American Airlines in-flight WiFi works terrific. On my flight from Dallas to Houston yesterday, I connected to AH and flew two sorties at 35K much to the amazement of the guy sitting next to me who said, "How much closer are you going to get to that other plane before you shoot him down??". The plane he was referring to was GREEN....NOOB...
So, am I the first person to fly a sortie while truly FLYING??? If so, Skuzzy, I would like my award to be an automatic increase in my hit% to 20%. :x

PS - AH II, DONT LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT

35K......... Alt Dweeb :neener:
:rofl Now the guy that was sitting by you may have been bit by the AH bug too. :D
-
LOL that gives a new meaning to "Alt Monkey"
Ohhh BTW can't you get arrested for the distibution of addictive products to innocent people???
I mean AH is more addictive than crack, correct???
-
But how much did the wifi cost you?

:aok :aok :banana:

:airplane:
You sir, are a true geek!
:rock

The WiFi is 9.00 for flight legs 500 miles or less and 12.99 for anything longer than 500 miles. I was shocked at the speed too...really great connections and yes, the guy asked me how it worked, where to go to get it and how much. When I told him 15 bucks a month his response was, "holy crap...my wife would love that since golf is 78 bucks a round! IM IN!!"
Yes...this game is worse than crack...you can't stop and apparently one fix lasts until your wife ack shoots you down or you pass out from not eating for a 24 hour period (rockstar heroin addiction) whichever comes first. I was on a business trip about 4 months ago and started playing at 6pm. Forgot to eat dinner, drank about 8 bottles of water while playing and looked at the clock and it was 4:50AM...I had to be up for work in an hour and a half....needless to say we captured the base and I was off to work!!! :banana: :rock

any lag in the connection?

Not any lag that was noticeable. I also rode with Cropgun about a month ago and that was riot...Im talkin to him on VOX while the gal next to me was telling me I was breaking the law by making VOIP phone calls on airplanes...I coughed on her and she shut up...she was not hot.
The connection was really very good actually. I was surprised. Anyway, if you fly on a laptop and have to travel, do it...its freakin hilarious to watch people BEHIND you craning their necks out to see what the hell you're doing. Yes, they see a VP of Sales playing a flight sim online..I just tell them I hate adults...

Virgin America are using the same system as American and are offering it for free on flights until the new year.

really awesome changeup.
what joystick setup did you take? and i wont believe you busted out the rudder pedals in flight :O
-
Negative on the rudder pedals...I take a Logitech "BOUNCEMASTER-NOCALIBRATIONIDIOTSTICK" 3D Pro when I travel because the F4U-C simulator cockpit won't fit in the overhead and I don't trust the baggage maroons.
In fact, the gal was kinda dumbfounded at first...she thought I was working! I think she had a couple of beers the night before because she was giving the mating call of the blonde.."Im sooooo drunk!". I lied and said I was a DoD software engineer and I was testing the new F22 Raptor that was shaped like a KI84...I am sure you are all surprised to hear she didn't know what either was so I continued to bash her brainpan with useless trivia.
I pack the joystick in my suitcase...it goes through security just fine..however, they give me that "look"...you know...the "growup" look. I tell them to blow it out their anus and then ask them if they want to 1 v 1. They never do so I "SkyRock" them in front of everyone in line by saying, "that's what I thought beeatch...who's your daddy?" I don't suggest saying that to the TSA folks unless you are at least Platinum on your airline because the full body crevice search is not pleasant. I am pretty sure the guy had done hard time.
Anyway, it travels fine....DO NOT GO ON VACATIONS without your laptop and joystick...you won't miss any missions and nothing says "I love you" to your wife more than taking your AH equipment.

13 bucks really isn't bad though if you are going to use the interwebz the whole time...but I may wait until the plane offers plugs as my battery only lasts about 2 1/2 hours...

No, unlike ILLEGAL addictive products, it isn't illegal :) otherwise, every pharmacist would be in jail,lol

So,
All things being equal,
Would your true airspeed be that of the aircraft you are in + the speed you are flying in AH? You might also have been the first person to go mach 1+ in Aces High.
There just might be an air medal on the way!
This opens up so many new options! Here is a new quote for those who fly, while flying...
This might be heard on a range channel, "Yes, stewardess, a soda and some nuts would be just fine, thank you".
Come on guys think of some more!!!
Hi-Tec, can you fix this 767, the bathroom stinks... :rofl

Once again, let me point you to Virgin America. Free WiFi (for now) and plugs at all seats.

:joystick: "No ma'am. I'm not flying this plane. I'm playing a video game. This plane doesn't have guns." :airplane:

What happens if you convince the passenger next to you that you're flying a UAV as an experiment to see what happens when you tip the edge of the wings on your airliner? :cool:

LOL! That made me laugh pretty good.
ack-ack

There's a whole new world of nervous fellow passengers if you match your joystick movements to the movements of the airliner. :joystick:
-
It was really cool when I pushed the flight attendant call button and told the flight attendant that the ailerons werent working properly...she didn't find much humor in that.
Both pilots asked what I was doing when I deplaned! DOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!
