The best way to deal with how the leaderboards work is to try and not think about them. They appear to make no sense whatsoever.

I'm pretty good at arcade and was floating around the top 20 for a while. I played 2 games where I was the highest scoring pilot on the losing side and I dropped from 5th to 150th. I now couldn't tell you where I am because I don't care. It's a mystery!

Default Sim Cockpit View Option

Hello Anton,

I'm coming across a lot of sim players who love to fly in cockpit view, so we arrange matches in cockpit view only via messages or headsets. This of course goes by gentlemen's agreement only.

It would be great to have the option to host a game which only allows planes with cockpit view and excludes virtual cockpits.

That would be a fantastic add on, especially for tournaments under such rules.

Thank you. Keep the good work up!

P.S: I started a poll to support this request: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=11745

This is a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but when you're in cockpit view, depending on where the sun is, sometimes when you look at your wing you can see the shadow of the cockpit, and where it ends. It really kills the illusion that you're actually flying an aircraft. I'd suggest making the cockpit models longer so that the shadows give the correct shape.

I just bought this game, its cool, just kinda sad that it is very underrated with the general mass of people who never look at these games.. Would love to see populated online play *i have ps3*. Like online servers instead of always joining a "host" game.

And when in 3rd person view, alot of things going on at the same time, i notice a frame rate drop can get a lil choppy, perhaps some better optimizing if its possible. Would turning music off free up a lil more power from the system? I suppose its at the limits of the console.

Otherwise cool game. I had to call around to find it and the gamestop that had it only had one copy *If anyone whos been to Gamestop knows, they will open one copy for display purposes, and sell that copy to you as new. Perhaps a more attention grabbing box art would have got more people interested in it. I know alot of people talk about those "other" console flight games cuz they got prettier boxart.

what would be nice is be able to turn down teh transparancy of the on-screen indicators, sometimes its hard to make out the direction of the plan because the target indicator around it is soo bright.

if you play in sim mode at all, add AR_Kozz

To find a copy of IL-2 I had to go to 3 stores including Blockbuster, none of them had it, then I went to Game Crazy (Hollywood video) and they had one copy, the dude working there had never heard of it.

It's all the fault of graphics and shooters. It was the same when I was a kid playing games on Commodore 64, all anyone talks about is graphics, graphics, graphics. People will buy all kinds of garbage as long as it has Graphics. Like Killzone 2, it's just a shooter but it has GRAPHICS! It's the 2,000th sequel to Quake with new maps, weapons and graphics.

So is Call of Doo-doo, I'll probably be called a heretic for saying so. Hey, wait, Heretic was another one - a mod of Doom with a new theme, maps, missions and graphics.
