OK, Last night I clicked on the training button for the first time to see how this new training system works. Everything seemed to be working ok, and I understand how the interface works, but has anyone had any luck actually talking to these newbies? I spent about a half an hour trying to talk to 2 or 3 of the ones online last night, and who knows, maybe I was annoying them to death! I can't tell. There are a couple of things that might be happening:
1. The newbie is so new that he/she doesn't even know how to tune the radio to respond.
2. The newbie is so distracted by flying or configuring his setup that he/she is ignoring requests to provide help.
3. The newbie already has a trainer that they are comfortable with.
4. The newbie doesn't speak English.
5. Maybe I just need a better pickup line. Is "Hey so-and-so, let me know if you would like some help" too intrusive?
If anyone has had some success training newbies, I would like to have some advise from you on what it takes to be successful.

Try "Is that a Machinegun sticking out of your wing, or are you just happy to see me?". :D

LOL, tell me about it! After the demise of the volunteer staff in AW, we formed an independent group, CAST - Community Action & Service Team. As a member of that group, I agreed to spend two hours one night a week touring the training arenas there to help newbies - I never did figure out the best way of communicating! :rolleyes: I thought perhaps they didn't know how, and would give instructions, but still...... silence...... maybe they just didn't want any help, but if that was they case they could have said so.... Perhaps there was a knack, but I never discovered it during the short time I tried.... :p

Same here, got it actually to work though was helping a guy, but he decided to switch teams and he musta been using team channel to talk back, and Im like where'd he go? Oh well. Also when I tried to get him on my help list I clicked his name and then click add, it added some other guy from the top. Now I got 6 guys on my list and I have never seen any of them again.

LOL xHaMmeRx, I will have to give that one a try.

That is right Pooh21, I didn't think much about it, but it is impossible to actually select the newbies you want in your pool. The system doesn't add the newbie that you indicate. I was trying to find a newbie that had not already had someone try to help them, and when I pressed add, someone that had already had three trainers popped onto my list. Very strange.
Thanks for the history Flossy. I hope contacting a newbie is not simply a function of the number of attempts you make. Wouldn't it be nice to have a popup window on the newbies side that automatically tuned their radio for them if they accepted the help that is offered to them?
-
hanging out in the MA is best place to pickup newbys, they will say things like 'hey , mister , can i ride in your air plane?" and "how do i start the engine?" and "how do you make the tank move?"and "what is JABO?"
-
Talking to newbies is ART, plus it helps to have the patience of job and a very thick hide.
Eventually either you figure it out or you quit trying. Remember, no one wins em all.

I'm sure that would help a lot! :) Must admit, I have not tried this new system yet, though I do try to answer any newby's questions I see being asked in the MA anyway. The last time I spent any amount of time with a newby was quite a few months ago and I received a Profanity warning! I never did find out what I was supposed to have said - I think I must have mistyped SHIFT or something.... :rolleyes: Since then, I have become involved with the CM team, anyway. ;)

NewB doesnt speak english or she/he is shame to speak ..... thats quite possible.....
i would like to see list of all active AHers with their nationality
but best teacher off all could be Airmess.. that guy know many languages( 4 or so).... its amazing .. he see italian guys, he start to speak italian, when he see german guys, he speak german, when i do bother him he speak english :D ....

tonight I thought i'd help some noobs.
Been watching this guy try to take off for ages so I tuned my radio to him on private and typed 'do you want assistance' no reply. ok maybe text is scrolling past a bit fast and he doesn't know what the key is to expand the message window so I typed 'do you want assistance' again still no reply.
Hmm i though, he knows how to get in a plane so insted I typed
'get in plane and fire your guns, if you want assistance' and sure enough out he come blazing away :D
Ok I we have contact !
I now instruct him how to type a message and sure enough up comes a little help plea 'How do I take off?'
Now I make my move and tune my Vox to him as well.
ok I now know have his attention so why does he then type Frogman how do I take off? and start to ignore me?
He then get in a tank and the message buffer comes alive with 'how do I start my tank' over and over
But being patient I now up a tank and move it so i'm in front of him, Surely he can see me? and I start to type/speak to him instructions on the art of tank driving.
But he keep typing 'how do i move my tank' over and over.
so i give up, I tried as length but he wore me down.
By now a load of people are replying in the text buffer, so he couldn't miss the instructions and off he goes driving around the base.
He's in a LVT and he finds the trigger, and a plane takes off near him so being a noob , he opens fire, the pilot of the plane (shall remain nameless) then decides after getting up to help the said noob by diving on him, and the poor noob killshooters himself LOL
I almost wet myself. and I was able to calm myself from my frenzy of frustration, thank you nameless pilot you cheered me up :D
I would also like to mention that DJ111 and Zeroping both deserve a medal for the patience they showed trying to help a noob get green text, they fought valiantly for a good 20mins untell they overcame the task at hand. WTG :)
God its hard work, but i'll try again :)
-
Hey BGB you think you could give me some pointers if I started flying again?
xRAM
-
Blank, the noob you're referring to seemed to have an IQ of a rock. Being one of those people who asks a question, gets the same response a half a dozen times, and asks again.
There's nothing that can be done to help those people=/
-
ok, I think I can explain some of this, because I am a n00b!
And I desperately need help
I hit the option to get a trainer. I waited for a couple minutes, and didn't see anything in the chat window. I wanted to talk and ask quesitons, but I couldn't figure out how. I got so engrossed in trying to find the talk key that I wasn't even paying attention to the chaat window any more. So I just took off, flew around, strafed a pillbox-sort of thing, and landed.
BUT I STILL NEED HELP!
I don't know how to change planes, or anything else. I think if you could just expain to me how to talk to other people, I could do ok!
-
I have worked the system successfully, my only niggle:
The newbies have a hard time with the interface. Figuring out how to use the radio, then figuring out how to use the map (and how to change sides), is hard to describe.
I have had to change sides in order to cater to the newbies I wanted to help, rather than tell them to change to rook. I am now a bish, because they have the newbies. My heart is with the rooks though.
I found the training interface to be simple, and it works just like the webpage says it does (which is a little different than how Ronni explained things in the announcement some time ago). In any case, I would ask for a more user friendly interface first, when it comes to training and expanding the customer base.
-
In my experience as a trainer ( albeit in Air Warrior but over a long period of time) most newbies will be embarassed that someone tries to single them out for help, because they don't want to appear to be what they are - a newbie. Most will log off or not answer (if they know how even), until they get desperate, and approach someone themselves. Nobody likes to be embarassed. First thing is to sort out the radio or vox, and then you have a chance of communicating.
Once communication is established it is usually ok after that, but the initial contact is the most difficult and there is no easy answer on this - it is usually frustrating for the trainer, so the patience of 'Job' is a requirement, and a good knowledge not only of the clickable buttons, but .dot commands too. My usual response to newbies is that I was there to help them if they wanted any, and if they need to ask anything, feel free to ask away but if they wanted to figure some things out themselves first that was fine too, just ask again when they were ready.
:)

I have just finished flying with a noob that i've been helping tonight,
A nice polite, guy he had worked out how to send messages him self, and had politely asked on the country channel if somebody could please help him, not spammed it with 'how do i start my plane' etc
All went nice and smooth, taught him, how to use the vox, and tune radio to me so that everything was private.
Intructed him not to HO 110's as its a bad idea (he found that out himself LOL)
Then got my squad to tune radios to the same channel and we all flew together.
Please Let me get all noobs like this one.
Only prob is I cant get him on my teaching list, even though he had no other trainers? error message comes up in buffer?
any ideas?
Also a pop up window to show basic keys for radio etc available with a dot command that shows on thier FE, should be easy to implement.?

Sorry, I didn't see this post yesterday, and as nobody seems to have replied yet....
To change planes, click the Hangar button on your clipboard. The list is also sub-divided to make finding certain types easier - like Fighters, Bombers, Vehicles and Boats; just click the appropriate tab at the top, then click on the aircraft you require. After selecting your plane, you can then choose the amount of fuel by clicking on one of the fuel barrels in the foreground, and ordinance by clicking the various options in the background (may need to move or minimise clipboard temporarily so you can see everything). Then to launch, click one of the squares at the bottom left - each one represents a different direction of take-off, or you can go from the Hangar.
For communicating, see this excellent web page - describes it all perfectly, much better than I can: http://www.netaces.org/ahradio/radio.html#title :) In fact this site probably has a better explaination for plane choice too - definitely worth a look around - http://www.netaces.org :D

Look at Clipboard, hit ROSTER and above the lowest command boxes you will see it between 'Score' and 'Close'. It is NOT available offline, the box is omitted and there is just the open space.

Ah rgr...well, it seems I don't have that button - there is a gap there on my clipboard. Just had a thought, I suppose this is something you need to apply for from HTC? I was thinking it was available to anybody LOL. Would explain it anyway. :)
-
Wow, it has been a while since I checked this thread. I am glad I am not the only one with training struggles. Blank, that was a great account of your training experience, LOL. I love those humorous accounts. I am glad your second attempt was better. I am sure it makes the many attempts worth the trouble.
I am still trying to make that first contact. At times I feel like I am looking for extraterrestrial life rather than simply contacting a newbie on the other end of a computer. I still have not heard from anyone who has benefited from the new training system. IE: received a credit on their bill.
Hey PunkerTFC, Keep your eyes open for me online (TracerX) if you are still looking for help. I fly for the Knights, and would love to help you with many of the initial configuration settings and other useful tricks when you are getting started. Don't come near me if you are bish or rook though. :D
-
Tracerx
You said you haven't heard if anyone has recieved a credit yet
Well the prob I have is that I cant get the guy that I helped onto my list, it comes up with an error message in the message buffer, so even if i was the most helpful person in the world my name still wont be on his 'most helpful trainer list' in two weeks.
Oh well I dont care its only money, and I try to help people because strangly enough i get a kick outta doing it, and it makes me feel good, :)

Just thought.... maybe it's a Rank thing.... because I don't fly fighters, I don't have a high enough rank to help other players - not even the 'basics' or about bombing/vehicles/boats etc.... :(

You know what I think?
We shouldn't need incentive to help people out. This game gets better with more input from new points of view. Just because someone doesnt have a solid history with flight sims or general warfare history means nothing. I applaud all who help out newbies, however, I disagree with an incentive to do so.
And Flossy, I respect you a great deal, but you dont need a training button to help someone. I have taken people right out of the MA who have asked for help. I take them to the TA and do not make any conditions on them. You do NOT have to join my SQN or my country, you only have to listen and learn. I have only flown AH for a short time, but came from AW (yes was a good sim too) and was always regarded as a fair player, and a fair stick.
I have no problem helping out. Those that you can reach..great..those that you cant..well, maybe they are just looking.
I think the point I am trying to make is this... Help somebody because you want too..not for reward. The best help is almost always given freely.
Sorry for the lecture, and Flossy this was not directed at you..just a general comment. (hoping to Marry flossy too )

Oh I agree entirely! I can and do offer help without the need for a Training button... the only reason I was looking for it was to offer help to someone who is listed there as wanting help! :) Otherwise, if anybody asks for help I will always do my best to give it! I am not looking for any kind of reward.... I too came from AW and have been playing that and lately AH for the last 4 years - not as long as many other players, but long enough to learn a few things, including the fact that I am useless in fighters! :DSorry for the lecture, and Flossy this was not directed at you..just a general comment.

thats wierd Flossy that u dont have that .... is it a senior member thing ... I know i have the button . and i dont think it has to do with rank.

RTR, some of the discussion was also in the direction of 'why don't I have this part of the game loaded' if we are all supposed to be playing the same game, with the same options being available to all. The fact her clipboard ROSTER listing is blanantly different than mine makes me wonder alittle bit. How many other peoples games fall 'outside the bell curve' in other ways software wise, and those ways could be less apparent.
That's the thing that puts a quiver in my liver.... if we aren't all using the exact same software/game updated/modified to the exact same level, then what are we using.
namezuf <-----
Not to mention :) If Flossy wants to train somebody on 'Training' just for the heck of it; how can she say go here and hit this button and choose that option if she hasn't been there and done it herself?

Hmmm, wonder if I should do a complete reinstall as others have done then? I know I have been experiencing lockups/CTDs and Lost Connections, as well as not being able to be heard on vox, for a couple of weeks now. Maybe a reinstall will solve all my problems.... if only we had cable or at least ADSL... :(Not to mention :) If Flossy wants to train somebody on 'Training' just for the heck of it; how can she say go here and hit this button and choose that option if she hasn't been there and done it herself?

Well if you mean Senior Member here on the boards, that's only relating to how many posts we have made.... if it's how long I have been playing Aces High, it's since October 2000 - not as long as some, but getting on for two years.... I think I may have to resort to a complete reinstall, and hope it sorts my other problems out at the same time.... :)

do an arena test try the TA, main ,ect and see if it shows up in there..... or load version 1.102 instead of 1.102a:rolleyes:
i went and checked on mine and i have it in all the arena's ... thats just Wierd Flossy that your not allowed this button.

Yeah, when I didn't see it in the MA, I thought maybe it was only available in the TA and tried it there - same result. Anyway, I have just completed downloading the complete installation so will see how that goes....

Still the same, but Aurelius informed me in the Tech Support forum that I don't have the Trainer button because I am on the CM Team.... LOL! :D Would have been handy just to identify who wants help, but never mind.... :)

Heh...ya know Flossy...I just figured the same thing out. Apparently, CMs aren't allowed to help train folks. :(

I was getting lots of lockups and CTDs over the last couple of weeks so, following various suggestions, I finally deleted AH and re-installed it from scratch. Not really had long enough to evaluate fully, but last night I didn't have any lockups or CTDs - but I did lose the Host Connection 3 times in the two hours I was online! :rolleyes: Will see how I get on in the next few days.... :)

A few question from a true AH newb. ;)
I'm not sure if I understand this completely, but reading this thread makes me wonder, especially about one thing.
Is there somewhere I can set a flag saying "I'm a new pilot, give me help!" or do I have to ask everytime I join about help/tips?
Also, can I see if anyone is listed as my "trainer"?
Regards,
Puh, AH pilot since 9 days and counting. :D
-
Puh...
1) How old are you??......Over 18 and we will help train you
and would be happy to have you in our squad,,if things work
2) Swicth to Knigths if you want help from us....
3) there is usaully on of us MAW's on all the time..
4) Please read all the offline help pages on the HTC website first..I did,,and i am BADDDD asssss...well most of the time..lollo
5) Please dont get discourgaed..IT a very tuff game to get a hold on to quikly..especially when your joystik settings arent tuned..(Plane seems to Bounce around way too much when trying to KILLL)...

Good question! Are all players on the list just those in their first two weeks?
-
I hopped on yesturday for the first time and i was so unprepared I was too embarrassed to ask for a trainer. Next time on I will seek out a trainer. My first impressions are based on previous flight sims I fly in and my old keypad habits come into play hehe. tracerx i will be more than willing to be your student during my 2 week trial. You have a sense of humor and that is a good thing for a trainer to have. I need help mainly with getting use to the flight model. the rest of the stuff I'll learn by reading the availible info. Relpying to your list of questions I would say all(and/or most of the above) apply. The intial setup in this game is pretty overwelming for a newbie(at least one that did not do enough pre-reading such as myself). Communication is the most important item on the list and use of the radio should be the first lesson. Perhaps AH could expand on the initial pop up that ask if a newbie would like to contact a trainer with an additional option lesson on how to use the radio. Just a newbie suggestion. This seems like a fun game so far so I look forward to the next two weeks. If you see me online the answer is YES YES YES I need HEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!
Thanks for trying to help us newbies I know it can be frustating at times.
PS are there any plans to set up a scheduled time for newbies to learn the basics in the TA? Maybe some classes to help familiarize us lost sheep to find their way.
Thnx pat0r0

-
Pat-r!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now there is a blast from the past. Good to see you over here:)
-
BTW after you get used to the different commands and keymappings you'll see that there is not much difference between this and WBs. All the ACM and tatics you learned over there apply just as well here. The biggest thing your going to have to get used to is the timing. I wouldnt worry to much you were one hell of a stick in DoA and I'm sure you'll do just fine here.
-
Where I could I changed the keymappings to mirror WB. Did the same with IL-2. Few things different but where I could I changed them.
Vehicles were a different matter. Never used them anywhere else.
-
Hi ya bizket. looks like I'm the getting blasted so far hehe
-
pat0r0, it sounds like you are starting on the right foot. Having WB experience and reading the help files is more than I had when I started! You have a huge head start with just those two items. I would be glad to hook up with you for training some time. I will look for you online in the evenings (U.S. time). I'm no obie-wan, but I think I can show you how to make flying a little easier. Good luck!

Speaking of training newbies, isn't there supposed to be a staff of trainers (even before the training button thing) who you could contact and schedule training with them in the TA? Not so much for interface help, but for flight training.
Back in AW, there was regularly scheduled training and it was AWESOME. It usually was lecture/practice in format and was very worthwhile.
I think the biggest problem with AH right now is the initial experience for noobs. If a new player find the website and downloads the sim, they jump in it and there is no help documentation at all. They have to leave the game and go search the website. Even that is poorly organized. The best documentation lets you see what is being described and let you do what is being described. That's why in-game documentation is essential.
There should be some kind of tutorial mode. If you've ever played Dark Age of Camelot, you know what I mean. It should be a mouse-click navigatible menu with things to set up first and common questions and answers.
Make it so a newbie doesn't have to ask, "How do I start my engine?"
Oh. I almost forgot. Training should NEVER, EVER be used as a recruiting tool.
-
A little common sense goes a long way also.
How did you learn to drive??? Get behind the wheel and get on the freeway doing 65mph and then ask 'how do I stop this thing?' No, I hope you did some research or read the manual and learned the rules of the road.
When you first played Monopoly what did you do??? Read the rules.
Can you see my train of thought?
When I first downloaded the game, having some AW3 experience, I flew offline my first AH flight. I said 'Whoa, this is a different game and I better check out the rules and commands.' I'm not a rocket scientist but common sense told me to seek out the Holy Grail. THE MANUAL!!
I believe you can arrange training times with someone but having a 24/7 trainer in the Training Arena would be a waste of his/her time. I spend time in the TA and there are occasons where someone asks for help but most of my time there I sound like a broken record trying to get people NOT to use 'Check 6' to engage. OK, I vented, I feel better.

I also have my two cents worth (newbie with 5 days experience):
I already posted that the initial experience is a bit overwhelming and that I sometimes need to ask (to experienced players) obvious things. But I read the manual and flew off-line for a while. No real surprises there, flew a lot in off-line sims before.
In the training area no-one seems te be around when I'm on-line, so I jumped right into the deep end, the main arena. The learning curve is steep, but in 5 days I learned more about modelling, gunnery and tactics, a.k.a the 'feel' of the game then I ever thought possible. Point is, if you have some flight sim experience, use the squidgy grey organic computer and have some patience and peristence, it all seems to work out, at least for me. Sure, I get killed a lot, but the fun factor is fantastic.
If you have five years experience on-line instead of 5 days, sure, you're waaaaaay better than me. But if you make some stupid mistake, like using a P-51 low and slow for field defense against my FM2, you will die.

hey guys and um ladies i was a newbi at one time and started flying this sim about 3-4 years ago.back then i was a begining pilot in real life, and have had real life experiance in helping and recieving instruction.All you really need to do is try to help one person,all you have to do is make and offer to help and yes a newbi can help and train a newbi and vice versa.If someone wants help they will "listen", i teachpeople to fly now part time and fly cargo and have deal with students with them when they are flying,and most of them do not talk they listen, even if it is typed.Now that HTC has the voice in place that is a great help. most people are receptive to help some don't want it all you can do is offer but just because they don't respond doesn't mean they don't want you to help them they are just trying to implement and use what you are telling them to do.I have seen and met a lot of people that have little to no flight experiance trying to fly this game and i will tell you from experience it is not easy to do aces high or real life..... the only thing i can say is be patient and remain willing to help at anytime..... just my opinion and technique.

You may be right, but I doubt it. I've tried that route by sending an e-mail to somebody who was listed as a trainer (I think it was the "head trainer"). I never received a response. A guy in my squad signed up to be available to train and never heard another word.
What I was getting at was that it would be cool if there were people available for ACM training where you could schedule time with them and meet them in the TA. They wouldn't have to hang-out there. You would work out a time when you both would be available.
The other thing I was getting at was that it would be great if there were regularly scheduled training classes where one or two trainers would answer questions and then show you how to do the things discussed.

I do remember the lectures in AW3 that got passed out as text, they were helpful. That dissappoints me on the no response from trainers. The few I know seem very willing to help.
