Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

FSO is probably one of the best aspects of AH, it's very different from the flying done in the MA, in FSO you get 1 life so people tend to fly alot smarter, plus it's not just about racking up kills, it's about accomplishing the task your CiC (commander in charge) has assigned your squad. 

I've never found anyone who started flying in a FSO and didn't have fun, if you've ever flown in a Scenario event in AH and enjoyed it, then you'll love FSO.  So either look into registering your squad to fly FSO, or find a squad who is already flying in FSO and ask to join them.  You can belong to one squad in the MA and belong to another that you just fly with in the SEA for FSO, so if you want to fly with a squad in FSO, but your squad doesn't, or hasn't yet signed up, you can send me or another FSO squad and ask to join them.

If you want to register your squad for FSO you'll have to wait until after this FSO is over to have your squad participate, but start the squad registration process now , the next one starts April 11th I believe, but you can find a spot on another squad to fly with tonight or next Friday until then.

My Squad, Clowns of Death has been in FSO ever since we were big enough to play.

I personally started in FSO in 2003 with ~~~Fate~~~ Squad... They showed me the ultimate evolution of AH, and when it came time for me to create Clowns, I did it knowing I was building an FSO squad.

If you have never played FSO, you have never played Aces High.

I used to up until 2 years ago.   But, I got tired of people showing "blatant disregard" of altitude restrictions.   Even worse, some squads constantly got the better details and funnier yet, would ignore their own flight orders.

Karaya --

Consider a retry. There was a time when such concerns had a few squads step out for a while, including the 332nd Flying Mongrels. Since we've returned, we've had nothing but positive experiences...and even though I'm primarily an MA player, the FSO experience has been great these last few months!

A particular strong point in the last several campaigns has been the incredible terrain and weather, that take you one step further in immersion.  Adding the dense cloud cover, unpredictable visibility, shifting "holes" as fronts move -- it FELT like fighting over the Baltic or the Aleutians. For me, FSOs provide the immersion of a full fledged Special Events Scenario without overdoing the competitive juices thing.

Important Notes --

 
You CAN play even if you aren't in an FSO squad. To do this, you have to contact a participating squad and have them agree to take you for the FSO. (This has no effect on your MA squad affiliations.) I flew with several different squads in FSOs even back when I was a lone wolf, and then when I belonged to a non-FSO squad. It's a great way to have fun, and to meet new players.


BUT -- NO walk ons are allowed! You cannot show up the night of the FSO and participate.

All you have to do is plan ahead a little, and guests are welcome!
