-was horribly outflown by everyone...

Debrody, look in your settings folder. For example, C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III\settings\chfighterstickusb.jsm if you're using a CH products Fighter stick pro. It's a text file of your stick mapping. You'll find your joystick setting there. First line is mode 1, second is mode 2 etc. at each hat direction or button. Same for the throttle, and rudder pedals.
Then practice over the weekend and if you can, on Monday, fly Monday Night Madness in the AvA at 5 pm EST. You'll die A-LOT the first hour and a half or so, with 26 fighters confined in about 3 square miles, but then it'll start coming back. For weekend practice, there is a H2H room running 24/7 named "Free New Player Tiny Arena". It has lots of ground targets to practice against until someone comes in but watch the enemy ground ack, it's set to 20 times normal.
I don't know your time zone, but US afternoons and prime EST it takes about 30 minutes for someone to come into that room.
The 109f-4 is enabled for both sides.
Also Spit 5, 110c-4, and for GVs, the M8 and Jeep. That's all, no perkies.

Welcome back

 :cheers:

I'm contemplating subbing aswell I looked at DCS but I don't feel like getting a pilot license to play a game.

For now I'm stalking the numbers in the MA, the lowest I've seen it dip is in the 30's, wich is a big improvement over a few months ago....

Furball was playing a week or two ago. Other than him, Joach1m was the last BK but that was a year or two ago.

This is what i am missing the most, only a very few are playing from those who were dedicated 1v1 monsters 10 years ago. Koth would be awesome, but my weird timezone does not allow me to take part.

 :salute I can't believe it's been decades.

I'm also winding myself back into the addiction.  I'm about to buy a full new rig, and securing all the necessary clearances from the squadron CO (the wife) to jump back into the virtual cockpit. 

Hope to see you soon.
