if AH is getting boring maybe you're spending too much time playing it.. just a thought.

Wlfgang I am barely playing as it is. I really do like the game but I feel as if there just isnt anything fun for me. So I'm asking for new suggestions.

there was a post about this sort of a few weeks back....

try hunting 1 player or squad.

for example choose the III/Jabostaffel

look for a squad member to land and find what they are flying. then goto the front of that country and try to just pick out who they might be.

if im fighting the knights for example, i look for a 109 flying a certain way. it might be a certain member of a squad i wont name that we the III/Jabostaffel have a relationship with. i'll try to pick out that 109 and isolate him for a 1-1 fight.

another idea is to try and kill only 1 type of plane for a night/week. choose B17's for example and get up high in a 190 or other buff killer and patrol. see how many you can get before you get killed. or try killing only typhoons all night. they are easy to find .... but evade all other fighters... thats NOT so easy.

oh well my 2¢

I understand Grun. I barely play any more either.

it's RL for me.. ski season, hockey season, etc..
maybe all ya' need is a RL diversion .
It makes flying fun for me again even though I suck worse than ever because I never fly.. it IS more fun

After playing AH - go out and buy all the other Flight Sims -

WW2OL (I'm still pissed I payed 50 for it) I need a CRAY to run it

IL-2 (great damage model, but something about FM feels weird)

CFS3 ( I took this back although I dug some of the new planes)
FM is horrible

Moral is - I end up right back at AH, not because of the best graphics, damage modeling or FM, but community, playability and diversity

TIR is ok. It not a top notch product like F12002 - definately needs some brushing up - and the driving physics are much more arcade-like (the AWD cars almost NEVER lose adhesion) but its fun - theres a nice carrer mode where different teams bid for you as a driver depending on your performance - sounds are good - the engine note of the Panoz is incredible. I cant say I would recommend it though - you'd be better off downloading the GT mod for F12002 (do a search, link is listed on this BBS somewhere)

WT - I dont think Ive played LFS is about a month - I think my best lap was somwehere about there in the FWD car. My plate says "944 Turbo" say hi if you see me.

A bunch of us MAWs went to the DA about a week or 2 ago and went to crookedest caynon layout we could find.

We all spawned 163s facing the canyon with engines off. On the count of 3 we all started engines, lifted off, and raced NOE (200ft AGL) thru the canyon.

TOTAL BLAST !!! ... for some of us ... literally

Well, on the rare occasions that I just don't feel excited about WW2 fighter v fighter combat, I just go do some Real Life task that I'm not that thrilled about doing.

Cleaning the basement and putting away the wife's 2, 321 Christmas decorations for example.

A little bit of RL makes me pine for an AH furball.

Maybe you're just playing too much... it can happen. Do some RL junk for a while and the allure may come back.

Got something like it already - the Sports Car GT package from RSDG.Net along with their Sebring and LeMans tracks. Total blast! I race Sebring almost to the exclusion of the other tracks because I've been to Sebring several times and get a kick driving past the viewing berms where I've sat.

Ok, that's the sort of info I was looking for. I'll pass on TIR and do some more d/ling of mods.

Pace yourself Grun. Try some other games between AH cravings. For a complete change, Sphincter Cell is to be releasd for the PC in a day or so. I already ordered my copy.. the demo kicked bellybutton and I can't wait.

Check it out ^

aside from other games...

I heard something about news concerning future updates being posted early this week (eagerly anticipating the me410). That should give ya something to look forward to. The mission arena is SURE to change things... no more MA nonsense for a while.
