are glad that helped you
« on: November 14, 2014, 03:41:10 AM »
I remember when I was a new guy and had built my first puter and couldnt log in.  game would crash every time.  it was like 1 am and posted a post in the technical support.  within 5 minute silat  asked me to post a dxdiag.  then he explained to me that I didnt yet have set up my sound card.  10 minutes later I was up and running.

second was an unknown guy that very carefully explained to me that the hangar I was dropping all my bombs and rockets on was the indestructible, but he said that I was dropping my bombs right on target and that was the important thing.

My brother introduced me to Aces High and I haven't left the house much since then.  He's saved me thousand$$$ on dating women way out of my league, that I would always be ending up home alone anyway.  :cheers:

NRShida, Dolby, RedBull, Fudmukkr, Latrobe, Barkhorn, all of my squadmates: F77, 50CALMG, Rollya. There are probably many others, but these are those who I give credit to for improving my flying and keeping me sane and ingame.

Citabria/Fester back in 99/2000. 

Also Agent360, back in the mid 2000s he was one of the better G10/k4 pilots, and made a lot of great help videos back before making videos was popular and common.

I would also say for new players, guys like VuduVince/Vudu15/etc  don't get enough credit for the work and time they put into "new guy" training videos.

Wldthing for showing me how to be good at it and bringing me into the Muppets.
Bighorn for always being there to help shake off the rust whenever I decided to come back.
XtremeJ and Morph for being 2 of the best wingies I've ever had in this game back when the Muppets were basically just us 3.
GHI for being one of the better sports in this game and showing that no vulched base is as safe as it might seem....
