Title: What process do you go though to run AH?
Post by: Anodizer on October 28, 2008, 12:36:18 AM
1. Open "Volume Control", mute mic, then mic boost...(Don't know why, but won't stay in this configuration if close "Volume Control"...
2. Allow AH permission to pass through the Sunbelt Personal Firewall..
3. Grab drink or whatever...
4. Put on headphones and adjust mic...
5. Log on...

Some of this process is tedious...  I haven't figured out how to just simply make the software firewall let AH through all the time...
The whole adjusting audio properties thing every time is also an annoyance..

Before I fly, I drink 3 energy drinks before taking my shirt off and doing a full body flex in the mirror for about five minutes.  If I am satisfied with what I see and how I feel, I will login and start being a virtual tough guy in the AH skies.

When the box comes up asking if you want to allow AH to access the server with the options to Permit or Deny, there is a checkbox for "make a rule".  Check that, then click on Permit.  You'll never have to do that again.

I run Animal's XP Game Launcher (http://home.comcast.net/~animl/xpgl.htm), select AH, then Launch.  That shuts down all of my excess junk that I don't need running when I'm playing AH (like AV), opens my sound card control panel where I switch to headphones, it runs TrackIR, opens the Cougar Control Center so I can calibrate, and opens Foxy so I can load my AH profile.  Finally, it gives me a dialog that I click OK on to run AH.  When I log out of AH, I just click Restore in XP Game Launcher, and it restores all of the stuff it shut down.

and again, i know....

First i put on this cool japanese wwii pilot outfit. Then i log on, grab my japanese flag in one hand a glass of saki in the other. I then start screaming all the japanese i know very loudly in quite the menacing tone. At this point the kids start getting scared, which in my mind means im "ready".  I then start my flight, most the time i just get hoed by some niki, in a very nasty manner i might add, resulting in me throwing the cat across the room, really hard. So take note: when you ho, a cat gets hurt.

i hate that cat.

I know, sorry im bored, cant fly for another 3 weeks.
