Main reason for disallowing HUD on the PS3 was that with the update they've introduced planes at a large distance showing as fat black dots in the sky, which would change into the rendered airplanes at a certain distance. So it's kind of a visiblity enhancer. Second reason for disallowing it was to get people to learn and read the cockpit instruments.

Not sure about the first point on the X360 though.

Must withdraw from tourney
 

Regret to withdraw from this tourney. I was unable to secure a wingman. I have not been able to consistently get on the forum to keep up. My main avenue for contact was at work and they have installed so many Baracuda blockers it is impossible. Best of luck to you all. If you see me on and need practice, will be happy to engage on your maps using tourney rules. Warmest WalterNowotny

Ahh so minimal removes the info in the top left corner, disabled removes the black far distance plane dots aswell? Its a shame there isn't an option to disable them indepentantly, I could easily do without the dots, and the great big sodding score display.:mad:

Update!!!!!
 

Teams Complete :)
Some still need to name their team and provide their HOME MAP info, so this is what is going to happen.

1. For the nameless teams, please provide it when you report your results, I will then update your info. I will give you temporary names so please check to see in what group you end up in and vs what team you will play this first week.

2. For HOME MAP, I will check your results, which ever MAP you fly on for your HOME MATCH I will automatically assign that MAP for your team for the rest of the Tournament.
