Saying hello
« on: April 26, 2018, 01:46:43 PM »
Hi

I just started playing today (from Steam) do thought i would say hi. Good community on the help channel there (thanks today for that).

 I am not much of a fighter pilot i fly bombers. Just getting used to the controls at the moment. Good to see a game that does NOT do 'micro' transactions   :) :lol. I will recommend it on steam. Some players might know me from Navy Field, or not lol.

Ill look around for a bomber flee, er squad :). I did play a flight sim like this (pretty much near as the same.... 1 million years ago..).

Any tips are welcome. As i said i am just getting used to the controls etc at the moment

Regards

Farmdog

Welcome, Farmdog!

What game did you used to play that was similar to this one so many years ago?

See you in the skies!

Welcome to the madness. There are plenty of bomber junkies who I am sure will take you for a spin to help you learn calibration and target identification. Good luck!

Air Warriors 3 i believe it was ;). I will write a review after 10+ hours playing. I am surprised that others on steam (many, i mean) not playing this. I prefer paying a flat fee per month rather than ''micro transactions'' :(.

 Game also works good on a 'semi-good' PC with 100-120 ping (satellite connection). Medium level graphics. I had to do 5 attempts, to take off at the start (all ended up in a crash). We have the basics now (dont take 100% fuel lol).

It is not for 'arcade' shoot em up type players. The help chat is very helpful and i thank the people who helped today.

Welcome to the game!

Glad to hear you are getting some help in the game.  The bulletin board is also a good resource.

Welcome aboard.  :salute

You’ll find some squadrons are primarily fighter and others are primarily bomber.  But you’ll have a lot of fun in one that does a little bit of everything, with some guys as the fighter element, some as bomber, and others as GV.   It works really well taking bases with a group like that.

Good luck.

Welcome Farmdog !  :salute 

Hope you enjoy the game it is a great community.  Be sure to tell everyone you know that would like this kind of simulation about the game.  It's not for everyone but for those that like a challenge there is nothing better.

I'll look for you in the friendly skies LOL :cheers:

always looking for a noob to shoot me down! everyone does!

Welcome! I played all those AW versions way back when too. I've been flying here ever since that game closed its doors, 16 years!

Once you learn the ropes this game is a blast and very addicting. Ask questions! Most people will help out both here and in the game.
