It hurts watching how completely new he is to flight sims haha. Not knowing about using views is a huge disadvantage and makes it so much harder. Playing with a mouse and key board is also really tough. It seems he was trying to take off a lot right at bases being vulched. Not sure if he knows about dar bars. He shows how hard it really is for a total newbie but damn he has a lot of basic things to learn. I'm glad the community was good to him though. Hey we all started there  :rofl

 I agree that that the MA is such a tough place to learn the game and then having to pay the sub after only 2 weeks is really tough for most who aren't totally into it yet. I really wish there was a quick action arena for these types of folks like H2H use to be but I can only dream.

If only he knew about the special events too...

A demonstration that this community is doing better and can attract more young players. Just being friendly and enjoying the game without drama can make the difference.

You seem to enjoy spreading experience and training. Why don’t you look into being a trainer?

Yeah it's really just the timing for me. I don't get a lot of time to play that much.

That being said, I'm working on getting better with the training style videos and video editing side of things so I can make more good videos.

However, it's not going to be "basic" training techniques. People can find that in other places.

Just realizing that he wasn't utilizing his views at all... I only wonder how many others don't even know how to look around lol.  Its like damn, those super basic things like that are a game changer.

I suggested having a new player's event, where new players would gather with a few veterans who could show them the ropes.  The problem is we couldn't find a good way to get new players together like that.  New players tend to come in one at a time.  This is why there are training videos for new players when they first join.

You cannot buy advertising worth 730,000 views. If that doesn't attract attention you need to rethink your product.

Even with 750k views it's sorta unfortunate he wasn't a little more knowledgeable about flight sims/AH before starting. I'm hoping that many try the game from it. I noticed that Blennehiem was a star in the comments, so it really goes a long way to reach out to noobs and help them. As you can see they need all the help they can get. I just hope his noobness (no offense) doesn't deter potential since he didn't even have his views set and made it seem difficult just to get in the air, only to be vulched  :rofl

And of course he posted my comment at the end there about rooks/knits not looking like they are fighting. I only talk crap to try to get them to fight lol. But this is my issue with these big maps... tiny dars doesn't look like action and makes it tough for new players to know where to roll for action.

Getting over 700,000 views is big. Gamers interested in older games is a prime audience.

Be aware of subtle product steering in these blog type stuff. We see steering on bbs cloaked as  innocent comparing. Their fav game will always be end result that shines.

 :salute blenheim,

was so nice of rye to comment on the help he received,  whilst seasoned vets pummel him like it was a free bar.     :banana:

from an outsider perspective he did sum up the main issues at hand,   the sub pay wall prevents most new blood from joining, it is just alien to this generation of gamers.   The solution has been suggested, give access to some basic planes to get them learning and off the ground.  up to HT how stringent he wants to be with it.  like one new plane a month providing you meet some sort of combat/hours logged criteria.    AH doesn't have to become warthunder it just needs to give the kids a chance.   Any weird gamey shenanigans then ban their IP. 

Good to see that AH isn't dead in a video about dead video games though.   He sounded British does he want to join a squad?   :old:

Good positive take on it. I don’t watch or read that stuff, varying opinions throw me off. Sme just write to write.

Thanks for the clarity.
