Welcome, and don't feel too bad if you don't get "good" right away. This game is good in that everyone finds thier nitch, whether it be tanks, bombers, fighters, gunnery, etc...
Have fun. <S>

Post by: Vudak on July 06, 2009, 11:01:10 AM: Hi there,

I just typed a similar link list for a new squaddie, so here you go:

This shows you how to set up your views... You can't fight what you can't see.

http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/views/views.htm

Here is Murdr's head positions file. This is a quick-fix for the head positions. You may still want to make minor adjustments.

http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/files/murdr/hpsfiles.zip

You're going to want to extract those to: HTC/Aces High II/Settings/Planes

This talks about Situational Awareness...

http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/sa/sa.htm

Here you can find detailed writeups for most planes...

Enjoy your stay :)

Post by: Ghosth on July 06, 2009, 12:13:18 PM: The secret is to enjoy the journey, AH is one of those places where you may never really arrive.
Treat people with a reasonable amount of respect and consideration, find something you enjoy doing and go do it.
Expect that something to change over time as you grow in knowledge and experience.
Title: Re: Hello from a newb
Post by: AAJagerX on July 06, 2009, 01:54:04 PM: This is the best thing about AH... All these random people just happy to see new people and help out. Type of thing you just can't find on consoles.

Welcome <<S>>

Great aircraft, will be nice to see more of them in the air.

Don't get to good in it though, you'll upset people who say it's a hangar queen and would have rather had their uber-rides added :)

Post by: thndregg on July 06, 2009, 05:32:10 PM: Nothing wrong at all with learning a lesser plane. When you get good in it, think of how you'll do in a later model.

Phase IV: Man I suck. I need help.
Phase V: I'm bad! I rock!
