Superb nights flying last night thanks guys
 

Just a shout out to the guys i was flying with last night on free flight for a few hours, to name a few - draux, pope, tomcat, subaru, jacked??, and the rest of you :D

formation flying was superb and the huge 8 player spitfire scramble we did from manston looked superb. I had more fun doing the free flying last night with you all flying my hurricane (most of the time lol) than i've had on BoP for a long time. The video's look incredible to, Thanks for that draux.

Hope we can do it again sometime soon, Hopefully without all the purpose crashes and "my WEP is black i'll have to bail out and come in to land again" crap that we had haha.

Also - The last formation we did, the two B17'S, P47 and P51 that was some great flying guys, taking off together and then buzzing tomcat on the airfield was incredible. Really enjoyed it.


Thanks again.

lol "Jacked", I'm gonna call him that too now we know it gets on his nerves.

Anyway, I'm really glad you've regained your enjoyment of this game, Foz. I too am enjoying this new found side of playing BoP. Breaking up the combat with some formation flying also makes me enjoy the combat side more too. 100% combat all the time gets a bit boring for me. Thanks Draux ;)

Haha yeah he doesnt seem to like "jacked" does he :P


I enjoy the free flying because its more relaxed yet at the same time its intense because you have to really concentrate when trying to form up on someone. Then you have the landings.... more intense when you know everyone is watching and you dont want to screw it up haha

The good thing about the free flying we were doing was you dont have to have the patch for it. Its not combat etc so kills/deaths are not important, and the P51 isnt to bad to fly when just free flying :D

Hope we can get it done again soon.

The patch would sure make landing with the Aviator stick more feasable though.

Yeah I had a lot of fun too even though 90% of the time it was cluster f*ck. Definitely paid off when everything came together though. Anytime you guys want to do it again let me know.

Excellent vids draux, wet my appetite again :D Im just online with pope now, he's in a dogfight and im just free flying on my lonesome, Perhaps tonight if we can get a few players together?

Prior to each game session though we can establish what we want to do or what the general plan is?

really nice vids! i really liked the take off. thats how all the multiplayer matches should start. everyone taking off together :)

Nice videos. Maybe the next couple you could try some Axis fighters/bombers etc.? Seeing how the videos are 3rd person view, you should have no trouble with the 109s and 190s etc. ;)

Wow good job guys, That was spectacular. Us PS3 guys should do something like this.

Bravo :grin:

One more to add. I probably saw just about every way possible to crash in the game from all the free flight over the weekend and thought I put some of the better ones together.

Dedicated to Jacked "Crash" War D'Morri.

Hahaha excellent! music score was great to. I was watching them and was "hey i remember this one" haha. Or "ouch"

Some superb crashes on their Draux, great stuff. You online tonight?

Glad you liked the score. It was either that or "Its raining men". Lol. Okay not really but it would have been funny too.

And yeah I'll probably be on tonight after the kids go to bed.

Haha im not so sure "its raining men" would of suited us :P

Im just online now in a free flight over dover (mansto/hawkinge/lympne) with jack, teaching him how to land/taxi/take off with just his joystick. Gets him to stop changing mid flight. He's getting their :D

Trying to get him to understand the importance of radio silnce to, listening to only the ATC. Seems to being going well so far. Maybe you could teach him some more later?

Hopefully catch you online then.

i was probably in about half of this video lol i always crash in funny ways XD

Yeah i had noticed :P haha. Im only in one. And thats where we were all flying the spit...funnily enough it was you that crashed into me after that roll thing while on jacks wing haha

Yeah me too, why is it there are lots of us two crashing into eachother? lol.

Its cool to watch some of your crashes from another angle, although something was a bit odd about that crash were my Blenheim plows into Tomcats Spitfire, I remember that crash, and for me it was one of those were you suddenly explode and dont know how. I was going the same speed, lol no way did I do that. Haha put that one down to lag I think ;)

Lag in an IL-2 match? no way...

prolly doest help that im streaming either. Although I usually dont get it this bad.

I tried to join up with you guys last week, but when I joined, you were all really tired and everyone left to get some sleep. I use an Av8r exclusivly now so I mostly play sim, but if you guys are practicing using sticks in realistic I could use a little also. You guys seem to have fun, I can try again 2day after work but I get off at 3:00pm and its only 10:00am right now...What is the time difference with you guys? Im in Hawaii.

Hi mate, sorry you missed us (if i was on), were online most nights. Just send someone a message and im sure they will get you in :D

lol im mad i missed that, i left after flying my 3 engined B-17 XD

yup thats me and grayfox in that clip :( like something out of the twilight zone. Shame because everything upto the landing was superb.

Man I really wish I could hook up with some of you guys, the stuff you are doing sounds like a blast, but I'm GMT-5 :(

For the record I saw the most folks on XBL playing this last night that I ever have. I personally participated in several 10+ player games.

Its superb phlux, great fun and really challenging to. Makes for some great games. Most of the others are GMT-7 give or take. At the time they play im usually the only brit. Unless i play earlier with some of the brits that are on.
