Ok, first and foremost.. DAMNNNNNN!!! What a pleasure it was getting schooled today in open mealee!! I've been a video game pilot for 20yrs, and a damn good one.. played the hell out of War Online Pacific and was kicking ass.. I felt ready so I paid my $14.95 dues with the intent of insta-domination... hahahaha... Fly for 5 minutes to get to the battlefield, 30seconds to get shot down and repeat.. 6 different planes and 3 hours later, i humbly bow my head in respect to you killers out there.. I am currently in the field medical hospital suffering from Extreem Noobism deficiency disorder.. Hoping to be cleared for flight again soon...
One thing is certain.. I am here to stay.. love it.. so I have a slew of questions hoping to get answered in effort to help me fast track my learning curve...
1.) I am using Oculus Rift to play in VR. Is everybody in the open melee arena in VR or is it cross platform with vr and non vr players in same arena? Is everybody in rift or is it mix htc and rift?
2.) Comms... I figured out the mic well enough, is it all chat where both friendly and enemy can communicate or is it just team chat?
3.) when In tower, how can you change your jump off point or are you designated one spawn point? It seems that I am often very far from the battle.
4.) what are the objectives other than shooting down the enemy? How does a team capture an enemy airfield?
I really appreciate your help gents and all I will say is this.. enjoy shooting me down now while Im noobing because before long I'll be the guy that you HAVE to look out for and I will be doing it in the oddball planes that nobody really uses.. 😉😎
Again, Thank you for the schooling today, good job to the enemy that repeatedly shot me down and to the team I was on.. deepest apologies for being cannon fodder and a hindrance to the mission..

Welcome to Aces High. Questions are good. Questions are how we learn.
This is a link to an official Aces High web page which will answer a lot of your questions:
http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/first-timers/learning-to-fly
This is a link to my very unofficial web page which may also answer some questions:
https://kentwoodstationnet.000webhostapp.com/NewPilots/NewPilotsStart.html
Now some of your specific questions:
1.) Not everyone is using VR. I'm not. I have a simple joystick and screen set up.
2.) Chat and voice are mostly your own team. There is a text channel, 200, which lets you chat with all players on all teams. It often is full of trash talk, so be wary.
Check this page out from the Aces High Site:

Check this page out from Kentwood Station:
https://kentwoodstationnet.000webhostapp.com/NewPilots/TextAndRadio.html
3.) When in the tower, you are at a specific airfield. You can double-click on a friendly field to jump to that field, and launch from there. Since this is a flight simulator, you take off, climb out, and fly to where ever the fight is. Once you learn to read the map, it will help you find the fight.
4.) Shooting down the enemy is, of course, the first objective. But we do have goals to give us something to fight for. You can work with other players to capture an enemy field. If you read through the links I posted it will give you a clearer picture.
Basically most airfields have a town nearby. You have to kill 75% of the buildings in town. Once you do that, the flag in town turns white, indicating it can be captured. Then you drop troops in town. If all ten of your troops make it to the map room in town, you capture the field. There are anti-aircraft guns around the town, and they will kill your troops, so you have to kill the guns as well as destroy the buildings. This is just the basic capture model for an airfield. There are other rules for vehicle bases and ports, etc. But this should get you started.
Check out the links I posted. Others will undoubtedly chime in with more info. Welcome to Aces High.

Welcome! I was hoping you would come over from War Online. You seemed enthusiastic and we need that here.
1.) I am using Oculus Rift to play in VR. Is everybody in the open melee arena in VR or is it cross platform with vr and non vr players in same arena? Is everybody in rift or is it mix htc and rift?
AH supports a number of VR setups. many types are used, but as a guess I think maybe less than a third use VR. the rest use hat switches or in the case of old timers the number pad on the keyboard. Dont think it gives you an advantage with VR. I have used all three setups and I still think my thumb moves faster than my head in VR :devil But yes all versions .... thumb, number pads, and VR are are used in the arenas.
2.) Comms... I figured out the mic well enough, is it all chat where both friendly and enemy can communicate or is it just team chat?
when you hit the "/" key by default it opens the radio bar. Each of the first 4 drop downs can be set to different channels, all text channels. The last box is VOX or voice over internet. Drag you mouse over the name/number and type in a new channel on any of the drop downs. Under 200 is country/team, over 200 is all three countries/teams.
3.) when In tower, how can you change your jump off point or are you designated one spawn point? It seems that I am often very far from the battle.
As Mongoose said, double clicking on any green base on the map will move you to that field. Remember, upping at a field in the middle of the action means you'll be low and slow for all those killers that are higher and faster. Most people up one bas back from the action and use the time from the back base to get a bit of altitude and speed. Some take it to extremes and climb to 20k+, other set a cap at 10K and work the fights from there, or less. Its up to you how much of an alt advantage you want to give the enemy.
4.) what are the objectives other than shooting down the enemy? How does a team capture an enemy airfield?
You need the guns in town (or on the field for vehicle bases), and a white flag for airfield towns (yellow dot near fields on the map), or Vehicle hangers down at vehicle bases to drop 10 troops either by M3, or C47 "goonie" to capture the fields. Listening in on "local" (purple) channel on the radio can help you follow along with what other players near you on your team are doing.
There are also "Achievements" you can earn. While they dont help win the war they are sometimes fun to complete and help you earn those "stars" you see next to other players names.
I really appreciate your help gents and all I will say is this.. enjoy shooting me down now while Im noobing because before long I'll be the guy that you HAVE to look out for and I will be doing it in the oddball planes that nobody really uses.. 😉😎

SAAM I AM
Im guessing your name in the game is SAAMIAM. If it is your doing pretty good, 4 kills, 1 assist in 13 sorties. This game is tough, and most of the guys/gals you'll be flying against have been doing it a long time. I myself have been playing this game for 13 years and STILL get shot down a lot. As long as you have fun and dont let the "deaths" bother you this game is a blast! There is lots to learn, and lots to do. A lot of friendly people are here and are very willing to help you out.
Never worry about asking questions, between all of us here, we have an answer.
Again, Welcome!

Thank you Gents!,
I already love the community!! I shall check out the links, study the flights of my peers and shall see you in the skies boys!!
Side note on my gamer tag SAAMIAM.. Wayyyyyy back from 2007 to 2010 I was 3rd worldwide on Ace Combat 6 multiplayer and became famous/feared for my insane abilities using the SAAM missile system (Semi Active Air to Air Missiles)..
my then 9 year old daughter and fan of dr.seuss coined the name Saam i am and it stuck ever since..
See you in the skies!,

Welcome to AH Saam.
There are a couple of other aspects of the game that might be of interest to you, like joining up with a squad. There are many squads looking for new recruits and I think that is the fasted way improve your skill and knowledge in AH. Another is FSO, it takes place 3 Friday nights a month at 11:00 pm eastern in the Special Events Arena. It's a squad event, but you don't have to join a squad, just hook up with one before the start. It's a 2 hour scenario with objectives and missions assigned. Some say it's the best part of AH.

Let me know if you want to schedule a session with a trainer. :D

This is an older set of films but they cover most of the info you need if you have any questions you can find me day or night on my discord which I will link here as well. Have a good one and welcome to what's left of AH.

Please feel free to wing up with the 113th Lucky Strikes. We fly Saturday evenings around 7:00PM EST, vox 113.

Welcome to Aces High <S> Not seeing you fight or knowing you at all but knowing you've flown flight sims and know BFM/ACM it's really just getting to know the new flight model and game mechanics I'd venture to say.
The ONLY question we won't forgive is the one you don't ask!!
by the way nOOb :)

Wayyyyyy back from 2007 to 2010
I just downloaded AHIII after quite a few years since playing it several hours a week, stated on "Confirmed Kill", then "Warbirds", then "AH" when it 1st came out.. Have to learn from scratch also, just thought the "wayyyyyy back" comment was funny.. :cheers:
I'm now xxIcerxx, in keeping with my original login name of "Icer". I will say check around and join a squad that fits your schedule and gameplay type, makes it a LOT better flying with others and having people looking out for you.. at least it used to!

Welcome to the crew...

Welcome to the new addiction!
Aside from the MA, we hope you check us out in Friday Squad Operations (FSO) and other special events. If you are able to show up but don't have a squad to fly with the first time, we will help to get you matched up with an organized squad so you can get the full experience.
Glad to have you in the community!

SAAM I AM , seems I remember getting one of your birds, but none the less, welcome to Aces High. This is the best WW2 sim I have found. If I can be of assistance please feel free to contact me. :salute

Hey Devil Dog, I flew with you this morning during the slaughter of being outnumbered 9 to 3.. Semper Fi and thanks for the back up.. each day I get better and better.. Thanks To DLO, Higheye, Racdog, and the rest of the midnight oil burners for answering my noob questions and guiding me to victory.. As for AkAk... that guy kills me... literally.. LOL.
If you dont have VR, Get it and I swear you will never play any other way again.. I fell out of my chair today when I landed my beat up Typhoon because when I came to a stop the momentum carried me out of my chair onto the floor.. crazy..
My kill death ratio is shiity but honestly what can I really expect when I come into an already very very hard game to learn and oh yeah... the other players you face as a noob just happen to be hardcore veterans of the game with 10 to 15 years playing.. I keep coming back for love of the game, spirit of competition and because Marines never ever walk away from a good fight.. Oohh Rhaahh.. I imagine if the tables were turned and you all came into Ace Combat where I am the 15 yr vet you would experience the same punishment.. but you wont. Why? Because I shelved Ace Combat for a real Flight combat game!, see you in the skies Boys!!

Welcome to the unfriendly skies SAAMIAM.....It just be a matter of time before you get use to the steep learning curve.....This isn't arcade at all.....You will be just fine...... :salute

If you haven't tried a scenario yet there's a good one tomorrow, Saturday 8/31, from noon til midnight ET. Spitfires and Hurricanes for the good guys.

Or jump in a 109E they are a ton of fun to fly :x

Hi SAAM, didn't mean to pounce on ya so badly last night. :devil.
I remembered you had this post too late. Was just about to message you again but you had logged. I guess I don't blame ya. Don't get discouraged. Those are all learning experiences! :old:
Your experience reminds me when I started. Played some combat flight sim before AH. Thought I was going to kick some tail. Ended up getting drilled left and right by crazy good fighters. There is a lot to learn, if you want to learn. For me if was the funnest thing to learn. I'd highly recommend going to the dueling arena with me or someone once in a while and learn ACM, 1v1 combat.
Somethings I noticed when fighting you. You need to look around and check 6 a lot more. In those furball situations, every 5-10 seconds or so, perhaps even more rapidly than that. Learn to fly the plane while looking behind you essentially. I use a hat switch soooo, can't say much about VR.
Take stall limiter off. It will be very beneficial. You will be able to turn a lot harder. I noticed that it appeared like just wernt getting enough turn in that spit. Check your flight settings in the options while in the MA on the clipboard. You will get a lot more out of your plane.
Once you get killshooter off, you will be able to get much more going interms of plane maneuvering. You need to be very quick with your actions in a furball situations. Whip those plane around and use stall, flaps, throttle, and rollrate to out maneuver your opponent. Be aggressive when someone hops on your 6. Make em work for it. Get into a scissors and get under their nose. Be like a shark when he enters into a swarm of fish. Unpredictable. Quick strikes. Get alt and get speed.
Measuring E (energy) state, getting good merges on planes, get some alt, patience with the alt, using E with alt. understanding the fight. Understanding how each plane flys and what their strengths and weaknesses are, will all help you prepare for the fight you are about to have with them.
Learning defense. This is the hardest part but will come with experience. This game is all about you being in a defensive situation most of the time. Learning how to get guys off your 6, and then counter punching to kill them is some of the best times you can have. Watch this quick video (19 seconds) over and over again to see how a defensive can work. This move will help you greatly to avoid those pesky divers. https://youtu.be/YAi_TRAV4E8
If I see you on next time, I'll show you some things in the DA and will let you join my plane in the MA so you can see how it's done.
Keep at it!

I have a question for Sam, do you use the VR controllers to fly, or do you have a HOTAS setup?
-
Do some research on how to fly BFM and use of the energy management egg concept. Many players know bits and pieces of theses two subjects but, fail to teach/demo the all the basics to new players which leads to a lot of newbie frustration. It’s the concept of crawl, walk, run that we all started out with. :salute

Hey Brother,
Thanks so very kindly for the kind words and advice.. all duly noted and will be put into practice. No need to worry about me becoming discouraged friend.. I always take a beating as a learning experience and look forward to more "Shark Tank" nights.. 👍
I'm still amazed that I never heard of this game until 3 months ago as I am a flight combat fanatic!! LOL.. Probably because I was always a console player until this year when I got a rift.
Hell, my call sign "SAAM I AM" comes from Ace Combat when I was ranked 3rd global from 2006 to 2011 when I dominated the game with my F/A 18 and used Semi Active Air to Air Missles (SAAM). BandaiNamco even produced a shoulder patch in my honor.. LOL
So to be honest, to come in here and face you killers is quite humbling after being so dominant in AC for so many years.. LOL But dont worry, This diddlying Marine might get knocked down but he never stops coming... hahaha
Regarding the settings.. keep in mind that Im flying with Oculus Rift (diddlying awesome) and using the touch controllers so I am literally sitting in the cockpit of a scaled plane with my hand on the planes flight stick and throttle in the cockpit (not a HOTAS). I will never fly without VR again.. Flying this way is not without some limitations however....
1.) Checking six.. I dont have the luxury of full view behind me like you do with the hat, I can only see as far as my neck can turn and my cockpit bubble will allow. (This cracks my kids up when they see me frantically trying to look behind me while in the headset). So without a doubt non vr players have an advantage with six checking.
2.) stall limiter is already off.. I'll have to chalk that one up to "noobism" and poor E management. Also, I get so wrapped up in trying to get inside that I forget to break away for a minute and regain speed/alt.
3.) convergence... Now here is what is killing and frustrating the hell our of me.. I am really struggling with the firing dope. I find myself getting shot down by a single pass often be it from behind, head on, from under or above.. Single burst from the enemy and Im down. But for me, Its taking for ever.. Im not sure if its vr to non vr lag or if I am not leading correctly or what. For example, I shot down this guy named "Joker" last night while in a Jap Zero and it literally took my entire load of ammo to do it. Lots of time I run out of ammo and not getting the kill.. I see my tracers merge plotting but no hits.. What am I doing wrong there?
Her is the single most frustrating and "I don't get it" thing about this game so far (no, its not the runway vultures 'cause situating permitting, I too shall Buzzard). Its the intentional ramming. The guy that crashes into you on purpose because he knows that you will die and he will live.. Can anybody explain to me just how the hell any plane can survive a high speed mid air collision? Accidents happen and planes will collide, i get it but to those who exploit that part of the game and weaponize collisions. well, you're just a big Ole bag of sweetheart... lol.
I don't check the forums as often as I should but to be here is time away from flying.. 😉
Some other things thats hard to do while in VR...
Using the keyboard... Super hard to use the keyboard when ya can't see it.. So If you happen to send me a Salute and I don't return it, just know that this Marine snapped to and sent ya a crisp one right back.. 4 times now Ive crashed while sending, or attempting to send a salute.
Planes with yokes.... In VR, flying the Mosquitto (why is it missing the 55mm cannon?) or B25,26 ect with a yoke vs a flight stick is sketchy.. If the game feels you are too quick on the left/right movement, it will lock up the yoke and give you a message (Host message, dont move yoke so quickly) well, in a fight, by the time you regain control of the yoke its too late, either you been shot down or crash..
Lastly, controller mapping.. The touch controllers are the only way to go while in vr. Why? Immersive realism.. Quite simply you have what feels like a .38 snubnose pistol grip in each hand and while flying in vr and with the flight stick visually in your hand, you brain begins to think that you are actually holding the actual stick in the plane..
Coolest thing/weirdest thing to happen to me in VR so far.. I was coming in hot in a Typhoon, I got it slowed down just enough for a picture perfect landing and when my plane finally came to a stop, the momentum kept me going and I face planted out of my chair onto the floor.. my wife is still laughing at me and its been like 3 days since it happened..
Without a doubt, playing in VR has some disadvantages when facing off against a non vr Ace like yourself, but to me its worth it to escape the every day grind and grit of society and transport myself into WWII to blow some toejam up!!
Again, I very much appreciate the advice so keep em coming. I will post this reply in the training forum as well so the rest of the killers can share in my reply and your advice..
Oh yeah, one more thing... Squadron invites..
So, as a brand new player to AH and new member to this outstanding community, I wish to experience it as a whole before committing to an existing squad or starting one.
I started three months ago and flew with the fine fine gentlemen and pilots in Rooks. Special thanks to Higheye, KimoSabe, Driver and Diver, Racdog, Pops, Dlo and anybody that I forgot to mention.. Great great people and really fluffluff'n good pilots.. I have just switched to Knightsand will be in support of these killers for the next three months before switching to Bishops for three months.. After that I will find a home and settle in to start building my legacy.. hehehe
Till then boys.... see you in the skies!!,
Saam

This sounds so Most Excellent Diggit that I am contemplating VR. Thanks for the image.
For convergence, you'll have any number of people suggest any number of settings. For me, 300 yards works for .50s, Hizookas and MG151s. Other cannon I set at 250. .303s are useless beyond 200 yards, but chop a plane up pretty nicely at that range or less. I set those at 175. The important thing is not to start shooting until you're close to your convergence setting.
You've got an excellent attitude. We will consider you for the AH cloning program. We like to advertise it as being voluntary. Heh.

I think the VR controllers put you at a bit of a disadvantage. There seems to be a bit of lag to the input to me.
Her is the single most frustrating and "I don't get it" thing about this game so far (no, its not the runway vultures 'cause situating permitting, I too shall Buzzard). Its the intentional ramming. The guy that crashes into you on purpose because he knows that you will die and he will live.. Can anybody explain to me just how the hell any plane can survive a high speed mid air collision? Accidents happen and planes will collide, i get it but to those who exploit that part of the game and weaponize collisions. well, you're just a big Ole bag of sweetheart... lol.
The thing you need to understand about collisions, is what YOU see is WHAT YOU GET. So if you avoid ALL collisions you will never take damage from a collision. Due to lag what you see on your computer is a bit off from what the other guy sees on his. SO HTC has set it up to go by what your seeing. If you collide you take damage even if the other guy doesnt see a collision on his screen. At the speed we are flying a millisecond covers a lot of distance, so a half dozen milliseconds of lag means you SEE yourselves flying close working to get your shot, but the other guys see you as no danger . The biggest thing to remember is to AVOID the collision and you wont collide. That means that if your in a buff and a guy climbs up your butt and it looks like he will collide, maneuver your plane or it will count as a collision and you'll take damage.
There use to be a great gif showing the difference from both points of view. What you see is what you get, avoid collisions and you wont collide and take damage. Close encounters are the other guy FIRING as he passes close/collides with you and yes you take damage during those.
3.) convergence... Now here is what is killing and frustrating the hell our of me.. I am really struggling with the firing dope. I find myself getting shot down by a single pass often be it from behind, head on, from under or above.. Single burst from the enemy and Im down. But for me, Its taking for ever.. Im not sure if its vr to non vr lag or if I am not leading correctly or what. For example, I shot down this guy named "Joker" last night while in a Jap Zero and it literally took my entire load of ammo to do it. Lots of time I run out of ammo and not getting the kill.. I see my tracers merge plotting but no hits.. What am I doing wrong there?
Leading is hard to figure out. different guns have different ballistics.The best thing I can tell you is film each flight. Watch them later. When you score hits rewind the film and look at the lead when you shoot. Jumping into the other plane can also show you where your rounds are missing....to high, too low, out front or behind......most are behind :)
-
Saam, a good feasibility test for using the VR controllers is flying the standard aerobatic figures.
I don't see why the VR controllers can't be mapped to get a rear view but you do have limited buttons.
Collisions happen, when you understand the system you'll appreciate it. Some people claim to exploit collisions but that's mostly BS. It's generally not intentional, they are avoiding the collision, you aren't. The one sided collisions are actually more fair. It's hard to understand until you realize it's 4 planes not 2. Your plane is on both your PC and the bandit's PC and the relative positions are slightly different on each PC.
Proper gunnery is easy when you already understand ballistics. Just turn on the gunsight aid in the TA to see the proper lead when you have a bandit locked to practice with. This will help you learn the proper sight picture. Alt-Tab turns on friendly lock. Tab locks nearby aircraft.
-
On same options tab, you can also turn on precision Dive Bomb sight, also. Great for learning bombing techniques--- if interested. Found under Arena Options-Arena Flags-Flight Mode Flags-Precision Dive bomb Sight/Lead Computing Sight. With the Lead Computing, you need to hit TAB key while looking at Drone, it Pad locks it and gives the green sight :aok

Both those options are enabled in the TA,crtl tab will bring up the lead calculating gunsight and if you load ords it will bring up the precision bomb sight,this also works with rockets.
I hope to be hanging out in the TA soon,if you see me just ask and I'll be glad to help.

Considering I spent 3 of the best years of my life a STA Marine, ballistics are something I am very very, intimately familiar with friend. I hadn't even thought of applying that skillset to the guns in this game!! Shall implement immediately!! Thanks Brother!!

I’m not familiar. What does “STA” mean? Thanks?

I saw you on last night, keep up the effort. I think you should give a stick a try, you mention not having good six views, my understanding is that with VR you use rear view with the hat switch in combination with the VR so you can look straight back thats what you do with older head tracking gear like Track IR. A logitech extreme 3d pro is pretty cheap, (less than 40 dollars,) but will last for a time and if you didn't like it you can always donate or sell it. Personally I cannot fly with a twisty stick for rudder control but a lot of people do. My joystick is a Microsoft Sidewinder FFB I got from good will for 7.99 and my throttle is an old 3d pro joystick, so you don't have to spend a bundle to try out physical hotas.
I saw you mentioned War Wings and Ace Combat and I was wondering if you had flown any other less arcady sims and what you thought of them. IL2, Rise of Flight, MSFS, DCS, etc.

Sorry for the late reply..
For the other sims.. as i had stated Ive been a strictly console player since my first console PONG in '75 and it wasn't until 2018 that I began dabbling in PC Gaming, and even that has been specific to vr supported games.. I never liked the mouse, keyboard setup for control.. felt too foreign to me.
I have tried War Thunder, World of Aircraft and DCS. I dont like any of them War Thunder and WoA has that crazy mouse control thing going on and i just hate it.. DCS has crappy vr support (no touch controller support like AH). Also, DCS is too overwhelming with information and variables and the gameplay is way too slow for my taste.. Probably because of console arcade/sim gameplay is lightning speed by comparison.
Aces High is the perfect mix of sim/gamespeed and really really did a great job with touch controller usability..
In short, Aces High is the only thing I play now as nothing captures my desire better.. THANKS hightech!! Love your work..
