First of all, You know nothing. It is indeed something to do with the update you muppet. The update is why you have blackouts on PS3, thats when they were reinstated into the game. Before the Patch blackouts only happened at something like 9G.

Secondly your info on how to negate a feature of the game the developers though would increase your enjoyment is useless to anyone but yourself because everybody has different makes of tv/moniter, your settings would not give anything like the same effect on our tv's. Also you forgot to say anything about the in game brightness setting although I have no doubt that you have that whacked right up to maximum. The game is a grey wash at that high brightness. I keep mine at default level which is zero.

Thirdly no matter what you say, this is a form of cheating, you are not meant to be able to see though blackouts.

I have to agree with Pope on this. The whole point of having black and redout is the impaired vision that subsequently results. It's why fighter pilots nowadays wear G-suits designed to eleviate it. By turning up the brightness all your doing is cheating yourself. Do you keep the TV on these settings for all games and when watching TV? If the answer is no then as Pope says it's an easy way to cheat. Where's the satisfaction in knowing that you got the kill because the other guy didn't turn up his brightness? As Pope has said these things were put into the game to provide more realism which if everyone is then finding 'work arounds' makes a mockery of the effort that the developers put into it.

Why enhance ones flying ability when one can use tech to get the upperhand.
Why dont we all use lag switches as some do ?

Up for call for the ones who care, I dont. I enjoy the game for its content that gives me joy, not for its ability to boost my ego. And yes, at times it feels great to be shot down by a superior pilot who has performed beautiful manouvers to achieve it.

And we all do know how to use the overwep on the Spits, but it hasnt got its on thread on the forum...........

I seem to remeber someone posting what looked like a photo of BoP being played on a tweaked TV. The brightness and contrast had been turned way up and it made the enemy A/C very visible, very.

Funnily enough at the time nobody really picked up on it...

It was last year but I can't remember who posted it.

EDIT : Found it,

I dunno if it's real or photoshopped though.

That was a joke post using photoshop. If you turn up your brightness to see through blackouts/dark terrain, then surely when you follow an enemy skyward you will have the opposite effect, and have whiteout.

Cool, I just remembered the pic more than the context.

the best ways to see others while blackouting:

1-practice
2- go in training mode,cockpit view only,hud totally disabled,sim mode,dark map,10 ennemy pilots veterans,and train to see them ,u can add no map..it is very hard but good to train.

Please note this---- I am the player responsible for JRHOODY sharing some information with everyone about help in Sim.....If you want to address your gripe then this should be aimed at me.

Firstly.....please read the Thread Header again..."how to see other's while blacking out "....read it again....?? Yes, setting's or not you still black out in the turn....you just make out what is going on around you clearer.

First please only use kind and considerate words toward my friend JRHOODY...he is a well respected player and forum member and i will not accept anything else. Mr Robotic Pope...I am only junior to your status as a respected expereinced player and senior forum member and your choice of script agreeable or not I still respect your views without challenge. But do not ever use the word "cheat" and my friend JRHOODY in the same sentence. Afford him the respect others pay you.

Second Sim is hard....I once posted my first funny view on Sim, and it was soon clear that this is where the real challenge lay. Arcade Lobbie's are a plenty...Realistic Lobbie's are more frequent now....Sim Lobbie's not so.

What JRHOODY did last night was offer to take me to one side....offer some hint's and tip's on setting of PS3 pad / Aircraft / TV settings. He did this for two hours of his own time and his only reward was maybe getting one more player into Sim that would otherwise feel reluctant. I would suspect that the outrage this has caused by going "public" on the Tv issue now tells me a lot more than I realised.

I have been offered help before...Yuma....No2 in Arcade Dogfight, a Great Great worthy Advisary and friend sent me some Custom setting for Spitfire's. Did it help me get into the top 50...yes....can I beat Yuma...Sanibelfram...Meoestro ..Mav...Ruffmonk....geckogeek....sweet mistic....FrogSaunders.....no i cant...but we have great memorable battles me trying and I think they appreciate a better opponent.

Scottyvt4 was instumental in being my Guide in stepping up into Realistic...taught me setting's, where to aim, how to catch the stall and many other thing's...was his advice a threat to anyone ? No I dont think so, but I play Realistic to a standard where I can offer an opponent a worthy challenge...but can I beat Mav...Rattman...Viper-ss...FOCK1T....Beanzie...JEOD....MonsterHQ...bousa t....piednoir...IKKURINA....Lebrave...WalterNovotn y...and the other great player...no I cant but I became a better opponent for being there thanks to Scottyvt4.

Now JRHOODY is helping me into Sim...how about busy Sim Lobbies with a lot of newer player's....that what my friend want's to achieve or at least try...

So with my Custom Tv and PS3 pad setting will I now go into Sim with an easier introduction...yes....am i encouraged to try Sim...yes....am I going to be a Killer overnight...NO...no setting will ever get me near the skill's from Olife-....McQ59...Kavorland...Walter....JR...MACADEMIC.. ...themeistor.....vdomini....But I do want to be in the game at least to witness them and learn to be a better opponent.


If I am ever in a Sim lobby and you object to me being in the game...send me a message and I will bow out not a word said. If you let me stay then allow me to learn from you....setting's or not...Skill is Skill and Good Sim players have it and allow me to be a worthy opponent.

So my friend JRHOODY.....thank you for trying to bring more into the Game
