The game is fantastic, just be ready for the steep leaning curve.
As to squad, just ask to fly with a few before deciding to join. This makes sure they fit your style (historic, strict squad nights , ect...ect...ect).

and GL

Post by: Schatzi on May 07, 2006, 01:22:05 PM: THIS GAME SUCKS!!!! :eek: :t

Kidding: AH is worse then crack - it should really come with a warning label :). "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave....".

Welcome Grimms.

No, I wouldnt say theres someone here that you should avoid at all costs. All in all, this community is great. The odd bad apple, but hey, were all human, arent we?

AH has one of the best and most accurate flight models out there. Dont be surprised when it takes you some time to learn - its definitly worth the effort. For eye candy - well, theres sure to be better out there, but none (at least that I know of) that run online with those numbers and with such detailed FM.

Take the time to skim through Help Section (http://www.hitechcreations.com/ahhelp/index.html) - it will be well worth the time. Another great page to get you going is Hammers Net Aces (http://www.netaces.org). Training arena and the Trainer Corps are also available at basically all times.

If youre looking for a Squad: Take Bronks advice and fly with them for a while before deciding. Check out the Squadron forum (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=19) at the bottom of the forums. Recruiting Squads usually post there.
Title: Hello Aces High!
Post by: Max on May 07, 2006, 01:22:58 PM: Your post shows some sense and maturity. Take a few days to read up...lot's of good help can be found at http://www.netaces.org

Stick with one ride for awhile...learn its strenghts and weakness's. Hurricane's and Spitfires are a good start.

Once you get a good footing, squads will seek you out. In the meanwhile try and find a wingman to work with. If you fly for Bishops, look for anyone in The Flying Circus. Most are decent sticks and don't mind working with noobies.

Good Luck...and questions...post em over in the Help&Training section of the forum. Also be sure to seek out a Trainer in the Training Arena.

Post by: Schatzi on May 07, 2006, 01:32:13 PM: Raptor IS pretty good. Seems like you ARE a natural ;).
Title: Hello Aces High!
Post by: Pooface on May 07, 2006, 01:33:25 PM: yeah raptor is a very decent pilot, you probably cought him in odd circumstances or you were vulching him:)
Title: Hello Aces High!
Post by: Lazerr on May 07, 2006, 01:35:29 PM: 475th and 479th are the only two true 38 squads in AH.
Title: Hello Aces High!
Post by: Grimms on May 07, 2006, 01:36:00 PM: well there is alot to learn, so many buttons to press this is what i know so far

X=autopilot
Q=flaps
W=flaps
E=engine
altx=autoclimb

vulching is shooting someone on the runway, or very soon after takeoff, so that they have little chance of defending. but, if you were dogfighting him well done, always helps to have flown other sims:aok

im the same, and so is a squaddie :) if you need a squad, come fly with us for a little :)

then again, if you're looking to fly the 38 a lot, the 475th and 479th are really the only squads you should consider, great guys, and they do things with those 38s i cant understand at all lol. im sure you'd learn a lot from them if 38's are your thing :)

I fly other planes also, but im really good with a 38, although i really dont like it too much. I really like the 109s and 190s

Just a tip for your next BBS ID Langrimm , big goodbye's and triumphant hello's are best avoided ;)
