I suppose I'll settle for that. But there are plenty of pilots out there, guess I'm just not used to the millitary of today that remembers people.

I must admit to playing darts in CTA sometimes.

You basically point your plane at someone on the runway and bail out at about 1000ft and see if you can get a bullseye before you respawn..

Here's my rough guide to the rules

You can pretty much go by the difficulty..

Arcade : Kill everything. Wanna dive into someone at 700mph? go for it.. no-one cares, kill your own team mates 'by mistake' (this is great fun!), wanna drop bombs on yourself? No problem! Whilst you're at it... Quitting in arcade is very nearly compulsary..

Realistic : Gets a little bit more serious here.. Realistic players like to play fair and will not tolerate any nonsense from anybody over anything whatsoever especially from the damned French! Bailing out is considered the proper thing to do, and most do (except the damned French!)

Simulator : This is a bit like chess.. because it's mostly played at knee height.
The rules are pretty relaxed because everybody's far too concered about where the hell everybody else is and keeping the bloody thing in the air. You can get away with murder in Simulator because nobody really has any ******* idea who the hell they are shooting at.
It's the ideal mode for covertly shooting down team mates, ramming whatever`you like, hiding in bushes and then leaping out like Rambo...

To sumarise anyone can be a prick in arcade but it takes skill to be a prick in Sim.

(P.S I like the French)

This FPA seems to only work with dedicated groups and clubs, mostly on Sim.

Funny, how it is true no one really has a clue most of the time on Sim. I thought team A was colored red and team B blue, so I shot Olife down once.

LOL thumb up Winny

That brings in mind something happened to me few nigth ago, concerning realistic game mode and french.
I was playing BOP looking for some simulator match but none was going on, while i've recieved an invitation from a player named LEBRAVE something ( maybe lebrave50 ) to joing their game.

Sadly, ( sadly for me, since i play only sim ) the game was a realistic match, so i quitted while i was still in the lobby, before the game started. Got invited again by the same player with a message saying "come on" and so i've decided to stay.


Game was: Team battle game, 4 players, 3 of them french, ( lebrave, cassecouboi74 and pedro...something , not sure about the right name spelling ), 20 minute game, all of them in spitfire while i was in LA7.

I picked team A but i wanted to play against cassecouboi because i used to know him for longer than other player in the room and quite sure about his skills compared to other present at the moment ( I like to play balanced and challenging team battles when possible, trying to find out, fight and hunt against the most skilled player available over the opposite team ), also, i've been reading about his "unfair" way to play on some other thread ( maybe the quitter one ) and wanted to prove that. He was hosting the game.

What happened next is kinda funny...

i took team A.
he took team A.
I switched to B.
He gone to B too.
( in the meantime, all the 3 french player was talking in french using headset )

I went back to A, he did to... then i went to B and checked, and someone said in english "vdomini don't worry you are not alone" ( lol )

Then all the 3 player gone opposite team and game started.

Me in LA7 vs 3 spit fire in realistic mode, 20 min game.

I've decided to stay for no more than 10 minutes, then to quit.
After those 10 minutes, i had scored 4 kills, they scored 0. The game was pretty boring.

I wrote a message at lebrave but he replyed he didn't know how to speak english.

I have nothing against the french, my aunt is french, i 've been studing in a french school when i was very young and i was able to learn how to speak french fluently, i love france and i totally adore Paris, i have many friend in france one of my best online BOP friend is Olife and he is a great and fair friend, but i have to admit that he is the only french pilot i like to fly with/against while playing BOP.
