Hiyas, South! This old man college kid thang is demanding. Kelly suggested some light courses through the summer - Philosophy and Nutrition. I expected the first one to be kinda hard and the second easy. The first one was fun (for me) and the second one made me feel like I was suddenly in chemistry or a pre-med major. Sheesh. Got math coming to kick my backside in the fall and looks like I'm gonna try to become multi-lingual (Spanish) but after all of that I look forward to it being nothing but History and Poli Sci all the way to the PhD. :pray

Greetings! Last I flew in Aces High was in 2014 and I was a part of your squadron. As a navy vet, I was very drawn to your squadron due to its affiliation with the Navy, but I soon came to love the comradely that was developed within your squadron. Now after all this time I finally have the means to get back in and play the game again, but first I wanted to know if you guys are still active?

Good to see the group I started way back in 2001 still alive and kicking. I miss flying with you guys and wish you all the best of luck and a Merry Christmas!
We you guys hanging out at these days Jolly Rogers! Inquiring minds want to know.
Mostly at school, skipper. I maintain my AH account and will be flying as a Soviet bomber pilot in an upcoming event. I can hardly remember what it feels like to fly in a flight or division of Corsairs in the MA (or any other arena).
I suppose we could set something up in match play. Wouldn't cost any of the old JRs anything to fly there (and it may even inspire participation in the MA).
Miss it, skipper? :D

There are times I miss it. I talked with Modeus the other day on Discord and am going to get some DCS stick time in with him once I get my new pedals. I want to run the F-14 in the VF-84 skin and see what its like being a super sonic Pirate for a bit but I do want to get some Corsair time again soon.

I still have my Warthog setup with MFD's. I sold all kinds of other stuff and honestly playing flight sims without it is just not the same.

Blue plane pilots, you are all invited to fly Massive Midway Mayhem on January 25th at 9PM EST/8PM CST in SEA2.
Massive Midway Mayhem
Premise: The IJN and IJAAF has launched a massive naval force against the island of Midway. The USN and USAAF has intercepted the Japanese attack plans and deployed a massive naval force to protect Midway.
Historical version: The Japanese had 4 aircraft carriers and support ships to launch attack against one island and it's defenses. Two USN aircraft carriers and support ships were in place for defense along with Midway defenses. What if? version: Each side has 14 aircraft carrier fleets apiece and both have an island base for multi-engine bombers. This makes it mostly even with the most abundant target rich environment possible.
Allied Objectives: Sink 13 Japanese carrier task forces in sector in 13,12 (Blue sector). Destroy A24 (No Town attached) and sink single carrier group in 13,14 sector. Axis Objectives: Sink 13 USN carrier task forces in sector in 14,11 (Purple sector). Destroy A23 (No Town attached) and sink single carrier group in 13,9 sector.
Special Rules: 1) Unlimited Lives 2) Limited radar 3) Aircraft specific to Theater and Country 4) All 28 CV fleets will be kept in containment areas under CM control. 5) All fighter aircraft will have ground ordnance available. 6) Only the B5N2 and TBM are restricted to torpedo use only. All other payloads will be inactive for those aircraft. 7) All deaths, bails and captures counts as points for the opposing side. Players who bomb and bail will give points to other side in aircraft losses. 8) A23 is the only VALID airfield target for Axis. Any ground targets destroyed at other airfields will not have any points rewarded. 9) Players are free to fly all the normally perked aircraft in the Main Arena for FREE in this event.
Allied Active Fields A23 (13,9) All Allied aircraft available C57 (13,9) All USN/USMC naval aircraft available
Axis Active Fields A24 (13,4) All Axis aircraft available C30 (13,4) All IJN naval aircraft available
Tier Multiplier (Air to Air) Tier 3 aircraft shooting down all aircraft will be designated point value only. Tier 2 aircraft shooting down both Tier 1 and Tier 2 aircraft will be designated point value only. Tier 2 aircraft shooting down Tier 3 aircraft will be designated point value times 3. Tier 1 aircraft shooting down Tier 1 aircraft will be designated point value only. Tier 1 aircraft shooting down Tier 2 aircraft will be designated point value times 4. Tier 1 aircraft shooting down Tier 3 aircraft will be designated point value times 10.
Tier Multiplier (Air to Ground) Tier 3 Aircraft destroying ground targets will be designated point value. Tier 2 Aircraft destroying ground targets will be designated point value times 3. Tier 1 Aircraft destroying ground targets will be designated point value times 10. Torpedo aircraft will receive double Tier multiplier for any ship sunk.
Each side will have 14 aircraft carriers, 14 cruisers and 56 destroyers to sink.
At end of the event, any ground targets not destroyed will be credited to the opposing side at 5 times the designated value. For the ships, only the whole value of the ship will be awarded with no points for undestroyed guns.
Arena Settings: Terrain - Marianas Fuel Burn - 1.0 Ack - .001 Kill Messages - Disabled Enemy Collisions - ON Friendly Collisions - OFF Formations Enabled - ON Formation Autopilot - ON Killshooter - ON Radar Mode - Limited Bomber Warning Range - 26,400 (5 miles) Fighter Warning Range - 26,400 (5 miles) Tower Warning Range - 26,400 (5 miles) 3 Hour event
Design Intent: This style event is a mix of both Main Arena play and historical matchups created through Special Events. There is a loose style created in design to allow for both individual players and squads to conduct their own missions using choice of aircraft. At the same time, a Side CIC/CO can volunteer and organize with other players and squads to wage a collaborative campaign against the enemy. This is not a registered event and side forums will not be available. Planning should be done through other formats available.
The design has incorporated all aircraft available in game for each side. The Main Arena ENY list is the measuring board for the Early, Mid and Late War planes. The loose style allows for players and squads to choose any aircraft with no limits. The design is created to reward players and squads who choose to fly Early or Mid War planes in air to air victories, sinking of ships and destruction of ground targets with greater points to that side.
The design of the Objectives is to push each side for total annihilation of the other side. This in turn creates a greater push to defend the ships and airfields. The ack is set at .001 which translates to an aircraft receiving 1000 hits to equal 1 hit in the main arena. Flying through 13 carrier groups will not result in a suicide run. Taking fire from an enemy aircraft will be lethal. Since the ack is set at .001, there is no need for players to man guns.
For any new players, you will not see your victories and or damage points when landing successfully. The Special Events Arena has the ability to record the information as logs. The logs can be found at ahevents.net under the Events Logs tab and then in the Snapshots Log for Massive Midway Madness. The logs will be posted within a few minutes after the event has ended. It will be divided between Allied and Axis, squad first by numerical and then alphabetical name and finally by ZZZ squad for those who don't belong to a squad.
C-Hogs and -4s are free and unlimited lives. :salute

Trust me I suck bad...you guys will only want me to distract anyone from shooting at the rest of you and that is if I can get off the ground. I have basically forgotten how to control any pixelated aircraft in the last several years.

Still haven't subbed but I am hanging around like a bad dream. I broke my Warthog joystick a few weeks ago; it fell as I was moving it onto the mount I built and it snapped at the base. I just got a new replacement grip and am getting back into the hang of things in this and DCS offline before I jump in full force.
