CONNECTIVITY ISSUES
Following suggestions regarding connectivity issues:



Before a match, players should meet in text chat to prepare for the game
The player with the stronger connection should always set up the game,
irrespective of whether he is the host of the match or not
The host is the one whose 'home map' will be used. He also has the right to chose 'A' or 'B'
if a game is interrupted by a connection error, it should be repeated
if however a player suspects that the connection error was caused on purpose to gain unfair advantage,
he can refuse to repeat the game and call for a referee game by contacting the organizers
referees are assigned by the organizers of the tournament
they are players with strong internet connection who are trusted and will host the referree games
they will chose a bomber and retreat to a corner of the map during the game as to not interfere with the gameplay
upon completion of the game, they will take the screenshot of the final results and forward to the organizers
the organizers of the tournament reserve the right to exclude any player from the tournament
who is repeatedly found in violation of the rules or of unfair behavior
SETTINGS: (Matches will have to be repeated in case of any violations to these)

* Simulation mode only
* Map: you must post your favorite map as soon as possible as this will become your Home map. The Host will have the advantage of selecting either side A or B. (check Maps section below for a complete list and explanation of the maps)
* Strike Mode: the match will be played in Strike mode. Every crash equals a death. Also, it allows the player to respawn at their corresponding base.
* Time Limit: The Group Stage matches will be set to 20 minutes. Eliminatory matches and the Final will be set to 30 minutes.
*Weather: The only weather types allowed are: Clear, good, and Hazy.
* Respawn Time: Set this to 5 seconds (check Maps section for more info)
* Time of day: You can choose any except Night
* loadout: limited ammo and fuel only
* Aircraft allowed: P-51B and P-51D5 only

MAPS
* There are a total of 8 maps, please choose one as soon as possible to use as your "Home" map.

* After respawning, for as long as the red dot is visible on the map, opponents must fly away from each other until the red spot disappears.
* Once the red dot disappears, both are free to maneuver as they wish.

GAMEPLAY:

Tournament Part I: "The Group Stage"

* Matches will be set to 20 minutes
(each participant will play twice against every other player in their group (One as Host "Home map" the other as Visitor). This is why it is important to post your favorite map.
* The first 2 in each group will automatically advance to the Eliminatory Stage (subject to change depending on the number of players that enter the Tournament)
* The 3rd place of each group may have a final opportunity to qualify for the Eliminatory Stage (subject to change)
* Points will stop accumulating once the "Group Stage" ends


Tournament Part II: "The Eliminatory Stage"
* Matches will be set to 30 minutes
* Single matches, once you lose you will be eliminated
* In this Stage, the player that accumulated the least points during the "Group Stage"will be Hosting the Match and have the advantage of choosing their "Home" map and desired settings (must follow the Settings conditions)
* Note: In this stage the "strongest" players face the "weakest" players so it is advisable to try to end up in the top 2 positions of your Group.
　

MATCHES AND SCHEDULE FLEXIBILITY (important to read)

* The Winner of a match is responsible for submitting the results to edal86. This also applies if a player gives up during a match, and leaves the match without asking for a replay or referee match. In this case the match is counted as a 0:3 loss against the player who has given up. The 'winner' of such a match is also responsible to submit the intermediate results to edal86 with a remark: 'Win by withdrawal'. To save and submit the results, press the PS button, (Don't hold it down though) then scroll left to camera menu, and there is an option to take a screenshot. It will then be saved to your HD. Use this to take a snapshot of the "Match Results". Then, attach it to a PSN message along with the following: "name of host" vs "name of visitor", and planes used. Finally, send the PSN Message to edal86. (No Screenshot = Invalid Match)
* Players will have about a week to complete and submit their scheduled matches. During this time it is your responsibility to contact your opponent and agree on a time and day for the matches.
* Communication is vital, if you do not answer to a match challenge during the given time, you will automatically forfeit (loss of 0-3). However, if you know in advance that you will not be able to play during the given time frame, please contact edal86 and / or your opponent as soon as possible.
* A new schedule will be posted every week or so
* The "weekly" schedule will indicate your next 2 opponents, this equals 4 matches (20 minutes) per "week". So Do Not wait until the last minute to complete and submit your matches.
　

SCORING:

* In order to understand who advances from the Group Stage to the Eliminatory Stage please read the following:
- In order to win a match, a player must have less deaths than his adversary at the end of the 20 minute duel.
- In case both players have the same amount of deaths at the end of the match, then the match will be considered a Draw (see below for point accumulation).

Victory = 3 points
Draw = 1 point
Defeat = 0 points

- During the Group Stage, a player's position will be determined by the number of points accumulated (from greatest to least).
- In case two or more players have the same amount of Points the tie breaker will be determined by the Number of Kills. In case of a tie in the Number of Kills, the tie breaker will fall to whoever has the least amount of Deaths, in case of a tie in the Number of Deaths then the tie breaker will be determined by a Sudden Death Match (see Sudden Death Match for more info)
- Note: By kills I mean the amount of times that your opponents crashed (died). Remember that in this tournament we dont care what the computer considers to be a kill or a "edal86 has crashed" (even though you shot his brains out 2 minutes before which most likely caused him to crash).



* Sudden Death Match *
In case of a DRAW in any of the 30 minute Eliminatory Stage Matches or Final, I will host an extra 10 minute match for those who had the DRAW, also known as a Sudden Death Match. Then, I will go to a corner of the map so I wont interfere in the DUEL. Then, those players who had the DRAW will engage and whoever's name (on the bottom of the screen) I read first that crashes or gets killed will loose the match and be eliminated.

*** The same goes for me If I tie with any of you, Macademic will host that extra 10 minute match (if it is ok with him) since we all trust him. In the case that Macedemic happens to be the person I tie with, then he and I will have to agree on whom we want to be referee.

*** It is important for me to have all the rules ready before Tournament so there is no speculation that I am cheating. (I will not change any of the rules once the tournament has started)

*** Also, all rules apply to every single participant including Macademic and myself, No rule will be Bent for NO ONE.

* Les joueurs ont environ une semaine pour remplir et soumettre leurs matchs programmés. Pendant ce temps, il est de votre responsabilité de contacter votre adversaire et d'accord sur une heure et le jour pour les matches.
* La communication est essentielle, si vous ne répondez pas à un défi match pendant le temps imparti, vous perdez automatiquement (perte de 0-3).

* Un nouveau calendrier sera publié chaque semaine ou presque
* La "semaine" calendrier indiquera vos 2 prochains adversaires, ce qui équivaut à 4 matches (20 minutes) par «semaine». Alors, n'attendez pas jusqu'à la dernière minute pour remplir et soumettre vos matchs.


BUTS:

* Afin de comprendre qui les avances de la phase de groupes de la scène éliminatoires s'il vous plaît lisez ce qui suit:
- Pour gagner un match, un joueur doit avoir moins de décès que son adversaire à la fin du duel de 20 minutes.
- Dans le cas les deux joueurs ont la même quantité de décès à la fin du match, alors le match sera considéré comme un match nul (voir ci-dessous pour l'accumulation de points).

Victoire = 3 points
nul = 1 point
Défaite = 0 point

- Pendant la phase de groupes, la position d'un joueur sera déterminée par le nombre de points accumulés (plus grand au plus).
- Au cas où deux ou plusieurs joueurs ont le même nombre de points du bris d'égalité sera déterminé par le nombre de kills. En cas d'égalité dans le nombre de kills, le bris d'égalité tombera à celui qui a le moins de décès, en cas d'égalité du nombre de décès, puis le bris d'égalité sera déterminé par un match de la mort subite (voir subite Death Match pour plus d'infos)
- Note: Par tue je veux dire le nombre de fois que vos adversaires accidenté (décédé). Rappelez-vous que dans ce tournoi, nous ne m'inquiète pas ce que l'ordinateur considère comme un mort ou un "edal86 s'est écrasé" (même si vous avez tiré la cervelle 2 minutes avant ce qui a vraisemblablement causé le crash d').


* Match de la mort subite *
En cas d'égalité dans l'un des matchs éliminatoires 30 minutes du stade ou finale, je vais accueillir un match supplémentaire de 10 minutes pour ceux qui avaient le tirage, aussi connu comme un match de la mort subite. Ensuite, je vais aller dans un coin de la carte de façon Je ne vais pas interférer dans le duel. Ensuite, les joueurs qui avaient le tirage au sort se livrer et celui qui le nom (en bas de l'écran) J'ai lu d'abord que se bloque ou se fait tuer de perdre le match et être éliminé.

*** En va de même pour moi si je fais avec quelqu'un d'entre vous, sera l'hôte Macademic que match supplémentaire de 10 minutes (si il est ok avec lui) puisque nous avons tous confiance en lui. Dans le cas où Macedemic se trouve être la personne que je cravate avec, puis lui et je suis d'accord sur qui nous voulons être arbitre.

*** Il est important pour moi d'avoir toutes les règles prêt avant tournoi il n'y a donc pas de la spéculation que je triche. (Je ne vais pas modifier les règles une fois que le tournoi a commencé)

*** En outre, toutes les règles applicables à chaque participant unique, y compris Macademic et moi-même, aucune règle n est discutable

* Notiz: In dieser Phase tritt jeweils der stärkste Spieler einer Gruppe gegen den schwächsten einer anderen Gruppe an, deshalb ist es von Vorteil die Gruppenphase als stärkster Spieler zu beenden.
　

BEGEGNUNGEN UND FLEXIBILITÄT IM ZEITPLAN (wichtig):

* Der Sieger einer Begegnung ist dafür verantwortlich die Spielergebnisse an edal86 weiterzuleiten. Das gilt auch für den Fall, dass ein Spieler während eines Matches aufgibt, d.h. das Spiel verlässt und es weder wiederholen will, noch ein Schiedsrichterspiel möchte. In diesem Fall wird das Spiel mit 0:3 gegen den aufgebenden Spieler gewertet. Der 'Sieger' ist auch in diesem Fall verantwortlich das Zwischenergebnis mit der Information: 'Sieg durch Aufgabe' an edal86 weiterzuleiten. Um das Spielergebnis zu speichern, muss man bei Erscheinen der Spielergebnisse den PS Knopf kurz drücken (nur kurz), dann im Menü zu Photos gehen und dort ein Bildschirmphoto machen. Dieses Photo wird dann auf der Playstation abgespeichert. Nach Abschluss der Begegnungen muss dann für jede einzelne Begegnung eine PSN Nachricht mit dem Titel "Match Results" an edal86 geschickt und daran den das richtige Bildschirmphoto angehängt werden. Zusätzliche Informationen sind im Text mitzuschicken: Name des Gastgebers, Name des Gastes, und wer welche Flugzeuge verwendet hat (ohne Einlangen der vollständigen Informationen und Bildschirmphotos wird die Begegnung als ungültig gewertet).
* Die Spieler haben etwa eine Woche Zeit ihre Begegnungen abzuhalten und die Ergebnisse einzusenden. Während dieses Zeitraums sind die Spieler dafür verantwortlich ihre Gegner zu kontaktieren und sich auf Termine zu einigen.
* Kommunikation ist von entscheidender Bedeutung, wenn ein Spieler es versäumt auf Einladungen zu reagieren und ein Spiel daher nicht gemäss Zeitplan stattfinden kann, wird das Spiel automatisch für den anderen Spieler entschieden (Verlust von 0-3). Wenn ein Spieler jedoch im vorhinein weiss dass er nicht in der Lage sein wird seine Spiele durchzuführen, so soll er sich so bald als möglich an edal86 und/oder seinen Gegner wenden.
* Etwa jede Woche wird ein neuer Zeitplan veröffentlicht.
* Der "wöchentliche" Zeitplan verlautbart die nächsten 2 Gegner, das bedeutet 4 Begegnungen (jeweils 20 Minuten) pro "Woche". Die Begegnungen sollen zügig abgehalten werden, damit die Ergebnisse nicht erst in der letzten Minute einlangen.
　

PUNKTEWERTUNG:

* Um den Aufstieg von der Gruppenphase in die Eliminierungsphase zu verstehen ist folgendes wichtig:
- Um eine Begegnung zu gewinnen muss ein Spieler am Ende der 20 Minuten Spieldauer weniger Verluste (Flugzeuge, nicht Punkte) erlitten haben als sein Gegner.
- Im Falle dass beide die gleiche Anzahl an Verlusten erlitten haben wird die Begegnung als unentschieden gewertet.

Sieg = 3 Punkte
Unentschieden = 1 Punkt
Niederlage = 0 Punkte

- Während der Gruppenphase wird eines Spielers Position durch die Höhe seiner Punkte ermittelt (von den meisten zu den wenigsten Punkten).
- Im Falle einer Punktegleichheit zweier Spieler zählt die höhere Anzahl an dem Gegner zugefügten Verlusten, im Falle eines Gleichstands an Verlusten entscheidet die geringere Anzahl eigener Verluste, im Falle eines Gleichstands hier entscheidet das Ausschliessungsduell (siehe Ausschliessungsduell für infos).
- Notiz: mit dem Gegner zugefügten Verlusten ist die Anzahl gemeint wie oft der Gegner zum Absturz gekommen ist. Es ist wichtig sich zu vergegenwärtigen dass es bei diesem Turnier nicht darauf ankommt ob der Computer einen Absturz oder Abschuss registriert.

*Ausschliessungsduell*
Im Falle eines UNTENTSCHIEDEN in einer 30 Minuten Begegnung der Eliminierungsphase oder im Finale wird edal86 eine zusätzliche 10 Minuten Begegnung für diese Begegnungen veranstalten. In diesen Begegnungen wird sich edal86 in die Ecke der Karte begeben um die Gegner nicht zu behindern. Der erste Spieler der bei einer solchen Begegnung sein Leben verliert (durch Absturz oder Abschuss) verliert und scheidet aus dem Turnier aus.

*** Das Gleiche gilt für edal86 sollte er mit jemandem ein Untenschieden erzielen. In diesem Fall wird MACADEMIC eine zusätzliche 10 Minuten Begegnung veranstalten. Sollten MACADEMIC und edal86 ein Untenschieden erzielen, werden sie sich auf einen Gastgeber für die Entscheidung einigen.
*** Es ist für edal86 wichtig vor Turnierbeginn alle Regeln zu vervollständigen damit niemand auf die Idee kommt er würde sich in irgendeiner Weise bevorteilen wollen. Sobald das Turnier begonnen hat werden die Regeln nicht mehr geändert.
*** Weiters gelten die Regeln für alle gleich, auch für edal86. Die Regeln werden für NIEMANDEN gebeugt.

[edal86]

Mirgervin,
How are you my most respected and feared adversary :) It will be nice to see you fly once more.

Macademic,
It will be nice if you could translate the rules to German. Also let me know if you are not ok with any part of the rules. Also, can you please add each participant's PSN along with their forum name, thanks :)

To All,
- I have now posted a rough draft of the rules (these are all subject to change until I post the Final version of the rules)
- I have also posted a French Version of the rules (By an old friend Philabong2).
- A German Version of the rules will also be included most likely by my friend Macademic.
- Good luck guys, and please post any questions or doubts.

*** Please spread the word about this Tournament, I need a minimum of 16 participants ***

*** I would be grateful if you guys could add the animation below to your signature in order to serve as advertisement :) (for some reason my signature does not display it :S)

Thanks

Great work my friend Edal!

To use the advertisment banner as a signature:

- Right click on the banner
- Select 'Open Image in New Window'.
- Mark all and Right Click 'Copy' the address line of the new window
- Go back to 1C forum, go to UserCP
- Go to 'Signatures'
- Don't use the add image to signature field, but use the 'Insert Image' icon in the text field
- Paste the address line
- Click Save
- Done!

Seems the other option doesn't allow for dynamic GIFs.

Meanwhile I've added location and timezone to the player list. They're all PSNs. German translation will shortly be published by Edal.

Best,

MAC

I'll regret this but... Count me in.

I haven't decided on my home map yet as I would like to know if we can swap between the 2 51's or, if once we pick, we have to stay with the same plane?

EDIT: I'm in the UK

Ok.

I think I'll pick Winter Stalingrad (or whatever it's called) as my 'home'

I should really go and practice as GT5 has been taking all of my PS3 time recently. I'll probably be looking for the hand brake next time I fly...

[Wild_Bill_Kelso]

I'd like to participate as well. I second the Winter of Stalingrad for my home map....

Ace of Aces Facts:

*I just wanted to add that our defending Champion of the first Ace of Aces Tournament, Mirgervin, has already joined this Mustang Trophy Tournament, good luck to those that end up in his group :)

*Another interesting fact, our now great Macademic and co-creator of this Tournament had also participated on the first Aces of Aces tournament, unfortunately, he entered the tournament as a substitute picking up the slack of a participant who decided to withdraw from the tournament because he was doing poorly. Well, I am happy to know that this time our great friend Macademic has the same opportunity as everyone else for the title of this Tournament and as founder of the P-51 Purist Club he is also one of the favorites to win this event.

[MACADEMIC]

Thanks Edal my friend for the kind words, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Since I'm just a target in my other life, I'm rather triggershy...

Anyway, let's all have fun with this tournament. I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

Lol.

I do not concider myself to be an ace and compered to you guys I am far from.
But I guess you need something to shoot at up there so if you would allow me to join, I am in.

Love this game and will do anything to keep it from dying online.

Tell me about it, today was the first time that I inserted the Il-2 disc in probably 3-4 months, and it was only to check the name of the maps and weather type settings lol

Hey Mac,

check your e-mail

[JOED70]

Wow okay Happy New Years one and all .
Sorry been AWOL due to Holidays and Cough ... :rolleyes:GTA 5 (Shift was a better Sim raceing game IMHO) :cool:
Home Field Would be Dover or Sicly

[JOED70]

* All control layouts are allowed.
* If you run out of ammunition, you will not be penalized if you decide to ram your opponent.

SETTINGS (this section has been edited): (Matches will have to be repeated in case of any violations to these)

[/FONT]

Best rule ever ^5

[edal86]

To all:

Ok guys, Version 2.5 of the rules is ready with a new section (Maps). Please choose only 1 Map, if you are undecided then, decide lol.


Macademic,

I am glad to let you know that I leave after finishing editing the rules. Sorry to leave out landing as an option to rearm but I think that it would create some problems and slow gameplay. Also, dont forget that you too need to choose a Map :)

** I choose Sicily, the coast!

*** Almost forgot, Have a Happy New Year!!!!!!!

[The_Stapler]

Prizes eh? I'm hoping the worst pilo gets a REAL P-51 as a prize! Then I'll definitely win something XD
I've got 2 questions Edal:
What is classified as 'running away'? Would I be disqualified if I spent 20 seconds disengaging to gain altitude, or something like that?
What do we do if we are inside the 'safe respawn zone' when our targe- I mean, our opponent respawns? Do we just fly out of the zone, THEN engage, or do we need to wait until the opponent is also out of the zone?

[themeistor1]

i will choose good old blighty (England) as my home map 'A'

[MACADEMIC]

I've got 2 questions Edal:
What is classified as 'running away'? Would I be disqualified if I spent 20 seconds disengaging to gain altitude, or something like that?
What do we do if we are inside the 'safe respawn zone' when our targe- I mean, our opponent respawns? Do we just fly out of the zone, THEN engage, or do we need to wait until the opponent is also out of the zone?

Thanks for the questions The_Stapler,

1. No, you wont be disqualified if you spent 20 seconds or a minute or two disengaging to gain altitude, or something like that. I know that there are many tactics out there and some of you may not be too fanatical of "Turn and Burn" dogfights. This "No running away" rule was intended only to prevent a player who is intimidated by a stronger opponent from evading any confrontation at all. This does happen believe it or not because earning that 1 point due to a DRAW does make a difference, especially if you earn it from a very strong opponent.

(short story)
My good friend Tommykocher is a "Boom and Zoom" expert, he used to fly the BF109k4 against my spitfire and he really made me lose my temper because of how good he applied his tactics, at first I was mad because he was evading me and just when I turned my back there he was again on my six full speed. Can you guys see the difference here? He was not evading confrontation, he was evading my strengths (Turn and Burn). He defeated me in that occasion by the way :(

2. Basically, the "safe respawn zone" lies between the enemy's ground targets. If you are inside his ground targets (marked on the actual game map) then please use your enemy's respawn time (15 seconds) to fly away from this area. If for some reason he happens to respawn near you and you know that you can easily get the kill then please be honorable and do not engage, allow him a fair fight. Do you guys undestand what I mean?

*What I used to do when this was not a rule in my previous tournament was to shoot some rounds so that he could know my position, I also liked to pass by him head on without engaging so that he noticed me and then turn and engage*

*** Please post more questions or if you are still confused or this explanation was not helpful please let me know***

[The_Stapler]

Thanks for clearing that up, Edal. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be breaking any rules! And by the results of a dogfight with themiestor, 'Boom and Zoom' is gonna be my only hope at winning!

[wolfsalt]

Happy New year all!

I'd really like to join the Tournement if i may, sounds like good fun!

I'd like my home map to be Britain and that's where im also from.

Cheers

[edal86]

The Stapler,
No worries, thanks again for your question. It has been decided, though, that the "No running away", "No hiding" rule will be deleted as it creates confusion, also, with the patch the "No hiding" rule is no longer needed since a black dot shows the player where the enemy is no matter the distance (thanks for this information Macademic:))

Wolfsalt,
Macademic will take care of your application, good luck and thanks for the interest :)

So much talent with the graphics Bravo!!!!

Just to confirm my home map will be Jolly old England.

[P-51]

Well, I'm Back.

Somebody sign me up! :D I'll get some practice in, as you can tell, I love the P-51 so I'll be looking for a number 1 or 2 spot finish! Although I have a slight disadvantage with the lookaround controls on the Thrustmaster PS3 stick thingy, I'll be sure to mix up my Turn and burn skills with some Boom and Zoom. Watch out! (Any prizes for talking big? :P).

Incase you all forgot I'm Reaper1526. :) I'm UK based so may as well take the Dover map! I also got into the last comp that the great Edal did. The only reason I lost was I was forced out of using the P-51 because of its obvious disadvantages! Hopefully I can become one beloved aircraft again! *fires up the Merlin*.

Oh, Welcome back Edal! Hope you all had a great new year and continue into this year with good luck! :)

[MACADEMIC]

Somebody sign me up!

Well, that would be me. Long time no see - welcome back, and welcome to the tournament (I knew you'd show up, with your forum nickname...). You're on.

It has been quite a while, I must admit! I think the last time we flew was that tournament with the USSR vs the UK/US. That was a heck of a long time ago!

I've only really skimmed the thread after the first two pages (i read the rules :D) but when will we find out what groups we are in? I'm assuming after the 14th?

I've only really skimmed the thread after the first two pages (i read the rules :D) but when will we find out what groups we are in? I'm assuming after the 14th?

Chris

Hi,

This time there will be no country grouping, the groups will be randomly established (depending on how many players we end up with and how many groups) after the 14th. I'll describe the method for this in a later post.

Wakespeak,
Battle of the Bulge = The Ardennes, welcome :)

To all,
Version 3.0 of the Rules is ready, changes include:
- New rules for after you Respawn
- Respawn Time changed from 15 to 5 seconds
- New changes to Maps

Macademic,
We got 16 participants now :), your idea of adding a Waitlist sounds good you should add these "waitlist" slots to the first post so those who still want to apply dont see the slots full and turn away

** By the way, I am still missing "Home Maps" from the following:
*Macademic
*Mirgervin
*tommykocher
*kavorland

[MACADEMIC]

Edit 11/01/2011:

Hi everybody,

Today we reached our goal of 20 contestants. We now open a waiting list for the next four. These will be confirmed once the list is full. Last chance to apply is January 14, 2359UTC.

Hi dkwookie,

the tournament is for members and Friends of the P-51 Mustang Purist Club only. Also, at the moment there is a waiting list which can be only confirmed once there are four on that list, or someone is dropping out.

Not a big problem to enlist you as a Friend though, but I'm not sure we've met on Simulator yet - I think you're playing mostly Arcade, right? Anyway, what's your PSN?

MAC

Hi mac i am mainly realistic and arcade but can fly sim too.

Hi everyone,

My homemap is going to be Sicily - The Coast.

Also pleased to say the preparations for the tournament are going very well. We hope to soon present you 'The Mustang Trophy'.

And, much activity now going on online, fine-tuning of Mustangs, tactics and maneuvers.

Thank you all for your support and interest!

I was thinking of doing some wallpaper for PS3, if I do I'll post it here.

In payment for that tenner you will owe me when the season is over you can send me an a5 signed version ;-)

Thanks dkwookie, I'm also amazed how all have come out of the woodwork to pull together and make this happen.

However, a word of caution.

We need two more players to confirm your participation. And ideally by Friday next week we'd have a total of 24, which would make for an even better tournament.

Therefore everybody, spread the word!

Preferably recruit members (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=14772) or Friends (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=15767), who haven't shown up yet, but in case you have someone you'd vouch for (they'd have to be able to play SIM and be commited), we'd put them on the Friend's list so they can join.

edit I of course lost the saves so I dont have either mustang so I cant join :(

uh what a pitty i dont have a chance to take part of ur tournament. so good luck enyone. u all got the best chanes if i'm not competing... rofl

for me the meistor and vdomini or olife are the favorits. somehow meistor will get under first three places.

with a fokker d9 i rip of the most p51 pilots but the meistor didnt let me come to a single shoot in our games. he uses 7 1/2 - max elevator settings and for other pilots the mustang behaves to slippy i guess.

so he would probably win

is there no german competitor yet???

what a shame...

Hi Dementia Seven,

In fact we do have a German competitor, tommykocher. Just wondering, why do you think you cannot join the tournament? Do you not have time, or are there other reasons? If you think you cannot take part because you're not a member or Friend, I could easily put you on the friend's list and then you could join. Requirement would only be that you commit yourself to completing your matches.

hello friend nice to read from you again :)

Thanks for including me in your list eheh but my flying skills are pretty rusty, i need some training before the tournament... and you are the most dangerous BF109 pilot i've ever met into il2 game!

I have been playing with almost all the player that have been signed up in the tournament, and they are very good and hard to beat! :eek: That would be a real challenge and, most of all, a real super fun!

Some of my very personal consideration about....

themeistor has showed a very fast and deadly learning about how to rule il2 pixels sky! Very very strong player. Hard to beat.

wolfsalt nicknamed "the evil" by me :-P real ace, can't beat him :evil:

Olife and Mirgervin Well? What can i say? i simply can't beat them lol. I feel like they are very old player and have been supporting this game by playing it online for AGES.... it would be nice if they would get some prizes :) Feeling like they deserve it :cool:

macademic "the teacher"... flying following his rules, he flyes like a ghost.... invisible and uncatchable! Also very creative and full of will :)

I have never met Edal86 in game but i fear like he's super strong :shock: I've seen him on 1st place on the ladder list for several months....

See you soon!

[haitch40]

To give you an Idea of Edals strength he can beat good players with plenty of skill in an FW190 (and we all know how much it sucks in this game) with us in spitfires.

[The_Stapler]

Hey all, i'd just like to mention that I'm at college Tuesday til Thursday. I'm 'grounded' for those days since I won't be at home. I could maybe manage to play Thursday nights, weather permitting.

[P-51]

would love you to send data.
Btw I cant play wednesdays thursdays or fridays buisy those days.

To save me a bit of time (yes I'm that lasy :P) I went and found this thread:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=11443&highlight=ps3+save+data

A bit down the first page should show the data, just paste (unzipped I think) onto a memory stick, put it into the console. Go to the save data section, you'll see the USB drive option and you can copy it over so you don't need the card in. Though trophies will be locked out, you'll have most of the aircraft.
Warning though, That may be a rusty explanation! :P (I'm sure someone can clarify)

If It doesn't work then you can rely on me getting off my but and trying it with mine! :D Enjoy!

Thank you Vdomini, but...more like a rabbit in the headlights when you see me from miles away while I'm looking out of my cockpit having no idea where you are until you pop up at my 6 o'clock, guns blazing...but hey I'm not complaining, someone has to hold up the flag for the Club!

But seriously, Vdomini for me you are also a top contender for the title! Tournament starting in one week!

Flight log:


18.02.11
Quarter final against Mirgervin.
The match set at Britain, evening and clear weather. On my recce flights I bumped into edal and wolfsalt on this map earlier in the day. They both tought me a lesson in T&B fighting and I had to reconcider my tactics against Mirgervin. I also found the D5 easy to spot under these conditions, and prayed that Mirgervin would use this.
As he is the better pilot, I needed to be the better tactic. We met late evening and set of, both in the B :(
As I guessed Mirgervin where a low level T&B fighter, much better then me. I chose to go high, get a birds eye on things, spot him first and B&Z him.
After a long search I spotted him below me, maneuvered in position and commenced attack but lost him out of sight against the ground. I broke of to stay undetected and repositioned my self. Same procedure again and lost him again, d_mn him for choosing the B version. Third time, he spots me and gets the better position, wings me on approach and I am to damaged to regain position, he gets me. From respawn I head straight at him, leveled head on, he gets the better aim and hits my left wing, I believe I got some shots in him but my left wing is read. As of this my turn becomes to wide and he is obviously not that damaged as he is on my six again and gets me the second time. Respawn, but time is against me and dont get to reencounter.

13.02.11
Stabler put up a good fight in first match. I have been grounded for a week and made some silly mistakes in the first match and Stapler got me good.
Recovered some in the second. Good flying and finally airborne again.
Stapler won the first with nasty figures, I won the next with a scream....

31.01.11
Second leg in the tourney. Had reaper and Joed70 schedueled.
First match out against reaper on my home map. He got the first kill from a head on. Next one I out turned him and shot him down. The match battled to and from in tight turns and clean shots. I ended up killed 3 times and reaper 2 but crashed 4. Total reaper 3/4 and me 2/3, I win.
Rematch on reapers turf, Dover. He got me again on the first encounter and again I retaliated. After that I missed out on the next encounter, lost him outta sight and had to pay for that as he got behind and shot me down.
Reaper in the lead and turned defensive. In my quest for my next kill we ended uo above Scotland ;) where reaper was at high altitude, in my climbchase I got to eager and didnt see him turn down on me. A beautiful B/Z kill from reaper and he had 3 vs 1. Respawn and picked him up again, manoeverd behind him, but the fox throttled of as I was in shoot range, I overshoot and missed out. Reaper wins the second of two great games.

Next up was Joed70. He had returned to his ps3pad. He managed to get some shots in me in both matches, but in the turns he had problems in spinning out and became easy pray. 2 wins to me. Great game Joed.


24.01.11
Rematch against Olife. I hosted on the Sicily map. First encounter was a straight head on were Olife made some hits. Banking right after the pass. my plane was to damaged to keep flyin. Olife scores. Respawned and of to another head on, same happens again. evasive manuever set to late yet again. Next time I managed to get around him and get some hits, Olife grounds it. Olife 2 me 1 when I hit a roof at low level. Then Olife starts his evasive manuevers and I am left chasing him through half Italy and ends up in yet another total f**k roof.
Olife 2 kills 2 deaths and me 1 kill 4 deaths.....

21.01.11
Second match against Macademic. He hosted at Sicily, the coast and flew the D5. Mac went for altitude advantage from start. After finally spotting him high up, my climb started, trying to stay undedected. From Macs movements, I had to abort and re-establish climb patterns. After a long climb, I managed to come on his six and got a lucky hit. Mac turned downwards, and we went spiralling towards the sea. He was constantly performing advanced evasive manuevers but I managed to get some more hits as we went downwards.
At sea level, he almost managed to out manuever me at low level/low speed turns but luckily for me he overperformed and spun out to crash in the sea. From respawing Mac comes right out in leveled flight attacking me. My evasive maneuver is set to late and he hits me slightly, but I manage to stay out of his aim and in control of the plane and as we battle around time runs out. A very thight and good fight.

19.01.2011
Tonight was the first match night in the tourney for me.
I had scheduled matches with Olife. We battled two matches against each other and Olife won both.
Unfortunatly we both missed out on the respawn/disengagement rule in both matches. As of this we agreed, after consulting Mac, to cancel the first and schedule a rematch as this match was the one suffering most from this.
Later on I hosted a match against Mac and got lucky.
Learning from my tactical errors against Olife, I managed to get the upper hand and held it through the match.
Thanks to you both guys.

1'st mission against Edal86 tonight. A real close and intens game. He got out 1 point on top in each. (If my memory don't serve me well here, you gotta excuse me Edal!) Great fun and a real good experience. Did a cpl of "rookiefu*k-ups there. (Allways remember the combatflaps!)

2'nd mission against winny1973. A mission I didn't look forward to, but it went out just fine. (I'm really happy I didn't convert to cars & racetracks back in '10. I was close, but resisted!) He got me a cpl of times at Stalingrad in winter, but over Berlin I ruled the sky. Another nervewrecking experience, but it was nice to score the first points in the tourny. Thanks for being a great sport Winny!

3'rd misson Cheers wolf! 2 intense missions. Man, you can't fool this pilot. If u miss him your're done for. Agressive skilled. He won his homemap, I won mine. Anyway... Great matches. The chase of the bluenosed bitch is on!

4'th mission Themeistor came in fast with guns blazing! Cpl of attacks from high, but mostly head-ons in treetop-level. Good close fight, but the rounds in the engine and wings on the headons gave the Old Crow a bad limp. All in all a really close shave, but themeistor got both matches. Guess I'm heading back to base and a beer at the mess with the chaps after this one. Two good games, but all the same... Not satisfactory. Good luck to themeistor!

5'th mission and Mage_016 sets off over Berlin. I flame him in the first encounter, and he get's me in the second. It develops in to a give&take, but in the end I get the upperhand. A good and intense match! A hard and fair opponent but the Old Crow takes no prisoners, and I can return to base.

And I guess the Old Crow will return to his hangar. Bruised in battle - but not totally wrecked after all. The old bird will propably fly another day...

Cheers Gentlemen - and whatch your six!

Hey Kav,

Good idea. I suggest everybody makes himself an INFO and MESSAGE board with information on himself here on this thread, like KAV and McQ59 already did, and I will create a link on the players list (first post of the thread) to it.

27/02/2011: Superbrawl day. Not all matches in the B tournament were completed, Tommy went MIA and was disqualified. So today Mirgervin and I played a little finals in the B, since we were the ones with the most points in the group. I must say it was the worst match I have played in a long time, especially in the B. My Mustang felt heavy, sluggish, the engine weak. I couldn't maneuver, really couldn't keep up at all. Whatever good I had felt about my flying was just not there in the crucial moment, and my otherwise loyal Mustang failed me. The victory I carried away was not much deserved. Mirgervin crashed too many times without my involvement. i don't know why but perhaps he had reached his goals and was not able to tune to the fickle settings after his day of glory. Anyway, I grabbed the title, perhaps deserved all in all, but this match was awful. 8:7

15/02/2011: Today was a match to remember. If there ever was a good reason to have a blog, this was it. B tournament, rematch against Mirgervin. This man was born with wings. What he was producing with the P-51B was just incredible. Longest scissors and knifeedge fighting I can remember - ever! No one able to gain clear advantage, it fittingly ended with us crashing into each other. Two old samurai warriors ending an unwinnable fight with mutually mortal blows. Wow. Although the match was very even, Mirgervin took victory home on the day. 4:5. Epic match!

11/02/2011: Last two matches in the A tournament group phase for me today. I'm playing dkwookie, a serial killer in Arcade but not quite so much in Simulator - yet! Got to watch him in the future. First match I lose control of my plane too easily and carelessly give a good lead away. Better luck on my home match, where I keep the upper hand throughout. In the end we both carry on victory home. A nice end of the A tournament for me.

07/02/2011: I was hoping not having to do this, but after wakespeak failed to reply to my messages and that of other players for such a long time, Edal and I agreed that it's best to disqualify him. I don't know the reason for his sudden departure and loss of interest (someone using his account is frequently popping up on PSN), but we felt it's best to disqualify him and not keep everyone running after him. A bit sad for the tournament but what can we do?

07/02/2011, continued: Two great matches in the A tournament against Olife. First one a clear 0:4, second one we fight hard and in the end it's a respectable 4:5. Great matches Olife San!

06/02/2011: Rematch against Edal in the B tournament, it takes us a long time to find each other, and he finds me first. I come spiralling down from high when he gets me and blackens my windscreen. We end the match with 2:2. Good match, Edal has improved much in flying Club Rules!

04/02/2011: Rematch against Mage in the B tournament, I host this time. Mage is dangerous and efficient today, I'm soon behind with 1:3. Pulling myself together to avoid a loss, I go on the offensive. At 3:3, the decisive moment of the match: Mage is behind me, I'm maneuvering wildly to escape his bullets, and he plunges to the sea! Lucky escape. The game ends with 5:4 for me, a lucky win! GREAT MATCH!

30/01/2011:

Nice match against Mirgervin in the B tonight. We both played offensively, I won 6:3.

29/01/2011:

'A' tournament, matches versus Reaper. A pretty straightforward affair, my goal is to not allow him more than three kills within the 20 minutes period. I'm no coward, but he's a very strong player and I'm disadvantaged flying Club Rules. And so, not surprising, when we do come in vicinity and I see his red dot, the next I see is him firmly in my six with guns blazing. I achieve my modest goals. 0:3, both matches.

'B' tournament, visitor match against tommy. Tommy and I often play Club Rules and it's always fun. He's a cool tactician and able to jump his opponents when they don't expect it, usually from high. I decide to not leave the high road all to him alone and climb from the beginning. It takes a while til I see his red dot, but the next thing is him shooting. Again, he managed to somehow find me first and get on my six. But his shots are from too far, so I slam the power full forward and begin a frantic dive, his bullets zooming past me left and right. Reaching tree level I continue to extend away from him, my D5 at advantage here. When I reach enough distance, I drop combat flaps, cut the power and bank hard back into the bogey. My maneuver is working, he's zooming past and I briefly hit him. He begins a steep defensive left turn close to the ground, I follow, revs up. Any mistake here can be deadly. I don't have enough speed to yo yo, so have to stay close to the ground. He starts gaining on me ever so slightly, but for a split second he's pulling too hard, stalls and slams into the ground. Lucky to have survived! I pull away to gain altitude before our next encounter. When his red dot appears, it is behind me, again! I power up and extend in a straight line, the costly A tournament matches have taught me better than to hang around a red dot of which I don't know where he is - if he sees me I'm dead. After gaining some distance, I turn back to face him, but we don't find each other. At the end Tommy crashes a second time. I win 2:0.*

* Tommy was very upset with my defensive flying, his second crash in protest as time ran out. Perhaps there's something to it, being a rat in a barrel in the 'A' leaves some marks, lol.

28/01/2011: Matches against Stapler. Not surprisingly, he always sees me first. However, he has a couple of accidents, which swings luck in my direction. Good matches. End result 3:2, both matches.

26/01/2011: Beginning of Week 2. Week 1 has been really successful, most matches took place. After catching up with Edal, we'll decide what to do with the missed ones. We also introduced some penalties to enforce the chosen homemaps and the correct submissions of results. Hope this will work, Edal's having a hard time chasing everybody for missing infos.

23/01/2011: Early morning match for me, very early morning match for Edal (time difference 9 hours). B-tournament. I host. We both set off into the hazy evening of the Sicilian coast with P-51Bs. Many minutes pass before we even see the red dots of each other. Then, a near head on pass very close to the ground nearly brings disaster. The first I see are blazing guns, hitting my engine. A quick look over the shoulder confirms glycol streaming out, but my controls are intact. Also no oil on windscreen. This engine will last me for some more minutes. On the engine's last breath I score my third kill, before I ditch into the sea. 3:1.

22/01/2011: First match in the B-tournament versus Mage, he hosts. I've been looking forward to this. Like a rat in a barrel in the A tournament with my selfmade triple handicap cockpit, no hud and full sense - here the playing field is even. And how much I like it. Unfortunately Mage has some internet problems and at a score of 1:1, we lose connection. On the second go luck is on my side, and after a thrilling 20 minute match I win 2:0. Great immersion, great match! Good to play with Mage again.

21/01/2011: Rematch against KAV, this time I host. KAV spots me flying very high and manages to sneak on me, undetected. He hits me good with his first pass, my windscreen turning black, but nearly stalls out in the thin air. Through the oil I'm aiming at him and think I hit him, but only lightly. Trying to dive away to safety in the clouds, but to no avail, with the oiltrail I'm leaving behind. I receive a few more hits which cripple my airplane, losing next to all aileron control to the left. What follows are minutes of agony, KAV is in a position to shoot but doesn't. I'm trying my luck by taking next to all speed out, and it's working, he overshoots. But my crippled crate doesn't want move into action anymore, and I can't get my guns on him. Finally, exhausted, I crash into the sea. With only minutes left, I power up towards the point of our last encounter. KAV has retreated but I find him, hit him a few times but can't bring him down. Time runs out, and the score is 0:1. Good match.

19/01/2011: Day 3 brings defeat in my first match with KAV as visitor. Looks like I can outrun but not outturn him in his P-51B (I flew the D5). Made some silly mistakes like crashing into him after a kill, but all in all he just was the better flyer on the day. Hope for better luck on rematch.

18/01/2011: Day 2 of the tournament. Really happy about the kickoff yesterday. Great many thanks to Gaijin for sponsoring, received reimbursement for the trophies only minutes after showing them. Now that much of my work has been done, it's time to enjoy...

17/01/2011: Inauguration day, getting all ready last minute, but we're making it. First match with JOE, great sport but handicapped by a new joystick he insists on using. So luckily, inspite of my insistence on flying under my own silly rules, I win both matches.

It's not a problem since we've been flying together in the past. Only thing we're asking is that players commit to playing their matches and stick to the rules. I'll add you to the Friends list, this is a formality to ensure quality. I'll also put you on the waiting list, hopefully it will fill up until the 14th 2359UTC to confirm your place. This means we'd need three more players to reach 24 participants.

Comment for the rules. I recommend to take the screenshot even if you did lose the match. That way you have some backup if the winner fails to take it. It did happen in last tournament.

And count me in to that B tournament too.

War Diary:
Jan 18th - Just my luck, 1st time up and I run into 2 aces. Made it through my first encounter with JRHOODY alive and fairly unscathed. Wasn't an easy match by any stretch though.

And then there was MIRGERVIN, or atleast I think it was him. I didn't actually see his plane in the Dover match (lol), but my plane constantly turning into a fireball told me he was there. After, total and utter defeat I proceeded to Berlin where I unfortunately ran into him again. This time I was better prepared. I took note of his maneuvers and tried to match them best I could. This managed to give me enough of an edge to actually see his plane and even get a few rounds off. We passed so close a few times, Ill have a new haircut when I get home. Hope the wife likes it.

Sorry guys, I am "forced" to cancell my partecipation for the tournament.

That breaks my heart a lot, friends and people that knows me might be interestend knowing the reason why, and i feel like informing them about the reason ( read the following post ). I am not quitting IL2, it's my fav game on ps3, i just don't have spare time anymore to play playstation as i used to have in the past, specially for the next months... Can't tell right now. I wish you a good, challenging, fair tournament and, may the best win! Always, take it easy this is a game! :-P


I feel like sharing part of my private life with friend that might wanna know why i can't play anymore as i used to do, i just feel like spending more word on it. If interested, keep reading, otherwise, feel free skipping next post.

Quitting few days before the torunament starts make me feel very bad toward people who spent a lot of effort and energy setting up the rule and the tournament ( the great MACADEMIC, edal86 and more... ) but i misjudged the energy i will have to spend in my incoming commitment. Tournament sadly happened just too late ... i wish it could have been settled up last year :(

Anyway....
The new years have brought a lot of new things ( most of them happily wished ) into my life and my little free time is getting short day by day. I 've got new timetable at my work place ( some more strict shifts :( ) and some great things just have happened at the beginning of the last week that had consumed all my free time, that sadly forced me to cancel my parteciaption at the tournament, because i would not be able to connect at night anymore as i used to do.
( I will have to work from 10.00 a.m. to 8.00 pm, getting home around at 9.00 p.m. so my only free time is located during night hours, that have to be optimized... main reason explained next.... )

Apart from my work, wich i could easily handle, that would not the main "problem", in my spare time i'm a jazz musician ( been playing guitar and more musical instrument for around 20 years, jazz rock pop but approached jazz music in a serious way around three years ago ) and the new years have brought me the possibility to build up a quintet after years of "underground work" with some great musician i know :cool: and also the possibility to work, study and grow with some great and "historical" artist that lives in my city. That's mean that at night ( few free night time hours i have during the week ) i will have to do rehearsal and stay very very focused on this, spending more time studyng / arranging / composing / experimenting and practicing music as i never had done before. ( Musician i will play with have, of course, expetation, as i do, and i want to perform at the maximum of my capabilities, also, you never end learing new things in music, and, i think, life also, who knows where this path will leads me ) This is a great luck for me, but, unluck because it 's just started same time with the tournament :( Oh.... ehehe i also have a family, of course, luckly my wife is a musucian too ( she sings ) and support me.

I won't annoy you longer with things reagaring private life not concerned to the game, so, i wish you the best and might the best win! I'll check the ladder board and results from work! ehehehe that would be fun!

Hello Vdomini,

Of course I'm a bit sad that you will not be on the tournament, but thank you for taking the time to explain. I'm sure this is not easy for you since we all know how much you love this game.

On the other hand I'm very happy for your opportunity. Music is a beautiful seducer - go with it!

[MACADEMIC]

Hello all!

As you probably already know Vdomini had to withdraw his participation from the tournament. Therefore we unfortunately have to reduce the number of participants to 16 to ensure a fair and balanced tournament with an equal number of players in each group.

The four players on the first waitinglist have been moved back to the waitinglist. We want to give all of them an equal chance to qualify for the 16th position in the tournament. The most committed and strongest player will be able to participate.

The players on the waitinglist are:

1. dkwookie
2. Ratman91101
3. draux
4. JRHOODY1

Qualification Match Saturday 15/01/2011 at 2000UTC

Due to the shortage of time, we cannot wait for all players to play each other like in the group phase of the tournament. Therefore, I will host a 30 minute dogfight today Saturday 15/01/2011 at 2000UTC, in which I will fly as a referee in a bomber and retire to a corner of the action respectively fly high above as to not interfere. I will be clearly distinguishable as a bomber on the map, so don't waste your time and lives with me. Map and weather will be established randomly. Players have to chose either P-51 D5 or P-51 B. Armament as per the tournament rules, landings and bomb dropping are not allowed and lead to disqualification. The player with the least amount of deaths at the end of the 30 minute qualification match will qualify for the 16th position in the tournament. If two or more players end up with the same amount of deaths, the match will be repeated until we have a clear result.

The qualification match will take place if a minimum of 2 players show up. The others will have forfeited their chance to qualify. If only one player shows up, he will have qualified without having to play a match. If none shows up, we will pick one player out of the four according to the commitment and frequency of playing recently shown.

I'm sorry about this late change but we have to deal with the new situation in the best possible way. If you're one of the four on the waitinglist, please indicate whether or not you're planning to take part in the qualification match later today. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for your understanding.

MAC

P.S.: make sure you have me on your Friends list, if it is full make room for me. I will invite everyone I can see on PSN at the stated time to join a text chat to meet before the qualification match.

Blog:
Flight 1: Myself VS Olife
Turn and burn based in parts with mainly head on attacks at low level - I managed to win considering I hate head on's and 1v1's in general, I'm a team killer and fly much like Von Richtofen (spelling of the red baron's name?) I'm looking forward to our second dance of death with a very worthy adversairy.

Flight2: Olife Vs Myself
Very much the same as the first! Head ons and ended with a few turn and burn - crippling on the first pass and bringing him down on the turn and burn session. Great flight!

Flights 3+4: Dkwookie and Myself
Well, Dk is a good pilot, we had quite a good fur ball and ended with me winning both. Dk lost me a few times when I was on his tail though I got critical hits on him on most passes - I feel bad for defeating you like I did. Sorry!

Flights 5 and 6: Crafty Mac!
Well done to Mac, even though you insisted on using your Club Rules. I'm scared to think what you can do with an easier crate! I ended up boom and zooming him after a tense cat and mouse searching session - a devious plan to only let me get 3-0 ahead. Well flown!

Flights 8+9: Kavorland
The most tense match yet. The first match I lost and the second I won. If I hadn't made two mistakes then I would have drawn or even won both. Great T+B fighter. I ended up having to resort to BnZ tactics which worked for my second round - great flight!

[draux]

Bummer! I won't be available until a few hours after that (not entirely sure when work will wrap up for the day). I'll just cross my fingers that the others might be a few hours late too. If something changes I'll just be online and waiting but i dont see me making it on that short of notice. :(

All right, I can't promise but will see who shows up at the announced time. I would ask them to postpone for a little while, it would help if you could say a definite time when you can be on.

Hello all,

The qualification match was played today from 2025UTC between RATMAN91101, draux36 and dkwookie. Map and weather were established randomly (Britain Kent, weather good).

A big thank you for all to come and play for the qualification on such short notice. I'm really sorry this has become necessary. Also, JRHOODY1, I'm very sorry you probably didn't know about it. Please don't let this stop your enthusiasm for the game - we'll have other events in the future. Same goes for the ones who fought bravely but didn't qualify today.

I'm posting the results below. draux36 has qualified.

Cheers guys, great match. I ended up in a turning battle with draux that seemed to last 3 minutes! It was treetop level and I realised I was getting closer and closer to a hillside but we kept on each other.
Thanks for organising this mac, pleasure to take part and good luck to everyone. Looking forward to seeing the results get posted

[McQ59]

Okay dk. Would've been the ultimate to meet u in the skies later on. Would have been a great show. You know.

That was one of the more intense turning fights I've been. I turned out of it though when it occurred to me that it would take another 10 minutes for one of us to pull a lead on the other one and it seemed like you were the one gaining ground.

A seriously good match. We must play again sometime wookie.

Dear all!

'After some discussions Edal and I decided to honor the great commitment shown by ALL who were on the waitinglist and allow ALL of them to participate in the tournament. We found a good way to make the groups still very fair and even.'

We're very happy we found a way to allow all to participate, while keeping the groups and rules fair and balanced. RATMAN91101, dkwookie, JRHOODY1, I'm pleased to inform you that you are in!

There will be three groups in the A) tournament:

Group A1): 6 players
Group A2): 6 players
Group A3): 7 players

The best 3 of group A3) will directly qualify for the Quarterfinals (best of 8 ). From groups A1) and A2), the best 2 of each will directly qualify. The remaining Quarterfinalist will be determined by an elimination match between the 3rd of groups A1) and A2).

In the groups of 6 each player will have 5 opponents and play 10 matches total (excluding a possible elimination match for QF). In group A3) each player will face 6 opponents and play 12 matches total.

The groups will be determined by randomizing the list of participants. This will be done by utilising the following pubic internet application:

http://www.random.org/lists/

The resulting list contains a timestamp in UTC to verify authenticity.

I will randomize the list today at precisely 1700UTC.

The resulting randomized list will be final and not changed. Further, I will take and publish a screenshot of the resulting list as soon as possible.

The groups will be made up like this:

Randomized list positions 1-6: Group A1)
Randomized list positions 7-12: Group A2)
Randomized list positions 13-19: Group A3)

Everybody is invited to be online at the forum at 1700UTC to receive the news first and discuss the outcome!

Good luck to us all!

Hey Mage, 10 matches total per player in the groups of 6, 12 matches total per player in the group of 7, that's in the group phase. Don't worry, we'll give plenty of time to all to complete their matches, not just one week.

And yes, I'll be online...looking forward!

My Net Speed is Nat 2, Standard bandwidth, 5 Meg down with 500k up per sec.

My available times(GMT-4) Mon Jan 17, 18:15-21:30; Tue Jan 18, 19:00-21:30, Wed Jan 19, 19:00-21:30, Thurs Jan 20, 19:00-21:30; Fri Jan 21, Unavailable; Sat Jan 22, TBA.

I throw the gauntlet down to Sir Mac, I want to challenge him as my first combatant.

Please message me with your preferred time, & I will post my projected schedule to fly with each group member.

Catch me if you can....I'm the Gingerbread Man!

Played my first 2 matches with Sir Mac of Malta on Opening nite Monday Jan 17 .
In pregame chat Mac indicated he would fly by his very strick club rules and I would use my new Thrustmaster stick . It did not go so well for me Mac skunked me both sorties .
Although towards end of last match I was starting to get more comfortable with new controls . Mac came away with 7 kills although 2 were do pilot error. One of his kills was a thing of beauty a 1 sec burst that had my Stang an instant fireball. one other had my elevators destroyed and locked in nose down I ejected from A/C . Mac is the most disciplned Virtual Ace his club rules flying allthough a handicap will have you in real trouble if your in his sights he is deadly accurate. :!:

The Joystick vs Ps3 Controller my thoughts

Stick allows for very fine slow speed control Triming causes the aircraft to allmost squat it seems once trimed I noticed the view from cockpit changed like I was sitting lower in my seat ( strange ) . 2 Problems with stick one being that POV hat sems to only be digital so no true panning of view second
allthough very percise in throttle control there seems to be some lag reacts like a jet slower to spool . Pad has no engine lag and analog pov with stick.

Have next match tonite Fri Jan 21 2000 GMT versus Stapler .

[P-51]

Right, I have tomorrow (Monday 17th) afternoon off so if your free from about 1400h then I can have a game! Any takers? (GMT)

I'd like to get some battles out of the way!

[McQ59]

Yeah, I better hand my azz in there fast myself...
I'm on tomorrow night from about 19:00.
Feel free chaps.

[MACADEMIC]

Everybody:

1.) Hold your guns and horses until Edal publishes the official match schedule!

Due to the last minute changes, and other circumstances, the schedule is not quite ready yet and still has to be finalized. No tournament matches shall be played before the schedule has been published!

2.) Please use your 'homepages' (the messages you posted and which are linked to your name in the player's list) as your message boards to announce your availability etc. You can easily edit them by clicking on your name in the first post, which will take you right to your 'homepage'. Would be also nice if you would use these homepages as your tournament 'Blog', to describe some matches, keep public notes, whatever you like. Will be nice to read up on for everyone later on!

3.) Those who have not made 'homepages' (simply by replying on the thread with some essential data about themselves), please do so as soon as possible.

4.) We had to delay the presentation of the Tournament Trophies until tomorrow. But it's okay to present them on Inauguration Day, so you all can keep an eye on what you're fighting for (figure medieval jousting). And, the trophies might look a bit familar...

Thank's all!

WAR JOURNAL

21/1/1944
JOED70
Had a dogfight with a Canadian ace tonight, goes by the name of JOED70. I won my first round, even managed to successfully ram my opponent! He mentioned over the radio that he had trouble with his controls, but he still put up a good fight. He forfeited the second match, and lived to fight another day, but not before we had a game of 'chicken' and both lost!

Ace Tip: Watch your throttle if you're on this guys tail. I almost overshot a couple of times...

22/1/1944
dkwookie
The lads back at base won't let me live this one down... Lost 3-8 to a pilot who claimed to have trouble flying the mustang. Schoolboy errors all over the place. Forfeited my second match 0-4. I guess it just wasn't my day. I'm getting worried I might not survive this war: If this is a pilot who has trouble flying, what will the true aces be like?

Ace Tip: Don't underestimate your opponent. What they think is bad flying could be your idea of good flying...

28/1/1944
MACADEMIC
HQ assigned me to engage one of the true aces I'd been regretting going up against. Two close engagements ensued, with 'MAC' clinching both wins, but not without having to fight for them! Theres rumours going around the base of a new enemy superweapon: a network of underground magnets designed to lure inexperienced allied pilots (usually myself) to a hard landing!

Ace Tip: Make sure you get the first hit. This guy can fly a damaged plane better than a lot of guys fly normally, and he's deadly if you don't take him out quickly.

30/1/1944
Olife
Y'know those days when your plane just seems to be in a bad mood? I just had one. I accepted defeat in both rounds, no point in wasting valuable aircraft. My opponent was gracious in victory, I just wish my bird didn't stall so much. As soon as I landed, I asked the squadron CO if I could return to flying my trusty old hurricane. He said that would be against regulations... I guess I'm stuck in the 'stang for now.

Ace Tip: This pilot flies in true French style: VERY fast, and VERY low. Keep your eyes peeled, as he's tough to spot from a distance.

12/2/1944
reaper1526
Recieved yet another kicking today. Even mixing things up in the P-51B didn't save me. Started clawing things back at the end of the two matches, but it was too little, too late. I've been in the hangar withe the ground crew, keeping my old hurricane in flying condition. Something tells me I aint getting to the end of this operation.

Ace Tip: After a head on pass, this guy usually goes vertical. Position yourself accordingly.

13/2/1944
kavorland
Finally broke my losing streak today. Scraping the tiles off Sicilian houses, I tried to stay as difficult to spot as possible. Ran out of ammo on one engagement, tried to ram my opponent but hit the ground. Next match was back in England. After staying even stevens for 3 kills each (with some reversals thrown in), kav took me out and went upstairs, leaving me charging around the countryside, desperate to even the scores. Two very well balanced matches in the P-51B.

Ace Tip: My flying style is similar to kavs, so I'll need to keep you guys in the dark this time!

Epilogue
Well, I got word from HQ today that I'm being transferred back to my old unit. I'll still be in the skies, but I doubt I'll ever use the mustang again! Any prospective aces looking for some easy kills can challenge me to a duel, and I'll oblige them if I'm not busy.
This is The_Stapler, signing off.

[MACADEMIC]

Hello everybody!

Please send ALL your match results to Edal86 ONLY. Please DO NOT forward or doublesend to me, as I will not review or forward any of your results.

Edal86 needs to receive the results, he is keeping track of matches and scores.

Thanks!

MAC

P.S: It is recommended that both winner and loser take a screenshot of the results in case there is a problem on the winner's side.

[MACADEMIC]

Dear all,

In case of repeated connectivity issues between two players (interrupted and repeated games without success), feel free to ask for a referee match. This does not necessarily mean that the players don't trust each other, it might become necessary purely for technical reasons.

Thanks.

MAC

[edal86]

So far so good,

There is a good amount of activity out there and I wanted to thank you all for this. As of now I have only received 5 screenshots (5 matches), all from tournament A. I will check my PSN again at around 1am Wednesday the 18th. If I dont have everything that I have promised to post by this thursday I will fire myself lol.

I will include: Group standings and Match Results. I will also include some fun little player stats like: Top Ace, The Untouchable, The Conquerer, The Skillful. Also some Tournament stats including: Favorite Mustang, Deadliest Mustang, Bulletproof, Most Efficient, and Victory Rolls. It does not end there, but that is a little surprise addition for the second part of this tournament :)

*** In order to make the stats possible it is very important for you to send me the following with your attached screenshot message:

1. Tournament A or B

2. Host name (who selects the settings not who has better internet connection and sets the game lobby) vs challenger

3. planes used

4. screenshot

[P-51]

Hello everybody!

Please send ALL your match results to Edal86 ONLY. Please DO NOT forward or doublesend to me, as I will not review or forward any of your results.

Will I need to send the screens from last night on to edal then? Or have you already done so? :)

[MACADEMIC]

Will I need to send the screens from last night on to edal then? Or have you already done so? :)

Again: I will neither review nor forward any match results being sent to me. The players are responsible for sending the results to Edal86. Any results he doesn't receive = match result doesn't count!

Sorry if I can't be more helpful here, but we need to keep this clear as to not end up in a big confusion!

MAC

P.S.: Please do feel free to ask either of us in case of questions or to report a problem.

[P-51]

Again: I will neither review nor forward any match results being sent to me. The players are responsible for sending the results to Edal86. Any results he doesn't receive = match result doesn't count!


Ok, thanks for that; just clarifying so I didn't confuse Edal with the same screen twice!! :D

[MACADEMIC]

Dear all,

Please know and adhere to the rules about respawning, as this is very important:

* When an aircraft respawns, neither of the opponents shall engage before they have established a distance from each other where the opponent's red dot becomes/is invisible.
* After respawning, for as long as the red dot is visible on the map, opponents must fly away from each other until the red dot disappears.
* Once the red dot disappears, both are free to maneuver as they wish.
* Respawn Time shall be set to 5 Seconds.

If a player violates this rule and so gains an unfair advantage, the other player should communicate the violation to his opponent as soon as possible (e.g. via chat) to agree on how to best resolve the matter. For example, the game could be replayed, or while in game, the other player may give up one of his lives by bailing out to undo the advantage he has gained, etc. If no agreement can be found, the match should be discontinued and the organizers contacted for dispute resolution, e.g. referee match.

MAC

[MACADEMIC]

Dear all,

Some of you have already started writing blogs, notes or war diaries on their 'homepages'. Thanks for sharing, some are really interesting and amusing to read. I'd encourage everybody to share as well, these personal observations and insights give a lot of life to our tournament.

MAC

[MACADEMIC]

Sorry if this is off topic, but I cannot stop myself from quoting Anton Yudintsev's (CEO Gaijin, our main sponsor) yesterday statement on Yuplay:

First of all, I want to apologize for being silent for too long. We were busy with Apache, and, most important, we didn't want to tell community anything uncertain.

Although this is not announce, we would like to say that we are working on sequel of the game (new flight sim in World War II era).
We will incorporate mostly anticipated features, and take into consideration feedback from community about Wings of Prey - and, of course, we'll make a lot of new ideas.
Any official information, screenshots, demo-versions, etc will be released after official announce of the game - which, as we hope, should happen rather soon.
We have learned our lessons from working with other publishers, and this time we'll make sure that we'll be able to support community after release of the game - with DLCs or updates on all platforms.
Although we are going to release update for Wings of Prey, we also will support our loyal customers, and so we'll make a good bonus for them in upcoming sequel.

Stay tuned!

:)

[MACADEMIC]

Guys i am unsure about when we should be playing our matches. Can we just play them when ad hoc or is there a set time and date?

dkwookie,

Please refer to post #4 (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpost.php?p=207084&postcount=4) of this thread. There you have your Group, the matches you should play and who to play against, and also the time you have to complete these matches. The way it works is that the players contact each other to arrange a time that suits them. This could be done via a Private Message here on the forum, or a message via the PSN network.

You then play your matches within the given timeframe, and send the results to Edal86 (refer to the Rules for details).

Good luck with your matches!

MAC

[edal86]

Keep those results coming guys, thanks for sending all the information required.

Mage_016,

the weekend is fine or whenever we are both online.

[P-51]

Hey guys,
Had a few group matches last night and had great fun!

Though to the tournament. I have loads of time over the weekend!

@Olife: Do you still want a match with a different hoast?

[edal86]

Sorry again guys,

I know I have been promising the a complete work of the statistics and I have not yet delivered. I made a quick rough draft of the current, up to date, leaderboards so that you can at least know what is going on with the Tournament.

Slowly but surely I am catching up though and once I have it all ready then I can easily just make adjustments to keep scores updated perhaps daily.

if it is possible Mac, if there is a neutral in these matches .......... host or referee ............ to snap some screen shots, only if its possible, it would be fantastic if anyone could :)

I'm afraid that's not gonna be possible, it would be too likely to disturb the players if you're anywhere near enough to take a screenshot of the action.

I have updated the leaderboards (only). Again, this is only to give you an idea of what is going on with the tournament.

The_Stapler,
* Sorry, your points have not been updated because I have not received the information on what planes were used for your matches.

** PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR CORRECT HOME MAPS!!**
** PLEASE INCLUDE THE PLANES USED ALONG WITH YOUR SCREENSHOT**

*** I have not obtained any match results from Tommykocher, wakespeak, nor dkwookie ***

*** Also, no results from Tournament B matches ***

Interesting note: this thread has had over 7,000 views in less than a month yet so little participant activity with posts, I wonder who else is peeking :)

Also, someone really wants that blue nose P-51 (119 views) hehe

Hi guys sorry not been online. I will be on tonight and tomorrow so will do matches with anyone who is online.

I can't get to grips with the 51 in sim so have resigned myself to a thrashing from all in my group and an early bath. Wish we could use Spitfires :-)

[The_Stapler]

Edal86- P51 D5s were used by both players in both rounds.

dkwookie- I'll probably be available after 9pm tonight, if you want to play our matches then.
