Actually no.  But then you are purposely being difficult

Examples, you are going to say next.....

Want to know how to Zoom?  Cool, click Z.  But wait, you can use your  [ ] keys to get better control or closer when you are using a GV?  Hmm, reference location in the official help section: using Shore Batteries :huh

It tells about the zoom functions, in of all places under the View System in The Help Files

Or, you could download the key command cheat sheet One page quick reference from the Trainers Site which also has that same information along with just about any key command you'd want to know.

I am not a uber noob I played for about a year, 2 years ago.  I was a first time flight sim guy and a first time AH2 player at one point. I think there should be something when you first start up. Something to give you the basics would be nice, like taking off for instance. The quality of fights wont change. I guess in the end to each his own. If you want to fly in the horde all the time so be it. I do, but i also get away from the horde. It's not going to change. As i recall there is the DA for all of you.

To any one who made fun of the first post the first sentence was screwed up. It doesn't mean the rest was! Get lives d-bags :D

If you won't take a minute to type your message properly, we know you won't bother to take the time to learn to fly well either. That's why you fly in the horde, you KNOW you won't survive out side of it. If you spent an hour a night with a trainer for 5 days you would be in the top 500 of this game as far as skilled players goes. Maybe your content to play a mediocre style among other mediocre players....which in it self is a sad commentary on life.... wanting to be mediocre instead of trying to excel.

The quality of fights HAS changed, it has gone down hill like you wouldn't believe ! By trying to make other aware, and teaching them to play the game better the quality of not only the fights will get better, the quality of the game play will get better.

That's what we are saying here, take the time to learn to play the game well. You don't know how much fun your missing out on !


btw kilo2 whats your ingame name?

I hope it doesn't offend those of you who have put your time and resources into the documentation for AH that we still say a comprehensive manual would be a good thing.  I really appreciate all the work that's been done so for far and have found it very helpful.

However, I grew up with flight sims that had manuals, and I loved to read them, most especially Microsoft Flight Simulator and Falcon 3.  Heck, as a kid I even liked to read the dynamix manual for red baron.  What makes a good manual for just about anything is that one person is responsible for the finished product; you can tell the difference between that and something that's an amalgamation from multiple people, added to at different times, and without a lot of editing.  For example, murdr, the padlock view doesn't seem to be included on that page of the helpfile, but it is part of the viewing system.

I spent some time writing/editing manuals at a job I used to have and it is not easy, but the benefit of a finished product is that all of the information can be found from one, definitive source.  You can read it cover to back and say "now I know."

As far as I can tell, centralizing all the learning resources in one spot is being worked on right now.   If any of you guys replying here could add your bit of useful info to the AHWiki, it'd help things along that bit further.

How can you sit there and chastise another for the way he/she types when you can not even be bothered to police your own post?

Here is your post making sense:

That's why you fly in a horde; you know you won't survive outside of it. If you will not take a minute to type your message properly, we know you will not be bothered to take the time and learn to fly well.  Here is a bit of advice, if you spend one hour a night for five days with a trainer you could end up scoring more kills, achieving a much higher ranking and eventually earn a little respect from the top sticks of this game. However you might be content being labeled as just another mediocre player. In the end this is your choice, you either chose to excel and take the knowledge that is being passed down through practice or you don’t. I find that last one to be a sad commentary on life, who in their right mind would strive to learn nothing?

The quality of fights has recently changed for the worst; it has gone downhill like you wouldn't believe! If every member tried to make others, especially the newer guys aware of their mistakes and produced a working solution to the individual making the mistake the fights would get better and the quality of the game play would drastically improve as well

That's what we are saying here; take the time to learn to play the game. You don't know how much fun you’re missing out on!


BTW kilo2, what’s your in game name?

Some people prefer to just whine about things and lack of contribution rather than actually contributing  :furious.

I'm sorry I was correcting his "texted type" spelling and punctuation with some simple english. You on the other seem to want to talk down to us from your "intellectual" high horse. I believe my post made very good sense with out adding a lot of extra words.

Nope, that's not what I do.

You validated both of our points with the last part of your statement. If the statement can be understood than there should be no issue as to how it gets typed.

Try not to focus on how an individual types as it's far more important to focus on what they are saying.

I wasn't focusing on it other than to use it to prove my point. His post was a mess, and when called on it he said only part of it was messed up and to get a life. Which tells me that he can't be bothered with even TRYING to get it right. My point was that if he doesn't want to bother to get it right there, then most likely he can't be bother to get it right when it comes to the game.

You on the other hand, instead of adding to this thread would rather turn it to an english lesson.

Man, I agree with you; the fact remains that you do not like it when some corrects your posts so don't do it to others.

Improper semi-colon use.

Poor sentence structure.

Elementary use of conjunctions to bridge if/than points of discussion.

There is always someone more articulate.

Thanks.

The semicolon is used properly. There is nothing wrong with the sentence structure other than using a comma after "posts". The correction to the "some" to "someone" is a fair one.

Wow, where did this conversation go? :rolleyes:

All internet-based discussions involving difference of opinion ultimately end up traveling one of two possible avenues:

1.)  Why the subject matter, or those actively defending a viewpoint with respect to the subject matter, are comparable to Nazi's and/or Nazi Germany.

OR

2.)  Grammar policing actions.

This is a constant more predictable than gravity and is a surefire sign that the thread has run its course.

Skuzzy will be along shortly.
