i've just recently added a handful or so afs applicants who have been eagerly waiting for their acceptance into our program.
to proactively engage these new pilots and to also give a chance for existing afs pilots who may have missed basic training, i'm offering allegiance 101 for the rest of the week (nightly, wednesday till friday).
when will i be online? well im pretty consistent in my playing schedule. i am in pst timezone (US west coast) and i play in the evenings.
for a more accurate display of my playing schedlue: click here
and enter fwiffo in the box. (you can also enter your own callsign as well to compare both our playing schedules)
you may want to enter your timezone too unless you want everything displayed in GMT
what is covered?
how to communicate - mumble setup. this is your pre-training homework
keymapping - default sucks. use mine. download from here
make a copy of your current one first, in case you want to go back.
instructions how to swap keymapping files here: click
if you use a joystick, please let me know beforehand so i can bring in an expert to cover joysticks. (i use keyb/mouse combo)
probing - how to probe, when to probe, where to probe and why. read more
stealth tactics - lets face it, when you are new, you are but a tasty snack for vets who've been playing this game for years. i will talk to you about the concept of scan ranges, how to stay undetected while being an asset to your team.
for advanced students
finally, if we have time, i will show you how to kill vets w/o any flying skills whatsoever. it will make use of all the topics covered above and a little bit of brain power. alleg is great because it doesnt entirely depend on having twitch reflexes or awesome flying skills. you can beat others by outsmarting them too!
back to basics
