Simulated Aerial Combat Roundtable

Bought a little touch screen monitor. Works great with DCS and Helios. The cockpits on the touch screen are fixed and all the switches and displays work.

Very cool. The whole rig is quite nice and the cabling had to be chore to get tidy but it is.
Is that a lit coaster under the Topo Chico or a trick of the light?

[AKIron]

A coaster it is. 

Oh, not lit though. Hmmmmmmm.

I made one but never went forward with advertising it. I was not sure how moderation would go and assumed there would be some expected level of tech support/game help offered and not sure who from here that typically helps people out would be willing to migrate to a Discord and hang out. Same with reddit, to be honest.

I could see it maybe being worth the effort.  Not at a replacement for this forum but an extension.

It might develop it's own flavor.  The tech support section could maybe be a read only direction link to here and just tell them here is where you get support questions answered.

The real purpose of it is really extending your discoverability surface area.  A lot of younger player probably mostly (only?) use reddit and discord for their MP interaction. Assuming there was an interest in trying to attract younger players.  If it were just for the old folks here , I don't see much advantage. Probably a lot of animosity to the idea\platform.  It would be for reaching out to new audiences.

I play in the dark mostly and a lit coaster might do the trick.

AH has this place which serves in lieu of Discord but Discord might draw more attention. For DCS squads, Discord is a great meeting place.

An aside, I started to delete my F-14 AB video because of my antics but it got a lot of views in 3 days, for me a lot anyhow. Wife said my antics are a plus. I'll shout out a plug for AH when I get famous. 

Ya, no joke.  I would expect a dedicated AH Discord would in fact draw some folks to at least look at AH.

Tell Animl to do it.  Figure he'd be all over something like that.... after he gets over his Myocardial Infarction at a suggestion (or you) that isn't designed to sabotage AH.

I wouldn't trust that guy to run a Lemonade stand.

For an AH Discord to really take, I think it would need regular input from HiTech Creations.  Not optimistic.

I agree. There is still life in Aces High and it may evolve or provide some enjoyment and sustenance as is for a while. Dale may or may not choose to push it forward. His choice of course.

Life can crush you in many ways. God is still always there.

I don’t care what you trust.
Your flip flop personality is your own issue and anyone around you, not mine.

At least you know where I stand no matter what day it is.  I don’t flop like a fish depending on the audience. I don’t have an ego that needs pampering. I wasn’t put on earth for your approval.

I’ve been called worse, by better.

Are you talking about a fresh squeezed lemonade stand

or a two heaping scoops of country time lemonade stand?

Just goes to shows that the lessons learned in AH apply to other sims.

Heh.  90% of my bad decisions boils down to

"Greed Kills"  or impatience which is just "Greed for Instant Gratification".

Someday I might slowly learn from my mistakes, many 20 yo pilots took their first lesson with them to the grave.
