Basic Training
« on: May 12, 2010, 07:38:35 AM »
Would it not be possible to employ some kind of walk through - talk through style training section for newbs?

Maybe they could follow a drone through immelmans, barrell rolls, etc etc, or fly the maouvres through virtual tunnels or rings.

Possibly even give them an aiming point to keep and eye on through the manouvre, simulating an enemy after initial merge?

You could have hud gauges showing levels of input required of rudder /ailerons / elevators for the student to try and match through the manouvre

Just a thought, doubt i'm the first but i did look

Contact one of the trainers and set up some personal training... you will get a lot more out of that than you will a pre-programmed tutorial.

Thanks, I have and did some time ago, and a recent refresher, I've been playing about 18 months now, just suggesting maybe for total newbies it might help them avoid the mullering they'll get in the MA :salute

The best thing you can do, and I speak from experience, is winging up with a player who is experienced and is willing to spend time with you.

No better way of learning...

There are these from the main page/Downloads/films. There was also an area at the bottom of the trainers section but this has an error.

Unfortunately many just want to jump in a plane and go thinking this will be like any other point and shoot game...

People here have only tried to help with your original post, danny76, no need to SLAM anyone

most every posted reply has offered some sort of help or pointed to help that might be found thru several different links......

please keep it civil, thank you

AH player "boosen" (<--spelling? ) also has videos similar to Fugitives Flash vids of walking new players thru from 1st setup and first flight......

Fugitive - are the files not showing up? the Aces High Server "Hard Drive" used for the "CM / Trainer stuff" did get replaced, we thought we had everything back like it was originally....

if anyone spots an invalid link please bring it to our attention, it would be much appreciated.....

hope this helps........ ~S~

 I've watched most of Bbosen's videos and they are excellent primers for anyone new. Although some of the setup and usage may be different than I would show a player,the views system that Bbosen uses may or may not work for everyone.

 That said,these vids will get most new players up and running and have a fair grasp of complete game play!
