Fair enough about the preferred plane Riceball, must be disappointing if there is a specific plane you must have, but a lot of fun can still be had in Strike and CA using alternatives (or creating matches for a set period i.e 1941). A lot of us counter the lobby system by using the Party Option so that 'friends' can join without searching. At least they get the 'coms' about state of play and when the next session is about to start instead of 'Server Not Available'. I don't mind waiting and get to chat to the others.......eager anticipation is worth the wait!

Simple ?
 

There is a surefire way to stop things like this in the future.Never buy a game from these developers again.I for one will never buy anything with a 505 or C1 label again and Yplay is gone from any game selections.Ok I may have a name wrong on a developer or may have some fact wrong here so I`m sure Ill be chastised for this post.Said simply if I see any logos from this game on any other game I will not buy it "it is a do not trust this game situation"thats how I will show my displeasure.Now anyone that is ready to deflect the argument away from the subject and run from the facts can now run down my grammar .

Just curious Gunny so just two questions! Have you stopped playing the game full stop or just MP? Riceball is disappointed with a particular plane and the lobby system but what aspects have made the game unplayable for you in particular (or is it the delay in the patch release)?

I offer my 2 cents worth. I feel bad for you 360 guys. Really. Yeah, the game is great and all that stuff, but I quit playing it for 2 weeks because of the controller issues. I was bored and sick of arcade and I wanted to move into sim, but I also wanted the dead zone fixed and customization before I blew any money on a stick. So I waited. I see clearly your problem and, if I owned a 360, I'd be pissed too. I'm wondering where the hell it is myself. I think it is because the game is not a big money maker and it gets put on the back burner to those games that are. Just be patient and try not to worry about it. That's all you can do. That's all I have to say about this. Except, GO COWBOYS!!!

Could it be because Microsoft being is an American-bred company and the xbox is the their console? Conspiracy I tell you, its the KGB, I know they are behind this patch BS! Makarov and his terrorists from MW2 maybe hijacked the patch then, who knows...For sure I will wait for a decent review from any game I am looking to buy with any of the companies assosiated with this endangered dodo bird of a game on the box. Hahaha, but for real, wheres the customer service department around here? Is customer satisfaction a viable business tactic for maintaining your consumer base and to create trust in a particular brand name? Anyone? Its not a trick question...

Kinda everything
 

I stopped playing due to the fact that there are a number of small problems with the game from the online scoring to the p-51.But mainly I stopped playing due to the fact that there are so few people to play with.I feel that the lack of a timely
update to fix the problems has driven the players away.The offline portion of this game took me less than a week to finish on sim.EVERY AIRCRAFT and EVERY MISSION,even the SINGLE MISSIONS in less than a week so without online players the game just got boring .

Gunny, sign on bud! I have played virtually every night since the game came out and there are people playing regularly in all levels. As for the scoring? This evens out because every one experiences the same problem and we all accept that as being reasonably fair. Give it a go.............

...Heres a trick question though, wait wait wait...Is there anyone on 360 who has won a single capture the airfields game using a flightstick on simulator, while flying the P-51D loaded out with bombs?...Waaaahahaha! This game doesnt need a patch, by whatever do you mean? Lol

Sure Robotic Pope has won CA on SIM with a P51-D but uses a game PAD. In fact he gets high scores regularly in Dogfights and TB's with his P51-D and seems to have sussed how to get the most out of it without a patch. He's a good flyer and seems at one with any plane - patch or no patch! (Don't you just wanna hate him..........:grin:......only kidding RB...you're a top guy!)

You missed one condition...with the bombs loadout using a stick on sim...It is impossible, someone tell me I am wrong. No brakes? 50 Rocket kills? Overloaded fuel? Lol.
