Please Hurry the 360 patch!

BeaverCompany01 · #1 12-17-2009, 05:13 AM

I am very often setting up a Sim room on the 360 and waiting up to an hour for a single person to join.

Please speed up the patch.

I'm tired of MW2 already and I just hope that the patch will pump some much needed interest back into this game.

Strange that you cannot get a session or others to join as there are quite a few Sim players on your side of the Atlantic. What time are you signing on? Brickster1 has Ranked SIM sessions every day and evening with regulars joining in.

Can someone who's registered on the yuplay forums try asking direct there if they have any news? I've not seen Anton on this board for a since it dropped on ps3

We just have to play the waiting game guys. Possibly new year? best thing to do is just play with friends in the mean time, this way you know you'll get a good game. We need some more video's on here of IL2 on the 360 or OVER-G just to wet our appetite and boost morale.

Ill play with you tonight on sim beaver, I am wanting to play more of this mode. My issue besides the obvious use of the virtual cockpit(wish u could lock a game to realistic cockpit only), is people dont seem to communicate much...I get nervous when in sim that someone is always on my tail so I tend to fly low and circle a lot, it would help to have a good wingman and you seem to know the ropes well enough beaver, we could fly together 2night. I told myself I wouldnt pick up IL2 again till they patch it but I am also bored of MW2 a little, they need new maps in that game already...campers. However, I just bought a new 32inch lcd flatscreen tv so no more bitching about cant see the enemy, and I miss the game. I just fly the planes that arent broken (Il2, 153, spitfires, the yak, and La series). Please release out patch soon...I want my P-47, P-51, and B-17.

Don't know how much more crashed kills I can take. Its not good. I get more and more angry. Playing tonight I got maybe only 3 kills in total and I'd guess about 25 crashed kills. WTH!!!!! how can a multiplayer game be so broken. I need this patch TOMORROW!

Don't know why but the last week or so it seems to be about 10 times worse. Makes me wonder, I think my connection is lagging at the moment. Do these crashed kills occur when the plane getting hit doesn't know it's getting damaged (like when you can feel you obviously have damage but the damage icon doesn't show up). because the bullets that are hitting for the attacker are flying past way behind for the other?

I know that my connection improved recently (new router) and my kills seamed to count more often.........

If you guys are playing Ranked then that might explain it. I have been hosting player rooms.

I probably wont be back on till Sat. now...... xmas stuff.

At the moment I fly in the larger arcade and realistic games.

The problems with the current simulator modes are:

Players cannot use authentic aerobatics to evade and attack.... unless they want their planes to freak out, spin and crash. (Which is basically what most people do).

Players using X-Box controllers are unable to look around very well so folks with joysticks have a huge advantage over their "blinkered" non-joystick players.

Certain aircraft do not have authentic performance or maneuverability.

Lack of cockpit views makes sideways relative side views of targets a problem.

Basically, where I'm one of the top aces on arcade and realistic, having evasive maneuvers honed to an artform, in simulator I have the choice between attempting to pull a classic aerobatic evade and having the aircraft crash or just do barrel rolls / turn in circles, which are the only two things that are possible in simulator mode.

I also have the choice of viewing my attacker but loosing the use of my rudder to do so, or flying blinkered and guessing how my assailant is doing keeping up.

The D-pad look back only gives a limited fixed view behind, so if the assainlant goe out of frame then there's a problem.

It is interesting that folks who are good in arcade and realistic suck in simulator and vice versa.

I've noticed that simulator players find it hard to cope with the complex aerobatics of well timed twists and turns of arcade mode, though realistic tends to have players pull rather looser and shakeir versions of the precision aerobatics in arcade mode.

I do play simulator mode when I'm bored and there is no arcade or realistic games going. I might even manage to shoot someone down before I'm shot down myself.... if I'm lucky.

I'll either fly an Fw-190 A5 because I find the quick response good for instant freak out recovery, plus the Mg.151 cannons sound cool, or I'll endure the total lack of armour, firepower and structural integrety of Soviet fighters as a trade off for more flight stability.

I kind of predict that the Fw-190 will be the fighter of choice, once the patch arrives. A few of us do well already, in all the modes, with the Fw-190, having already figured how to exploit what advantages it has.

The biggest problem I have with Arcade is that planes can be flying at Mach 2 or 80 kts, and you don't know which until you're close, and then it might be too late.
