i'll come on after this episode of American Dad has finished, although I'm gonna' suck because I've moved 3 tons of soil in 2 days I'm beat.

did u guys know that if u use d pad u could look around for enemy???

I did not. But do now. I will try that, because that was my biggest complaint, was trying to look around and fly at the same time.

I have been in some heated strike, and airfield battles, but want to also do some sim stuff too... I been flying allot in cockpit view to help get that sensation of the real thing some. I think that will help my transition a little..

Are most people using cockpit view? Its my favorite view (makes it so much more real) but I recently tried out the virtual cockpit and WOW that makes it a lot easier! So simple to lead somebody correctly as there is no airplane nose / wings / dash in the way. Makes figuring out a lead a snap, quick burst, note the relation, adjust and cut loose. They can't go under you to lose you either, I can see through the 'floor'! ;)

Now I'm torn, I do much better in virtual (also no canopy damage, oil to block the view, very easy!) but like the real cockpit for realism. Wish they had a 'lock to cockpit' view like GRID can force you to be in the car!

The day we all played i moved 8 ton of cork in one day...by hand :p no excuse mr excuseyman :P

I honestly would HATE no respawns.


I just want to fly and take people down. If I get downed and have to wait I would get so bored. I can't stand Couner-strike, for example, for that very reason. I go in there, someone on the other team is awesome and kills me before I do anything, I wait for the round to end. Constantly waiting. Not fun.
