Hi :banana:

:salute Welcome :airplane:
I wanted to add that if you need any help, many of the people here are always
ready to point you in the right direction. You will find an occasion jerk as well.
Don't get discouraged if you find something have trouble with. We all do.
Learning curve can be tough at times, but stick to it, it'll come.
Avoid the Ho.
:cheers: Oz

Welcome to the Aces High BBS. With a name like Wildcatman, I assume you are either a fan of the F4F or of the University of Kentucky (because there is no other worthy College team with a Wildcat mascot). :cool: :banana:

Just a note: ALT + F4 does not grant you nukes, and hitting ENTER three times does not reload your guns. Nefarious fellow pilots with an over-inflated sense of their own comedic talents may misdirect you to try those key combinations. The former will exit the game, the latter may rather quickly put to an end a long and arduous flight.

Welcome to your new addiction . :cheers:

Helpful Hints.
If you need an answer to something, and ask it online, you will get 300 different versions of an answer, mostly unhelpful.
If you want the Real Answer, state something incorrectly and you will get 300 people telling you how wrong you are by offering up the correct answer.
It's all about the presentation :huh
Welcome. Try the Training Arena for flight tips, ignore the people who will invariably try and twist you up, let the drama roll off your back, and never play the game to please anyone else. Play it to enjoy it, you will get out of the game exactly what you put into it. Put fun in. Give a yell if you need anything.

Welcome to AH,as someone said check out the training arena,I'm usually in there week night between 9 pm and 11 pm eastern.
BTW,my Dad had a 68 2door wildcat,430 rocket about 2 tons of tire smoking buick!
Oh and by default the left blinker was on!
:salute

i had a 65-electra 225 and a 66 riviera
-
ERMERGERD! People with Buicks! :O
-
Well....we own every single model of 1934 Ford. All of them..restored to original, driving condition. No showroom stuff here. Dip-painted and on the road most weekends.
Welcome Wildcat...contrary to popular belief, the most important stat you should follow about yourself is HIT%. You're going to need to kill fast in here.
AH is like golf. Its not a game that gives you a lot of positive feedback when you start playing but after you learn the game, its over...you'll be buying memberships all over town.

i had a 65-electra 225 and a 66 riviera

cc? Was that a two stroke or what?
Pretty sure you meant cid. 430cc is small even for a motorcycle unless it's a dirt bike.

Welcome to your new addiction. The first step in rehab is admitting you have a problem.

Excellent point, sorry for the typo. Think this car, in dark green:

:cheers: Oz
I once had a '70 Olds Cutlass with a 350 that literally floated at over 120 mph and, with a nice but nothing special '69 Malibu in between, before that had a '68 Chevy Impala station wagon with a 350 HP 327 (one of the upper tier (but not the top) engine options used in Corvette's that year) in it.
They were both boats but they were both fast. The '64 Belaire and the '69 Plymouth Fury III before and after were just boats.

Welcome!
If you see pictures of naked men in this forum, don't feel threatened - in finland we give warm welcomes in the form of sauna! :cheers:
Btw. put that in your to do list: to go Finland and take part of Virrat AH meeting, drink too much beer, jump in the frozen lake and then head back to sauna (to consume more beer again). Thats how you make real knives to a knife fight - iron needs to be quenched :lol

I just cancelled all future trips to Finland. In fact, Finland just began to glow.

If you have never experienced the full on assault of the Finns, in a scenario, flying drunk off their collective arses, while naked in the sauna, you simply haven't lived.

Welcome. :rock
I was new, back in May. A few things:
1. You will become addicted.
2. You will still need to shower, and still try to eat at normal times. And sleep. Remember these things.
3. If you have teenage kids, they will smirk at your headset at first, then they will stand over your shoulder saying things like "go get that one, no over there, hey I wanna try, hey I want an account."
4. Eventually, you will quietly listen to the boss/wife/cop that pulled you over as they harass you, while your inner voice says "dude, you'd be so dead if I caught you on the deck with no E."
5. You will learn that thinking about how to maintain a perch above a furball while driving a real vehicle down the highway is not a good combination.
6. You will spend hours of your life learning that the mil tick marks in a tank reticule actually have meaning. And you will become proficient at using them.
7. If your addiction gets really bad, and you travel for business, you will bring your headset and joystick with you on the road, and the 24 year old TSA agent at the Xray machine will look you intently for a moment, and quietly nod his head approvingly.
8. You will find yourself watching a war movie with your non-AH pals, and blurt out "NO WAY a Mark VI turrets from one round!... Err, anyone want a beer?"
9. You will begin to think you can fly commercial aircraft, if you really had to.
10. Your wife will say things like "your office now looks like a crack den", and you will respond "no, Tank Town is the crack den." And she will not be amused.

This has to be one of the best welcome posts ever. Hilariously accurate, too.
Well done, Yankee.

Welcome. This thread has become very entertaining....
....and a lot of good advice can be found in SOME of the posts. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Here are some links to video clips for absolute beginners. They start very, Very, VERY simple, and progress to some fairly advanced stuff. I created these video clips to train a Boy Scout troop about 3 years ago. I hope it helps! There are about 29 separate video clips, averaging about 5 minutes each. Here's the link:
