Hey Pope, try joining a server that doesn't have a lot of players in it to get a chance at flying. There's hundreds (thousands?) of servers usually available and you'll find as you scroll down the list you can find some halfway empty ones.

Thanks. I never would have thought to do this. I really need to get more time in for the upgrades.

I use the alternate button layout with the default sticks. I've never been able to pitch/roll with my left thumb, it just feels unnatural. I prefer the choppers over the jets and the new chopper controls feel much better than Bad Company 2.

Thanks Rich, thats a great tip. I will try that.

I have noticed one really stupid control design flaw and oversight which does rather hamper my performance. Who was the nutbar that decided to put the freelook on the pitch and roll stick without any way to redesignate it. Even more dumb, if you use southpaw stick setting (aka Ace Combat, Birds of Prey, and pretty much every other flying game's default stick layout, so thats a large amount of people) you need two left thumbs!! one to press the d-pad down to shift the left stick to freelook and another to use the left stick.

So not only can you not look around while maneuvering (a key flying skill), but If you want to look around at all you have to contort your left hand or take your right hand off the right side of the pad and use your right thumb to press the d pad.

It pretty much makes the freelook useless. LOL and we thought BoP's press in stick shift to freelook was bad. Compared to BF3, BoP's freelook is a god send.

I'm always amazed at your group of friends Foz, they act like they hate each other and hate every game they play. I really don't like Max's attitude.

You get used to it, that's why we all just kept laughing, because he gets really annoyed and it's comical listening to the excuses haha.

Always somebody else to blame for him Not being able to shoot straight hahaha.

On a lighter note....

That's f18 of mine was causing you some problems

Arrrghhh. Thats what I hate about unlocks that give you abilities over newer players. Its a right pain to not only be new at the game, not knowing any of the maps but to be totaly out gunned by longer time players aswell. I mean who in real life would take a Warplane into combat armed only with a cannon, no radar and no defensive counter measures and take it up against a fully armed highly effective enemy? He'd get shot down in seconds, and thats exactly what happens to me.

Thats what i like about BoP's unlocks, they were difficult but fair. A Hurricane can still win even against the most difficult to unlock plane.
