Why I left!

[Shuffler]

I know from personal experience what landing with oil on the wind screen is like. Before that I never new engine oil was a natural laxative.

I remember you told us

[lunaticfringe]

you quit because you got oil on your windscreen, a little extreme don't you think, I mean the planes here still get oil on the windscreens, r u willing to take a chance?

Some planes are worse for vision with the oil leak, I think the typhoon might be one of the more miserable ones but I cannot remember. As far as oil and laxatives go, in WWI the rotary engines used castor oil which is in fact a laxative and a lot of it would be blown back into the pilots face when the engine was operating normally. Lovely.

Is this why they had open cockpits?

Most people would never know who I was. I think I was in the game during its prime, but even I don't know because the prime may have been at some point after.

With the Steam release and peeps trying to understand why the game had less of a population than it should I felt I should portray the vision that made me leave the game many years ago. I don't even know if this is still the case, but when the game made my front screen impossible to see through because of an oil hit...I left.

I was a turnfighter (and one of the better ones) for a long time. I loved the game, I loved the hate you get for an opponent who was as good as yourself. But that one move of adding a visual impairment to a percentage of the players who played the game a "certain" way turned me away.

I loved my time in Aces High! They are a community that I will always associate with (every few years or so), and I hope you all bring the game to what it was! I just wanted to add my two cents to clarify, that the path you all choose now determines what makes the game fun!

Stop Trolling and making excuse's !!! Buddy someone tried to Run with the 416th Lynx again but that did not last long the Original CO of that Squad needs to come back and get his Spitfire uncovered and come fly with Us Oldtimers who still fly here  . I am sure OlLimb will crap himself if he saw you back he still plays the game also along with a few others from the Golden Years of AW and here.

Cya in the Skies I hope

That's not the way to encourage past subscribers to rejoin our ranks and increase the numbers.

I have to land with oil on my screen just about every time I tangle with shuffler on Monday nights. that's assuming he doesn't put me back in the tower to shorten my trip! it is what is. if you worry that much about a little oil on the screen, maybe you should be playing candyland, not aces high.

Since when is honesty not the best policy? The guy quit because you can't see through oil... today you still can't see through oil.

If you didn't fly so close to me while pulverizing my engines with your shells, you wouldn't have oil all over your canopy....

This.  What is the correct response?  Do we need to validate his feelings more?
