Thanks.. I really struggle without padlock and wondered why it's not included as a Sim option.


The reason I would like it in is that if it's a simulation then it should simulate the pilot as well.. By that I mean that there should be a way to padlock onto a target that is visable through the canopy. Once your eyes have locked onto a target it should stay locked on unless it wouldn't be visable in real life (underneath or behind etc). Then you have to look around to re-aquire. This would behave more realistically because it's the way the human eye works. But, I can't think of a way that it would work other than on a timer (so if you look in the direction of a target for more than 10 seconds it locks on) to me that would make more sense than having to worry about 'controlling' your eyes and trying to fly a plane.

Well I can see I have hit few nerves by posting. I shall ignore some of the childish remarks and answer some of the more salient points.

Yes I do believe I have mastered arcade mode, which is evident to the people I have been playing. Many of them are not infact new players, they are old hands I have been playing against for a while. There has been an upsurge in recent weeks of people actually playing BoP on 360. In order to try and improve this somewhat I had an idea.

The intention of my post was to perk more interest in playing. You see as soon as someone makes a post such as mines, many people will them seek out that person online to play against them. This means that other players may come back to "show me up" as it were. Its inviting a challenge, a point that a number of you failed to realise. If some players see my post and then think "im going to take that bugger down a peg or two", then it means that there will be more people online playing.

As a few of the older members will remember I have in the past given a number of tips and pieces of advice to improve a players ability to play when faced with certain difficulties (such as taking out an IL on RL/Sim easily). I do play realistic on the odd occasion but as I have said before I dont have a flight stick so the subtle movements required for RL/Sim are extremely tricky for me with a pad due to a number of factors.

So, with any luck when I try and find a game online in the next few days I should see one or two of you peeps out there intending to give me a beating at BoP. The final part of my previous post was paying homage to the ones I play against and that beat me, and issuing a challenge to the ones that haven't.

I hope that about covers it.

Interesting approach. You're still a tool.

There are other ways...
F.i. the guys who are trying to organize tournaments...
Or maybe we should start an XBOX league...
Where people register to a website, then can organize their matches...
With some leaderboard etc...

If you want to play, please add GT: LGorrit.
