For those who question embellishing.
« on: September 12, 2023, 10:17:03 PM »
I loathe doing this. Not my style. Never pull my cards until backed into a corner.  The ONLY reason I EVER talked about this stuff, was showing my skills and if they could be used to help AH out. Nothing more, nothing less.

AW

Aces High Bullitin Board from my post in 2008, edited the first part out, in a thread about ..."Re: What's with the uber maneuvers?"...
https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,237563.msg2879379.html#msg2879379

From a former AW Staff. And compared to some of the stuff they did, I was a flea.

Left out
Updated explosions, flames, and added flames to trailing smoke.
Sound pack became default in AW and AH.
Wrote XP Gamer Launcher software....etc.
Air Warrior Tech Hanger turned into AH Tech Hanger.

TequilaChaser
"...and as for Animal of the FDB "Animal" and Animl from AirWarrior

if I am not mistaken here is a link to Animl's  Help site, although it has been awhile since it has been updated:
http://www.icongrp.com/~stagemon/ah/  ( he used to host a very helpful Air Warrior Tech page, named "Air Warrior Tech Hangar" )

Lew ( Silat ), Otto,  Animl and others were on the Tech Team ffrom AW thru AWMV

my reference to his helping the community was from his volunteered offerings of  helping others setting up and diagnosing problems with Game Play, as well as assisting and being a GA, and helping as he mentioned with upgrading the damage models when AW2/AW3  did away with the "Hit Bubble"  in FR arenas mainly and testing the new damage model and correcting number of hits from differing types of gun platforms/planes etc..

Why I am posting this stuff, really is no need......... just to show he is not a Troll or shades account

below is from my old Air Warrior personnnel spreadsheets from Admin  listing AW personnel info and current privs, handles, ID's etc.... ( DmdRodan was head of Admin for AW Personnnel , back when I was Training Officer/Manager  for new Trainers and the Mentor OIC for all new Vol Staff that was invited to go thru training to become AW assistants / Tech Reps / Trainers / etc.......

( I purposely have not included some info categorys )

Concert experience
 The ONLY reason I EVER talked about this stuff, was showing my skills and if they could be used to help AH out. Nothing more, nothing less. This is not sensational to us in the biz only those outside the biz, it's normal life for us. Every sound engineer has one of these, maybe not quite extensive. Nothing special about me, no more than a carpenter or mechanic....it's just different.

Several celebrities HAVE FLOWN both AW and AH.
Marshall Tucker Band and I worked together so much were like family.
Jerry Eubanks (flute player for MTB) and I flew AW and I think maybe AH together

it's ok, many others actually act their age. And NO, I'm not returning to swim in your cess pool here. All yours. Grown mature adults don't need it.

I made a suggestion that made it into the game.

Aces high originally only had red and green as the only colors on the map. I suggested that there be two different colors for the enemy colors. The idea made it!

I'm not sure technically how it was done, because I'm an ideas person not a code monkey. But my idea made things happen!

I made a real change.

I think that one's right up there with the smoke trails.

Good, I was just going to ask if you actually ever did anything FOR the game, instead of work against it on the BBS. :)

You know it's usually not my style to list a bunch of unimportant things that have nothing to do with anything, but when I'm backed into a corner (by my own idiocy), I'll reappear and pull out all the stops, ensuring I really do look like a fool!

I mean yeah, some people might post unsolicited threatening and nasty private messages, but they really make this community what it is!

You sir are a class act!

I can't believe I know the guy who brought flame into the smoke trails!

It's kind of interesting how you stomped off after lighting yourself on fire but then came back like an All-Star to a heroes welcome!
