ok... where to begin.....
You can not have signatures with pictures. If you see one, they are copy and pasting the picture into the thread. The pic isn't part of the sig.
on to avatars.
click the USER CP button in the top left of the screen.
then click the EDIT OPTIONS link.
scroll down and press the CHANGE AVATAR button at the bottom.
then click browse button and upload the desired avatar that you want from your computer. it's has to be 64 x 64. You will find that many like to use historical avatars. Mine is the authentic squad insignia of the III/JG26 9th ST. As far as finding historical squads to use, all I can suggest is that Google is your friend.
Ok, on to the other questions. The FIRST place u should go is HERE (http://www.hitechcreations.com/frameset1.html?ahhelp/index.html). It is the AH help page. Everything that you ever wanted to know about AH is there. I would also suggesting downloading the Aces High Help file located HERE (http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/AH2HELP.EXE). Basically the same thing, but handy to have.
A great place to start learning about the aircraft used in AH is Soda's AH Aircraft Evaluation Website (http://members.shaw.ca/soda_p/models.htm). Lots of great info about the planes, and how to fly them in Aces High.
Another useful link would be netaces.org (http://www.netaces.org/). Netaces is Aces High specific, and has soooo much information that I suggest reading everything on it at least twice.
If you need some help learning to fly, Aces High has a fantastic Training Corps that you can email. Trainers@hitechcreations.com Send them an email and you can set up a time to get some training.
Hope this helped.

I know it has to be smaller than 64x64 pixels and 30,000 bytes. Other than that you need at least 1 post to have a custom avitard :)
Damn Lute....beat me to it :D

1. You will get a System message in yellow text, when you destroy an object or plane.
2. G key for gear. There is a gear indicator on the instrument panel. Green means they are down.
-
zorstorer is right about the size... also, it has to be a gif or a jpg (no sure about that one) file type.
Heres an avatar i made for you. Right click and "save as" the one you prefer on your desktop.
Then upload it the way WMLute described.

PS: you have to be belopw 180 mph in speed before gear deploys (otherwise the wind would rip it off).

ciao schutt

I might use those thx :P
-
Schatzi,
Do you do this partime? I would like to animate mine..
(is there a story behind "Casper")
going to google, not hijackin this thread
-
Hey Miggy!
No, no story behind Casper, except that i think hes more fitting then some kickaZZ bad boys Avatar. More Ladylike :t.
Well, Ive never played around with animated gifs..... but if you tell me what youd like, i can see what i can dig up/do. Supposed you got some patience, my daytime work is pretty demanding at the moment, but end of the week looks a little brighter.
Just point me towards the raw pics/idea you got in mind.....
-
miggy, ill do one for ya. you gotta keep it quite simple tho, they need to be under 30kb. what did you have in mind?
-
Thanks Poo and Schatzi,
Do you create the avitars in photoshop, like a powerpoint presentation, or in a gif animation tool, slicing several clips into a quick little movie?
Thanks for the help. Hang in there at work, go fill some red planes full of holes to blow off steam....
I just figure work pays for the internet access, and of course, $15 /month for connection to a community full of great people.:rofl
