*Ace of Aces PS3 Tournament - Final & Prizes!!*

[MACADEMIC]

Hi Edal and Mirgervin,

After doing some research (I'm not too familar with the subject) it seems that recording of the final in HD would be nearly impossible to organise.

There is however a cost effective way to do SD recordings through a device called Pinnacle Video transfer which would not require a PC, or the Pinnacle Dazzle, which would work in connection with a PC.

The obvious downside, as I understand it, is that the PS3 can only output either analog or digital signals, and not simultaneously. Therefore if we would be using these, then you both could play against each other in SD only, which might be unusual and affect your gameplay. However, both players would have the same disadvantage which might balance this out, and this might also be of a lesser effect than 'war correspondent's' bombers flying around you while you battle.

If you both could agree on doing a recording of the finals with the mentioned SD limitation, I'd like to propose, as a special price for the first and the second placed of this tournament, either the Dazzle or the Video Transfer, according to your personal needs, which I would then supply to you. You would then record and pass on the media (e.g. external harddrive which I'd also supply) to someone who would do the editing and publication with your permission.

I would enjoy providing this special price since I enjoyed this tournament very much. For you Edal it would also be a recognition for the hard work you've been putting into this tournament and the ongoing one.

How about it,

- Edal?

- Mirgervin?

Best,

MACADEMIC

P.S.: I'd also have a little hope that the two of you could use the devices in the future to bring interesting footage to us, e.g. some instructional videos, formation flying, or anything interesting that might come along...

I could capture maybe 10 minutes of it using a webcam from a bomber.

wouldn't having other planes in view be a potential distraction to the players though?

Great tournament! Even though I'm on Xbox I have been following the results and a video would be 'brill' if possible.

alright guys, I am back. I have news, I played Mirgervin already two days ago. I lost 12-18. we both used spits IX. Nothing exciting really, mostly head on attacks and collisions. There were 3 rolling scissors that lasted for about 30 seconds, that was the best part of the whole match, (I got the kill 2/3 of the time) Maybe I should have made up a rule "dont shoot opponent until you are at his Six, lol"

* I realize it would have been impossible to record since most of the time all you would be able to see was going to be two black dots.

I am satisfied, though, because I accomplished my goal. I wanted to find someone who could really test my skills on a 1vs1 match. Although, a rematch that will prohibit head on attacks would really demonstrate each other skills "shooting only from a 6 o'clock position would be more exciting.

* to all, Practice will make you a better player. I have noticed how many of you guys have become real aces. I hope that this tournament gave you some kind of motivation to keep trying to get better. Mirgervin is a good example of what practice can produce

So far:
1. Mirgervin
2. edal86
3. ??? (please play your match guys, I want to wrap this up)

** As soon as I have the 3rd place I will give you your prizes

Congratulations to Mirgervin!

And a three cheers to Edal86 for setting up and funding the tournament. Your efforts to galvanise the community are greatly appreciated mate. To be honest, without these tournaments and events, I think the online community for this game would be pretty much dead.

So I think I speak for all of us when I say "Thanks a lot dude".


Maybe we could even have another tournament in a couple of months?

Congratulations to the Winner!!!

Great tournamet, I had a lot of fun with it. Maybe now when we have a some kind of ranking we could continue this like in boxing. Challenging and going up in ranking list till you can challenge ace of the aces and maybe even win that trophy then.
