Title: AH2 SA!
Post by: Smiggyy on March 15, 2005, 01:39:17 AM

Am I the only one who since playing AH has noticed their SA increasing to ridiculous levels?

Now when I'm driving the car I'm looking left, right, over my shoulder, down to the road!!

I've even been seen by my long suffereing wife-ack better half staring up through the sunroof looking for a road-based threat hiding in the glare of the sun!!

---------------------------------------

Just thought this post would make a change from the norm!

HTC keep up the good work!!!
Well appreciated and hey if it cuts down on RTA's its gotta be good!

Tally Ho old beans, toodle pip, over and out!!

ya isnt that kinda cool, i have been complimented on my great SA when i play soccer, didnt think till now it could be due largly to flight sims, i guess thats one reason artists do so well when it comes to flight, spatial awareness is intergral to both   art and flying. Furthermore i consider flying to be an art of its own as im sure many of you can agree.

No, but I've noticed an increased tendency to put my face 4 inches from televisions to see if the ack is still up.

I honestly feel I do better at sports, etc. after playing this game for awhile.

Not to mention driving -- I find myself judging velocity differentials a bit more accurately (i.e. tightly) when "merging" and changing lanes....



Wife isnt thrilled about this, though she should be happy about the cardiovascular benefits from the extra adrenaline ....:aok

When in my BMW I have a tendancy to want to "saddle up" on any mustangs I see on the road.

So far have 3 confirmed kills and two speeding tickets.

Almost ripped off the steering wheel trying to go vertical once. Does that count? How about stepping on the gas while trying to slip into a parking spot?

  I tryed setting my views in a pickup while pulling a trailer with keys and F10. Didn`t work. I think I got it mapped wrong.

  I did manage to get put on wife`s "ignore list" though. Life is good.

It's always helped my driving, especially in close maneuvering.  But my SA really shines when I'm on the motorcycle.

I drive a 98 dodge quad cab truck with a 380 in it. I chased a porscha down a mountain with it one day. Scared the hell outta him because I stayed on his 6 through all the turns. Funny now that I think back it was like chasin a 109 in my JUG......:D

Flying both in AH and IRL, I found that when I'm approaching a bunch of cars stopped in traffic, a little voice in my head says "Pull back and you can go over them"...  Sometimes it's hard to ignore the voice but I haven't listened to it yet... ;)

You know you've gone too far when you start thinking about lead and lag persuit when driving go-karts.
