Many new players are entering AH, and I think they should be aware that your views can be adjusted and set. This is not only handy, but down right necessary. Without adjusting your rear(6)view, you can't see much behind ou.
To adjust your views, follow this example of setting and saving your 6 view.
First- get in your plane of choice, I prefer sitting on the runway with engine off. Hold the view you want to set. In this case, the 6 view. While holding that view, use your keyboard "page up" and "page down" to move your "head" up and down. Set it all the way up.
Second - While still holding the view, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move your "head" forward and aft. Move your head all the way foward.
Third - While still holding this view, hit the F10 key. This will "save" the head position setting from that time forward on that airplane.
These steps can be repeated for each view. You will need to adjust the views for each plane, but once you have them set, and saved, they will stay that way for subsequent logins to AH.
I recommend you not adjust your forward view, or if you do be very careful, as this will change your perspective through the gunsight and can throw off your aim.
Good luck, good hunting, welcome to AH.

Good one and I would like to add something.
You can type .squelch 6 to eliminate System kill messages.
These cause the buffer to move very fast at times.
If you do this you will still receive host messages listing your kills, hits, landing, etc and field losses or gains for all sides.
And, if the general chatter is getting out of hand there is my very favorite .squelch 1
Both may be restored by typing .unsquelch xxx
Another one... setup/GUI/ set the movetime slider at the bottom of the bar and get rid of that annoying walk from the tower to anywhere, if it annoys you.
Welcome to Wonderland.

Dago - thanks for the heads up on views...no pun intended (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I signed on yesterday and from I've seen so far, this game and player community are one fine act.

Your welcome, if you have any questions or problems, feel free to ask for help, the guys here are good at that.
I would recommend any new players get and read the help files. It saves alot of time and makes the game more enjoyable when you know what features are available and how to use them.
