Hey all,
Well had my first few live sorties. Crashed and burned on all but one without a kill but even with that I love this game. The main reason I love it is the people that play it. I've mainly been circling aerodromes getting the hang and going to hot spots to see if I can get my first kill. Slowly getting used to the controls and flying my spit with minimal stalling! Had a moment when I thought I would get my first kill on a B17 only to miscue it and fly across the back of them taking the full wrath of the tail gunner!!
What makes it better is when someone talks to you to ask you to do something. Most often I tell them I'm a rookie and 9 times out of 10 I get the same response: 'no problem, let me know if I can help'. Really feel welcome and will definitely be subscribing after my trial! Hoping to hit the training area soon but hard to arrange a meet in there with my job but will come together at some point.
Once again, thank you for an awesome game and community,
Nath

Zack will happily teach you how to grow old and daft gracefully.
Bake him a pie and he'll, well, we don't talk about that :confused:
-
there are some pretty good sticks in the dueling arena also :aok

I would say concerning the TA, It is not a Book only arena. Pop in and just ask if anyone can help out. It is not only the Trainers who can help. As you have found out a lot of the players will help out where they can, so just by asking, you may get the response you are wanting.
Be patient though, it is not a short journey. This is not an arcade game. As you are finding out, it will take a long time to be able to go out on sorties and get kills. But be patient, and it will come!
Welcome to the addiction though!

I just got 3 kills!! Two B-17's and something else I can't remember as Knight 51's gunner :D Do I choose what country I am, I don't mind the one I'm in, just wandered.

you can choose the country you want to fly with when your in the tower, bring up your clipboard and hit oclub you'll have the option of changing countries in there. default for the game is bishops if memory serves me correctly.
-
Congrats on your first kills! :aok
You can change the country you fly for in the O'club. Just click "O'Club" on your clipboard and then click "Change country". It's always fun to fly for different countries to get to know some of the people you fly against. :salute

Thank you. Didn't manage to land the kills, got dropped by a 190 whilst I was on approach :cry

190s are timid,they do that..... its the only way they can get kills
-
Stay knights they are more talkative and will check your six. :)
The others countires will steal your kills and not talk to you :)
Its character building flying in Knights because we never win any maps :)

How do I get an Avatar? I tried one but apparently it was too big. :bhead

Training arena saves me a lot of time when testing airplanes because of the airstarts at some fields.
Some fields in the training arena have the full planeset and will airstart you at 20k......but air or ground start depends on which direction you select for takeoff.

You are from the UK so you have to have a 1950's or 1960's comedy legend in your avatar :)
Norman Wisdom or Benny Hill are free to use as a Avatar :)
-
as far as avatars go, there are a lot of free programs that can help you.
always set it to original picture size and make your pics 80 x80. then specify to "keep original size".
then you will have no problems putting it together.
it worked for me. :old:

Go to the home page and look up stats for your pilot in LW arena and you will find the 190 dweebs name there. :D

Can you teach him how to roll up under Lancs and pivot and fire like your 38 is on a damned barstool?
I don't fly Lancs much to begin with, and your Lightning surgery shenanigans aren't making me want to ever again.
I think you took all three of mine down in ~6 seconds, and exposed yourself for all of 1.5 of that. :salute (I'll salute you even if you don't salute back.)

Nate 617. You wanna have some fun tonight ? If you are flying as bish (you can change counties every 12 hours), you can join us here :
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,335473.0.html
I'm inviting you to join up, have some fun, and maybe learn something.
You can fly a bomber and drop stuff, or fly a fighter and defend our precious bombers against the vermin that attack.
Read up, ask questions, then join up.
Note: I do not have a "wingman" for this event. If you are not annoying, I invite you to fly my wing sir.
