Has AH2 Aided Your Life?

[Dichotomy]

I wasn't going to say anything

[F22RaptorDude]

Grandfather had a seizure, I insisted on staying to play some AH2, had i not insisted It could have been deadly as we would have been on a dangerous highway. Rather I mean he had the seizure at a time where if i hadn't played we would have been on the road. He's fine now and it happens few times a year to him. Still lucky as heck

When I started flight training I had thousands of complex, high performance, and multi-time

Simulated, of course.

Edit: stupid phone thinks it knows everything

It made me a better shot with my shotgun.. No lie.

I used to suck at Dove Hunting and then after spending a few months in a wirble before dove season I went from getting 2-3 doves a hunt last year to 8-10 doves a hunt this year in one year with no practice shooting the shotgun inbetween seasons   

Thats the only reason I can think of that I would have improved that much without shooting the gun

made a lot of very good friends, provided hours of entertainment, learned tons of stuff about subjects I'd never bothered to research before, and spurred my desire to learn more history on my own.

This.

And my SA in real life has also improved, as well as my hand-eye coordination.

[Plawranc]

My coordination adn Situational awareness has been upped since I started playing, I have had a ton of fun and made lots of friends. Its also been therapy and an ego boost seeing as its the one thing in my life I am truly "one of the best" at.

I'd like to start off by saying that AH2 has helped me save my dad's car (and possibly us) from a falling tree branch (the thing weighed as much as a grown man) since I noticed it and warned him seconds before it would have fallen on us.  When has AH2's focus on SA helped you avoid a nasty tumble?

Worst case, you would have re-spawned in the tower.

[BnZs]

I will give a completely straight answer to the question, and say that having this as a distraction and method of brain numbing during certain times in my life has helped me keep my sanity and kept me from dulling the pain away in far less healthy ways.

[AAJagerX]

I don't think anything has changed aside from the fact that I've made a bunch of good friends, and have had a great time flying cartoon airplanes into the ground, while learning a ton about WWII aircraft as well.  

You all are priceless, and I'd never give up the time that I've spent here.

[ROX]

Thanks, but English isn't my second language.    Oh jeez- do I sound that bad?

Sorry, my bad....thought you said you were in Poland

My mom's side of the family is- I go there every year to sail.  It's a blast!

Meh, this closely resembles my experience with flight sims since the Air Warrior days.

[Ghosth]

If it wasn't for AH, squadmates and friends that helped pull me out of a big depression hole and helped me through some very hard times. I sincerely doubt that I would be here today to write this.

When I was no longer able to work spending time in the TA helped keep alive my much reduced sense of self worth.
In there I was still accomplishing something, I was making a difference.

That alone right there can be the difference between light and dark. Life and Death.

Which is why I continue to pay back as much as I can as often as I can.
I am a man who owes huge debts of love to many many people.

Well, you should!

You are very lucky!
