Paxil, thnx
That actually brightened my day & brought a smile to my face.
"Lost a dogfight with the drones.." That one's classic.
I'll share my 1st day online flying with ya:
Signed on open beta of AOL's FO, didn't bother reading any of the manual, cause I'd been flying box sims for years & years, why read the manual, right?
Took up a P51 and immediately encounter 190.
Cool! The enemy! Pumped every round I had at him. Meanwhile, that box of text at the bottom is scrolling:
Kidcol, stop shooting at me
Kidcol, wtf is wrong with you? stop firing at me!!
I am friendly, You're wasting your time & ammo!!!
Well, this went on for quite awhile. I was having a ball, but couldn't seem to either shoot anybody down (or why british & american planes with different colored icons were shooting at me) or figure out why so many people were yelling at me, or now that I think about it... understand how to use the radio. So I grabbed a beer, made a sandwich and decided to <cough> RTFM.
I often see life as being a daily ritual of realizing what a moron I was yesterday.
Thanks again for the post Paxil, cheered me up on an otherwise dreary day.

P.S> just re-read & I may have inadvertantly insinuated that newbies should RTFM. That wasn't what I meant at all, lol. The manual will get you up & flying around, shootin' at stuff, but it's the help you get from other players that makes you enjoy it, you're right there!
