 Yes, we've all done it, takeoff and climb to altitude, see a furball
ahead and below and dive down into it. As we rocket through with our
controls frozen, dutifully counting all 256 shades of gray, we're bound to ask
- "why did I bother getting altitude in the first place?"...

 AND

 Those times when we've come across a bogey, alone and below, we zoom
to take his energy away and he drives knee deep up the ol spinkster and
gives the lunch a smoldering lead ride up thru the cranium...
 
 That's right folks, we're talking Dweeb Evolution on today's Special
Edition Presentation of –

      The Horaldo Show!

Ho: Thank you, thank you, let's get right to it. My guests today are,
to my right, Dr. Frank Richo...

Dr. Frank: RIZHO, FRANK RIZHO. Open your friggin ears, Jerky.

Ho: oh, sorry about that, Dr. Frank Rizho, noted Dweebolontoligist and author of the book "From Sine Waves to Fish Hooks, Advancement of the Modern Dweeb in the Air Warrior Environment, *******."

Riz: That's right, fruitcake.

Ho: And to my left, allow me to introduce Mr. Raynard du Homebois, Expert Energy Extractor from...?

Ray: France. Yo, I'm from France, Horaldo. And I wanna say what up to my moms and all the fellas back in France. Yo... what up France.

Ho: Ah, yes, France... well, welcome to the show gentlemen, glad to have you with us.

Ray: What up.

Riz: Alright, tough guy, don't you make me get up now.

Ho: Dr. Rizho, I've been reading your book...

Riz: Really? Well I'm very proud of ya.

Ho: ... and I must say that I'm very impressed with your knowledge of early dweebdom behavior....

Riz: Listen, peachpit, I've had just about enough of your crap. Give ME the dam microphone and SIT DOWN before I start ripping chunks off of this chair and beatin you over the pointed dweeb head with em.... you'll be sittin there with your shoes off and big old chunks of aluminum and wire and whatnot all sticking out of your head, dripping blood and tears... don't get me started with you, rubberneck.

Ho: ah, well, ok... why don't we break for a commercial...

Ray: Commercial?

Riz: Hey pal, I ain't got time to be sittin here while you're off selling some of that whatever the hell liquid fence cleaning soap and them fruit salads in a can crap there... I got roots to canal, fishes to fry, if ya know what I mean there, forkball.

Ho: ... and it will give our audience a chance to download the file funtime.zip, are you gentlemen familiar with the film funtime.cam?

Ray: Familiar? Man, that was real, you know what I'm sayin? It ain't no
familiar, man, heh, I lived it! That's what I'm talkin about.

Riz: What are you kidding me? I produced and directed the friggin thing. I'm there and all out there and everything... tossin around friggin deli plates and yellin and screamin - "YOU, yeah YOU wormnuts, move that friggin camera over HERE" and everything... I got em runnin around like Chinese hotcakes out there... yeah, I know funtime.cam there, chuck chopped.

Ho: Ok, we're back. Dr. Rizho, please tell us about your book.

Riz: Whoa, you're really pushin it there, peat moss. Tell ya what,here's
the deal. Soon after the dweebs learned to fly they started to hear
crap like altitude and energy and speed and all that there whatnot... and
when they get their snots vulched right out of their heads a few times,
their brains there begin to develop and they learn not to takeoff straight
up into a capped field. So ya got your dweebs there and now they're
learning to lift from a rear field, get some altitude, and come in there with
the, like, advantage there. You follow?

 Too bad.   So here he comes now, he starts at the bottom from takeoff,
climbs up and gets some alt in the middle, he sees the fight ahead and
below, dives back to the bottom at the fight, and zoom climb extends
out there at the end there. Like a sine wave, right, chip beef?

 Talk about asking for a beating! I mean jeez, he screams through the
furball, usually on an angle heading down, cooking off shots going
everyfrigginwhich way like a dam jiffy-pop... extends and pulls up,
then here the guy is at the end of his zoom, just coming over the top
and he's gonna run smack into some drooling enemas heading to the
fight he just buzzed... looking to give him a belly fulla lead right
between the eyes.

 If that ain't enough, wallowing around blind in enema territory, he's
also got the furball between him and home... but he's dead before he
gets there, so that's good. Now here's where the fishhook part comes
in there, tuna roll.

 Instead of cooking down through the furball and riding it out heading
out into enema-land, some advanced dweebs began to fly over the fight,
checking out the perimeter to see what else was coming along, matching
dots to counters or radar or that there whatnot... and then diving
down, getting speed and aiming to be level with the highest dots at 2k con
range, this time heading toward friendly territory.

 So, from the top they fly over the fight, out into enema territory,
and then dive back down, level out and blow through the fight... the path
now like a fishhook.

 Minor adjustments as they pass through the fight, smoke em if they
got em, and if not, well then cheez-wiz they can climb extend with their
back covered in friendly territory, that's what.

That there funtime.cam starts as the dweeb is flying over the fight.
Hepicks out what's happening all around and makes his hook there, diving
through and recovering in friendly territory. That one small procedure
represents another rung on that there evolutionary chain ladder there.

Ho: Thank you Dr. Rizho. We're going to take a short break and when we come back we'll talk with Mr. Homebois about energy extraction.

Ho: Welcome back. Ray, tell me, what makes an Energy Extraction
Expert?

Ray: Check it out Horaldo, you know there's really one thing that
helps a dweeb get a handle on this whole energy thing, and that's
experience. It's a good thing for me, else I'd be out of bidness, you know what
I'm sayin?

But just driving around drilling holes in the sky ain't gonna help a
whole lot neither, see what I'm sayin? Yo, I'm climbing along, 4k CR,
170 IAS, and blink, there's an enema dot ahead, maybe 2k alt lower.
I drop climb to bout 1k, maybe even level and WEP... depends. This is
the heart of the deal right here. In the time it takes him to go from
dot range to con range, woohaa, I got his energy state.

A dweebs gotta pay strict attention to what an enema is doing, be it
fighting another plane, extending from a zoom, or climbing into a
fight. Then he's gotta use what he's seeing with his own two eyes,
and know what to do with it.

Here's one - a whole mess of dots ahead fighting. You get close and
one comes out of the pack into con range. You have only the icon
range scrolling down to help you determine his energy. Ok, it was
fast, you are moving fast and as far as you can tell he's also
moving pretty fast. You have a small alt advantage.

Often a dweeb will think "I'm fast, I can zoom", but in this
situation you really must treat it like a duel. If you zoom in front
of a plane that's co-e it will just follow you up and keel you.
Me, I'm pushin the nose down to get every drop of speed, going nose
to nose with the enema, and working on him from there.

 So we merge and I'm really moving, feeling good about going vertical
I head up. Turns out he hasn't got quite as much energy as I do and I
can work him over from above. A slow plane is easy to hit and hard to
maneuver, so that's what we're after. Diving down on him, he turns to
make you face him nose to nose, he has to face you each time you make
a pass.

As he comes out of his turn he'll be slow, a hard 180 degree reverse
will burn energy no matter what he's flying. The important thing to
do now is keep the pressure on. If you fly off or zoom too far away,
he's going nose down level and stuffin that energy all right back in
his plane. You come back, he's got good energy and can snap a turn
right back and make you go nose to nose again. Nothing gained.

What to do is to keep on him. Keep pulling him up and keep making him
turn. The not-so-good dweebs will attempt to follow right away and
become easy pickins. The better dweebs will make it a contest and use
every second of free time trying to catch up with your energy. They
will
gain energy between each pass. Your job is to reduce the amount they
can gain while causing them to burn more in evading.

Ho: Quickly Ray, can you give it to us in a nutshell?

Ray: Sure Horaldo... Say you see a dude on the street. The dude is
all nasty lookin, worn out clothes and stuff. He could be a bum, or he
could be a rich dude tryin to look like a bum. The only way to be sure
that the dude ain't gots no money is to stick your own dam hands in
his pockets and take it. And, while you taking the dudes money don't
turn your back on him or he'll stuff it all back in his pockets again.
You know what I'm sayin.

Ho: That's all the lines we have for today folks... join us next time
when the topic of our show will be - Keel to Death Ratios, Smart Flying
or Running Dweeb?

 Guests on today's show will receive gift certificates from Stang-Rite
Parts and Accessories. At Stang-Rite, "We keep C-Land running".

contender seemed to be America Online, but Delphi's prices looked
good, too.  Then America Online announced cheap flat-fee access
to everything including Air Warrior, and a huge number of people
flooded into the game.  This caused the same cry heard when the
EGA DOS-version of Air Warrior came out:  "The skies will be
clogged to overflowing with dweebs!"  Again, it was true for a
time, but I believe that it will pass as people gain experience
-- as the transient dies out -- just as it did way back when.


I flew the first time on Fool's genie account. FR was 17 on my MAC but Damn!!! What a game! I ended up with a Cris account as it was only $2.99 a hour if I remember rightly (old age setting in).

I was going to add the the new MAC version went into beta for almost a year before it came out on AOL for what was supposed to be an 18 month contract. Many AH flyers today joined the rest of our dweeb community during the beta days. I'm pretty sure it went into beta a lil before the PC version was out of beta and went live.

Ya know, looking back to those old days it was a lot of flying back then even if the graphics have gotten better...IMHO it's like getting your first car. You'll never forget it. :)

Nice thread, BTW!

... Live, from C-Land, it's RegressorFest '91 ...

Well it's a beautiful nite here in C-Land. Up here at 20K you no longer smell
the sheep or the vaseline. At about midnight we're in for a really spectacular
show - the Regressors will be up on the wing.

And here they are. What a sight, what a sight. About a dozen of the best that
the Lobotomy School For The Blind could patch up for tonight. They're
staggering to their planes, climbing in, yelling at their mechanics,
remembering that they have to start the engines first, appoligizing to the
mechanics, and taxiing out.

And it looks like they're going to attack Bee-Land. Well, at 12:2 odds, this
should be quite a fight. But look up there. Why there's about 8 or 10 A's
diving on the Regressor formation. This wasn't on the schedule. (sounds of
death and destruction in copious quantity) Wow, looks like the Regressors are
all dead ... that must rank as teh best 20 seconds of live action television
ever.

Wait! They're trying to take off again! And the A's are on them. They're
trying to get a B17 up - don't they see the enemy fighters over their field?
*BOOM* Guess not. We can see Mullah in the tower talking to his countrymen,
let's listen in: "You stupid piles of afterbirth - you're  giving away points!
You're letting the other side win!" Oh, and it looks like the Regressors are
answering: "Duhhhh, shaddup Mul, if you no like it you can move to sum udder
country, duhhh." And Mullah just shot the radiom - and now he's reaching into
a foot-locker, pulling out an SA-7 hand-held AA Missile and firing it up the
backside of the Regressor A26 that's taxiing. BOOOOOOOM. Wow, technicolor!

Well, C2 just got detroyed and the Regressors are reported to have left  their
planes. There they are - down in the sheep pen - what a wild sight a dozen
pilots running wild amidst a flock of rather tired looking sheep. Damn - looks
like the sheep keep outmanouevering the Regressors too. There, a Rehgressor
seems to have caught his "true love." Whoa - he seems to be doing that all
wrong - how can that poor sheep breath - yuck.

That about wraps it up for tonight. This has been RegressorFest '91, brought
to you by Vaseline and the American Sheep Farmers Association. Next week we'll
bring you live highligts (from the same place, and the same squadron) of "Up
With Dweebs '91." Sure to be a real slaughter.

Seeeeeee ya ....

Just feed a kitten into the Cuisinart, Mul. It's the right thing to do, and a
tasty way to do it (or whatever that old puke sez on the Quaker Bloats ad).

I thought THIS was the place we were supposed to call each other names? Wish I'd known there was another. Trashing Regressors is almost as much fun as shooting them down. Almost. It's certainly more cost-effective to do them in en masse here in the RT than over in Warpsville, USA.

Hey ... what's this piece of wool doing on this Regressor's beer can? That is
sooooo sick. That's ... that's ... Ovine Harrasment!!!! A major problem,
awrighty. Whoa ... Senator Hatch just burst a vessel in his forehead at the
very mention of it. Gush, gush, gush. Damn ... that was pretty nice lookin'
wallpaper too.

So, like, when do we get D-land, anyway?

Crap. Mul's getting hate mail from the GEstapo and I"M NOT! Something is
definately wrong here.

Yes, all of us non-Regressors were, at one time, for a brief time, beginners.
But, unlike the semi-evolved sewer-suckers we know and love (to kill), we
didn't delude ourselves with the notion that 50 of us posed any more of a
threat than one of us. Not that I want to dissuade Grey Ugly and his merry
crew of target drones from pressing onward. I do so love to kill massive
numbers of brain-drained little dweeblets. When we see the 17 or so of 'em
sitting in C20 we all start to salivate profusely - we see's our supper.

And don't ferget that fer dessert we have:

(heh..this one kills me: )

Folks,
   I want to clear up a misconception.  You are welcome to insult each other's personnas.  It is part of the game and I understand that.   However, there is a fine line between insulting a personna and insulting the person behind the personna.  Please be careful in doing this.  IT is best if you keep your insults tactful and humorous.
 
To repeat, you CAN insult a personna.  You can insult their favorite sheep,
goat, cow, dog or cat.  Just don't insult the person behind the personna.
