1.) Alt-F4
2.) Press Enter 3 Times for no-cockpit mode.
3.) www.resounding.com
4.) Some say the N1K2 or Spitfire are low realism mode. We call them dorks and whiners.

And now for the "slightly" more useful answers.

1/Go to the tower and click "Quit"
2/No there isn't
3/Ensure that you have RW installed, and then enter AH's setup and enable it.
4/There are deadband settings that can assist a new players take away some of the touchy movements. Fool around with them until you find what you like. I believe they're under joystick settings in setup.

LOL!  Animal is on fire today


I've never played AW but I think it was possible to change views so that wings, cockpit etc "dissapeared".  In AH you can't do that.

RW...get it at resounding.com and go through the set-up.  Use .wav recording and you can pick your mic key.  Recommend you use push to talk rather than open mic or everyone on RW with you will hear the wife nagging at ya...


As for realism mode....online there is only one mode.  It takes a while to learn to listen to the stall horn and get the basics, but after that you will be fine.

Sabredawg, don't pay Animal any mind.  I'd call him the Aces High village idiot, but that would insult village idiots everywhere.

Still, I do admire his girlish good looks.

LOL!  Welcome to AH sabredawg...  

 

,first,i need to know how to shut down game in onlinemode.

Bring up the clipboard (Esc key) and click on Quit... keep clicking Quit on subsequent clipboard displays until the game closes down and you see your desktop. <g>

 

sec,i would like to know if there is a view without the cockpit in it.

Ummm... no... unless you count the 'outside' view (F3/4/5) - doesn't sound very lifelike to not have a view of the cockpit!  

 

third,how do you use the rw.

Well I am no expert with RW, but I think it is just a case of tuning radio 5 to a RW channel - sorry, not sure of the numbers - maybe someone else can help with that.

 

.oh yea is there a realism mode these things are touchy..thx again see ya up there.

No, sorry AH is FR - but there are various aids to make flying 'less complicated' - like Combat Trim... keep that on all the time, as I do, otherwise you will have to fiddle with trim all the time and make flying more of a chore.  Also there is an 'auto-takeoff' option which may help you at least get into the air initially - watch the settings as they change until you feel confident about trying them yourself and possibly turn the feature off.

There are also excellent training facilities available if you go to the Training Arena.

Look forward to seeing you in the MA - good luck, and hope you decide to stay.  There's always the boats and vehicles to try if you don't feel confident flying just yet...

ROFLMAO @ animal!                

although, i have to take exception to the comment about the spit drivers.    

if you want a more reasonable answer to your question, which will probably help you out more, look at manxer's post.  (he's such a nice guy.)

Actually there is a "no cockpit" mode. Just install Windows XP and alt-tab out and back in. Results may vary.

I have so many "annoyances" with RW (not real big PROBLEMS, just PITA stuff) that I would d/l the AH Voice program and use that before I'd put RW on the HD.

Right now, RW is built into the game but I'll wager next update out it goes for AH Voice. At least I hope so.

LOL Animal on Number 2 , oh Gawd that got me laughing!
