IRL I was flying aerodrome circuits (don't have many solo yet), with some other planes around. Damn was I shocked when I suddenly noticed a shadow aproaching and passing exactly below me that was not heading in the direction I was. Was thinking that some dweeb was going to ram me.

admittedly my hearing's not what it used to be but all newbie questions sound to me like "what keys do I press to shut Aces High down immediately"?

This has nothing to do with AH but serves as an example that maybe WE are odd and its not the other way round. A while back I was at someone's place with a friend. They were playing some sort of skater game, I don't even recall if it was a console game or on the PC. They kept referring to 'the level with the Spitfire'. Sure enough, they were playing that level, clearly set in an old hangar. However, I failed to see any sign of a Spitfire. Suddenly it dawned on me... one of the skating ramps was built over something big, blue with bent wings. A Corsair! I tried to convince them that the difference between a Spitfire and a Corsair is QUITE significant, but they looked at me if though I was mad. Old plane with one big propeller = Spitfire. *sigh*

Just came off the MA.  There was an amusing exchange. A newbie was asking the usual questions with the CAPS on. When told to switch off the CAPS. He asked what are CAPS?  He's probably still there asking now how to take off.

Perhaps we are being a little unfair.  You do kind of need to have some basic knowledge on how to fly aeroplanes. It's OK for me and others who fly the real thing and for those with millions of hours on flight sims but it looks like there are plenty who know nothing. Which is great because they make such easy targets. :D

Mind you I can't talk. I had to ask how to tune in radio last night.

All of a sudden I have an idea. Why not make the icons of the highest ranking players a different color? Then the newbies can avoid and the overzealous like me can attack and get their tulips kicked :D
