I have a lockup problem with my computer and it makes me very frustrated when I fly in main arena.
SO a guy called for a trainer yesterday and as noone answers him I thought "what the heck, Im no ultra dweeb, but I might teach him one or two things anyway".
I offered him to go to the TA with me.
And of we went.
After a while he got the hint on flying as my lessons continued.
Then mr "I know everything" showed up and started to comment my teachin.
I got pissed but kept cool and we changed country and field to get away from the critics.
Now, this was the very last time I ever offered myself to help a newbie. I have done it gladly many times, but this mr "I know everything" just ruined this "happy" feelin with his comments.
Right now I am very irritated because of the lock ups and I know it effects me emotionally when online in AH. Even my posts.
But I really wish sometimes that some people just stayed at brand x and in that kind of community where they belong.

Sad to hear this...
I am sure, however that it is not the general way of doing of the "Training corps", but unfortunately, there are some who take this far too seriously...
Hell, I think we can consider ourselves lucky we are only connected by the net & are not face to face... as I am sure there might be some whacko pulling up a gun at ya one of these days... "F**** B***** YOU SHOT MY CHUTE !..."
-
No it was´nt any of the "training corps" guys. I would have turned my student emidiatly in the hands of a traineer, as I am no traineer and dont have the same knowledge as one. Hell I could use a trainer myself!
But the guy did well after an hour and he really got the hang of the elementeries. Guess that is what matters, really:that someone cares to help.
But this "I know everething" guy just took a dump in my blue cupbord and I am deeply tired of him and the other whinos.
Look, they have made me to a whiner!
And you are so true In what you say, about the gunwacko thing.

Looks like we are in the same mood (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Maybe I should take a plane & come to Gothenburg so that we could grab a couple of Beers (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

(Ok, is it the real shrimps you mean or the kind that smells like fish but taste like chicken?)
Ok a couple of boxes could be easy to arrange

That's unfortunate CRABO....
I was in the TA with Mrs. Badger yesterday while she puttered around learning a new aircraft. I saw you teaching the new guy as well. WTG, as he seemed to be picking it up fast. Looked to me like you were doing a great job. In fact, someone asked if I wanted to FFA and I think I said on her behalf, that she was actually listening in on your lesson describing "scissoring". Of course, then she wanted me to show her how that worked....hehe. I'm going to have to get her a separate account soon. LOL
Maybe you should apply as a trainer?
Anyway, to the point. I think I can help you with your freezing and locking problem without too much problem. I have been building my own Intel/AMD based systems from motherboard up for almost 15 years. In the late 70's we used to build S100 bus systems and use CP/M as an operating system. Most of these type of problems are usually driver, component matching or heat related Send me a private e-mail at the profile listed above and I'll work it through with you till we fix it. It shouldn't take long to get you up and running solid.
Regards,
Badger

Sorry to hear this too.
I have tried to go into the MA a bit lately (my ACM really has suffered after 3 months), and missed the call for the TA. I wouldn't let any one person stop me from doing anything I wanted to do, even your "friend".
Another thing that will help you is to get your student on private and get him to put you on private- this will keep anyone from hearing your comms and eliminate the unwanted assistance. Better still, Roger Wilco allows voice transmission (though I hope your student speaks "Swedish Cook" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)).
Hope this helps!

Crabofix: I can empathize with the feeling of trying to make somthing fun, only to have critics show up and tell you how much your screwing up, and that you should do stuff differently.
BTW What type of lockup are you getting. I.E. Does it require a hard reset? If so disable agp support in directx.

Ive had quite a bit of success with lockups by running disc cleanup before I signe on. I have 64megs of ram and I dont think it is enough. So I clean out temp memory before I play. I still get on now and then, but they are not constant like they were before.

Kieren, I had Crabo over Roger Wilco.... I could have sworn the guy was from Texas or Idaho (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Crabo,
Dont let the know-it-all get to you. I have also gone into the TA and helped a few people despite not being an official trainer. The knowledge that I was able to bring someone up a notch on the AH skill ladder is all I need to keep doing this "unofficial" training.
Although I have never run into this situation myself (I typically either get the other individual on RW or tutor on a private channel) Im sure this person meant well.
If you are a man (as I know you are), let it slide like water off a ducks back. If you are a compulsive, egocentric and take things personally (like I am (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)), hunt them down and kill them repeatedly and mercilessly in the MA! LOL.
On second thought...just let it go! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

The world is full af amazinhunks, a fact I have learned to live with. I must be lucky, havent encountered many attitudes like this In Aces High. Different story in RL....
I know how you feel with the tec problems, sometimes I log in after 4 or 5 reboots, and am fumeing before I hit fly.

Thank you for helping out. We Trainers can't always be there, and any help regular folks are willing to give is MORE than appreciated. You don't have to be some uber-pilot (I'm certainly not!) to be able to help new-comers. A willingness to help and a good attitude are the main requirements to be an effective trainer. I expect Pyro to be looking for trainers for this new tour soon, so if you like training, please apply!
If someone is acting in-apropriately in the TA, a private note to me or Pyro is the best way to deal with it. You don't have an email registered, so I can't contact you directly. If you wouldn't mind, please drop me an email so I can get a few more details.
Again, thanks for helping out.

I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"

Crab, I am surprised someone didnt remind you of the one thing that will quickly deal with an issue like this. Squelch the guy and have your "student" do likewise. Then the dweeb can make all the dumb and unwanted comments he wants and it will only waste his time and not bother you.
