I agree WldThing...you know most of us pilots have learned from our mistakes and our mistakes alone, sure many of us had trainers. I have, WldThing has, I have tried to get my dad to get a trainer, but he is very stubborn he says he just wants to "play the game". That's fine with me, but lemme teach you how to fly before you do that. Newbies HAVE to be willing to get help. If I was a newbie I would want every veteran to get in a room with me and teach me everything they know. Now a days noobies think they can do it themselves, they are wrong. It took some of us 3 years to get good at this game and people are still trying. People that came from other flights sims - AW, WBII/III think that they can get the flight model right away, which makes me wonder why they don't ask for help, because every game has it's own flight model.

It really depends on what the noob is asking for. If they ask questions like how to turn on the engine or fire the guns, I have no problem giving them the correct answer.

If they ask for cheat codes (and there have been times people have asked for them), well, the old ALT-F4 cheat is most appropriate to give them.

Before the timer fuses were put on the bombs, anyone who asked for cheat codes would get tuned private by me and told 'Spawn on a runway and drop a 1000lb bomb and you become invincible'. When they started crying i'd say 'Did I say invincible, i meant to say invisible

I agree anyone who asks for cheat codes deserves nothing more than that.

Create a channel "traning" that is tuned in as the first channel by default. Everyone willing to help can tune.

Oh, and increase the number of radios please

the best thing you can do for new guys is to shoot em down. And explain to em that it is uncool to sink the cv.

This solution has merit... force the new players into an environment that they can get response to questions in a fair manner and Squelch channel 1 by default.... maybe even a default training channel V...

rod you're 100% right.

Years ago I found some interesting looking game and just to see what it was like before possibly wasting a bunch of time in it, I clicked the online button. You can guess what happened.

I quit and deleted it from my hard drive. My feeling at the time was; why waste my time, let alone pay money to play a game with a bunch of jerks. I'll never understand why people go out of their way to be rude, especially when it's so easy to ignore someone here.
