Hello old WB friends and foes and well as those from other sims. The Bum is ready to come to the "Darkside". Someone said the guns are a tad bit stronger here and that has drawn my attention.
Hopefully I will see you soon. Any newbie tips you can share?

Don't expect the "Wonder Gunnery" that you've enjoyed in WB's. I had gunnery of about .25 in WB's, here I have .05, if that tells you anything. I DO fly alot of cannon-equipped A/C, which may explain it.(not compensating enough for bullet drop)

Bo!!!
About time. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Biggest differences are the flight model, and graphics. Just takes some flying and dying to get used to them. Ack is deadly. Also, expect to get bounced at 25k -- from above. Be glad to spend some practice time in the TA with ya.
You're welcome to fly with the MOL, while you are learning the ropes. We'll watch yer butt (as usual). (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Welcome Hobo! We'd love to have you fly in 308 Squadron, just send an email to funked@warbirds.org.
Or, if you end up in the **MOL**, that would be groovy, too. We both fly for the Rooks.

Hi Hobo,
Hope you enjoy AcesHigh.
Take your time and give it a few weeks to really get the feel of the entire sim and community.
I think you will like it.

Take advantage of the "Zoom" feature. This helps gunnery alot until you get inside of d150. The zoom is also zoomable.
Default keys:
z = zoom
[ ] = zoom in / out

Hibo!!
Glad to see you again. As Yeager said, give the game at least 2 weeks. The FM is way diff. and will require some mods to your WB style and memory. But as most of us WB transfers, you will like the FM after some period of time. BTW the FTs would welcome a Barney to the ranks (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Howdy Hobo, sorry we moved the town on ya, but.... welcome home!

LOL Ripsnort. That's one for the Wingless. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Thanks for the welcome guys now I just gotta get this thing working. With a little luck I will be on before the end of the week.
Cya then!

Bout damn time hobo. MOL exists, you can come back into the fold if you want.
Guns in AH unlike wb today, when you shoot something in AH, it usually dies. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Flight modeling takes some getting used to, but you will learn it. Planes will overstress in a good dive, so be careful.
They also mush and stall at slow speeds, so guard your speed.
Learning to set up your views is critically important, without setting them up right, you will have trouble with good SA. Get them set up right, you will love them.
Spend a little time checking out the key mapping feature. You can adjust the keys to do what you want, it comes in handy sometimes.
Fly rooks, obviously all the best flyers do. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
One more thing, I would recommend you take Popeye up on the offer for a little get together in the TA, it will get you up to speed quicker.

Bring it on home Bo!

Dagosan! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I will take you up on ALL of your suggestins. However, I am a little concerned about hitting the TA with Pops. I mean a guy his age can be a little slow on the reaction times and what not. I'd hate to overstress him or anything like that. Gee I'm kinda surprised they didn't give him a desk job or something. <g,d,r>
Tell that there IS killshooter...Right? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hehe.. getting bounced at 25k is right. When I first came over from WB I was used to the heights we flew there:
10k marginal
15k you're probably the highest thing within miles
20k the only thing higher than you is guaranteed to be a buff which has spent 30 mins climbing
In AH, I've lost count of the times I've cruised to an engagement at 25k only to find enemy stangs and 109s at 30k+ waiting for me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I can never remember if they have Killshooter in the TA.....must be gettin old. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hehehe, Lol Pops. I nearly forgot what it was like to give (and receive) MOL harrassment. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Now if only I could get HTC to send me my password, I could come fly. Any idea how long it typically takes?
Hobo
-
Usually immediately. Hmmm, you may want to give Ronni a call.
Killshooter is off in the TA, as well as the switch time limit. Kill your fellow MOL at will! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Hobo, I mentioned to HT that you hadnt gotten your password yet. He said it should have arrived in 5 minutes. Said you should apply again.

PS: when you go to the TA with Popeye, let me know, I will come along and sing to him, it distracts the hell out of him and will allow you to get easy kills. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hi Hobo,
I may be mistaken, but wasn't there a time when we both were flying for Red in WB. In any case, welcome to AH (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
