Tehrawk Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 It was a night of firsts for anyone who attended. It was the first time live stream was used in such a manner for training. The first time the seasoned vets on the server seen so many Sharks in the air. And the first time I have gotten such professional and easy to understand instruction, for completely free! Not only does Tyger know what he is talking about. But he is able to present it, in an easy to understand, easy to follow manner. Not a lot of people can do that, especially while trying to maintain a heading in a Black shark. Let alone perform some tricky manoeuvres. One of the first things Tyger said during the training session, is something along the lines of. Some people tend to jump straight into combat, ignore a completely fundamental part of the sim, and as a result, get completely disillusioned with the game. Well this rang through for me. Thankfully this problem I didn't even know I had, has been completely rectified by Tyger. Now instead of attempting, and failing, the campaign missions when I fire up Black Shark. I will be practicing my hammerheads, funnels and break 180's. Really, if you have any reservations about attending any future events, just don't. An hour into the session, and just 30 minutes in the cockpit. The runway looked like a complete disaster area. There were no judgements when someone crashed. Just hop in another chopper, and try again. It wasn't expected that people learn the techniques there and then. Just have a better understanding of them, so that you could practice them in your own time. Which is one of the most valuable things I will take away from the session, an achievable goal. It goes without saying, but needs to be said, thanks Tyger! 1

Paradaz Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) A huge thanks specifically to 'Tyger' for hosting this training and other members of '74th' for assisting. It was very professionally put together and delivered and it certainly kept my intereat for the whole duration. I was evidently plain rubbish but learned a huge amount from this training and now have some good manoeuvres to practice in my own time. I struggled at the start wondering why it was that when we went to practice the lessons that had just been demonstrated, my helo was spinning all over the place on the tarmac.....turned out I had the game 'synchronised' to my Warthog controller button-states so the engines were immediately turning off etc. The livefeed combined brilliantly with the spectator mode and subsequent practices making it really easy to see the tutorials and make some notes. Looking forward to the next one and once again a big thankyou for doing this, it's appreciated. The enthusiasm and patience Tyger had (with me!) is commendable. If I were to give any recommendations, it would be to suggest in a little more detail what the lessons would be and give some recommendations as to what the basic buttons/controls (and possibly keyboard shortcuts) need to be mapped for the lessons. Because there are so many controls available, it's mind numbing when looking for something you may not be familar with and having to use precious training time go back into the game options to edit/check control settings.
