Title: It's downloading now
Post by: uptown on May 20, 2020, 08:49:30 PM
Yep that's right. 3 days flying in War Blunder and I have to have my old planes back. I don't know if my laptop will handle AH ..kind of doubt it actually...but i'll just sit in a field gun or something until I build or buy a proper rig and equipment.  :joystick:



It's been several years since I've played. A lot has changed here I suspect and several friends of mine from here have passed away but I'm looking forward to playing a truly awesome game again. I really curious to see just how good some of you guys ...or gals, have become. Some of you were insanely good when I left. I hate to see ya now lol. 
I'll be looking for a squad to sign up with more then likely. If ya need bait, I'm your huckleberry  :rofl The ones here that know me, know what I like to fly. I'm getting old and mellow and don't want the drama of old. Funny how age does that  Just wanna fly and die and have fun. I hope to see y'all real soon. Until then take care.  :salute

Howdy uptown!

Turn your settings down in AH and you might be suprised at what you can do.

Thank you guys. My computer is handling the default game settings just fine so far. Both off and online. But this mouse flying ain't going to work for me. Playing on a laptop really sucks, so i'll be a GV guy for awhile. I wish I hadn't got rid of all my CH stuff  :furious I did manage to kill some troops heading to the maproom on my first sortie in a GV.  :rock

Things are quite a bit different as far as field and town and map layout. I damn near couldn't find the town, much less the maproom.
I've forgotten what I forgot about the game. I have a lot of reading up to do. And tons of setting to set. But it's all good. I'm elated to be back in the fight again.

By default the game put me on the Nit side but this time around I think I'll jump around from country to country due to the low player numbers.

 :salute Uptown.

I had pretty much the exact same path to coming back.  I spent two nights on War Blunder and couldn't take it.  I bought a new computer and stick/throttle/pedals a day later.  Now, I'm just waiting for the computer......

See you soon.

lol yeah right Drano. It took me an hour just to get off the ground with this mouse. My number pad for views needs to be on my left instead of the right. I'm a dang mess in the air. I don't even want to talk about my aim. Jeez I stink, but i'm going in there and hopefully get a few to chase me around and let the bad guys get some easy kills. LA7 or K4 might be fun.

It's awesome to see all the big improvements made in the mechanics and such. Seen a few new GVs too  :rock When I took the 51s out for a ride I was just grinning form ear to ear. I can't wait in get in all stuff. P40s, 38s, jugs...all of em  :x

Maybe somewhere in the future. My wife would hit the ceiling if I bought one of those right now. She got pissy over a 50 dollar twisty stick and the fact that I got back into this.  :rolleyes:

My kids are grown and out of the house, I had someone gift me a HOTAS setup and I stilllllllll got the look from the wife. I'm like honey, my days of staying up until the next day are over.

I had a warthog throttle and a VKB Gunfighter show up on the same day.  I got the look from the wife, but it was out of my personal account.....all she said was.."do I want to know?"

Absolutely not.  LOL
