Imagine the cheap 262s with zero logged in. Well, if the other two sides were 69. Let me rephrase that.

you have experience.  offer your services to hitech and design a new one.

Not my bag.  There are coders that specifically only work on designing and coding interfaces.

Which takes time and costs money. Kinda like, I dunno, the pressing need for a graphics update that superseded everything but happened, unfortunately, during a player population reduction. I'm sure the thought of diminishing returns crosses HT's mind whenever he now considers what forum members claim the game needs more than anything else and would take a significant effort on his small team's part (along with the teething process all major changes go through), now.

P.S. A Spanish Civil War plane set/arena/setting would cure everything! ;)

Here is the age demographic for Aces High:

One Star Means you enjoy the Game and play 2-3 times a week for a few hours but school and friends take up most of your time and your age is about 18-25.

Two Stars means you play 3-4 times a week you have a job and family learned about the achievements and 60% of your game play is to reach them and your age is about 26-36.

Three Stars means you have either a part time job or not working play the game 4-8 hours a day and still trying to hunt down the last achievements to reach 15,000 your kids are in their teens and your wife works full time and your age is about 37-50.

Four Stars means either you been playing for 5+ Years or you have no life and your game play is a 12+ hour Shift. You're also either divorced, retired, have a wife that works full time and no kids.

I think that about sums it up. LOL!!!! 

Also do not let players discourage your from Vulching or Camping and area. If AH didn't want you to do it they would not have an Award for it. They also would not have an Award for you surviving a vulched base as well.

Don't hate the player for playing the game!  :airplane:

i wish Hitech would fix the mouse controls so folks could be just as good with a mouse as you could a joystick and leave it up to the players on what to use.

I wish the mousers would get that same, moving stick too quickly when they do the "flop all over the place" move. Ever watch films and follow a stick user (smooth) vs a mouse user (jerky). No wonder they are harder to shoot down, they twitch more, throws off the math in calculating bullet trajectory, like wiggling the rudder flying through base ack.

Change the default key map so that Enter/Return opens the chat bar, so new people at least have a chance to communicate.

It appears that flight controls for new players is the biggest issue for new players to stick around. Most players use a mouse. 3 solutions I really like are:

 A. Putting a "training videos" link on the clipboard map so players can easily click and watch for approved videos that help them with the basics. There is a training tab in the forums, why not in the game where everyone sees?

B. Use Lazer's mouse and button layout as defualt. If Lazer can fly like that using a mouse. He's doing something right.

C. Basic Mouse/Keyboard default loading screens like many other games do to give players a full visualization of the controls. It helps!

Easy peasy!

I'll say it until I am blue in the face.   There needs to be an OVERLAY with arrows pointing to the various things a player needs to get going, most importantly being COMMUNICATION.

If you don't show them where to click or what to type in order to seek help they are NOT going to stick around.
