keep in mind I've only been here a few months......
I was wondering ..... has there ever been any teams or squadrons here who have ever put on a synchronized air show in Aces High?

19 views........no answers.
Yes...I was serious.

Usually when a player dies an airshow of some sort is put on. I don't think there are any squadrons dedicated to it though.

They do a memorial fly by type of thing for that. As for an air show....... why? :huh Its a fighter game, not a flying circus, although we do have our share of clowns!
-
C'mon........there's never been a squad of like 5 particularly talented guys here who performed some kind of synchronized maneuvers for exhibition?
-
Start one.
-
not that I've ever heard of, why would anyone want to? Its a fighter game. You want to fly "pretty" go fly "Flight Sim X"

Zetanine - If you research netlag in detail you'll have your answer.

I usually go into the TA, turn on smoke and do a bunch of crazy stunts. I've been told it's somewhat of an airshow when I don't screw up! :lol

it strikes me odd that nobody in however many years this place has been here.......has not even attempted that....
I don't particularly think I would use the adjective "pretty" to describe some synced combat formation manuevers......but to each her own TF
as most of you can see from my posts here........ I think in shades of grey...
I'll take the answer as a qualified "no" and move on.

It has been discussed but the idea never took off. As aforementioned the only times the community gets together is to do a memorial service.

I've seen some impressively organized bomber flights... that is... until their bombs dropped. Then I saw the tower. Those were nice looking though. :aok

Notch, HB555 and Myself (Rep0man trained with us but was unable to make the memorial flight) have done an airshow type display for 68KO.
I have more footage of the evening however I had some issues with the film viewer at the time with too many stutters with the airplanes in close formation.

There was in the H2H community.

Since you don't appear to have taken the hint, I'll give you more ... {grin}.
Let's take the simplest of formations - a 3 aircraft formation wingtip to wingtip in level flight - start with 2 of you, with a foot or two between you and your partner. Assuming 250 ms of lag between you and your partner at a speed of 250 MPH, how are you and a partner going to fly in such a manner that you are wing tip to wing tip from the point of view of an onlooker? You can't fly wingtip to wingtip with your partner on your FE, that puts you about 30 yards ahead of him with respect to the observer. Nor can he try to position himself wingtip to wingtip to you. Now, add in a 3rd player, with another lag value. Where does he fly, and how does he orient himself to the both of you?
Now , add in another observer, and another, each with a different amount of lag from the first, and each with varying amounts of lag from you and your partners. What do they see?

I have seen attempts at airshow like formation maneuvers in the TA, but nothing anyone had actually organized and practiced. I have also seen some solo airshow displays that were pretty cool.

Sometimes I'll give enemy ground defenders at a base a little aerobatic airshow if I'm really bored and they are really crappy shots.

I'm not aware of anything in this game... But in some modern jet fighter game there was a youtube video going around with a Blue Angels type display. It wasn't so much an airshow as a video, and yes, according to the bloopers, lag was a major headache. They pulled it off though (numerous takes for a video will let you do that), and it was pretty darn cool.
Not something I'd put my time into doing, mind you, but pretty darn cool nonetheless.

Not this game....but its the same idea. (I think they use Lock-On)

actually princess giggles....I asked you an additional question in this thread....so your math is as bad as your emoticon laced sense of humor......

You should try out the FSO and look around you especially on bombing runs. Formation flying at it's best. It will make your spine tingle.
