"The Gruesome Twosome Tournament" - 2vs2 SIM ONLY (PS3 & XBOX)

[Robotic Pope]

Obviously I'd prefer to have the HUD for the throttle percentage. The whole point is to make the flying in the competition as realistic as we can and it isn't at all realistic to have to fly while guessing the throttle position. What is minimal HUD? I thought it was on/off.


I've got some names for some teams.

Bucketmanroc & EvangelusE -- The Aaayyy? Team
Robotic Pope & xtomisx -- Team Yoohoo -- Berlin map
Count von bek & Panzergranate -- Team KILLalot

on the us version ( i just double checked ) there is the option for Full, Minimal, or Disabled. never really played min hud so dont know what it does or for what mode ( real, arcade, sim ) it makes a difference....just saw it. with a stick, no HUD works fine for me....but if it F's up guys using the game controller then I would say use it. i dont want to screw someone over...tho i may need it... . if no one else has an objection....i say use it if you have to.

Main reason for disallowing HUD on the PS3 was that with the update they've introduced planes at a large distance showing as fat black dots in the sky, which would change into the rendered airplanes at a certain distance. So it's kind of a visiblity enhancer. Second reason for disallowing it was to get people to learn and read the cockpit instruments.

Not sure about the first point on the X360 though.

Regret to withdraw from this tourney. I was unable to secure a wingman. I have not been able to consistently get on the forum to keep up. My main avenue for contact was at work and they have installed so many Baracuda blockers it is impossible. Best of luck to you all. If you see me on and need practice, will be happy to engage on your maps using tourney rules. Warmest WalterNowotny

Ahh so minimal removes the info in the top left corner, disabled removes the black far distance plane dots aswell? Its a shame there isn't an option to disable them indepentantly, I could easily do without the dots, and the great big sodding score display.
