I miss you guys... But really. Really? Get to work!!!
 

Hello my fine friends,

I was just dropping and checking the forum[B]s to see if maybe there was any progress as far as the X Box patch... Of course there isn't, But that's okay.

What I am concerned with is...


WHY THE HELL AM I STILL AT THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD ON XBOX 360 SIM MODE!?

I boycotted this game about SIX months ago due to a lack of the patch. Yet NO ONE has even moved up an inch on the leaderboards, I should have been passed up an age and a half ago.

Geez guys, it's time to stop playing realistic and step up to the real man's game. If someone actually comes close to taking the #1 spot on sim dogfight then I may actually jump out of retirement and give you a run for your money.

But, I recently built a PC gaming rig so I could play REAL flight sims. (Yay for me) If anyone out there has DCS: Black Shark, hit me up and I would love to be your wingman!

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.

on xbox maybe

Pope >>>>

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

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. :eek:

Good god, now thats what I call SIM lol
Looks damn hard but alot of fun to once you know how right? Are you looking forward to Storm of War too? I hope to have saved enough cash for a new pc by the time its released lol

dam that chopper game looks complicated but very cool. How are you supposed to know what to do to start a heli. up?

Hey Pedro, whats your flavor ? , I did the same thing and I have just about all of them.

Black Shark, Rise of Flight, Il2 1946, Battle of Britain II, Wings of Prey, and
Over Flanders Field.
I haven't played much Black Shark yet, Rise of flight has been eating my time up. WWI at it freaking best ! Do you have ROF also ? I have been wanting to fly some COOP online.
If you want to hit up some pc sims let me know.
Did you go so far as to get the Greatness which is Track IR 5 ?

DESODE

.........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.
