Marketing AH3 in other games.

[hazmatt]

Has anybody ever discussed AH3 while playing other games? I see discussions from time to time in games that I currently play about other games. I doubt you'd get much traction marking AH3 to people playing WoW but you might in DCS, WT, IL2 etc. I used to invite people to come play AH3 with me when I was still playing. I was just curious as it seems it might work.
Maybe I'm wrong?

I don't go out and Market AcesHigh, But from time to time the subject of other flight Sims have come up. WW2OL, Il-2, WT SIM, & Oddly Iracing Have a sizable community of former, AW, WB & AH players It seems. And more or less the answers I get when I ask why they chose their current game as opposed to something like AH, I get things like they wanted more historical matchups (Axis versus allies) they wanted something more of a combat flight simulation( Aircraft management) and unless arcade-ish.  And they were looking for something more Mission and objective focused than the furball that usually develops in Aces High.

One can see why they are racing.

That's interesting. When I ask I usually get a blank stare. Seems most have never heard of it and the ones that have are x players.

I'll probably be trading in my HOTAS for a steering wheel and pedals when my new PC is built.  I've been wanting to get into iRacing for a long time to run the different dirt series.

Iracing looks pretty realistic to me. Haven't tried so know nothing about the physics modeling. If you can get kicked out for driving too aggressively I probably would.

I bought a Logitech G29 and im happy with it. Steering was way too stiff until I found out I needed to install their control panel for the wheel and then I was able to loosen the wheel up enough to simulate a car. I have been using it on Beam.NG drive

Most of the Damned not currently in AH3 Still talk about Aces High and Air Warrior even in DCS.

I did it for a while. Ran the Mazda Miata series and was getting to be ok. Figured I could qualify, but wasnt going to win anything. Equipment seems to matter and the science behind setup for the cars is also important. For the amount of time I was spending it just wasnt worth the cost. I also found it pretty lonely. Really missed the "chit chat" of the squad/friends.

Built this just for fun

That's a pretty cool rig!

With the notable exception of Elite Dangerous, I play most games in single player mode only and am not active in their communities, so there's nobody to talk to anyway.
And while I sometimes have mentioned it in E:D and other places (it's the biggest thing in my life as a gamer after all), I would not do any kind of 'active marketing' any more, especially not to people in my timezone.

Just remember one thing about iRacing....

Learn how to mute players and put that button on your wheel.LOL

At least once a day you're going to get into a race where a wreck happens
You're going to get two drivers In a food fight on which one was wrong.
They're going to be chewing on each other's bellybutton for the next 50 laps or so.

If you don't want to listen to that crap, learn to mute.

[CAV]

LOL

The body part I used there wasn't bellybutton but I guess I can't use that part of the anatomy here.

[captain1ma]

tried Iracing, but there's not flaps or propeller. not my idea of a good time!!

There is not much chat in DCS. SRS is for relevant chat only.

I have not joined a forum like this but if I do I will promote AH. They are very different and complementary in my opinion. DCS is very strong on history and detail but with allot less action and no serious combined arms. WW2 only has 8 planes in the set.

I would especially recomend AH to anyone wanting to improve their ACM's. 1hour in the MA can be like 5 or more hours in DCS.
