Title: Hi, new player here
Post by: Jack9934 on October 08, 2013, 01:42:14 AM
And i'd like to say Aces High has to be my new favorite simulator. It's just so amazing, a wonderful community and such a diverse amount of things to do. I love the air combat, the squadron play, the ability to man the guns of ships and Anti-air turrets, it's just a very nice game overall. Hope to see you in the skies soon.  :salute

Welcome to the game  :cheers:

Just a little tip, don't just stick to the normal planes, this game is far more fun when you push the older/higher Eny planes out of the hanger and go brawl against the fancy Late War stuff :joystick:

Just remember you don't have to stay loyal to a chess piece, if you choose to it's ok though :aok

Link up with a trainer, will make the learning curve a lot less steep

YouTube...... Search for vuduvince. He has hundreds of videos ranging from the basics to him flying around enjoying the game. Puts perspective to leading your enemy. Snap shots. I can't speak for anyone else but the vids helped my game.

Welcome Jack!

I also recommend the search of VuduVince's You Tube training vids. You can also find them in the Help & Training section of the forums. Feel free to post any questions you have as to set-up, game play, etc. over there as well.

Welcome to the darkside Jack!! here are a couple of things you should know.. 1.ALWAYS look around while flying! 2. Ask questions, this is a extremely hard game. 3. Each plane has its own flying style, so don't expect that each plane will perform the same way. 4. I would recommend learning the N1K2, ki84 the spit 8, or the F4U1d, these planes are well balanced and are good to teach you the basic areas of Air Combat Maneuvers.

Two comments:

1. Don't say we are a wonderful community - someone is sure to come along and prove you otherwise. We are, but just don't say it out loud...

2. Realize that this game is like the Hotel California - you can cancel your account any time you like, but you can never leave. I have been leaving this game since 2001.

Welcome  :joystick:

  Enjoy the game and don't get frustrated as we all took some time to get proficient enough to stay alive in the toughest Air Combat online.  :joystick:

Don't forget to look up Latrobe's videos either!  I'll make it easy to find BOTH of them. :aok

Latrobe's Channel

Vudu's Channel

http://www.youtube.com/user/vuduvince/videos

Both are awesome, and I myself really enjoy watching their video's.

If your married, be sure to say hi to the wife on occasion. Wife ack is deadlier than anything in the game.

If you have a girlfriend, well just go ahead and say goodbye. Easier that way.

If you like sleep, be sure to take up buffs and auto-climb, that way you can get sleep on climb-out.

If you don't drink...........start. I recommend going hard early. Beer takes too much time to go to the bathroom.

Don't get partial to staying in the air too long, someone better than you will always come along and flame you. And that will still hold true years from now when your the best gamer in the world.

and finally, don't forget to have fun, this is a game after all. Too many lose sight of that after a few months.

Welcome to the game.  :aok
