"Battle for Europe" Competition (PS3 SIM Players) "Year: 1946"

[Rhah]

You're right... I did jump the gun a bit there... Having read the rest of the rules it definitely makes more sense. You must have put a lot of time into this mate.... Cheers!

So the "warm-up" game is on saturday? Damn, I won't be able to make that one, but I'll hopefully be able to get involved when the tourny starts properly next week.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks, this makes me feel much better. I was worried about not being able to send the message across correctly. Yes, It took some time and thinking that is why I really want people to understand how these rules work, Everything will be more fun if you understand how it all works, and it may even stimulate you to want to get more involved.

P.S. Everything has an explanation. I have more pages and notes to answer any "what if ?" situation. Ask and you will get an answer (please be sure to read all of the rules before posting a question, though)

thanks

After reading through it, I'm thinking that I'd quite like to get involved in the strategy of side of the tournament (assuming I can get a high enough rank). However, some people will just want to turn up and fly, so maybe you could do a very brief set of rules for those players. Maybe something like this:



For the player’s who just want to fly and aren’t worried about ranks and strategy.

Basic rules of the tournament:- Most importantly, Please listen to you what your superior officers say. They will let you know when the matches are, what aircraft are to be used, and your role in the battle.
- Treat all other players with respect.
- Add Edal86 to your friends list, so that you can send him screenshots if necessary.
- Add as many other players (from both teams) as you can to our friends list
- There are 4 types of matches: Air superiority (Team deathmatch), Strategic Bombing (Strike), Capture territory (Capture the Airfield) and VIP escort (Bomber escort on strike mode). The type of match will be chosen by the ranking officers on each team.
- Before the match starts, make sure you have the correct aircraft and loadout, and then ready yourself (So the green tick is showing). The host will start the match only when every player has done this, and a screenshot has been taken.
- Edal86 and the Officers in each team will take care of screenshots and statistics.
- No ramming bombers
- No ramming aircraft that have landed
- No babysitting captured airfields. Once and airfield has been captured, take off and fight asap.
- Officers cannot use the I-153.
- Each flight has can have a maximum of 200 deaths. Once that limit is reached, all ranks in that flight are reset.

Special rule for Bomber pilots:
Bombers are allowed to “re-arm”, To do this you can land your aircraft on your teams side of the map and take a screenshot (via the XMB menu) with the map opened, and your speed, altitude and bomb load at zero. For coastal maps like Sicily and Britain, you are allowed to land anywhere.
Please send the screenshot to Edal86 so that he can adjust the stats accordingly.
*Any editing of screenshots will result in a 2 week suspension from the tournament

Open the XMB (Cross media bar) by pressing the PS button on the control pad, then scroll left till you see the camera. Under that menu there is an option to "save screenshot". You can attach those screenshots to private messages

Has this been tested with aviator control pad layout? Because you have to hold start for map and L2 to stay still. The number of times I've forgotten and just gone into the trees while not looking at the screen lol.

I don't know how this operates with the XMB too... maybe I'll try tonight...

Exactly my thoughts too, though I believe when you press start your throttle locks, many a match where I have to adjust sensitivity settings at the onset, I go full WEP, nose up a little then press start to change, the aircraft remains at full power even when I'm tinkering.

when you press ps button game pauses and leaves your other buttons as you were pressing them. then you can take your snapshot. it´s better to practice this before tournament.

I thought it only paused in singleplayer. The action keeps going when you press the PS button online.

Pauses the position of the buttons, so if you were banking and pulling to turf then you will keep doinb it.

I need practice!!
