I throw the gauntlet down to Sir Mac, I want to challenge him as my first combatant.

Please message me with your preferred time, & I will post my projected schedule to fly with each group member.

Catch me if you can....I'm the Gingerbread Man!

Played my first 2 matches with Sir Mac of Malta on Opening nite Monday Jan 17 .
In pregame chat Mac indicated he would fly by his very strick club rules and I would use my new Thrustmaster stick . It did not go so well for me Mac skunked me both sorties .
Although towards end of last match I was starting to get more comfortable with new controls . Mac came away with 7 kills although 2 were do pilot error. One of his kills was a thing of beauty a 1 sec burst that had my Stang an instant fireball. one other had my elevators destroyed and locked in nose down I ejected from A/C . Mac is the most disciplned Virtual Ace his club rules flying allthough a handicap will have you in real trouble if your in his sights he is deadly accurate.

The Joystick vs Ps3 Controller my thoughts

Stick allows for very fine slow speed control Triming causes the aircraft to allmost squat it seems once trimed I noticed the view from cockpit changed like I was sitting lower in my seat ( strange ) . 2 Problems with stick one being that POV hat sems to only be digital so no true panning of view second
allthough very percise in throttle control there seems to be some lag reacts like a jet slower to spool . Pad has no engine lag and analog pov with stick.

Have next match tonite Fri Jan 21 2000 GMT versus Stapler .

Right, I have tomorrow (Monday 17th) afternoon off so if your free from about 1400h then I can have a game! Any takers? (GMT)

I'd like to get some battles out of the way!

[McQ59]

Yeah, I better hand my azz in there fast myself...
I'm on tomorrow night from about 19:00.
Feel free chaps.

Everybody:

1.) Hold your guns and horses until Edal publishes the official match schedule!

Due to the last minute changes, and other circumstances, the schedule is not quite ready yet and still has to be finalized. No tournament matches shall be played before the schedule has been published!

2.) Please use your 'homepages' (the messages you posted and which are linked to your name in the player's list) as your message boards to announce your availability etc. You can easily edit them by clicking on your name in the first post, which will take you right to your 'homepage'. Would be also nice if you would use these homepages as your tournament 'Blog', to describe some matches, keep public notes, whatever you like. Will be nice to read up on for everyone later on!

3.) Those who have not made 'homepages' (simply by replying on the thread with some essential data about themselves), please do so as soon as possible.

4.) We had to delay the presentation of the Tournament Trophies until tomorrow. But it's okay to present them on Inauguration Day, so you all can keep an eye on what you're fighting for (figure medieval jousting). And, the trophies might look a bit familar...

Thank's all!
