I even can't play on sim mode using a pad, only Pope can but here's the trick: he is the closest person to God so he get all his holy help

I only played them until about 11pm. I work at 5AM, and by the time you guys are all online its just far to late for me. I did join you the other night, but it sounded a bit to rowdy so i promptly left haha.

Please, if you wish to join then add your psn/gamertag along with your post, dont just type "I would like to join", thank you.

We will be using the YAK and its variants. Poll time is over.

Please begin figuring out teams.

Keep joining the tournament, this tournament wont last long so it wont really require much of your time, a max of 3 back to back 20 minute matches (in case that you make it to the final or 3rd place match) spread throughout 3-4 weeks

Oooh Yak's

Well, who on the PS3 side wants me as a teammate?

To All,

Now that we know that the YAK will be this tournament's bird, I would like to introduce another rule (this will also be updated to the rules on the first post).

The Team that is playing on a HOME MAP (the host team) will not only have the advantage of flying on their favorite map and favorite side of the map, but also they will be able to have first pick on what variant of the YAK they will fly. Both (home map) players must fly the same type of YAK. The VISITOR TEAM (away team) will then have to fly any of the other 2 YAKs (visitor team has the option of flying the same type of YAK or a combination of the 2 YAKs that the Home Team did not choose).


Example:
Host (home) team= player X1 & player X2
Away (visitor) team = player Y1 & player Y2

Host team's MAP = Dover (favorite side = B)
Host team's YAK = YAK-3

Pre-Game Launch (lobby) should look like this:

MAP: Dover
(Side A) (4 possibilites)
1. player Y1 (YAK-1), player Y2 (YAK-1)
2. player Y1 (YAK-9), player Y2 (YAK-9)
3. player Y1 (YAK-1), player Y2 (YAK-9)
4. player Y1 (YAK-9), player Y2 (YAK-1)
(Side B) (1 possibility)
1. player X1 (YAK-3), player X2 (YAK-3)

(REMEMBER ALL TEAMS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY AS HOST (HOME TEAM) ONCE PER RIVAL)

Sorry for long explanation I want it to be clear

Cool Edal. Kav and I make a squad. We'll get back to you with the intel on home-map and flight-lead.

I can easily do without the d pad view bucket, especialy in the yaks with their great rear view. As this is cockpit only that is what i'd be doing. But I know I can't fight without knowing the position of my throttle. I always have to keep an eye on the throttle percentage in the hud also because while looking around you can inadvertantly shut the throttle especialy when looking backwards because for an instant you weren't pushing down hard enough on the stick button. Also the engine note does not change with the throttle so you cannot rely on that either.
