apoll Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Hi. Well, it has come to this. I have always been an offline guy....never got in to the multiplayer thing at all. Didn't want to join a online squad and make a committment; join up and then let people down when real life intrudes. Don't own a microphone and wouldn't know how to setup/use Teamspeak (or whatever) if my life depended on it. BUT...I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and try and get some online training. I am probably not ready for a full online squad; besides I live eastern side of Australia and the thought of having to get up at sparrows to participate in your North American/European timezones leaves me cold....and most of the squads are in US (right?). Does anyone know of someone good who could walk me through how to setup microphine and get online with BS? And then take me through some real time flight instruction? Is there anyway of doing that? I have spent a lot of time getting familiar with the BS systems...but I guess I have only really scratched the surface, and I could really benefit from some 'hand holding', especially on how to get the best out of the autopilot/stabilisation modes when flying. I seem to be fighting the helicopter most of the time when I try and 'go tactical', and I'm sure it is because I don't yet fully understand the trim/auto pilot/stabilisation modes properly. I certainly will make the committment if there is someone out there who might be willing to invest some time with pretty much a newby type pilot. Anyway, grateful views/opinions/suggestions. apoll :)
Frederf Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Heck I'll give it a shot. I'm UTC-8 and keep semi-irregular hours so it could work. Sounds fun. Shoot me an e-mail, PM, or AIM message.
Speed Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 If Fred can't help you out, I am also available. PM me if interested.
