Suggesting to devs

yes, I see my stars on the board go up and down, but not any connection between that and the stars awarded at the end of matches.

The most annoying thing is winning a match 5-0, or with the patch 20-0, getting 20 stars, only to see that my level dropped. It's happened several times now.

This is a wild guess, but maybe you have to get more stars than the difference between your level and the opponent's highest level.

Someone else (can't remember who) also suggested that accuracy had a big part to play. To be honest, I haven't paid the leaderboards too much attention... but I would love to know how they work (lol - if they work as intended).

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!

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!

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.
