Hello everyone,
I feel that I should inform the regular community of AH flyers that I am now patrolling your skies (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). It has only been a little over one week; however, don’t fear… I have a subscription good for at least 60 days. I need to mention that because of the menacing threads I’ve read about the lousy “2 week’ers”, the whole AH community going to hell, and the need to obviously squelch these players. Well I can only say that with my involvement I am sure the game will take a drastic down turn. Now with the sarcasm out of the way, I have only one word for HTC!
WOW
My ratio is crap. My understanding of physics a little better, i.e. heavy plane in dive bomb past 500 mph is a bit hard to pull out of. I’ve realigned my joystick three or four times just so I could control the thing on manual take off, not to mention normal flight. My snap calculations of meters to feet are getting quicker. I’m waiting for the conversion to stop and realize the “feel” for distance. Finally did enough research to understand changing my display settings on my desktop did bumpkis, found the “video.cfg” file and got my frame rate from 9 to 30. Whew, easier to lead them shots when your target doesn’t slide half way across your screen. All in all, its driving my wife crazy, but hey… She shouldn’t have bought me the subscription for Christmas if she didn’t want me on the thing, LOL! I’m having a blast and my learning curve is slowly coming around.
I would like to say thanks to all of AK”whoever”. I’m pretty sure AK is a squad, but a few of these individuals have been really helpful when I’ve finally gave up and asked a question in the game. There are others and I apologize for not listing you all; however, I’m paying a lot more attention to staying in the air then the “radio” transmissions.
Also Joann from HTC… Thank you for assisting my wife. HTC went above and beyond on this one. The dilemma for a gift subscription was, the subscription is running even though the receiver hasn’t logged on yet. They were able to set it up so it was active from my first logon. Now my only problem is talking the better half into a permanent subscription and dropping FA (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
I’m impressed and happy to be apart of AH. I look forward to eventually shooting all of you down, hehe.

Zippatuh,
The AKs are a squad. It is an acronym for "Arabian Knights (http://www.aksquad.com)". Feel free to check out our web site anytime.

When I fist installed the game I had the display settings in the game set for the highest resolution. Looked great, bad for fur balls. When the "video.cfg" file is removed and the game restarted, you will be prompted to set you display settings again. I changed to "800x600". It's a bit more granular but it solved my frame problems.

Welcome!
First, drop by the training arena or email myself or any of the other trainers with any questions you have. If you just want to chat about air combat, that's cool too. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I'm at sconrad@hfx.eastlink.ca if you have questions or want to talk air combat.
Second, you do not have to delete video.cfg to change your video setings. Upon clicking the Icon for AH, on the first screen there is a "Video" button that will make the changes for you. I also recomend you try 1024x768, as this resolution is often just as fast as 800x600. It is for me. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Third, have fun! Glad to have you aboard. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Actually AK is Alvin Krumcek. A known masturbator, and sheep molester. He flies under different pseudonyms.

Dang easymo.. you say that like its a bad thing. I'd think he could actually be in our squad, but you made no mention of cross-dressing.

Welcome to Aces High! Have you considered joining the Flying Tigers and flying as Rook?
The AKs are a fun bunch and I enjoy flying with them when they are Rook and respect them greatly when they are da emeny. I hardly ever shoot one of them down without having another two on my six.

Hallo Zippatuh and welcome
I do recall seeing you quite abit in the MA. O course there is only one scourge/skurj in AH tho (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
I am sure you'll enjoy the challenge which is AH after FA.

Perhaps they mistook you for a sheep?

Welcome ZIP!! I certainly hope you are familiar with the longstanding AH tradition of initiation. You MUST put yourself directly in front of my sights and not move your stick for 20 seconds. Look man, it's the only way I get kills anymore.
Good to have ya.
-
Welcome Zippatuh,
Happy to see you here....Yes, HTC has some great folks! Sounds like you have a great wife too. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Once again, welcome sir.

Well,
Quiet the warm welcome I must say.
Ice – gotta say… If you want good BBQ, Kansas City is the place to be. Everyone else that disagrees, buy a plane ticket. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Lephturn – Thanks for the information. With all the excitement who would of thought that they would put a button with a label of “V-I-D-E-O”. Amazing what you see when your really looking. 1024 worked out well. Frame rate hovered around 25.
AKDejaVu and easymo – I will keep a sharp lookout for any attacking aircraft brandishing pink tutus. I will designate this attacker as “Alvin Krumcek”. //////Shiver///////
Rogwar – Thanks for the invite m8; however, I just arrived to this wonderful world of virtual death and need to get to know the community a little better first. Besides, you haven’t had the pleasure of me emptying my guns, hitting with pinpoint accuracy, the air molecules surrounding your aircraft.
Skurj – what can I say, you already have it for a nick. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
DR00 – good to know, the problem is, my initiations have already begun.
Skuzzy – Noted, connection problems, talk to Skuzzy.
Westy – Hmmmm, you are the first to ever ask about my nick… So, long and short. Once upon a long time ago I was in a game known as “D&D”. As my beady eyed cousin sat across from me and asked “now pick a name”, I pondered while feasting on a slice of Pizza. Looking down at the box, hmmmm Pizzahut, add a P take out a Z and WHALA… Zippatuh my alter ego was formed, LOL. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Thanks again for all the welcomes!

Hiya, Zip! (Scourge, heh)
I recommend Ice and the 13th T.A.S. if you like ponies, especially!

Welcome, from the land of OZ (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Ice? are you who I think you are? The first to get DSL of the KC area players?

Welcome to AH if you need to Improve your kills just look for me as i cant fly to save my life. Have fun.

Welcome ZIP!
Have to agree with you about the "AK's", they are a class act either friend or foe.
-
Zip, Pink Tutus all belong to Swager (JG2's CO) I'm sorry you had to meet the AK's first (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Welcome to Wonderland Zip.
I see no one has relayed two important rules so here goes.
1.When attacking Knight B17s you must always approach from 6 oclock with your stall warning screaming
2.Never, under any circumstances, fire upon Knight C47s, they have free worldwide passage.
These rules are posted somewhere on the HTC site, I think, but I forgot exactly where so ya just gotta trust me on this one, OK?
------------------
When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?
