It’s good to see all of yall.  I finally got on last night and had a blast.  I forgot a lot.  Mapping my new Virpil controls and setting up voice attack right now. 

Was a great night last night and the time flew by.

It’s good to see familiar faces.

Something I’ve been looking into is creating a series of “how to” tutorials for AH3. 

What I have noticed since stepping away is a lack of YouTube type tutorials for this relevant online game.  AH3 is on the easier side of combat sims out there but admittedly still a big learning curve. 

I know people looking in from outside would look into AH3 and see a lack of content and shy away.  Where DCS, has a ton of content but the initial investment is a reach.

If people only knew just how easy it is to learn with a minor investment, could revive gameplay and a newer audience.

If I do go down this path, I will be looking for “costars” to help me with content.  Costars would entail me flying along with different squadrons doing different things like Monday Night Madness, Special Events, FSO, and main arena debachery. 

If this sounds interesting to you, reach out.
Definitely not a bad idea. I seem to remember (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) it took me like 20 minutes to figure out how to get on a runway and, when I did, spawned in a hangar and taxied out to the runway.

It took me a little longer then an hour to map my gear but I also overlooked vox and sound.

Art? I’d consider more like patience. I’ve owned three planes with the little wheel where it belongs. Art is kissing it down and balancing it on one main in a crosswind.

Nice rig!

Needs more switches.

Don't let Iron see that.  He'll sprout wood.  ;)

My latest button box. 3 position switches, 8 each. The back 4 are latched and the front return to center. Long way to go to catch up with Mayhem.

Why? He doesn't even have a mouse pad or a dot-matrix printer. Pretty amateurish if I do say so.

I’m feeling pretty inadequate with my T16000 and still using the number pad for my views right about now.  :old:

My Deltasim mod for my Warthog throttle finally gave up the ghost so I put the miserable original ministick back on and ordered a Virpil throttle. They just went on sale. Will be here Friday.
