Ergh, I hope I didn't sound too pompus and condescending in my post... That was not my intention.

It was just really dissapointing to throw the game in my machine and see that those leaderboards hadn't moved an inch.

Not at all, its really nice to hear from you again. You WERE better than everyone else anyway lol, you were the first Ace in BoP and the best there has been imho. I remember those first days with the original sim players, we had some great games (although I never got any kills lol), Yourself, Sleeptrgt, ChankyChank, King Jareth and myself among others.

In answer to your question, BoP is a different game now there is so few people playing it. Gone are the days when you could search for a ranked game or host a ranked game and expect people to appear. Those of us that are left 99% of the time use the player match because of its ability to invite people and so all these games don't go onto the leaderboards. The group I now play with mostly plays only sim and if you see me online your welcome to join us

We did go through a period a couple of months back were we flew in ranked, thats how brickster, EvangelusE and myself got onto the top page. I guess we just figured it wasn't worth the hassle of having to get everyone in a party just to tell them what to search for.

I can't vouch for you fine PS3 players. I imagine I may could give you a run for your money though.

Thanks man! I miss you guys too! Unfortunately, the thought of jumping back on BoP after having bought a gaming PC specifically to fly the non-watered down version of these wonderful sims just doesn't seem logical. Some time when I hook up the ol' XBox again I will see if I can meet up with you guys. Do me a favor though and make sure that I'm still on your friends list, if not then add me: PedroTheGoat

It's good to see you again Pope, we did have some excellent dog fights, that's for sure. It's a shame to see that this game has all but died due to the lack of a patch and poor sales.

I don't blame you Pedro, I would switch to PC flight sims too if I didn't have such good friends playing BoP (that and needing a new pc). Just had a look at DCS Black Shark on youtube.

.........same here Pope, I have been tempted to get a PC but while I still have the opportunity to play SIM regularly with the BOP friends I have made on Xbox will stay with it. If ever the day comes when getting a regular SIM game comes to an end I will get WOP. Never been in a game with you Pedro so maybe you should come on one evening and make a 'guest appearance' (just one session and you set the time). Yeah, we gave up on the SIM leaderboard rankings as the number of players dwindled. But, if we had set every match on Ranked, you would have dissappeared some time ago purely on the games played........which is pointless! Most of the SIM regulars are pretty damned good these days so you may be interested to see how good compared to the early days.

Pope >>>>> Oh yeah, DCS Blackshark is a kick in the ass. I read the 534 page pdf. flight manual before I even attempted to start that beast up. It is a VERY complicated game, especially for takeoff. Once you get in the air it's be a bit better though, but still tough. I love the technical aspects of sims, so DCS Black Shark is right up my alley. Plus, I always loved Heli sims.

ButcherBird >>>> Lots and lots of practice my man. Memorizing the takeoff procedures is no small task, but once you have it down, it's no big deal. There are training missions, and if you just don't feel like screwing around with it, there's a quick start shortcut.

Desode >>>> Excellent to see you again man! As of right now I JUST got my brand new spanking gaming rig. (I'm going to spout off the specs now because I am proud of it) AMD Phenom II quad core running at 3.4 a piece (Oc'ed to 4.0), ATI Radeon 8530 with 1 gb of DDR5, 8 gigs of DDR3 running at 1600mhz, and a LOT of sexiness on my 42" LCD.

So I'm just trying to master a bit of the singleplayer campaigns before I jump on and embarass myself on Co Op. I'm getting close though. DCS is all I own at the moment, this is all fairly new to me.

Oh, and you KNOW I have Track IR. Only 4 though, I didn't see a huge difference between 4 and 5 so I went with the cheaper.

SEE >>>> Cool man! I understand why you play player match, and am SUPER happy to know that there still is a bit of an active community out there. I'll have to jump on sometime and see how you guys are flying. (Feel free to add my GT: PedroTheGoat)

Pope >>>> Oh, and I forgot, if you guys buy WOP then I sure as hell will to get some real sim co op missions on with you guys, because that would just simply be awesome.
