OK we have one here!

Welcome to Aces High, TheBudz! So what do you think of it so far? Ever tried anything similar, or is this a first? Be prepared to get hooked!

The new catch phrase would be "You gettin' a Dora, dude!"

ROTFLMAO

I dont think Ronnie and Yankee will like this

Well, I was playing WWIIOL up until I heard about this game.

I have already switched my payments from there to this game. Aces High is just way too addicting.

I have been trying to get my WWIIOL squad to check out the game, but no luck so far.

No reason, huh? Just leaving like that? Maybe I am drawing the wrong conclusion here, but if you are leaving because of the witty banter between Dowding and Grunherz, you have to understand that they have a unique relationship that was forged in the O'Club and prolly should have stayed there.

Dont let Grun's jab be the thing that drives you to the door.

Dont worry mullet, Grun and Dowding are lovers. I agree they should keep their butt-humping to the O'Club.

I found out about AH on DWINGS. I currently have an FA3 subscription which will be canceled ASAP. AH is 10 times better in my opinion. It offers much more challenging game play, and has more of an objective. Advertising on DWINGS is an excellent idea. Who watches DWINGS? It is people that enjoy aviation.

I was helped my second night by someone. I just wanted to tell you that his help made a big impression. So to those of you that are willing to help new comers, SALUTE! ! ! To those of you that are not willing to help, remember who it was that helped you when you started, then check your 6, because someday one of those newbies is going to be peppering your tail with lead.

You call that witty banter sling? I didn't even reply!

Anyway, I think Grunherz was actually joking.

Ranger - check out the historical scenarios - then you really will be addicted!

He heee, do we really want these new ppl to discover the BBS? I say give them a break....na, guess if they can handle the open chnl within the game perhaps the BBS is tame:)

I know Dowding....but I could see how someone may not consider Grun's post as a joke. There arent any smilies in it.

I know he was just poking fun, but it may not have been construed that way.

After reading thru several other forums, it seems that "straymullet" is a trouble-maker and is spamming every thread to tell folks he is out of here. Some folks just dont have a brain I guess.

I saw the DWings commercial and thought HEY! that looks fantastic. So I got everything up and running got into the MA, picked a field, a plane, and some ordinance and got about 10 ft down the runway before getting shot.

Hummm, ok pick another airfield out of the main scuffle. Get up fly around for a minute or two, see a black dot in front of me 30 seconds later he's behind me, then i'm under my chute. Try again from a different base, different plane, different ammo. Get about 10 seconds into my next battle and i'm under my chute. This goes on. One after another they go from infront of me to somehow directly behind me with guns blazing. Fun game.

What the commercial didn't tell you is that if you don't have 3yrs of flight sim experience don't bother thinking you're going to have much fun here. Anyone starting from scratch now this far in to retail is just volunteering to be flying fodder.

Mooja,

It can be frustrating when you first start...it certainly was for me.

If you still want to fly fire me an e-mail and we can hook up and I'll show you what I know. I'm still fairly new here compared to most but I can now hold my own.

It sounds like you got "vulched" on your first few attempts...when this happens it is time to turn the tables and vulch the vulchers.

My e-mail addy is:

ccm@cml.bm

Happy to help if you want it.

Curval

Hehehe, yup, even though you'll hear that some people play this game like Quake it actualy does take skills other than what you'll learn from playing a FPS.

Check out the TA < training arena > and get one of the trainers, or other helpfull types, to give you some pointers.

Learn a bit about ACM < air combat maneuvering > and sharpen your SA skills < situational awareness > then you will have a lot more fun in AH....

....or you could just fly a La7 or N1K2...closest thing to Quake in AH IMO

Skuzzy · « **Reply #29 on:** October 01, 2002, 03:17:25 PM »

Mooja,..come to the training arena. There are some very good people in there that will help you.

I would not recommend any new user chose the Main Arena to start in this game. It is not a good place to learn. The Training Arena is a much better and proper place to get used to the game.

Hope to see you there.
