I think I'm going to start flying the Spitfire IX more and pretend to be a new guy. New guys have all the fun!

Then you can come back in here and start your own whine thread about getting cherry picked while typing...

I applaud people that want to help new people get started in this game. It has a learning curve, and new people can get quite frustrated. It benefits everyone when a new person wants to get interested in this game.

The Main Arena is a tough place for a new person to learn, but if they are willing to ask for help, they should get it. Sometimes the help comes in the form of politely asking if they have checked the Training Arena for a trainer.
Other times, there may be a trainer in the MA which should help them.

No one should be made to feel inadequate just becase they are new. Telling someone to alt-f4 is rude. If you do not have the time to help them, then just let them be. They are better off repeating a question on channel one than being told to alt-f4.

I never told 'em to alt-f4 I actually typed alt-f3... then the rest of the country corrected me.

I typed "climb to 10k, hit enter 3 times then 'O' fast..."

Actually, all you need to do is Alt-Tab out and back in..... no need to log out.

HAHAHHA. That's so funny and clever! Man, you must be thrilled with yourself for playing such an amusing trick on a newbie. Hahaha. Oh, your wittyness just kills me. Man, I wish I was half as cool as you so I coulda come up with something so inventive.

Ohhhh, you funny guys. Your cleverness & maturity never ceases to impress me. Even after years of flying online, every time I see this stuff I think, "Hey, there goes one wild and crazy guy."

VWE · « **Reply #26 on:** March 04, 2004, 06:25:36 PM »

Its the pun for getting a system hand slapping for such a 'funny' remark...

but channel 1 in the MA is not the place to 'learn' AH nor to teach it.

A simeple question requires a simple but straight answer. There is no need for BS "alt f4" remarks.

atta boy... This makes it much better:rolleyes:

I dont know where you learned it all but I did a huge part of my learning in the MA... I think I may have spent a total of 10 minutes in the TA on a single occasion just because it was packed and I wanted to see what was going on...

The MA is in my opinion the best place to learn next to the DA but this depends on what you want to learn. I still dont see why some people including you feel the need to toss out lame remarks to new ppl. Is it because you want to look cool and show everyone how whitty you are? Its just lame... End of discusion.

In my opinion, if someone has the guts to ask for help, they should get it. But thats just me.

I heard about AH from a friend and flew with his squad when online to learn what I could not learn offline. I can also not only read but comprehend so all that is available on the web site was more than enough. RTFM is what I'd like to type to the picture book people whom start this game. But I'd surely get banned for using such harsh language online...

the best fix for that would be to make your plane explode each time your vox goes out. make it happen, Skuzzy.
