Hi there!

My days are very busy, as I'm sure many of yours are as well. When I do have the luxury of some down time, I turn to my favorite diversion...the AH BBS.

Now try to understand, I have flown these multi-player online WW2 flightsims since AWDOS, some 10-11 years ago. I have seen alot, heard alot and learned alot about the sims, the communities and the changes which are sure to take place, given the passage of enough time.

Having ended up here in AH after all of these years, I am just delighted with the progress that has been made compared to what the products were like back in the day. Graphics, FM's, DM's, etc. Just the fact that 400+ people can fly online against each other, all while talking in real time on VOX is, to me, amazing in of itself.

Now, when I read posts about the damage model being off or the flight model of a particular aircraft not being precise or the wrong upholstery on the seat of a Hurricane, I think to myself, what in the world is wrong with these people? Don't they know how good they have it?

So the next time I chime in and say someting to you that might offend you, try and understand that you're whinin and I'm just happy to be here:)

Whew...I feel better now....to be understood is a good thing:)

Rude...

If we all sat back and said oh this is great, lets never try and improve what we have.....

You would still be flyin AWDOS.

The road to where we are today is paved with statements, bug reports, and suggestions. Without em AH wouldn't exist

Is this a whine cunningly disquised as "clarity"?

Exactly what a stone-age man would think seeing us to protest about a flight cancelation.

Compared to the "improved" Air Warrior's that came aftwerwards (eye candy/big AOL audience/Gamestorm/EA) AWDOS was about as good as it got IMO

Of course changes and suggestions are required, and they are actually monitored here and made as time warrants. The endless stream of opinionated whines (no test data, etc.) designed to make one's favored aircraft do things it wasn't known for because of the pliot's inflexible flying styles gets pretty old. As do some of the recent digs at HTC because certain people seem to feel "slighted" by not getting their every whim responded to by HiTech or Pyro and feel a need to grumbel at meaningless issues.
