Silvernige came up with a great theory on the yuPlay forum that I keep meaning to test, but don't really look at the leaderboards. He basically suggested that when your stars hit a certain level (200 he said, but I suspect the value will vary across game modes) then your level goes up 1 and the stars reset...

yes, I see my stars on the board go up and down, but not any connection between that and the stars awarded at the end of matches.

The most annoying thing is winning a match 5-0, or with the patch 20-0, getting 20 stars, only to see that my level dropped. It's happened several times now.

This is a wild guess, but maybe you have to get more stars than the difference between your level and the opponent's highest level.

Someone else (can't remember who) also suggested that accuracy had a big part to play. To be honest, I haven't paid the leaderboards too much attention... but I would love to know how they work (lol - if they work as intended).

The best way to deal with how the leaderboards work is to try and not think about them. They appear to make no sense whatsoever.

I'm pretty good at arcade and was floating around the top 20 for a while. I played 2 games where I was the highest scoring pilot on the losing side and I dropped from 5th to 150th. I now couldn't tell you where I am because I don't care. It's a mystery!

Hello Anton,

I'm coming across a lot of sim players who love to fly in cockpit view, so we arrange matches in cockpit view only via messages or headsets. This of course goes by gentlemen's agreement only.

It would be great to have the option to host a game which only allows planes with cockpit view and excludes virtual cockpits.

That would be a fantastic add on, especially for tournaments under such rules.

Thank you. Keep the good work up!

P.S: I started a poll to support this request: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=11745
