Greetings virtual pilots

[Zuny]

I have recently decided to get back into the virtual flying world after a 2 year absence due to the evil that is Everquest.  Before that, I played AW quite a bit.  FR, country A.  I was primarily a hog pilot.  Since AW is no more I've been looking for a good sim to get in to.  I've heard that AH is my best bet.  I guess what I really want to know is how many ex-AWer are here and how do you like AH compared to AW.  I'll probably be downloading AH tonight and trying it out.  So if you see a lone pilot flying around aimlessly with a confused look on his face, have a heart

I've already been here for seven months.

Welcome to the darkside.

Hey Zuny, welcome. ex-AWers aren't so bad. Some of my best friends are ex-AWers

Greetings, Zuny-

My whole squad defected from AW, as did many others (We flew FR, Cz).

There are many AW refugees here, and the differences between the 2 games can be quite overwhelming.

The learning curve on AH is steep, so be prepared for frustration. Ask questions and you'll get fast answers (But don't fall for the Alt-F4 trick).

If you need any help, check the roster when I'm on and I'll be happy to give you a hand. My callsign is muckMAW.

If you fly Knights, ask for one of us Damned folk and we'll be happy to help.

Zuny...
You just described about half the people playing AH . I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome Zuny - lots of ex-AW's here - each country has plenty of the "old guard."

Welcome Zuny, I look forward to shooting you down!

There are hundreds of ex-AWers here.  Hi-Tech himself and Pyro are also ex-AW players from long ago.

In combat the two main differences that you will need to get used to are head-on attacks and collisions with enemy aircraft.  Just takes practice to learn how to deal with those things.

Once you learn the features of AH, which will take a while, you will find that AH is superior to AW in almost every way.

You can learn the basics off-line.  There is also training program where players can earn free AH time by training newbies, so you should be able to find someone to help you.
