I think he may be talking about the one we was using when we flew together. I can link it.

Heh, I bet most don't even get your "Frank Savage" post, oldma... Or even know who he is


Or more importantly the real person his character was based upon.  :salute

Wouldn't mind going at it against you, nrshida, if I can find time after I get back from my 2nd Florida trip in less than 2 weeks...am heading back down I  the morning....

Yeah good. Hoping for some stiff competition. Timing's good, I'm back in the workshop dismantling the family car this week  :salute


Last few times I was online, I stopped by the MPA, even tried to get others to come join....couldn't get in takers.....

Hmmm, I'm getting a theory. Or is it the flu, sometimes feels the same  :rofl

Sorry man. Haven't had time to even research how it works. Do you have to pay for channels?

What can be infered from this thread receiving 829 views but so few coming to the MPA? That there is some interest in theory?

I'll make a limited offer. If I can beat you five times in a row including the first fight then I'll teach you intermediate merging techniques and tactical approaches to the 1-on-1. It's a good deal, take it  :)

When are you in the MPA. I havent been there..ever. I have hit a wall when it comes to my skill level, so more than willing to try and learn some new stuff. Seems after you hit that wall, defeats become exponentially harder to deal with. Frustration factor really sets in

I'm unfortuantely placed in Timezones. I'm on CET (Central European Time) and I can usually only play in my daytimes. That would be say between 3-9 a.m. Texas time.

If there's anyway you can get on sometime then, I'd be happy to help.  :salute

What is a match play arena? http://www.hitechcreations.com/gameinfo/gameinfo-arenas I see it in arena list when log on but don`t see any set up information etc. How does it differ from dueling arena? Just curious. Going against the unknown in MA is a lot more exiting than any set up one-on-one duel IMHO and I get plenty 1v1 over there.

What is A.C.M.? if its what I think it is I only know 1 move It usally don't work though. esp. with P-47M's that can shoot you down from 1K out.

I guarantee if you invest some time learning in the MPA, it'd eventually translate to more success / enjoyment in the MA.

Those arena descriptions are terribly out of date. Someone ought to report that as a bug...


Well Astrix I used to be in the DA a lot before I came to the MA. The MPA differs mainly in 3 respects:

1 - You just choose to go there. If there are opponents in there you join the queue and just fly - no talking, no smack-talk, no MA handbag arguments to bring you there, no MA ego-melting consequences when you're finished. Nice clean fights.

2 - Air spawing just compresses the ACM massively. No takeoffs and tiresome climbouts. You spawn into visual range and begin your merge. Every hour in there is really really dense ACM.

3 - In the past the duelling fields of the DA were almost exclusively same plane duelling. That's not the culture which has now emerged in the MPA (which is fascinating in itself). The most popular fights are 1-on-1 mixed plane matches. So you have an exciting mix of fans of particular aircraft with different levels of ACM knowledge competing.

I have thousands of hours in my favourite plane. I daresay in the last 7 years there aren't any players who match it. However only in the last few months have I ever been driven to explore tactics, plane control and ACM as much as I have duelling experts in different types. If you can just see the result being not being the number of kills / deaths scored and consider it instead to be what you learn about your plane and yourself, you'll win everytime!

Zack is bald by the way...

It is not random, it is set in the terrain with a spawn points. The arena cycles threw all of its spawn points.
