It was a real pleasure flying with you guys and I made a lot of friends. I can't tell you how much fun I have had dog fighting and learning from some of the best cartoon fighter pilots I have ever seen and hanging out with my squad, Hells Angels. Maybe its just sour grapes on my part but I refuse to pay a monthly fee to be told what plane I can fly, where I have to fly it, and what arena I can fly in. I have spent months going through change, after change, after change and I feel like there is just too much control over the game for my taste. I spent 3 hours tonight and couldn't up a plane with an ENY value less than 20. I wish you all the best of luck and I will certainly miss hanging out with some of the most informed and skilled pilots I have ever had the privilege of flying with. I also wanted to say that as a former Army Helicopter pilot, that I have spent hundreds of hours in the air with lots of military trained pilots that don't have the insight or skills that I have witnessed in this arena. I think I will miss that the most. You guys are the best. If you ever wanted to belong to a squad that, in my humble opinion, knows every aircraft in the game inside and out with some of the best pilots I have ever seen, check out the Hells Angels. They are the best group of pilots I have ever been associated with. Good luck guys and keep um flyin. It has been a real pleasure being associated with people of your caliber.

i'm truly sorry that you feel this way condor, i hope that you can find it in yourself to overcome the negatives that you see and enjoy the game some more.
unfortunately,all the restrictions that have been implemented recently are forced upon us by the nature of the human mind. without them things would only be fun for half the clients of the game whereas with the restrictions it is only a small handfull that dont feel like paying or playing anymore.
as i've said before...
Hitech does not get a perverted pleasure out of limiting anyone's fun, he brings new ideas into the game because the player base itself was limiting other peoples fun.
He has to find a happy medium that canplease as many people as possible at once, and i think he has got it just about right as it is.
as you must be able to imagine, this is the very hardest part of his job.
I do so very much hope you can find some interest in the game again, and fly with your squaddies once more!
all the best.

Wait up a minute, Condor, give this thing a few days to gel...I'm assuming that what's going on in the LW Orange had alot to do with this, right? It's only that one arena, at the moment. Wait and see what happens...
-
Agree with Frode, you are jumping the gun.
Hell's Angels are a great group of guys, except for that Slash fella. :)
-
Condor, im truly sorry to hear you feel that way and even more sorry to see you go. Always been a pleasure fighting alongside or against you.
But i understand that if the game is no longer fun, there is a need to at least take a break. Get away from everything for a while, and do something different.
One day, youll feel the itch to get flying again, and the AH world will suddenly be looking a lot brighter again.
Good luck and see you back in a while hopefully!

When I log on to play I usually head for the Arena with the most people in it. So I ended up in the test Orange last night. I didn't like it once I got bored of the Furballing. - In fact I had to remind myself it was a test because the thought of packing it in did come to mind!
In all honesty I should have been thinking whats going on in one of the other Arena's - I would no doubt enjoy the gameplay there if I bothered to go but I didn't.
Change can be a good thing, in fact it is essential. I don't like change but I run with it, as once you adapt, things settle down. - But change too frequently and you can't get settled and no longer enjoy the game. This is something that Hitech needs to be very careful about.
Right now you are not enjoying the game and I fully understand that means you feel like packing it in. But from my experience I would say hang on in there a bit longer - You will enjoy it again when this currently unsettling period is over.
Its good to air your thoughts on the forum so Hitech and his team can understand what their customers want. The reason I still play is because I know that the periods I go through not enjoying it WILL pass and that any change that doesn't work will not last.

Bummer, Your plane will be in the hangar waiting on you if you change your mind bud
-
Condor sorry to see you go. I agree with Hitech 100% he's try to move this cartoon game forward for the best of the community. With this is mind some will not like the changes but if the game stayed the same you would leave anyway because you would get bored of doing the same ol thing.
See ya in two weeks :aok

If you couldn't up a plane with a ENY of less than 20 your country must have had absurdly high #'s in that arena--I don't see how it's much fun flying in such a scenario
-
And Good Luck.
-
No we lost another one, when will it end :cry
-
Condor....gonna miss ya bro. I can understand your frustration though. I hope you come back some time soon. I've been told by many that taking a month or two off from this game makes it far more enjoyable when you come back. I'm thinking of doing it myself.
Anyways, Your always welcome back with us (Slash said he would eject ANGRY to make room.):rofl
<<>>

A thoughtful & measured statement Condor.
Give it a bit longer, AH needs guys like you. :)
-
I just want to say that I enjoyed flying with you last night, even though the test capture idea wasn't the best. I appreciate flying with more mature members, and I am learning from watching the older guys do it right. Hate to see you go, cuz I just got here, but if that's your choice, so long...was nice flying with you.

Sorry to see a player go and so fast during a test but this point got my attention.
You say "...knows every aircraft in the game inside and out..." and mentioned the ENY 20 thing.
Are you saying you can't have fun in a plane with an high ENY value?
-
Stick around COndor06.
Check out Friday Squad Ops by posting in the FSO forum, you’ll be grabbed up quick as a guest by one of the squads. This Friday is frame 3 of 8th AF and if it turns out you like FSO and think your Angels can do well in there, bring the whole squad over in January. FSO alone is reason to keep playing the game. The Pearl Harbor scenario is gearing up for a run in January and then there’s the Air races, KOTH and other events which you might find fun.

Thank you very much guys. I appreciate your comments. This game was always more about the class of people I have the privilege of knowing more than the game itself. Mabe what I need to do is just lay off a while. See what happens and get my head right. I think once you go down the path of controlling the game play that it becomes a never ending cycle to try a please everyone and the parameters become more and more constricting. I can not tell you how aggravating (to me) this has all become. I just need an attitude adjustment, take a break, and come back at this in a different light. Let the smoke clear and see where all this winds up. I'm trying fellas, I am really trying.

Hope to see you back soon Condor.

Wise words, see you later, Condor.

Just deleted my account around 5 mins ago, Doesn't feel to bad when you've done it actually. Same as you condor, I'll have a breather and see where I go from there.

Thank you Bear, I will stop by every now and again to check on my plane. She’s leaking a little oil and her rudder is somewhat sticky. Don't let Angry fly it while I am gone. Her GVWR can't take it and he always leaves cheeto stains on the throttle and canopy release. I still haven't figured out what that smell is from the last time he flew her. I have a very busy rodeo schedule the next two months as we are hosting the East Coast World Finals this year in Charlotte and Cowboy Christmas in Raleigh. Maybe after I finish up with the season (last rodeo is Jan 12-14) I can have a better attitude and enjoy this again. I have been having some withdrawals since I canceled my account but the medication and alcohol is starting to kick in so I think I can beat this without any help from the Betty Ford Center. Have a great holiday guys and stay safe. I will still do videos for you while I am in my pout mood or anything else you might need. I would still like to have a presents in the squad if it’s ok with everyone. Let me know if I can lend a hand anywhere. I will see you on the tarmac later next month.

I agree with condor, and if you havent noticed i lost interest a while ago and have quit the game. But i will be back soon i just got a little bored of the game, and already i have been missing all the 1 on 1 fights. and when i get back ill be looking for WMlute and im sure he will want to try to get revenge after i owned him in a nik and spit 16 in the DA.

Sometimes it takes a dumb person to ask a dumb question....999000<------raises hand ...Does the enemy thing work????..I for one don't mind overwheling the enemy.......or the inverse...being overwhelmed by the "bad guys"
I change countries but the enemy thing has never motivated me to do so.
