Unofficial Trainers - Read This Please

[Delirium]

Some of you took this great idea and turned it into a pissing contest.

Bravo, bravo... that's just what AH needs, channel 200 to invade here.

My god what is with this crowd  , Vudak has a great idea, it's not like he is talking about training people who are going to have to live or die by what they are taught.  You don't have to be a full blown trainer to teach someone the basics, and if someone is ready for some advanced instruction they will be at the point where they could call BS on someone who didn't know enough to teach at that level.

Vudak I would love a little instruction from you in the Hogs, that is what I fly, I have been playing for a little over a year and would like to increase my ability, if you are willing let me know.

I think the official AH trainers are to be praised for their efforts, but Vudak's idea is legit as well.  I find that any 1-1 with feedback is valuable (wish I could find more of it in this game).  If your partner advises "bad habits", I think that will become evident when you try them out, and you will eventually discard them.  If not, it's just a game, not life-and-death.

Vudak, you deserve a heartfelt  for your desire to help others learn the game, and for attempting to set up a system that could have helped accomplish that. 

Don't feel like you're to blame for the direction this thread took, and don't let it sour your interest in helping others.  This obviously didn't work out as you'd intended, but that's ok.  I for one still appreciate the effort.  It's nice to see in contrast to many of the other threads and posts we've all seen...

Who's to say? Some people willing to help noobies posted their names.. maybe a noob will come across this thread and pick up a couple of names to get help from.  *shrug*

I'd love to help but I don't know that I'm qualified to teach ACM. I am hesitant to declare a skill level for myself. I've always felt that's for others to judge. I take ride alongs and get smilar comments about how I always seem to be in the right position and know what's going on around me. I don't remember anyone ever telling me I was stellar at ACM.  lol

I feel the same way about myself Steve.  I'm happy to help those who come my way, but I know there are plenty that are beyond my level and ability to help.  I just do what I can...

As for Vudaks thread not working out as planned, I was specifically referring to the issues near the end, not the list of folks offering to help.  I may not have been clear enough.

I'd edit my first post if I could, to remove my name.  After reading all the crap being flung here, I really don't care to associate myself with a number of you uber-dinks.  Your egos are incredible and it's evident to me that all some of you care about is self-gratification.  I could care less what any of you think of me, good or bad.  I have a high enough self-esteem to take criticism the same as praise, and do not need your validation for my existence.

All that said, I will still show up in the TA when I need to just fly around a bit and perhaps try a new ride or practice some techniques.  I will still offer my opinions and what basic knowledge I feel comfortable and qualified to give.  It doesn't take much to help someone enough to have the little light bulb turn on over their head and shed some bit of frustration they had with the game.

Dude you stated earlier that you sent your videos in to prove that you didn't need help from your squadies, I am sure those videos will suffice.

Now I am also sure that you can stop tuting your horn and take this argument somewhere else, we are all convince that you are instant death in your cartoon plane even though you don't post with your in game handle so your claims can be check.  You are our insperation for self improvement.

<S> Vudak I appreciate u getting ppl to post that are willing to help out. Now I have a list of ppl I can go to before I go to the trainers. The reason I don't want to go to the trainers first is b/c I fell I need to learn the basics of acm, all I do now is fly by the seat of my pants which has gotten me to a decent lvl now it is time to step up with help which I will be able to get from your list. Again <S>
