I have recently decided to get back into the virtual flying world after a 2 year absence due to the evil that is Everquest. Before that, I played AW quite a bit. FR, country A. I was primarily a hog pilot. Since AW is no more I've been looking for a good sim to get in to. I've heard that AH is my best bet. I guess what I really want to know is how many ex-AWer are here and how do you like AH compared to AW. I'll probably be downloading AH tonight and trying it out. So if you see a lone pilot flying around aimlessly with a confused look on his face, have a heart :)

Welcome to the darkside.

Hey Zuny, welcome. ex-AWers aren't so bad. Some of my best friends are ex-AWers ;)
BTW, theres free beer and chicks in all the rook towers :D

Greetings, Zuny-
My whole squad defected from AW, as did many others (We flew FR, Cz).
There are many AW refugees here, and the differences between the 2 games can be quite overwhelming.
The learning curve on AH is steep, so be prepared for frustration. Ask questions and you'll get fast answers (But don't fall for the Alt-F4 trick).
If you need any help, check the roster when I'm on and I'll be happy to give you a hand. My callsign is muckMAW.

If you fly Knights, ask for one of us Damned folk and we'll be happy to help.

Welcome Zuny - lots of ex-AW's here - each country has plenty of the "old guard."

Welcome Zuny, I look forward to shooting you down! :)

There are hundreds of ex-AWers here. Hi-Tech himself and Pyro are also ex-AW players from long ago.
In combat the two main differences that you will need to get used to are head-on attacks and collisions with enemy aircraft. Just takes practice to learn how to deal with those things.
Once you learn the features of AH, which will take a while, you will find that AH is superior to AW in almost every way.
You can learn the basics off-line. There is also training program where players can earn free AH time by training newbies, so you should be able to find someone to help you.
