I can give you a little test match and see how you do and where you are at, and we can work from there.

* By the way, Rhah may be dropping out of Ace of Aces tournament and has mentioned that he is willing to leave you his spot, please answer to this at the ace of aces thread

I know I'm not exactly new to the game, but you saw me "flying" (read: being shot down one billion times) the other day, so...if you don't mind...

If you need help i'd be happy to!

Hi edal, I'd appreciate a test match too... even though I've been playing a bit, I still seemed not to have 'turned the corner' - I played on the same team as you and others the other day, with an La-5, and couldn't manage a single kill.

Then on the same team as Mirgervin, against you and a small group, I think I lucked into a kill off of a hit where the guy crashed soon afterward.

I really need to see why my turn & burn isn't up to par.

On another note, I tried a boom & zoom plane, the Bf-109 K4 I think, against Mirgervin yesterday on a 1 v 1 and frustrated him so much with it that he actually quit the game. I think he quite possibly is what we call a 'cheeser' - I was giving him quite a fight with the changed tactics and he wasn't up to the change in strategy needed to get kills. I think he's mastered being able to turn quickly on someone's 6 and get his kills... he may even be using some sort of unseen advantage to do so, I don't know, b/c once I managed to make him earn his kills he quit. He even crashed his plane once I damaged it to get a new one - I'm really beginning to think he's a cheap player, and I'm thinking about dodging him if he doesn't straighten up and fly right so to speak...

Christmas and Christmas eve are out. I am off week between Chiristmas and New Years and will be available some mornings while my wife is at work. Im two hours ahead of you and usually stay up till 1,2, or 3am. I have some car work to do but not everyday. I'll post here Sunday my schedule for next week. So maybe late morning/early afternoon or later in the evening a few sessions? Is this OK? Oh, and I now am miked up.

I will contact you guys soon, by the way how many of you guys have a headset? not necessary but it may be helpful

No need to sort it out b4 saying what I said. It's just a fact - he couldn't shoot my down turn & burn style so he quit on the game. This is cheap.

This has nothing to do with 'struggling,' this has to do with honorable play.

if u need a test target. i would play the drone. ;)

Are you sure he quit though. On multiple occasions, I've just been disconnected with no reason as to why...

Dude, life is too short for you to come in here and try to tell me what to say and not to say about someone else's game play. Why don't *you* drop it? This was about him, not you, you weren't there, you have no reason to drum up reasons why *you* think *he* quit. He was cheap. I know. I was there. So I'm talking about it. *You* are inserting your uninformed opinion on the matter. You're not peace making here, you're butting in on a situation that didn't concern you. If he has an issue with what I posted, let him come here and explain himself for himself please.

Mate, again, please drop it - this matter does not concern you, and now you're turning it into something it doesn't have to be.

Yes I'm sure. Right after he missed his last pass at me, after missing the pass before when I landed some hits on him, after flying around chasing me, he quit. The timing was impeccable.

We'll see if he makes a habit of this in future games. If he doesn't - fine, he shouldn't. If he does, we won't be surprised.

please dont ruin the respect I have for you, ignore his comments and the problem wont escalate. Take your own advice and send him a private message, argue there, not here please.

Above all the gossip there was a question about headset.
I aint got 1, but will soon.

I got one

I have a headset too...

i dont have a headset but i can hear you talking through 1 just cant talk back

Please stay on topic this thread is for Edal's Flight School.

I most certainly am, I'm not a complete noob, I've been playing since October but gave the online stuff a rest whilst waiting for the patch, and hav now made the leap to sim, the problem I have, apart from being a flying target drone, is turning. Or rather out turning my foe!

I played on Wednesday seperately with DH1979 and Olife, with dinoh I was in an La 7, that wasnt too bad I think I got 1 kill, I respawned at the usual height, dinoh was hugging the deck coming in my direction and for once I managed to roll and dive onto him getting the kill :-P the rest of the time he kicked my arse.

The second game with Olife I just had my arse handed to me, 20 min game I got 1 lucky kill on a head on pass, the rest of the time I was cannon fodder.

What really got me was we would make a headon pass and before I had even turned through 180 degrees he had managed to turn onto my six, didnt think hurri's had handbrakes :grin: although I was in a P51b dont know if that makes a differance?

Although afterwards Olife did send me a nice message congratulating me on my courage, lambs to the slaughter more like;)

So its the this aspect that I need tuition on, unless when we do play you see A whole load of other issues!!!:rolleyes:

And I have a head set too.

edal asked us who had headsets

Edal, I have just seen your B-day thread, It was my birthday on the 15th Dec, I cant believe you are "only" 24.........I'm now 38!

Can you teach an old dog new tricks?

We will see!

Haitch, that wasnt directed at you buddy.:grin:

I'm not too good with sim, mostly stick to realistic.

I don't have a headset either. I get paid tomorrow so I can get one. Been wanting one anyway. I usually play alone and could use the company! How do they work? Do you have to use one of the USB ports? I'm alreadu using both ports. Wal Mart? Best Buy? Target? any of the above? What brand is a good one?

Old man? At 38? Ha! I don't think anyone haere is as old as me. I'm.......Damn! I'm...f......fi...Damn! I'm......... ..... Damn! I can't say it

I bought a LG bluetooth for my ps3 works well and cost 16 dollars on ebay (shipping included) battery lasts 8 hours, but I never charge it so I usually run out of battery faster (no usb port needed with a bluetooth)

Again, it is not necessary, I just want to know who has one, as long as you can hear me it is ok.

Ok. LG bluetooth. I'll look around. Thanks for doin this by the way. A bit of chivelry never hurt anybody.

I wasn't talking about your post. I was talking about the first one talking about mergirvin.:-P

ok oops im a bit embarased now
btw how do u do the embaresed emoticon?

Sorry guys, just finished this semester finals and I am caught up with Christmas shopping, I will work with you all as soon as I can :)

I disagree - think of all the poor victims when Edal creates a load of sim monsters and unleashes them into the wild... :P

No worries buddy, I think all us Padawan's are just grateful someone is prepared to take us under their wing (get it) rather than just use us as cannon fodder:grin:

We await your instruction Yoda!

All trainees, please read the first post for instructions and description of the training.

See you guys soon. :)

Edal, I really like the way you create, plan, and organize your events. Great, great training system you've set up here!

I'm on the US Eastern time zone - just let me know when you're ready - I'm usually available after 9pm EST... thanks! I'm looking forward to learning and getting better!

thank you, I have not turn on my PS3 since yesterday, but by tomorrow (saturday)or later today (friday) I will be online more often. See you then my friend

:-[

:-$

:$

These are the three that I know of but this forum doesn't accept them for some reason.

@edal!

LOL - upon our first tournament meeting, you have revealed to me that you initially thought i was "easy prey." after managing a win (you were at a disadvantage, of course), i suddenly became a "future menace", at which point you demolished me.

bwahahaha! i love it! ;)

lol, ok now those emoticons of embarrassment could come in handy. :)

But yes that is the edalmeter for showing the skill of my opponents :)

lol how could you make an edalmeter it would go off the scale and break as soon as it saw you flying :D

Room for 1 more??
 

Would be grateful if you could add me too!!

Thanks

Just wanted to report that I've had my 1st training session with Edal, and he is an extremely patient, extremely thorough flight instructor. After only one session, I'm already a measurably better pilot - it's really interesting just how much there is to learn about even *seemingly* minor aspects of simulation flight!

To future students - if you pay strict attention, you WILL learn and get better with Edal showing you the ropes!

Looking forward to my next training session!!!

You can sign me up!

PSN: zjfo

Thanks for joining guys.

Again, what I teach you is basically what I have learned from playing the game. I wont get technical because, I can't, I dont have the knowledge that some of you show about planes. What I do have is experience and that is what you will learn from me.

Another thing, you must be patient; with yourself and with me. English is not my first language so sometimes I need time to figure out what I want to communicate.

Thanks again, see you guys soon :)

its not? well you fooled me there you speak like it is

I honestly have to agree, I didn't realise at all!

Well, It is very different writing and speaking. :) But thanks for the compliments

I sure could benefit from some flight training.
PSN: ezee63

Great to have new faces interested in simulation mode. I will take you in.

true but ur english grammer is better than mine and im pure english :P

Again, I have to agree! (I did just double check my grammar lol :grin:).

* To all trainees, I have not used my PS3 for 2 days now, so if you added me and I have not responded dont think that Im ignoring you.

* It will be very helpful for me if you posted here when you plan to be online for a training session, sort of an appointment. Be sure to give me a 6-12 hour in advance notice, to eliminate time zone differences. In the case that I log in and see you online I will invite you for your training, if you are ready.

Thanks

time zone im on till fri 10 am to 6pm gmt next week im on holiday and then i got till the 5th jan 10 am to 6pm

ok dont worry, family is first, have a great time

Hi edal! I don't know if this will work out for me. I'm on holiday from today till Jan 4th. Christmas eve and Christmas day are out. The best time is next week when my wife is at work, but I'm helping my sons work on their cars and I need to do some on mine too. But not everyday. I will post here by Sunday what days I will be free and an evening or two or three. How late are you willing to stay up? I'm on central time USA. Two hours ahead of you. I can go till 1,2, or 3am. So maybe a late morning session or later evening session? Or two?

btw i ment im on 10am to 6pm tomorow and today im back from holiday on the 31st

btw i now have a headset
i also have a new tv that has better picture but my mother insists i have it far back so i dont hurt my eyes (oh lord i hate mothers)
also i am alot better in groups than 1v1 as i usualy target an enemy chasing some1 else and then attack

lol, good news. You will see how it is easier to spot an enemy with a big screen tv :)

Looks like you are prepared for everything my friend, the headset will be very useful

yes the headset is useful
but i whenever i talk to people on it i become nervous and i dont know why maybe its because i havent spoken to you lot before or maybe its cos my mother is in the next room and can here everything i say (might start to shut my door)

lol, yes. My girlfriend sometimes says that I look stupid talking to the TV. Women will never understand technology lol. Just kidding, all women are exceptional beings.

PMSL women will never understand men talking to a game console/TV, and yet they can sit and talk on the phone for hours... go figure ;)

lol true women do think its weird and then talk on the phone for hours.
