I called Hitech about the AFK/ENY function. Any player inactive on the keyboard or joystick for more than 5 minutes, is classified as AFK. They then drop out of the ENY calculation. When ever they become active again in the above conditions, they are then included in the calculation.

So if we are in a plne auto climbnig and my #1 bathroom break turns into a #2 (usually does) I would be AFK and not affect ENY? That feels odd to me if I am already in the air.

Or is it just people not in a plane, GV or gun?

Also where is teh newest patch? Do i have to download the whiole thing again

Maybe you could get some adult diapers? That way you can make sure you're doing your part to make the game worse for someone else who can't get a plane because of eny.  Lol.

I mean, you're already flying your plane right? You might as well have a negative effect on someone else while you're out taking a dump.

The second you move the joystick or keyboard, you are no longer AFK.

Weird thing tonight on ENY

Bish had a high bomber formation crossing 4 sectors

Bish had 29 in flight
Knits had 18
Rooks logged down to 14

Knits got hit with ENY, we could not up 163 mission

Bish should have had ENY

Sweet!

Please add…
5. AWACS only available in tower.

This.  Seeing dot dar everywhere while in flight ruined my immersion and desire to fly AH.  FWIW, this change alone would likely get me back in the AH skies.

Glad to hear you're back to coding for AH, Dale.  Wishing you well.

I’d wager you’re one of many prior customers who would consider a return with this one compromise.
