Hey people. Dont know if this is the proper place to put this, but Im a new guy to Aces High. Saw a commercial for it on the Military Channel and had to go OOOH OOOH. I imediately went over too my computer and signed up and here I am.
Well my name is Jeremy and Im 26yrs old. I live in Houston, Texas and work as a security guard. I am such an aviation geek, that I made no haste in getting this game. Ive played many a online game but this looks like it will beat them all. I hope to have fun here and meet some new friends.
Well all I must hit the rack as I work third shift and I have to go to work tonight UGH. Nice to meet everyone.
Jeremy aka The Bum

(All Knights who know me, dont drink and prepare to laugh!) Hey, welcome! Would you like to join a squad??? First off, lemme tell you. Fly for the Knights. They are the best. Second, once you fly for the Knights, click the first link in my signature, send me an e-mail, and join my squad! lol. But really, if your interested, we fly for the knights, click the link, and sign up!

Nope. Revor made three or four accounts posing as a newbie and thanking himself for training who was really himself and talking about how he was the best pilot ever through the shades accounts.
-
Oh. Well, this doesnt at all seem like revor. This guy is nice! And he doesnt need a proctologist to remove his head from his arse...
-
Just wait Reynolds.
-
I will say this. I dont know who this Revor is, but I hope yall will at least give me the chance of proving myself in air combat. I know for a fact Im not the best pilot in the world, but I do like flying simulators.
-
Oh boy! The entertainment value of the BB may be ramping up again!
-
Bum,
Welcome to your new addiction! Anytime you need help /w anything, PM me. I fly alot on the days I don't work. And be ready, cause this game you'll lose sleep over, and have you doing research for days on the "best plane", and have your g/f or wife yelling in no time. And fly Knight!
Agian, welcome! :aok
BTW, I to am in security work. I'm a LT at a LA State Medium Security Prison.
If you ever have questions, concerns, or just wanna shot the breeze,
pilotknight1980@yahoo.com

It just got ramped up a notch.:rofl
-
Think I'll sit this out.
But just in case you are new to our Community.....Welcome!
To splain Buminabox we've had a person Post here under different BBS accounts in the so recent past. His Posts were somewhat similar to yours so if you are REAL please forgive us for our trepidation.
If you are Revor....how bout giving it a break eh?

very stinky bait

:rofl i love it

Yes indeed. The give away though is the use of two new user id's interacting. One of Revors favorite tactics.

I'm going to go on the premise that Bum is the real deal guys.
Bum welcome aboard. I've only been flying for a month and I'm hard core addicted. Take some time to read over the help forum for the past 6 months or so because that will answer a tone of your general questions. Check out netaces.org for more information than you can digest in a year or so but it will really ramp up your learning curve. Go to the training area and hook up with a trainer you won't regret it. This game is as complex as it gets but that's what makes it so awsome.
If you have any questions you don't feel like making public just pm me and I'll see if I have the answer.
Good luck and, again, welcome aboard.
Edit: nice to see another Texan round heya
-
its stinky and i'll tell you why. bum's first post is at 5:20 am. he says hes a 3rd shifter and must hit the rack. he posts again at 7:52 am. two hours and thirty two mins later.stinky stinky and stinky indeed.
-
Yes you've got me all, i'd like to remove all doubt, i am in fact GOD Hehehe :D

To those who think I am this 'Revor' fellow. Let me say Im not. I don't know why y'all are giving me such a hard time, but please stop it. Im no body special. Just a guy who saw the commercial and thought the game looked cool. Now if Im gonna get this much hassle on the boards, why should I even bother spending a 100 bucks for a throttle and joystick? If ya want me to stay, I will, but again if ya want me to leave, I will. Make up your minds and let me know, then I will leave.
-
You would actually leave if the game community doesn't like you?:huh
Btw you can play with mouse, if you really don't want to pay for stick and stuff

Paul there is no need to post pics of yourself to try and scare people away:D

Guys, unless you enjoy nawing on shoe leather, you might want to stop chompin on yer feet. Just FYI.
-
Bum, you just got caught in a bad place. Some of the community members get a bit worked up and paranoid from time to time (we just had to deal with a member who created some problems on the board), but are generally a good lot.
-
yea, what skuzzy said. oh, don't listen to those guys about flying for the Knites, fly Bishops, they really are the best :aok

Skuzzy, can you just ban Revors IP or whatever and tell us that you did it so we all don't get paranoid about every new guy that walks in? :D
Seriously, that boy's "wolf! wolf!" complex has made everything look a little shady, lately :rolleyes:

There has been a rash of current players posing as new noobies and making a grand entrance on the boards as of late. Alot have been burned by welcoming the new player in to the fold and offering help only to find out some dork is desperate for attention. What you are getting the backlash of those peoples nonsense. Dont play the game for what people say on the boards, play it because its fun and you like it. You dont anyones permisson for that.
-
i would like to personally apologise to you bum as i was one of the paranoid bunch. welcome, this game is awesome and there are many people who would be glad to help you. come to the training arena and you will find trainers and others myself included who will be happy to help. btw, this game has a steep learning curve so dont be discouraged.its one of the things that makes it so addicting.
-
You have the "Skuzzy Seal of Approval", so you are ok in my book.
trainers@flyaceshigh.com you can email them and setup a time for some 1 on 1 training. (much need to all new players)
Read http://www.netaces.org twice. fly for a month, then read it again.
One of the best time's to be had in Aces High is the Special Events that are run all through the week.
You can click the button at the top of your screen (it says, USER CP, REGISTER and then CALENDAR (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/calendar.php?s=) ) click the Calendar button to see what events are going on. Most of the events you can just walk on, but a few do require you to register in advance.
Welcome to one of the greatest addictions known to the world. Lemme know if ya' need any help.
Also, give it 6months. AcesHigh has a huuuuuge learning curve.
-
Welcome aboard.

Picking up on a comment you made in the other thread (I've only just read both), I would mention one thing. You don't need to plunk down $100+ for a stick/throttle combo, if you don't have one. I've been flying since AH1 came out on cheap sticks. Just stay away from gravis, and Logitech, and you should be fine. My $20.00 MS analog Precision Pro has served me well.
Do I dream of better sticks? Heck yes!! But I can get along with this just fine.
Get something cheap that can last a year or two. Make sure you're going to stick with AH (I'm sure you will) before spending mucho deniro* on gear.
* = spelling?
-
CH Pro makes some good gear too.
Welcome to AH. :)
-
Welcome to the best thing out there.
Ignore the bbs'ers , there's aa few bad apples in every crowd, and we have/have had some here also.
Be prepared to have your butt handed to you over and over, this is a normal part of the learning curve.
As a matter of fact, I still get my butt handed to me over and over, and I've been playin for a while.:D
-
Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox2 pro is another great cheap stick.
-
my favorite cheapy was a saitek cyborg 3D gold, it lasted my 4 years

OK Bum, I take back the stink-bait remark. My apologies.
-
Dont take it personal Bum... the account they were talking about got booted and it wouldn't suprise me or anybody else if the person came back under a different name etc.. like I said I'm going on the premise that you are who you say you are and will happily share my microscopic knowledge of the ins and outs of the game :)
-
:noid Hey, hes real and hes joining ME!!!:noid lol
-
Dichotomy what part of Texas are you from?
-
ha haha..
geezus christ.. you all have nothing better to do.... jk
well i agree.. i 'm a little :noid :noid :noid after the whole REVOR incidents....
hell its getting to a point when i get calls from UKNOWN numbers.. i think dammit.. REVOR!!! lol
-
TheBum, welcome to your new addiction.
The learning curve is steep, but worth the time.
And be sure to check out the other arenas from time to time as well as the Main. :)
Welcome to AH!

Bum, welcome to AH! Dont let the bumpy start fool you. Generally this is a rather nice community.
Check out the Help&Training forum. Do a search for "Joystick" - youll find lots of tips on how to choose one.
In case noone has said it yet: RTFM and http://www.netaces.org really help a *ton* if you plan on staying longer then a few hours. AH has a steep learning curve, but this also make the game what it is. Ive been here two years, still learning something new every time i log on.

Welcome to AH!
Yes, very steep curve. I am just starting to land kills regularly in my Emil. Its hard. But once you see your name in lights... its worth it!
-
But once you see your name in lights... its worth it!
It's not about the kills.it's about the FUN you have.
-
Is Revor gone now can I take off this foil hat?
:noid
-
Bum are you sure your not Revor:noid
If you are not Revor then:aok If you are then:furious
Anyways I will go with your not. go out and buy yourself an inexpensive twisty stick or something like that and see if you like it. This game has a huge learning curve, but it can be very rewarding to those that are dedicated in improving their abillities. Oh did I mention it is fun. Their is great core of trainers and very helpful people in this community. As far as squads go. Don't worry about that for now. Just log on and have a good time. If if see ya out their I'll help you anyway I can.;)
-
hey Bum...
like everybody said you got caught up in some drama that's not of your making. This really IS a decent group of folks for the most part.
It's all good.. just keep plugging away. Most importantly as I said in the other thread read the help forum and check out netaces.org for really good advice on what to do.
I've only been here a short while but I'll be happy to offer any pointers I have.

so shelling out $100 on CH pedals after a month is a bad idea? DANGIT!!!! ;)

Hard for me. I always squelch the kill messages. Not my reason for playing and I don't care if somebody vulched/ picked somebody else. Plus the .squelch 6 command keeps the radio chatter from scrolling off so fast.

1. Get rid of your real friends, they are irrelivant now.
2. You are lucky you don't have a house cause you would have to give it to your wife after the divorce.
3. Sleep is a thing of the past.
4. You will develop peculiar driving habits. Serious cases even paint crosshairs on their windshield.
5. Your communication habits will now include odd phrases such as Roger, salute, and check six.
6. A final warning. If you are ever tempted to buy lether underwear, stop playing the game for a while, you need a break.
Welcome to the game.
Be sure to check out the special events arena. http://www.ahevents.org

Your local sign shop will probably sell you adhesive vinyl material they use for vehicle signage. I think I paid between 3 and 5 bucks per linear foot. Having them use the funky cutting machine would simplify things, but I just grabbed the Xacto and a pane of glass for a cutting board.
I'm up to 3 confirmed opossums, 1 squirrel, and I got a probable on a racoon during last night's sortie. The recon guys are going out this evening- If they find the wreckage, that's number 5, and you know what that means... Ace in the PETA War!
Oh, and welcome noobinabucket or whatever.

My Durango has two confirmed kills of Toyota Camry's .. 3 more and it's an Ace!

Hes not joking! I found myself yelling today, before my friend got hit in the head with his Laser boom, i was yelling at him "Lance! Check it!!!". And he was like "WTF?!?"... then he got hit in the head. And thats no BS!
-
-very evil grin-
To those who are 'new' to air combat online ..just one question:
Are you *GOOD* at flight sims?
Which ones have you flown?
(go ahead, make a list if you like)
When yer done . . forget most if not all of what you learned in them.
As a wise man once said long ago: 'Good against drones just doesn't cut it'
Read the Tao of DoK .. Embrace the Horror.

If you're not a big fan of training, ACM, or effort, then may I humbly suggest the Hawker Hurricane Mark II C as a suitable replacement for the aforementioned. ;)

Jeremy aka The Bum
HI! I'm Howie.. M/27/IL I enjoy long walks on the beach, drinking pina coladas in the rain, going skinny skiing, attending bullfights on acid, and naked unicycle riding covered in Crisco.
My best feature: My third nipple.
My worst feature: My third nipple.
Depends on the situation I suppose.
Wow you work out? You must be ripped. Do you like films about gladiators? Does your gym have a pool? Mine does, we should go sometime. I just got a new speedo, and believe me, the "fruitbowl" has never looked better than it does under 2 square inches of lycra.
Well gotto go, my favorite design show is coming on HGTV. Happy flying. :aok

Hate to break it to you folks but this guy is Revor. The village idiot couldn't resist talking about it on channel 200.
ack-ack

He ain't 26. And he ain't no aviation geek, cause he doesn't even know the most dangerous way to attack buffs, he thinks its the front lol
-
LOL I drive a bike for most of my commutes....I've used bug guts as a gunsight, and love B&Zing truckers....Wonder where I can get some kill markers for my gas tank....LOL
Won't B flying for the next few daays, as I'm stuck to this hospital bed and can't figure out how to smuggle my pC up here...I'm going crazy w/o anything to do. This laptop is my wifes and has a hard time playing Pac Man,so until i can figure a way to get my gear up here, all I can do is post on the BBS.
Hope to be either home soon or have smuggled my PC up here soon, miss being a flying bullseye to the point where my night shift nurse has gotten the hell scared outta her. Me yelling "check it, Niki divin in" when she woke me up last night. I got good laugh from it, but shehasn't come in here since. Hope to be back in the air soon!

Lets get some input from the AH community and see what they think about this Atrocity that has occurred.

1. This "dolt" while being a dolt, never even "zapped his pee-pee" let alone a few of us.

Yeah this was too obvious from the start. It dripped of the usual attention starved Revor stank that makes us all wish his mother loved him LOLH.
