Agreed.  Those still exist.

Welcome back.  There is a scenario starting this weekend Saturday at 6pm CST I believe.  I find them to be a nice change of pace from the grind of the Melee arena.

If you show up early you can be assigned to your preferred ride usually, depending on side balance.

IIRC, and I most certainly do, the Pizza map was CptTrip's (aka AKWabbit) idea. The map loved to be hated by many.
Here we put salt on Margaritas, not sidewalks.

Hey Animl!  I recently got back up myself.  Been online a couple times, getting the feel of the stick again.

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

Agree wholeheartedly, although with 3rd party tool called VRNeckSafer you can "fix" the problem with the implementation in other sims.   

Mainly, if you've loved flight sims over the years, then please beg, borrow, or buy a VR headset to see for yourself what it's like.  Odds are, you will be amazed.

You must be referring to BW?. If so, Big Week tended to have that decay effect on almost anyone who got near the place. It was in the design,..well not at first anyway. People trolled, got bit back, which they asked for, and then played victim..we all know the pitty game. No one was innocent. :)

Other then BW, and SOME normal sparing in the arenas, not sure what else you're referring to. <shrug> If it's not important enough to remember, it should prolly be left that way.

But hey,....saddle up,.. come shoot me down, I explode much better then everyone else. I have the "Just Sightseeing" sign on the back window.

Because I spend more time getting to a fight then actually living through it? Great to see your name again.

Welcome back Animl! Wait until you try VR!!!  LOL!!!! good to see you back again!

Back at ya,....ya few people mentioned VR, I think it was somewhat newish when my pet custom gaming PC got struck by lightning. Just got too damn busy to replace it,  better yet time to fly. Very tempting for sure.
