Shida. I am back

Not in, but still around......I think Zack might still be in, but not sure.... :old:
-
:furious GUYS!!!! GET BACK HERE!!!!!! IN!!!!!! nrshida, if you recall (?) I requested you get back, to learn "Your Way"? By NO MEANS, will this be like the #s of Old...but fights are to be had!!!! I missed the "Glory Days"...but would love for you OGs to come back! :rock The "GAME" continues, but how can I relive/learn/understand those times, without you fellers showing "The Way"? Pretty sure Match Play, doesnt require a "PAID SUB"? I have turned into a pretty decent Stick, in my 7 years in game....but would LOVE to learn what I DONT KNOW! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU FELLERS, in this thread...where folk that OWNED/INSPIRED Me, in my "Formative Years"!

Wow, your enthusiasm makes me nostalgic & sad at the same time!
Sorry to disappoint you, but there’s nothing for me to come back to unless the atrophying MA gameplay dynamic was addressed, an alternate (official) arena like the DA was created, or A1, A2 & A3 was unlocked in the present MPA (actually the least optimal solution). I think any student of how things got this way knows those aspirations are rather unlikely.
Thanks for the compliment. It is pleasing I had at least some positive affect on another’s gameplay experience in Aces High.
All the best,
The artist formerly known as nrshida. :salute

Only me flying :rofl
The rest of you smell of wee
I will log on this Saturday at 7pm real time not colonial time :old:
You are all fatties

Zack, I look forward to flying ahead of that rancid smelling typhy of your. You tag of no pies stored overnight is not true, we both know this.

I don't have VR kit and I'd rather buy a two-stroke engine right now before Tesla takes over the world. Enjoy yourself!
My prototype joystick is 70% complete but shelved. Presently busy with a valve-amp project & trying to resist the temptation to fly the DCS Mosquito with my friend Danny76 otherwise I'll have to unpack & finish it. It's the world's only long, sidestick with inbuilt haptic instrumentation :old:

Since the UK left the EU, the teenage-pregnancy rates have dropped to 3% of their former values, the average IQ has raised 24% and we have no shortages of fuel or imports. Who's washing your German cars for you while you watch your Korean flatscreens and doing all the actual work since the Poles left? You bunch of regressive fettlers.

simple don't resist be happy and buy it. with no subscription model it's a one off purchase that is beyond worth it. You will need the normandy and channel maps if you want to do anything multiplayer with it as that is where the action is.
DCS does require a better level of PC to handle all the bells and whistles.
Me and Yarbs have a safe space and if he can do it anyone can.
-
Shida- I have been burning the time on Fusion-360 and a german made CNC called a stepcraft. Thinking I am going to have to make a stick now... thanks for the future frustration on that one. Who was the guy with the amazing spit cockpit...conan?
Nice to know Danny is still out there sweeping.
Bruv- happy to see you on the board and that yarbles is again still around. Hope all is well on your end and the family bigger.

Could be worse, you could have hand-crafted it like me. Switches and all :rolleyes:

I might fly again. Just a bit commited to real-world projects a.t.m.

Watch the animals, you've all gone far too far from Mother nature. I'm not invested in daft, arbitrary human constructs. First thing a human does with a map is draw a grid on it. You can't divide and conquer nature, it's all connected.
I am proud of my country
I like the British countryside. It is on my bucket list to eat a roasted Ring Ouzel.

Shame to admit it, but I can't quite place the GFC. I checked my long-lived squad chart and didn't see a possible match either - what does GFC stand for?

It's very much a Gentleman's Flying Club Mr Oboe.
<3 you too Zack :D

Oboe likes wearing women’s underwear while in game.

Zack, hide your pies I'm going to be in Wigan for a few days early next year.
-
I don’t know for what do :rofl
Wigan is full of pie eaters
Golbourne is the bench mark for Northern culture
Oboe has a small John Thomas
Shida i put a LHR Reed valve on my 1974 Lambretta using a Polini CP racing carb.
Hours of modification to ports, piston and cooling.
Also fitted a kytronic ignition system
My gender identity had no impact on modification to my 2 stroke polar bear murdering engine.

You have a gender identity zack? When did this happen?

Fantastic! You lucky bastage :banana:
I keep looking at Air-cooled RD350 engines on eBay. The heart says yes yes yes but I know I'd end up splattered on the grille of a Tesla trying to get my knee down on the beach road and leave Shida Jnr. Fatherless. In the police forensic report I'd look like a mosquito splattered on a windscreen but at least I'd be smiling.
Elon doesn't care about the environment, he's just trying to leave the planet to get back home. He had sex with Greta but got the shock of his life when she went on top. Turns out she was also in Men in Black :old:

I do not think Polar bears are cute and I don't care if they die by 2T or a 338 Lapua as long as they die. You can't even eat them. Meat is rotten.
Happy Friday Pipz! :salute

Gents, gave it a month. Here is what I reckon.
1. I miss my flying mates and none are on.
2. Real time flying made sense before I broke my back and 20-years of war. It just hurts to sit this long.
3. 40-60 players on is a hot night.
4. There is no more GHI yelling Vulch Vulch Vulch on range.
5. Maps are way too big. Ought to have a PUGB format where the # of players online determines the extent of the map. Strats are at 50% for everyone until there are enough player to justify the big map.
So, cancelled Sub. Best of luck Hitech, it just is not my bag anymore. Biggest reason is #1. You guys decide you want to hop back on, let me know, I enjoy the game, but not that I face it, you made it. <S>

Sucks to see you go Dirt.
I think a lot of players run into the same things. Many returning players don't have those friends on that made the game really enjoyable back in the day. Sure do wonder where so many of them went.
I have tried so many times to post about the map situation with current #s. I think its a huge detriment. Especially when some of these maps always show up on the weekends because they don't get rolled as fast. Flying around for 10 minutes trying to get someone to fight without getting jumped by 4 of them is really tough. Only do much I can do. I've made requests about zones for more perks to entice fights, coding to shave off the outside of maps to make them smaller during off hours. Changing the maps to small maps during off hours. I've tried to think of the best solutions to make fights more abundant, but unfortunately some people around here just don't see it like we do so we are stuck with the consistency of no change to bring big fights back to the MA not during US Est prime time. 🤷♂️
:salute
-
Many of the proposed solutions might require more coding and testing than Hitech is willing to do. I'm wondering if this would be a simple, workable solution:
1) Instead of one terrain list, build a second terrain list consisting of just small maps (and encourage terrain builders to build more small MA maps).
2) After 12am Pacific Time, load the terrains from the small terrain set only.
3) Return to the large terrain set after 1600 Eastern Time, when player numbers start to build again.

If I've corrected a typo correctly, that's magnificently stated. You are right, it was always the uniqueness of the people, doubly so in the fights! :banana:
Sorry to hear about your back. I slipped a disk a few years ago through an act of kindness. The Pregabalin I had to take was arguably worse than the pain. Lost 30% of my IQ and reflexes on that crap. Especially when hungry.
For recreation I have been learning the Nordschleife in Assetto Corsa, but began to lose interest when it became clear that you need quite a couple of grand in controllers to be competitive in driving sims. Thus prompted I unpacked my joystick project and realised how close I was to getting it working. Few more components needed, bit of wiring and programming and I can use it (if not finish it). I'd forgotten some of the work I'd done on it. Perhaps it would be a shame not to get it working. Maybe I'll post some pictures of the handle at least. Still have my 12-bit throttle. Only cost a Takeaway to make and I've only calibrated it once :rock My Sidewinder and CH stick passed away unfortunately. I had a quick service and flushed them down the toilet after the rest of the Pregabalin and the goldfish.
I'm still in touch with Danny76, he's into DCS jets now. JoBravo went to IL2 and I think is no longer flying. I think the remains of the Few went to CloD last I heard. Pervert found that Nazi gold and is now living in Jamaica and has dreadlocks and six wives.
Well maybe if I keep focus enough to get my project stick working (what are the chances) I'll drop back into the MA, get dissilusioned and rinse repeat. We have to coordinate the upstroke of enthusiasm sometime.

Heard any news, as per his wife? Jobravo's. He left because of something going on with her, Health wise. If memory serves? "Sure, I will go to Match Play with ya!" 2 months later..."JO, WTH! What was I thinking?" He was flying with Rud3boi's Squad.. :bhead Dont for 1 minute, believe I didnt kid him about the #1 Maltese Pastry, Pastizzi Looks an awful lot like............. :rofl I'm a fan :devil

Maybe? It happens? Could have sworn he said "Wife"? What about his SERRIOUS Sinus issues? If it ever came up, while you were in game with him? Guess it could have been "girl Friend"? Mother? EH' callsign DEF Jobravo...the one from Malta. Thinking back....I might have heard that from'Rud3boi', as he was flying with him and Humbolt when he dropped off? Pretty sure that is, what it is. Just about ready to call in, Search and Rescue, and saw Rud3 in game. Even sent a PM, on forums. IIR...worked at or near the airport? Might be thinking of Dutchy, on the airport gig. Either way, the one I knew....Awesome Feller! I distinctly remember the 'Pastizzi' discussions :rofl
-

I have contacted the said-aforementioned JoBravo on yor behalf sir. He asserts he's never had a wife (yet, he's young) and remembers you fondly. He says: "I'm doing good and never had a wife (phew emoticon). He misses the AH friends and might be back to kick everyone's bellybutton in the white ki84".
The fact he is not forgotten makes him reconsider subscribing, he further said :aok

He did not say bellybutton. He said 4$$ :old:

Gender specific name for a club. Yikes.
Not tolerated anymore.
Going to have to change your pronoun! Unless you can stay under the radar of most academia and the far left.
“ØNever, ever refer to a person as “it” or “he-she” (unless they specifically ask you to.) These are offensive and dehumanizing slurs used against trans and gender non-conforming individuals.”
^ That is in the student hand book for Central Connecticut State University. It’s not their only rule for how to do this right.
They/Them Flying Club :rolleyes:

:old: Con flab genders!

Gender specific name for a club. Yikes.
We simply didn't have any Lady members. Or ladyboy members. Or former owners of members come to that. But anyone was in theory welcome. We had people from many squads infact, hence the club part.
Just a daft bunch of people from diverse backgrounds sharing a hobby and trying to keep it fun :banana:
I sure do miss chucking my Ki-84 around like I stole it sometimes. :joystick:
-
I used to see them around.... did they call that flying? :D :P

I was joking around about how ridiculous this whole gender identity bs is.
Nothing wrong IMO with gentlemen’s groups/clubs or lady’s that don’t allow the other as members. Here of course that wouldn’t be right.
However, a group like P.E.O., a woman’s only organization involved in philanthropy for education may some day catch the wrath of the gender identity hit squads…

Yeah it's a bit silly isn't it. It's just a cultural over-swing. It'll pass. It's always a bumpy road when you don't look where you're going! :old:

I must say the forums are a lot quieter than I remember. I was going to document some of my controller developments but it feels a bit pointless somehow. :headscratch:

I'd be interested in hearing about your controller developments. DIY controllers/cockpits is a budding interest of mine.
I think US mornings there are generally 30-40 players online in the MA...
