To any new users that happen to read this. Help is available in many forms. Within the game, the trainers in the Training Arena are available. We at HTC are available during normal business hours. There is extensive documentation available from several sites. The bulletin board is also a wealth of information.
Just as a reminder though. The bulletin board is not for playing games.

So, i was watching Dog Fights on the history channel and saw an ad for this game. I thought i'd sign up for a free trial and give it a whirl.
After logging on i chose my favorite airplane from Dogfights, the P-51, and tried to up from a field. I had auto take-off on and was rolling down the runway when my cat hit my mouse, disabling auto takeoff, and sent me careening into a hanger of some sort. BOOM!
I reupped in a fresh P-51 and tried again. I got airborne this time and tried to ask for help, but all i was told was that my mic sounded crappy and that i should goto the TA (whatever that is).
I sent a typed message on channel 200 asking that no one shoot me down because i was new and trying to learn. Despite my politeness i was told, once again, to goto the TA. No one would tell me what it was though. While i was typing my response, asking for more help, someone in an airplane shot me down anyway. I tried to be polite but apparently some people here are rude!
I looked at the map and found a bunch of green dots and went to that field. When i got there i tried to take off, but before i could start my engine i was killed by someone named Skyrock or some such. Again, no sense of fair play! I tried a few more times and was killed a bunch more times by various people.
Again, i tried to ask on channel 200 "please let me fly! I want to learn how this game works!" Again i was shot down.
Since i wasn't able to fly myself i decided to tag along with someone else. I selected the top name on the roster and tried to fly along, i was told, not as politely, to go away. I then asked if anyone needed a gunner, hoping that i might get to fly along with a bomber pilot. No help again.
So, in conclusion, %@#$% this! I'm going back to WoW!
