Hello All
« on: June 13, 2018, 08:22:47 AM »
I recently ditched the consoles and moved back to PC gaming. Picked up a new HOTAS setup yesterday, and looking to get back into things. I used to fly Air Warrior back in the old days (DOS, Windows, 2, 3), and can't find anything out there close to it, except for this. Looking forward to getting smoked by you guys while I relearn how to fly...where's that old Robert Shaw book?

Fighter Combat Tactics and Maneuvering by Robert L. Shaw is still in print. 

If a site is posting a PDF of that book, they may be doing so without permission.  If they are doing it with permission, then they need to say so.

Welcome to AH :salute
Many of us were AW pilots back in the day, you might find some old friends here.  I was Qwik there too, with the JV44 squad on the AZ country.  What name were you flying under?

Welcome to AH. I was an FA pilot.

I'll be back in game as soon as my home is finished from hurricane Harvey.

Wow. Fighter Aces - that brings back memories. :)

TTM - welcome to Aces High.  We're mostly normal around here and all come from a wide range of backgrounds and beginnings of MMO flight combat simulations.

Watch out for the sharks though - you can easily identify them as they mostly wear Dr. Seuss hats (and nothing else)...

Welcome.

As important as strategy is, getting your settings for your stick, views, gun convergence, and researching performance data on your favorite planes might have a bigger effect on your success.
