Ok first of all if you are going to post here answers like: "why do you think I care about how do you feel" then please move away because this thread isnt for you. Thanks.

To the matter:

I dont know what happens with me or with AH... The thing is that what was the funniest entertaining thing for me only a couple of weeks ago is now for me a boring game...Maybe because I have had some personal troubles ,maybe because my stormy exit from JG2 (dont take me wrong I dont feel sorry about my leaving but still JG2 mattered a lot for me),maybe...who knows.

The thing is that now I go up and...well If I fight its okay...if I win its okay...if I die its okay...I dont matter. Because I,dont know why,have lost my interest...

I was a very competitive pilot not too long ago. Now I simply dont mind!...
What breaks me is that I DONT KNOW WHY!. AH is better now than 2 weeks ago. The community is the same, all that has made me laugh, yell, jump, shout, all what has made me happy last 5 months is just here...but I guess that its me.

I am sure many of you have noticed that I am very few time in MA lately. I still have a ladder duel to do since 5 days ago, but when I think "lets go to MA and see if F4UDOA (the challenged) is on", i simply dont feel in the mood...

I am very worried. What I used to love is not anymore like it was. And I still am wondering...why?.

and I dont know why.

Thanks for your reading...have to get this out from my chest...

Its a hormone thing.

Seriously, I think alot of us go through this from time to time. Usually, it helps to take a break for a couple weeks.

Come back, find some friends to fly with, dont take it too serious, fly for fun, ignore your score, and play it one day at a time.

I never check my score, dont care, just fly for fun with friends and I dont regret any of that at all.

Good luck on regaining your enthusiasm,
Dago

Find a good but slow sheep.

Drop ya daks, and shag the living daylights out it.

Works for me.

RAM, do you fish or bushwalk? Actually any break will do

.
Take a week away from the computer, get as far away as you can from it. Go camping, hiking or something, get some soul-time, cave-time, thinking time.
Philosophise a bit and maybe AH will fall into the right perspective for you.
Take this advice with a grain of salt, it might not work for you. It works for me though

.
Hope you get through the blues.

Cheers

I am afraid that some summer bug has bite you, Ram and infected you with some 'summer' garbage stuff.

You got the doldrums bro. Been thru it myself. Flying by yourself can get boring.

When I left WB's to come over here I flew by myself for a while, until I kidnapped some of my old squaddies from WB's

and started the old squad back up in here.

Had fun ever since.

Uhoh, I think I hear creamo coming. He's gonna rip you apart on this one.

Why do you think I care about how do you feel?

Do your duel, then give yourself a break for a couple of weeks. If you have any rush hour traffic near you in spain, get in your car, and put yourself in it. Nothing makes me yearn for a trigger to pull more than sitting in rush hour! Usually hop right on and kill stuff as soon as I get home! Oh, and don't take a real gun with you or it may quell the need before you get back to AH...good luck!

It happens to all of us RAM. Try taking a couple days off. Also try flying a different plane that you've never used before. You may find that you enjoy it more than your old ride. Ever flown the 205?

The jug is also a fine ride and is much like the 190 in many ways. Once you fly with .50s you'll never want cannons again; kills are just so much more enjoyable if it takes a little bit of effort to set up a clean shot.

The best advice I can give you is to forget your score (it doesn't make any difference being ranked 1 or 1000 ) and do whatever you want to do.

RAM,

Don't worry. I'm kinda in one of those flight-sim depressions myself right now. But the thing is, it'll wear off in about a week, or so. Trust me

Just go away from AH for awhile, and do other things. Or, just get on maybe once or twice a week. Before too long the itch will come back

Sounds like a typical case of "burnout"

I went through same thing about v1.2...
Figured I'd give tanks a good run....
surprisingly I've gotten pretty fair in them..

But a break of a week or two sounds in order... give it time..

Do what I do, I go and fly Warbirds Head to Head for a few days...then I come back..cures everything!

I *do* miss those Scenario lites, historical arena's, etc. but these local boys have been doing real well with SEA arena, two big shows on Sunday this week-end(See Special Events BBS)

RAM,

I know exactly what the problem is.
You need to want to kill the enemy. I mean really want to. Like kind of hating the enemy. Not really but you know what I mean. Since there is no historic arena in AH yet and you have recently switched countries to fly with your former rivals you just don't have anyone to kill right now. Even dueling me (We are message board rivals I guess) doesn't have the same interest that it did because we now fly together. When I fly I usually look for Udie, Zigrat, Ripsnort or you in LW planes. It adds an extra incentive to flying to chase the Luftwabbles around.
So basically what you need is either a good rivalry or a Historic arena to fly in.
