Why I left!

[Traveler]

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.

Didn't say anything about honesty please don't put words in my mouth.  What I said was that lunaticfringe statement and here it is again:

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?

was not the best way to attract and retain new players.

[Shuffler]

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

Wiley.

I would love to see him come back and give it a go again, just not under false pretenses. The whole idea is to have fun here.

[Slade]

but when the game made my front screen impossible to see through because of an oil hit...I left.

I'd love it and play more often if oil hits did not effect the plane vision so badly.  Sigh...

and the answer is: don't get hit in the engine! acm is your friend

[Ack-Ack]

Oil on windscreen from oil leaks was far worse than it is now, it was almost impossible to see out of a few plane's cockpits.

Here is a bit of  trivia....  oil hits were not introduced to impede the vision of the pilot, it was actually put in as a forethought to letting us upload out pic for our pilot. Some of us are not that handsome so the oil keeps others from having to see us.... I mean you. Uhummm.

it was annoying, and while there was a long list of reasons to quit this game, oil leaks weren’t really one of them.

[SuperDud]

I was a turnfighter (and one of the better ones) for a long time.

I disagree

Holy chit, it's Manx.  Looks like I stepped in just in time to catch the cat draggin all kinds in.  Oil Manx?  Really?  I left for several reasons, mostly because of the split arenas, failure to evolve, cesspools, and other more sensitive issues better left alone. Guess the cesspool is gone. Yay.

What you don't like realistic? Probably one of the dumbest reason I have read about why people leave the game. Trust me I know from first hand experience in real live flying real airplanes when oil hits the windscreen you cannot see manure out of it. You fly and land the best way you can by looking out the sides or opening a side window and hoping you can find the runway. 

What I referred to was with AH II (I think), where if you were in a turnfight with someone, and a 109 buzzed you and hit you once....all you would see was oil in your screen. You would end up losing the fight because you couldn't see what the hell was happening. That is the time a lot of us left to go to other games.

My point is not to defeat the game, but to let Hitech know why some of us left so that he is informed. Nothing more.

The date shown in the forum has nothing to do with when someone joins the game. I was in the game 3 years before I ever joined this forum.

And you are the Lazerr. I noticed we both joined the game in 2002 .
Good to see you again. I was wondering if you were the same person I knew long ago.
