I think the mission editor could be modified to allow duelers to create dueling matchups. This would allow a player to create his own duel and post the mission. Instead of a start time use ready buttons and away you go.

It would also be helpful for the squadron training I do as well (assuming one could create variation on the 1 v 1 such as 1 v 2, 2 v 2, 4 v 4 etc)

Why complicate things from what they are now? Duelers are not asking for these changes. None of you suggesting for this dueling exchange thing ever accept my requests for a one on one when I'm looking for someone to fly with. How often do you duel? Open question to anyone.

And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

I'd say I duel 15 hours a month approximately 300 duels a month, I'd like to see the f3 removed.  I'd like to see a new arena strictly for dueling putting you up at the alt and random plane selection ect for ranks, and unrank fun.

well as a regular dueler Dep, what makes you feel the current arena named the Dueling Arena is not where duels should be. Why is it you suggest moving the duels from the dueling arena and making a new arena for dueling in?

Nrshida and I have had some awesome fights at dweeb lake. That doesnt change the name from dweeb lake though. It's a lake for dweebery during peak hours. I didnt even address that because I know he knows I wasnt calling him a dweeb and his defence of the lake been called dweeb lake was the same knee jerk defence I am putting up now about our dueling arena.

At the end of the day, If the furballer need F3 view that to bad for the duelers. I would rather just keep it as it is. I can respect that a new community has formed around dweeb lake and I do my best not to spoil their fun. But if one group has to move it should not be the original dueling community.

I'd just like to see some technology brought into the dueling concept.  We all know how many people like to duel, its no question that a big community of us that enjoy it.  And we all know that the technology is there to use an automated arena that puts you in the air at a certain altitude you and your opponent agrees to with the plane you want or random plane for the rank section.  You would be able to duel any person you wanted to, even a pacific person of your choosing to duel.  You would be brought into a lobby and you can pull up a map and see the duels going on in "duel heaven" you could watch any fight you wanted to in god mode, or decide to join one of the planes in the duel without interrupting them and without them knowing you were even there. 

Picture this, you get on the game and see "Dueling Arena" with 15 people in the arena.  You click on the arena and you know theres 15 people ready to duel with the exception of afkers.

You could also create multiple plane match-ups for squad practice or even for SDL match-ups.  Even for BE's tournaments could use this arena. 

The idea of starting 6k away from another plane knowing you both are at the exactly same speed, same plane, everything is even except ACM.  Even now when you take off you are never at the exact same speed 6k away, but it's normally close enough where it doesn't really matter. 

But with technology you will be able to get more duels in and also know the ranks of all the players and it will also give you a chance to meet new people trying to improve, and also give the new players a chance to watch live from ones plane who is good at the game.  I could talk forever about this subject but this should give you an idea of where I'd like to see it go. 

New arena for dueling and change the old one to furball arena.

I'd also like to see the old school dueling accomodated where both players took off from the same field going in opposite directions then turned back at a predetermined distance (usually icon range) to start the merge.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Here's my .02 cents....
Perhaps it would be possible to eliminate one of the three WWI arenas, and replace it with a modified DA map. This map would remove all areas East of sector line 13 and West of sector line 7. This would only leave the various altitude fields as well as the canyons. In this arena it would be understood that fair duelling is the only acceptable practice and any "griefing" would be grounds for removal from said arena. Furthermore, I would like to see friendly fire enabled, as well as friendly collisions.

P.S. I am in no way aware of what type of computer hijinx would be required to perform such an action. This is merely my suggestion that would allow for the furballers and duellers to have their own respective areas for competition. I almost forgot, no F3 in modified arena. :devil

20 minutes per duel? Just saying your math seems off. I know I see you in there regularly so not questioning your truthfulness, just noticed that 20 minutes per seemed a bit off. Unless of course you win em all and stay airborn, then in that case, you need more of a challenge.  :D
 
As for the F3 in the DA... yes, remove it. +1

Do your math again  :salute

20 min. duels 3 per hour that would equal 45 duels a month if you are using 15 hours  :aok

You messed up after you divided and got 20 that is in duels per hour / 60 and you get 3 mins. per duel

 Now I may be biased ,and some of what op wrote went over my head . I would like to see some type of system to make communication between duelers easier . I just flew for 24 minutes and finally auggered with a full ammo load in the MA . I know there has to be someone online in game right now that wants a fight too . If there was a system for easily meeting I could be sparring rather then typing .  :mad:
