Just came over from the "other sim"--if you realy want to know. Look at the signature. :D
Was wondering if you can tell me the main differences between AH gameplay and the "other sim".
I read/know all about the perk plane system (not a fan, but I am sure I will adjust) I also familiar with the non-RPS system. I was more concerned with the strategy portion, field closure, and stuff like that.
AH2 seems to be a MUCH better graphical improvement over AH1. Damage model, plane skins, all look to be top drawer.
One thing I should make known is that I do have the ingame voice coms totally disabled (muted and turned off everything I could). AH2 looks really good, but the in-game voice coms IMO are still WAY inferior to a voice program like Ventrillo or Teamspeak that will ALWAYS handle voice better. The problem is not the game, the problem is the CELP 5.1 codec they use. The quality is SO poor I personally would not rather hear it. Plus I do run a dedciated Teamspeak server here so I have no need whatsoever for the ingame voice.
Thanks for any help you might be able to point me in. :D
-
Well ... I can't comment on the "other sim" ... never flew it.
I have used RogerWilco and TeamSpeak and it is my opinion that the ingame vox is as good if not better ... but as I said that is just my opinion.
Because in-game vox is so prevelantly used, you might not get as many check-6s as you would like. Not that you aren't getting them, you just won't hear them. Since VOX was introduced, most don't use the check-6 key nor do they type much anymore. Just a heads up.
Oh ... welcome to AH ... if ya see me and ya need anything ... just ask.
-
Ive experienced that the in-game vox can either be extremely
good, or extremely bad at times. When it's bad, it sounds
like ppl have their mic's overmodulated...so you may want to
listen a bit more before you pass final judgement.
-
I flew the other sim.
the biggest adjustment is the amount of people. there are always so many people flying that its never hard to find a fight. Also, another adjustment is the planeset. I personally liked the RPS, but this is good.
Tactics are pretty much the same, except the horde is prevalent here. Just 20+ people fighting back and forth for each side between 2 airfields. Capping is pretty simple. Knock down the town and drop the troops in the middle. take down the Fighter Hangers (FH) Vehicle Hangers (VH) and flak to make the job easier.
I also strongly suggest you enable the vox. Trust me you will need it and it does do wonders for immersion and such. You will find yourself lost if you do not have it turned on. you dont need to talk so much, but listening is important, and give Check 6 calls when you can.
Welcome

Yeah, if you see him, you will probably need a new plane :rofl

Thanks all for the welcome! S!
Where to begin....

Well if I get wacked, then I deserve it uh? :D You know what though, I am fine with that. Master of my own ship, captain of my own destiny type of deal. LOL!
I have used RogerWilco and TeamSpeak and it is my opinion that the ingame vox is as good if not better ... but as I said that is just my opinion.
Well what I can say FOR SURE is that it is not the program that makes the difference although some software is more better engineered than others. It is the codec that is used within the program that makes the difference. Case in point...
I can make my TS server sound the SAME exact quality of the in-game voice com in AH by using the CELP 5.1 kbit codec on the Teamspeak server. (If I was worried about using my bandwidth which I am not) I happen to know FOR SURE that the in-game with AH uses this VERY bottom rung codec, (Some variation of the CELP codec perhaps, but could VERY possibly use the 5.1 CELP codec) By comparision standard, I use the Speex 16.3 kbit codec currently on my TS server which routinely hosts about 20 players with NO slow down in my gaming from this machine. That is 3 times the data rate exchange that the 5.1 kbit codec uses, therefore having MUCH superior sound and quality. It actually is quite close to the telephony standard. I suppose I am spoiled :D Being in the sound/music biz, this is VERY important to me personally and I refuse to use the inferior stuff unless I ABSOLUTELY have to, which I don't, thusly the in-game voice stuff is and continues to remain OFF. I will live with the consequences I am SURE! :D
I can prove this to anyone who would want to log onto my TS server and see for themselves. PM me or email me and I will be glad to give you the log in info for the server...
Thanks again for all of your help and suggestions. Much appreciated. Is there any documentation for the supply/strategy stuff for AH? I continue to look for that...

PLEASE !! please please...
You are making a HUGE mistake. One thing that seperates this game from ALL the others is ingame voice.
Without it you are essentially playing a different game...all by yourself. In my case I find ingame voice on a par with roger wilco and much better than teamspeak.
The main thing is being able to hear and talk to ANYONE in visual range improves the "immersion" increases the fun, as you tend to run into the same people depending on your type of "fun" in the arena.
If you disable it, you are removing one of the most important features that makes this game shine above the rest.
So being this is a new game to you. Give it a shot. Yes it's dependent on the quality of setup each player goes through. You get some that have lousey mikes but most of the time it's a lousey setup. I'm using a 25 dollar labtec setup.
To insure that yours is good, go online and pick a field away from the action and go on the runway. Tune your voice channel to yourself and test it.
In windoze under advanced properties in the mic setup I set it to a 20dB boost.
Ingame mic and play volume at 100%. Effect volume ( ingame sound ) at 75%. Tweak it until you sound good to yourself.
I'd say that 80% of the people ingame have their's setup pretty well.
So please, give it shot. You really don't know what your missing if you don't.
You might get to listen to a "little general". They're always a hoot.
...puts ingame voice soap box back in the closet.
Grim hook up with Dracon and his squad. He cruises the boards. Post one up to him. They enjoy base capture and meet up on Sunday nights. He can show you the ropes.
And with that ingame voice thingy, you'll be able to interact with all of his crew :D
Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay !!

Here is a link to the help file. It contains the rules the game works under among other things:

Heya Grim, welcome, and what took you so long to leave brand-X? I'm guessing it is those "+"es next to your handle :D
Any ways, making the transition from your old sim to this one is pretty easy compared to other sims you could be transitioning from. At least that was the case when I made the same leap from 2.7x (or whatever it was after that years convention) to AH-beta.

And here are a couple of pages tucked away that may be of some assistance. Hidden away in a little known small corner of AH.

Hiya Nopoop! S! No suprise I would find you here!
I apprecite your time in posting that. I really do...
I however do not agree with a good portion of your defense. No offense meant at ALL, but still nonetheless I do disagree. Kind of a different strokes for different folks type of deal. :)
Without it you are essentially playing a different game...all by yourself. In my case I find ingame voice on a par with roger wilco and much better than teamspeak.
Well all I can say is that you must have used a Teamspeak server that was using that 5.1 CELP codec (same codec as in-game vox in AH) because the 16.3 SPEEX codec is so far superior to ANYTHING other than Ventrillo which is also capable of using the SPEEX codec base. I urge you to log onto my Teamspeak server and HONESTLY say that it is worse than the in-game voice in AH. Either you will be in a DEEP state of denial. (it ain't just a river in Egypt you know.) or you are going REAL deaf in your older age. :)
I understand about immersiveness, but as long as some of the 4th FG comes over (some of them are allready here) the voice of my squaddies will be all the immersiveness I could ever want or need. I do NOT want or need to hear the "little generals" (LOL! that cracks me up, are they any relation to your "whittle guys?" **INSIDE WB JOKE**) either. If I wanted to hear them I would pay a visit to my neices and nephews homes. hehehe!
My mic is this beauty that I also use for work, so my clarity is to quote my squadmates on TS, "CRYSTAL CLEAR"
(http://www.shure.com/photos/bigones/ksm27_large.jpg)
Once again it is NOT the program, it is the codec that is used and that varies from Teamspeak server or Ventrillo server to server. AH2 in game voice coms is NOT flexible or controllable. You are given what they have and you have NO choice about the codec used. With Teamspeak and Ventrillo you have TOTAL control of what codec is used. A luxury that AH simply does not have, period.
Sorry, but it remains off, and will continue to be so. Just not worth it.
THANKS KARNAK FOR THAT LINK!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! :D

LOL teamspeak or the other program, you might as well leave those off too....
There wont be anyone there to talk too.
if you want to do a lot of base capturing I suggest go bishops, besides I want the extra target ;)
Welcome to the unfriendly skies.

Lol..i used to use an SM 57 but my cheap headset mic sounds better.

Lol..i used to use an SM 57 but my cheap headset mic sounds better.
ROFLMAO!!!
You will pardon me, I am due back in reality. That is a good one! LOL! I can't stop laughing at that!!!! is that BEFORE OR AFTER you removed your HEARING AID??? LOL! LOL!! LOL!!!!
too funny.........Oh I can't stop!!
LOL teamspeak or the other program, you might as well leave those off too....There wont be anyone there to talk too
That is hardly my problem. I am guessing that you missed this part of my post....
By comparision standard, I use the Speex 16.3 kbit codec currently on my TS server which routinely hosts about 20 players
Might I suggest a RIF book. :o (Reading is Fundamental)
How embarrassing for you...
-
lol first day and already we are making new friends.
Well, Welcome to Aces High.
If there is anything... Well you know.
Edit: Recomended country for you would have to be Knights.
-
Ok I give...DON'T talk to anyone :p
Next, download mitzu's sound pack. His sound pack rocks. This one is a couple of years old and plugs right in ( he's workin a new one ) The spit sounds are great.
http://park1.wakwak.com/~mitsu/msc_107full.exe
Though I don't like the pony sounds at all. I have the WB pony sound at the website. I liked it much better so I kept it.
http://www.theblueknights.com/Sounds.html
...but I'm kinda leery of suggesting anything related to sounds at this point
-
Maybe he's Voss..?
-
LOL, this has GOT to be a troll! And a good one at that. "I'm going to AH to sing some OPERA to my squadies!!! See, that way, when the kill is done and the FAT LADY sings, everyone will know!"
The quality or lack there of is hardly the point. Its the communication that counts. Sure, its frustrating at times to have someone do the mumble mumble whisper whisper at you, although as a counterpoint the heavy breathing can be stimulating at times.
The point of ingame VOX is the communication of information and smak, no more no less:D
Good troll though...
-
NO I am no troll, just a real *sshole. What can I say the hours are good and there is no heavy lifting. :)
Just an FYI: This is not my first time at the rodeo where flight sims are concerned. I know some here recognize my callsign from the "other sim" Thank you for the welcome all, however backhanded that it may be. Statements like these are what "welcomed" me simply because I made the ACTIVE AND MUCH INFORMED desicison to turn voice off. My choice, just as it is yours to turn it on...
"You are making a HUGE mistake, Without it you are essentially playing a different game...all by yourself" -nopoop
"LOL, this has GOT to be a troll! And a good one at that. "I'm going to AH to sing some OPERA to my squadies!!! "-Lizard3
"LOL teamspeak or the other program, you might as well leave those off too....There wont be anyone there to talk too."-X2lee
"Lol..i used to use an SM 57 but my cheap headset mic sounds better" -SirLoin (after I posted the mic that I use)
What a welcome party! I guess I should be thanking you all for that?!?! right......... I NEVER asked for help with voice coms. I simply asked for GAMEPLAY help and only mentioned the fact that I have ingame voice disabled so if anyone EVER tried to answer my GAMEPLAY questions they would realize that I do have voice turned off, and realize that I am not simply being rude. It was as simple as that......You may see the voice com issue as a HUGE attractant to the game, I do not. I see it only as a HUGE detractor in my SPECIFIC case. Does that mean I can't play here?!?!
I am glad to be over here. It looks new, different and exciting, and inventive even. I am no troll, but I am no idiot either, and I REFUSE to be treated like one. I do sound production for a company in REAL LIFE here in Atlanta, GA and KNOW MY *HIT where sound and recording is concerned. You want references??? I will not be peed on and have someone tell me its "raining" about sound and recording which is basically what is happeneing here.....
Now if you start talking about the tax laws in Monaco, I will defer. I know nothing about that, BUT SOUND? IN SPECIFICALLY, DIGITAL SOUND, I know plenty and refuse to play like I don't. You want references? Besides Karnak and nopoop have actually HELPED me find the info I really needed and came in seeking. S! guys.
Parting shot:
Ok I give...DON'T talk to anyone
Nopoop, that is not really what I want either. The ONLY difference between you and I, is that I want to decide/control EXACTLY who I to talk to and more specifically WHO talks to ME. That would appear to be FAR less important to you, and that is fine. Just different is all. Can we still be friends?
-
...but I'm kinda leery of suggesting anything related to sounds at this point
:rofl ... NO watermelon !!!
We have an sound/audio experten amoungst us !!!
Didn't take him long to settle into the BBS ... already flinging insults.
-
Even with " Speex 16.3 kbit codec" and a KSM27 there is still a 50% probability I'll break right where you say left :D
SoftOpt depending on the time you will fly the AH main arena is pretty more international than the concurrent arena
And AH voice can be very fun especially when like me you notice your usual channel is used by some Japaneses :p
Lastly : Welcome , do what you want but have fun before anything else :)
-
TOO FUNNY straffo. :) would that mean I could call you "Wrongway"? LOL! I have a couple of those in my squadron as well.
and this:
do what you want but have fun before anything else
Words to live by sir, Words to live by! Thank you....

LOL Grim don't be taking it personal. The reason so many are aghast at your statement is that vox really adds something to the game that is available no where else.
You have a good time, I hope you stay. But if I see you ( doubtful, I'm rarely above 5k ) I'll just wave :)

Well if I was you I'd get another call-sign and do the whole entrance thing again, this one didn't go so well ;) (and don't mention the "hearing little voices" this time) j/k
Have fun in AH , I used to fly WB , you will adjust quickly it's the same with differences. Gunnery will probably take the longest
And you'll come to realise it's more fun to hear the little voices than not hear them, don't judge it after a handful of sorties.

Good Gosh Miss Molly,,,,sounds like Shane has competition..:rofl
-
ummmm,
Dont let the door hit you in the ass, otw out?
-
LOL first impressions. I still have my "first" post from when I moved over the hill 2 or 3 years ago.
The new tour tomorrow...be there for me :0)
I'm not flying here to recreate a time in the distant past when REAL heros fought a great war.
I'm not here, to in my small way, relive the glory of a war where kids put there life on the line. This is a game..
Ok ??
That being said...
My sole purpose of flying here is to add YOUR name to my butt wall
I don't play fair, if it's fair I keep on going.
No manzy panzy you did this or that...
FOGITABOTIT !!
In this tour, my first, I will put as many of you as I can on my butt wall.
It's in my dining room and there are alot of butts there.
Some are big butts, some are small...
But they are butts, all the same.
Talk all the smack you'd care to, I just gaze up at your butt on my wall and smile...
LOL
Let the games begin
Any cooperation from you, ie: get involved in typing, heading off for a quick pee break, grabbing a beer, having the cat poop on your rudder pedals etc. would be greatly appreciated...
I'm not interested in fair.
I'm interested in butts..
..on my wall...
I had a few guys accuse me of being gay :D
Which is silly, unless of course I'm reeeeely drunk and I see a "C" note..
-
ummmm,
Dont let the door hit you in the ass, otw out?
I am more coordinated than that! And sorry, but I hate to poopoo on your parade, but I am here same as you. Going no where but on your 6 to KILL YOU. Muhhhhhhaaa!
All kidding aside, I really did not mean to ruffle any feathers by saying what I did about voice coms and not wanting to use them, although I do stand by my statements.
Since there seems to be GREAT speculation about my identity and my personality, a little something about SoftOpt: (LOL!)
I don't go to barbcues with "friends"on the 4th of July
I do not go to "parties"
I don't go to the bar to "hang out"
I VERY purpsosely try to take vacations at Christmas.
I do NOT EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE go to the mall.
I am not a "fun" guy
I am not the life of the "party"
I am NOT what you would call a "people person"
I am A.O.K with myself and all of the above as well.....
Cope.
Do I know how to make an entrance or what? :D

Howdy +Grim+
Dracon, ex (+) guy, ex-Warbirder, ex 31stFG. Been here nearly 2 years now.
Good to see you here. I'm betting you'll enjoy it. Everything has it's negatives to be sure.
VOX-The in-game (F-12) can't be turned off that I know of. The nice part of F-12 is instant COMs with anyone you see. That means 6 calls from non-squaddies and the ability to give those "6's" back.
Guys.....+Grim+ is No Troller. Good stick, good shot, and a good guy!
C U up!

Don`t know so much about that, but when he does get shot down you can bet his screams will be in the highest "professional" quality stereo possible.
Of course no one will hear him, but quality is what counts. :D
-
LOL! Jackal, very funny. It won't be as such of a scream, but more like a school girl whine. Oh.....yeah and it will be in LOW-FI. :)
Hey Dracon, S! :)
Thanks for coming in here and clearing my credentials so to speak. LOL!
I knew you had come over here, and I think I have finally had it with WB's really. I still do CM stuff over there, but I do think I am actually going to start FLYING here....
About in voice game coms....
My VERY specific problem is this. IF I am having private discussions with my squadmates in game and someone who is just in the area starts talking they have absolutely NO idea that I am speaking with someone on squad coms I have BOTH transmissions getting stepped on as the CELP codec does not handle this particular function well AT ALL. I simply want more control of who I have voice coms with and who I don't. It really is that simple for me anyway....All of this coupled with the fact the engine sounds here do not change pitch if you are in level flight or if you are in a 400 MPH IAS dive....I just want more control of what I hear and what I don't.
I am sticking around, I am hoping that I can talk some other guys from the 4th FG to come over here and get something going. Is there a 4th FG in AH? WILDBIL is now in the 4th FG so this must be handled VERY discretly. LOL!!
Thanks Dracon, Good to see you!
-

WILD DILL IN THE FOURTH ??
Ahh..
...well
On another note, I've noticed in AHII squad coms do a good job of "stepping" on range voice. Granted "while" you yourself are talking range comes through but all squad replies step on range channel.
Hoot !! Bring'um all Grim, I really think you'll enjoy the stay.
Fuggin pony dweebs :D
-
LOL! NP Grim
OK I too will fess-up here. I have issues with the F12 step-ons. As the CO of the 339th it is important to get the orders out CLEARLY. The 339th is historically based P-51squad. We have taken the roll of JABOers here. We kill fields!! Nothing worse than getting over target needing to re-adjust, abort, swap assignments or RPs and getting F12 "In Your Face. I have wondered about running 3rd party Comms like Vent or TS2. I have and use both in other games. I run a TS2 server as you do. In the end I have "worked around it" so to speak or I guess just finally got used to it. F12 has prolly saved by Stab way more times then the aggravation of it has affected my squad Comms.
Ok, engine revs. That was one of the hardest things for me to deal with. The hardest was: the helium type atmosphere here or the lack of the jello like atmosphere in WBs. You call it!
HTC and many many threads on these boards claim the lack of increased/decreased audiable Revs are due to the constant speed props. That's all the explanation I can offer. Not being a RL pilot and not having flown in the real McCoy I wouldn't know.
Grim, the 339th is Rook. Remember Bizket (Biz)? He was 352nd FG. He got here just before I did. The 339th was his idea. I joined first as XO. He has some RL stuff that keeps him grounded (Nothing Bad). Rooks were the "Underdogs" when we started. Anyway I would be sadly remiss if I didn't offer you a ride with the 339th. E-Mail me. Come when you want and stay as long as you like. No strings attached. Knits are the underdogs it seems at the momment. Some say the Countries have personalities. I say when the day is done we're all just "Virtual Pilots" with the same likes and dislikes. I think all the countries are full of good guys. With 4-500 pilots on most nights you can find any kind of game you want here. This board is only visited by about 20% of the AH crowd. This board has some of the "stronger" personalities and then there's da poopster! If these guys in here aren't flying pushing buttons on their joysticks they're in here trying to push each others buttons. :D
Oh yeah...If asked....I would lobby for you to fly as Grim or some variation of that! LOL! my $0.02

You can not turn off in game voice

Very true, but I did make it where, "I can't hear you...."
All volume set at 0. Works for me, neener neener neener! :) LOL! That is okay tho, your plane is faster than my plane and I feel certain your dad can beat up my dad! :D
-
Vox sucks.
And the fact you can't selectively squelch some channels and hear some others is the WORST THING about AH.
-
Wow, never seen somebody so hung up on voice quality before. He's right though, different strokes for different folks. IMO, gameplay is the only thing that matters. Communicating with all friendlies in the area is a big part of the appeal of AHII for me. Whether the voice quality is a C or an A+ doesn't even factor into the action, but again, to each his own.
Still scratching my head over this one.:confused:
-
oh and just to add to whats already been said.
When posting in here be sure to remember to wear your flak jacket.
Flak can get pretty intence around here.
But not being new to the online world Im sure your used to this:)

I'm just waiting to hear all the "why didn't anybody warn me that nme was there" whines.
I UNDERSTAND what he's saying, he just unfort. hasn't a clue re. what WE are saying. As far as the "little generals", they are quite easily squelched. And the raw information that you receive on range during a furball is invaluable.
(shrug) oh well. He appears to think he know's what he's doing, and that is what's important. (sumptin' 'bout leading a horse to water here......)
<> welcome aboard and please dont' go knight. Myself, like X2 am looking forward to the ezy kills.

I'm just waiting to hear all the "why didn't anybody warn me that nme was there" whines.
You might be waiting a REALLY REALLY long time for that. ROFL, apparently you and Loin went to the same school of "reading". Again, you must have missed the quote below from WAY earlier in the thread, much like Loin did.....of course I am just kidding around here and I mean NOTHING personal by it, but when you make a post like this and you don't READ what has been said PRIOR to saying your peace, you deserve the fate that becomes you....Egg on your face. Sorry.....
Well if I get wacked, then I deserve it uh? You know what though, I am fine with that. Master of my own ship, captain of my own destiny type of deal. LOL!
Its called, (say it with me) personal responsibility. Truly a novel concept, you should look into it.....Bailing YOURSELF out of a jam without hoping someone else will come along to help you out is quite liberating. They call it "Situational Awareness" give it a try! :D

Lol Grim, you fit right in here.
I like it :D

LOL! Now I doubt I will have a faster plane than you since you are a SA dweeb and my dad is old and frail.
Speed is the cushion of sloppiness....
In WB SA would be about 10 times as easy than AH based on sheer numbers. While I dont rely on 6 calls or local fighters to say "watch it" i cannot say that it has not saved my arse in the past. You will get 6 calls whether you like it or no, you can turn down the volume but it still appears in the text
NEENER!

You might be waiting a REALLY REALLY long time for that. ROFL, apparently you and Loin went to the same school of "reading". Again, you must have missed the quote below from WAY earlier in the thread, much like Loin did.....of course I am just kidding around here and I mean NOTHING personal by it, but when you make a post like this and you don't READ what has been said PRIOR to saying your peace, you deserve the fate that becomes you....Egg on your face. Sorry.....
Its called, (say it with me) personal responsibility. Truly a novel concept, you should look into it.....Bailing YOURSELF out of a jam without hoping someone else will come along to help you out is quite liberating. They call it "Situational Awareness" give it a try! :D
ROFLMAO (yeah, I'M the one looking stupid here) I read what ya' typed. I understand what you're saying. You sir, unfortunately don't even have a clue yet what I'M talking about.
I just love the pilots new to AH that THINK they know things like SA, ACM, or gunnery just because they flew (insert other sim game here). AH typically has several furballs going on larger than all the WB pilots typically online flying.
(sigh) you in for a treat.
The truly hillarious part is you giving ME SA advice. That's akin to a "special" needs quadriplegic giving me advice on kickboxing.
Give it six months, and i'll spank you 10 out of 10 in a duel. Give it a year, and IF you're as uber as you THINK you are, I'll STILL spank you 9 out of 10 (got to give you one for Lute error, and ya' shouldn't be THAT big of a nwbie dweeb after a year and may get lucky).
I flew WB once upon a time, I flew AW for many years. No comparison to AH.
BUT... all kidding aside, i'm in the Training Arena typically every day for at least an hour, and I would love to help you get accustomded to AH.
I also see you landed in Knit land, so feel free to give me a shout.... errrr.... type me a shout if you need any help.

Why wait 6 months to do something that can be done today?

This thread is tardorific.:aok

actually that was mostly tongue and cheek. Wouldn't quite be fair to duel 'em now. (not that my statement re. the duel was incorrect of course)
in general, you won't see me smacking down any new player. I NEED them 2 much for prey. heh.
I'm sure he'll find his place with the other chest pounders, and BBS trash talkers
-
Softop welcome.
Speak less fly more.
First uknown feeling for you here is the power and unfair of the
Horde. Forget what you know about SA until now. Or you will die
like dog. ( i do all the time, but not cause i cant, cause i like to swim between enmy birds and tracers ;)
No body realy cares if you will have vox or not, the guys just HELP
you saying you will realy need it.
I dont know if you realy are, but you look like realy prettythang...e.
I prophesize a lot of fun with you in this bbs ;)

All kidding aside, I really did not mean to ruffle any feathers by saying what I did about voice coms and not wanting to use them, although I do stand by my statements.
Since there seems to be GREAT speculation about my identity and my personality, a little something about SoftOpt: (LOL!)
I don't go to barbcues with "friends"on the 4th of July
I do not go to "parties"
I don't go to the bar to "hang out"
I VERY purpsosely try to take vacations at Christmas.
I do NOT EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE go to the mall.
I am not a "fun" guy
I am not the life of the "party"
I am NOT what you would call a "people person"
I am A.O.K with myself and all of the above as well.....
Cope.
Do I know how to make an entrance or what? :D
Actually, you sound OK by me. Welcome grim. See ya in my gunsight :D

If you are looking for a date you came to the wrong place.:aok

How are you and Rod doing Morph? Tabloids have been lacking on that lately :mad:
-
So basically you are doing this so a few of your squaddies, and only them, can shower you with praise about the pristine clarity of your voice?
What a tard! :eek:
And, oh yea, welcome! :aok
-
"sounds" like easy prey to me.....whole lotta talk and a lack of action:D
oh yeah welcome:aok
-
uhhh - why a KSM27? radio voice overs?
Must say if you're using a mic like that to play games with.... there is something seriously wrong.
Heck, I have a couple U87s sitting around the house...hmm maybe I'll plug those in and have a boom mic over my shoulder while I'm playing the game. Crap! The pop filter's gonna block my screen..oh no - what to do now???
Anyway, I've heard better sound come out of 57s than the KSM series.:)
I'm in because Morph is in.....well, and glenlivet too :)
oh by the way - try the old throat mics if you really want to immerse yourself. Sounds great on digital - as good as a 414.
out till Sunday night - peace!
-
How come he uses a a radio mic? Why, for that added touch or realism..
(http://www.sufoi.dk/billeder/a-g/aug-02b.jpg)
CHECK 6!!! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!! THEY ARE COMING TO KILL US ALL!!!
-
Man I wish I could afford to get a gaming mic for $145 dollars....lol
My headset cost me $15
BTW - haven't left yet..but when I do...I'll be back sunday night...lol
Anyway, welcome softop.
-
a new number guy has entered the mix. yeah... good luck with that too cool for school tude. and when you go back to warbirds you can tell them all that nobody gave you a check-6. sounds like you have your plan for failure set in stone. good luck with that.

He caught me flirting on line the other day and said the wedding was off! :mad: I think he's just trying to play hard to get tho. He wont return any of my phone calls either.:(
-
Well much to my suprise it does indeed look like I am the life of the party! j.k And all of this simply because I said that I was not going to use in game voice coms?!?! ROFL.
Hey Morph, that avatar is one sweet looking piece! Too bad your flying style is not near as visually pleasing! Is that your mom? If so she is one FINE MILF! Can I get her #'s from you? Toungue firmly implanted in cheek. ;)
If nothing else this thread was some GREAT reading. Thanks for the ummm. Warm welcome and SIDE SPLITTING laughs! LOL Well lets not sell it short. Thanks for the HOT welcome!
One thing that does concern me, is this. Some of the guys in this thread either have REALLY REALLY poor eyesight or are one step out of the trailer as far as literacy goes. It is called R E A D I N G....Give it a go. This is the 3rd person in this thread alone that just did not read that has absolutely BUTCHERED what I said and got it completely WRONG. Getting tired of correcting to be honest and this is OFFICIALLY the LAST entry in this thread I am going to make. I do have better things to do with my time. Like trying to score Morph's MILF! Hey that RHYMES!

Well if you had bothered to actually READ the thread I said this:
My mic is this beauty that I also use for work,
:rolleyes:
I am not sure what part of "work" you did not understand. And and FYI yes I do use it for voice overs, Backing vocals in my studio, and finally YES I do use it on my computer for sampling, gaming and MSN. Is that okay with everyone? LOL!
So basically you are doing this so a few of your squaddies, and only them, can shower you with praise about the pristine clarity of your voice?
Well that is nice and all, but NO that is not why I do "this"....LOL
Communication is a TWO way street would you not agree? If you cannot understand what either ONE of the parites is saying then there really is no real "communication" occuring now is there? I could have gone out and purchased some piece of crap Logitech, Platronics, headset and mic combo, but why spend money on gear that I ALLREADY HAD, and what I have was of MUCH superior quality.....It really is that simple guys.
As far as being able to afford this stuff. All you have to do is start a production company. Can you say T A X W R I T E O F F? :D
ROFLMAO (yeah, I'M the one looking stupid here) I read what ya' typed. I understand what you're saying. You sir, unfortunately don't even have a clue yet what I'M talking about.
Well not to mince words, but yes you are the one looking stupid here....Where exactly did I pooch any facts that I gave?? Where did I BUTCHER what someone else said? The only thing I did was make a MUCH informed desicision to turn game voice off. My perogative. My choice and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you can do about it. COPE. This is EXACTLY where you look stupid....Not a moment before and not a moment after....THE MOMENT YOU BUTCHERED your post. Deal with it. Again, it is called PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY accepting you made a mistake, coping to it, and moving on. Can't be certain here I think it is YOU have ABSOLUTELY NO clue what I am talking about. Your post is simply a shining example of that FACT.
As far as dueling me goes, Do you club baby seals too? Or people just coming into the game becuase that is the ONLY people you can kill? I tell you what I will duel you no problem, but then lets go to MY sim and duel and see who wins. About the same situation I would guess. Give me a month or two and I would be glad to duel you. I am far less than afraid.....sorry.
My work is done here....Thanks for the laughs guys!

lol this is like a retarded Mr Black! lol lol
Low blow attempts from a n00b. lmfao
-
lol I oculdnt help checking on your stats. If only to see if you are actually playing on line. And to my surprise you are.
In the two hours of total flying you've managed to bag a whole 6 kills! lol:lol And whats even more amazing is the fact that it only took you 13 sorties to do so! my o my you are truely an ace! lol
If you ever find me flying on line please track me down. I'd love to learn a thingertwo from ya.

LOL Oct !!
Well in a way we are. More like joined at the hip. I spent three or four years over the hill flying mostly for JG 2 Richthofen. Nothing better than coming up against the fourth in a scenario. Excellant fighter group. Know some guys there from a long long time ago.
Anytime someone comes over for a look see. I'm glad they came. And if it's a pilot from the fourth ?? That's even better.
Good times, won't forget'um. Just need the 352nd bastards over here and we'll be set.

heh. bait taken. hook firmly planted. WOOT! i caught me another one! looks a wee bit gamey tho'. Better throw it back so it can hopefuly grow up to have a clue.
You STILL don't understand my point (duh), but one of these days you will. What YOU seem to have missed is I have perspective on BOTH games, and a wee bit more experience in THIS one. You can't understand my position, because your a nwbie.
(rant mode on) You don't take advice well. And seem to have the opinion that you KNOW what your doing, even when it's obvious you don't. No wonder you don't mingle w/ others in real life. They prob. all can't stand your "know it all" attitude, 'specially when it's founded in obvious ignorance. Glad your proud of being a shut-in. I would venture that is more a forced situation as opposed to choice. (rant mode off)
oh, and fyi, i tend to only pick fights with the top ranked pilots in here so I can smack 'em around. I can only think of maybe a dozen that'll give me a run/beat me (possibly 20 if I think real hard). Only thing I do w/ nwbies is train 'em. I get my fill of nwbie fights in the TA helping 'em out.
Hop in the TA some time and if i'm there, I'll be glad to help train ya'.
p.s. you DO know this is mostly all in fun. The offer to train ya' is very serious, as I like helping out the new pilots.
-
Well, thought I was done here but...........
I say again! Don't think this guy can't fly and fight. He can and will back up what he says.
I spent 6 years in WarBirds. Wanna get you panties yanked and yer behind spanked? Most of the guys in the WBs Pony Mafia can do it to you. The 4th, 352nd, and the 31st had/has many good sticks and they teach each other. Solid squads with good basics and great leadership. There were plenty of Great Axis squads with the same basis. JG 2 was among them. Remember, Pryo and Hitech made that SIM too. In many ways the SIMs are the same. Can Grim be beat? Yep you bettcha, but he is more than capable of giving as good as he gets. Not sure how this got from his dislikes and likes in VOX and request for Game Tips to his flying abilities? But, You been warned!
Gotta admit this is a great entrance. LOL! More people know him in one week then knew me in a year.
Hey poop, some of the "bastards" are here under different names.
-
Who the hell does this "hotshot" think he is? So you are a professional audio dude who is criticizing the game before you even play it.
With vox turned off what the hell are you expecting from the game?
This isn't the right way to introduce yourself into a community - especially one that lives and breathes the game lol.

That is 3 times the data rate exchange that the 5.1 kbit codec uses, therefore having MUCH superior sound and quality. It actually is quite close to the telephony standard. I suppose I am spoiled :D Being in the sound/music biz, this is VERY important to me personally and I refuse to use the inferior stuff unless I ABSOLUTELY have to, which I don't, thusly the in-game voice stuff is and continues to remain OFF. I will live with the consequences I am SURE! :D
Kind of like 12 years ago saying I dont care if everyone is using Win OS and IBM compatible PCs. Amiga is much better than those, and better than MAC also. Im a professional, and refuse to use an inferior product :)
Welcome by the way, see you are making new friends already.
