Hi there!
My days are very busy, as I'm sure many of yours are as well. When I do have the luxury of some down time, I turn to my favorite diversion...the AH BBS.
Now try to understand, I have flown these multi-player online WW2 flightsims since AWDOS, some 10-11 years ago. I have seen alot, heard alot and learned alot about the sims, the communities and the changes which are sure to take place, given the passage of enough time.
Having ended up here in AH after all of these years, I am just delighted with the progress that has been made compared to what the products were like back in the day. Graphics, FM's, DM's, etc. Just the fact that 400+ people can fly online against each other, all while talking in real time on VOX is, to me, amazing in of itself.
Now, when I read posts about the damage model being off or the flight model of a particular aircraft not being precise or the wrong upholstery on the seat of a Hurricane, I think to myself, what in the world is wrong with these people? Don't they know how good they have it?
So the next time I chime in and say someting to you that might offend you, try and understand that you're whinin and I'm just happy to be here:)
Whew...I feel better now....to be understood is a good thing:)

Rude...
If we all sat back and said oh this is great, lets never try and improve what we have.....
You would still be flyin AWDOS.
The road to where we are today is paved with statements, bug reports, and suggestions. Without em AH wouldn't exist

Lol Rude!...When are you going to start living up to your name?...:)

:rolleyes:

Exactly what a stone-age man would think seeing us to protest about a flight cancelation.
-
What a pansy.

What a sappy waste of bandwidth.

Compared to the "improved" Air Warrior's that came aftwerwards (eye candy/big AOL audience/Gamestorm/EA) AWDOS was about as good as it got IMO :)
Of course changes and suggestions are required, and they are actually monitored here and made as time warrants. The endless stream of opinionated whines (no test data, etc.) designed to make one's favored aircraft do things it wasn't known for because of the pliot's inflexible flying styles gets pretty old. As do some of the recent digs at HTC because certain people seem to feel "slighted" by not getting their every whim responded to by HiTech or Pyro and feel a need to grumbel at meaningless issues.

Thanks Rip...knew I could count on ya ina pinch(get it?):)
Skurj.....
I'm not talkin about legitimate and appropriate, well placed in proper forums, posts. I'm talkin about the incessant whining about the same silly crap that has been whined about since the inception of this kind of product. And please...don't put words in my virtual mouth....to offer constructive suggestions and help the developers polish their product is one thing....to repeatedly whine about issues which have little, if any, effect on gameplay and the success of this product is, well, a character flaw. I need to call Dale so he can give credit where credit is due...and to think, I thought he had some programming skill and vision. How silly I was to trust his direction.
Mandoble....
Once again, you have succeeded in saying something...to what end I'm not sure, but you have said it nonetheless.
SOB and Fatty.....
Please forgive me....I got bored.

C'mon guys cut Rude some slack.
However it might be time for one of us to start a thread similar to Rude's whine of the week called:
"Aces High -- useless drivel, smeg of the week"
Between Rude and Creamo posting "outside of themselves" this past week makes me want to wear a helmet 24/7 in case the sky really does fall!
What's next, HBlair flies Allied planes???

Extremely easy to understand Rude. As time passes, technology evolves as well as competence. U better try to improve what u have instead just being happy cause it is better than u had in the past, or u will be quickly outclassed by the market.
When someone ask for an improved DM, it is probably because he has seen something better in the market, or just because he has find out a way to improve it and is just sharing his ideas. A much better and possitive attitude than just thinking old times were worse.
The caveman would think, hey why are u protesting about a flight cancelation when u can fly.

I understand you perfectly Rude.
But I think it`s the younger generation(post computerage) who are the most inpatience and demanding.I remember a time,when
I actually had to get up from the couch,to change channel on the
tv,,,,,,,,and the phone was connected to the wall

Mandoble.....
I just don't feel the need to say anything about the developer and the direction he intends to take his product. He has proven himself through his efforts with WB's and now AH.
It's simple....I logon and shoot folks down and blow stuff up and enjoy my time online with my friends, all for the low low price of $15.00/month.
Now, would I like to see improvements in this sim? Sure...I just feel that HT is slightly more qualified to get it done than you are. In addition, I would rather hassle you than tell HT how to run his business.
I assure you....if he fails and is filing bankruptcy down at the courthouse, I doubt seriously that at that moment he will have the following thought...."Damn!!! If I had just listened to Mandoble, I would have made it!!!!"
Intiendas?:)
