Was a good fight

Tonight me Steel_Tomb, Hunter and Dowly flew tonight, first half was a free for all and I got Hunter and for once Dowly, I thin I even got him twice.

Steel_Tomb had to get all teh poitns of course

Second half was 2 v 2 coop, Brits against those dirty foreigners.

Pretty even actually. I felt I flew better tonight. I can keep behind a guy now but need to translate that into the kill.

I thin I need to fiddle with my joystick settings, also even with my 8500GT 512MB card I was getting stutter in clouds even with land detail turned low., need to clean my system I think.

Brill flight tonight I loved the 2 v 2 fights. Got shot down once or twice, nice shooting Dowly. Hunter will be scouring the battlefield for all the wings I severed from his planes lol. Final score was 1420 for me, about 300 - 400 for Dowly. Poor Hunter got nothing

. Look forward to some more flying tomorrow.

Dowly · 03-17-08, 05:53 PM

Wouldnt call that even, me in a plane I can barely fly, so it was pretty much Hunter vs. you 2.

Steel_Tomb · 03-17-08, 05:55 PM

I lol'd so bad when Dowlys Mustang disintegrated during his dive in a last ditch attempt to shoot me down on finals. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: It just fell apart. Hunter in the tempest at the end, did you black out or was that suicide "intentional"? lol

Dowly · 03-17-08, 05:55 PM

Aye, I was going at ~680 and pulled up too hard.

EDIT: Oh and just for heads up. The next fly will be on max realism.

Steel_Tomb · 03-17-08, 05:57 PM

Yeah, where it says "Seasoned Skipper" you think you could get that changed to "Mr Wondershots" rofl.

btw dowly could you send me the track file if you recorded it!

Dowly · 03-17-08, 06:00 PM

Forgot to start the recording.

Steel_Tomb · 03-17-08, 06:01 PM

What realism settings were you on? I always fly max realism!

Dowly · 03-17-08, 06:03 PM

What you mean by max realism? You cant fly in max realism if the server isnt in max realism.

Steel_Tomb · 03-17-08, 06:04 PM

Offline I fly with max settings.

Ah, I have everything else on realism except the map icons and speed bar.

Steel_Tomb · 03-17-08, 06:14 PM

I only have heading, map icons are off.

Dowly · 03-17-08, 06:18 PM

I play SP for fun, not to look the targets for 30min.

Steel_Tomb · 03-17-08, 06:23 PM

True, but no icons trains you to use your situational awareness and constantly asses the situation.

Dowly · 03-17-08, 06:31 PM

I used to think like that too when I flew map icons off in SP. Then I noticed that it really was the same if it was on or off, because the AI doesnt try to surprise you or hide himself. You see them for far.
