Aces High adventures

Another funny squad name might be planedemic
-
Cool. The squad is formed. Sluggish and I are the members so far.
-
No I've got to see if I can somehow land some kills so I can see the name and lights. Lol. I haven't landed a kill yet though I don't think. I think you have to land two or more don't you?

Kid downloaded the game last night and my X52 is out for delivery. Probably take most of my time tonight getting the dam stick mapped. But I'll be ready to fly and die soon.

I think I'd like a trackir but they're as expensive as ever. I thought vr would drive the price down...
-
They're like $300 or something aren't they?
I think that you need sort of a decent video card for the Oculus. I looked up the list of recommended cards and my card is on there so I could just switch it into my new computer.

Great!
Now, and this is just a formality, but if you could just take a little quick shot of you in your uniform before submitting your squadron paperwork.
😂
There's been a few different people on every night that I've been on and I've just sort of ended up flying around with them not formally but just being in the same area and talking to them on the box and everything.
To me it's not the same game as it was when I was younger. Like it's not something I'm totally into but I enjoy it.
It's really hard for me to get a kill. I'm a horrible shot. And everybody in the game seems like they're a really really good shot. Especially the bomber pilots. I mean that 999 guy, he still around but I haven't seen him but it seems like everybody is really good. It's hard to shoot down a bomber.
Maybe that's just because I'm in a p51 though with the 50 cals
The other night the ENY value was such that I couldn't take off in a P-51 so I took a p-47. That thing seems like it almost floats in the air. Like it rolls really easily and it's really light to the touch. I liked it. I liked all of the guns too.
This vinlmsn character was bitching about me on channel 200 before he logged off last night. I mean he didn't know it was me.
I saw a red bar in a sector so I just headed that way because it was not much going on. I think it was at 12:00 in the p51. So I fly over there and it was like a sector and a half or so away and I just look at the forums and cruise the internet or whatever while I'm just flying over.
When I got over there I see a 109 K4 diving on me from about 20k or so. So he was right on me before I knew it. And I realized that the pony is faster than that thing as long as you stay above like 9k or something.
So I got very lucky and dodging his shock because he was right off my six 400. I did a split ass and then a roll and a split s again and pulled out with high g's at 9K and he was 600 out and I pulled away from him as he was shooting. It took a while but I pulled away and then he pulled off.
You know those things don't have very long legs either or a lot of ammo.
I didn't think about it I just thought you know I'm not turning around with him 1k off of my six at 9K and trying to dog fight him. So I'll just go home.
Apparently that made him really mad. He was on there bitching about how he can't believe I would dive to the deck and run home. I guess 9k is the new deck. Lol
Then he was saying he couldn't believe that somebody would sign up to play the game and pay $14.99 or whatever it is to play that way. And then he was gone poof!

I like that Dale added the kill messages for every kill. It goes on to channel 200. So-and-so killed so-and-so. Like Air warrior was.
I wish they would bring the macros back. Those were great.
I would like to make a kill macro ”fully vaxxed"

I had a macro set on an extra button on the flight stick.

I made the mistake of diving in on 999 a few times thinking low buffs were easy kills. That dude is surgical with those buff guns.

He said hello to me on the AH Forum but I haven't run into him in the game yet.
Yeah, that guy is unreal.

I've downloaded and installed it. Going to tinker with it some more today.
-
Nice!
-
We need 8 people on the squad. That way we can name ourselves "Snow White and the 7 dorks".

I think I was in some old timer's squad last time I had an account. Gunslingers or maybe Flying Circus. I really don't recall.
I haven't resubscribed yet. Been doing work-from-home stuff for my part time job. Still practicing shooting in the offline missions. There's a P-51/FW190 4 v 4 that I keep working on. Starting to get a few hits, still working on HOTAS button programs and views.
I kinda think HT has the AI set up to cheat a bit too. They turn just a bit too well, climb a bit too well, recover E a bit too well....or maybe I just really suck. I know I've shot the ailerons off of one and it still outturned me, LOL!
Been working too much, had to deal with some hard things. Just haven't really put in much time on it.

I tried that once before but I'm not smart enough to make it work.

I do not believe that for a second.
