Anybody out there willing to go do a little dueling?
As you may know the third tri-annual dueling bracket sign-ups will begin soon and I need to work on my dueling merge in particular, and my one-on-one similar plane match-up flying in general. I'm hoping with a little help on my merge and some luck in plane and player assignments that I might be able to make it past the first round this time :) I've only been flying a very limited amount since August and need to shake some rust off.
I'd like to do this against one of the better sticks or anyone who can present a tough challenge in a duel merge. I can be available about any time but evenings central (after 9:00 PM) work best.

Anytime you see me on send me a PM.
I dont know if you would call it a club or a cult :D but alot of us "furballers" have been going to the DA for informal 1v1s. Normally same plane match-ups, deck merges to keep the fights as even as possible, and always of course...no HOs.
Very good time, heres a list of names who I fly against multiple times a week who are all very capable sticks...
-Krupnski
-ardy123
-Agent360
-IrishOne
-Grizz
-Dodger
-Dedalos
-SunsFan
-SERaider
-hllbly
BE if you can beat anyone of these guys 1v1 in a fair fight, you should do very well in your next dueling bracket, which Im really looking forward to and hope I can make my fights...I still want to 1v1 Mensa :) :salute

Thanks guys.
I should be on most nights this week.
Junky, I saw you on last night but was only on long enough for a couple of quick deaths :) I'll look for you during the week.
Masher, I'll watch for you in the arena (or PM me). Looking forward to it. Maybe I'll get you to teach me a few things about the Ki-61 too :) even though I need a lot of work in the American fighters... not my best planes.
Sol, I'm available any night this week after 9:00 CST so just let me know what night works best for you.

American rides are my weak point too, we can help each other out :salute

Absolutely, I'd be glad to teach another "master of the Ki-61". 4XTCH isn't around to embarrass folks in it.

Never heard of this. When is it? Sounds like fun. :t

I've been in the last two events and plan on being in the next. I am usually on during your time period either in early or mid war. Be glad to be a target.
Just Flatiron in the game.

In case you're being serious here's links to the first two tournament threads:
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,269285.0.html
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,275270.0.html
I pulled all but the final results bracket from the first tourney thread so you'll find the completed bracket near the end of the thread.
Sign-ups for the next one will start this coming weekend.

I'm back around, I'm rusty as heck, but I've still got the concepts :)

Stop by the DA and see if there is any activity between 23-24. If not, see if any of the pilots listed by junky are online. If so, it's usually pretty easy to round everybody up and have some very fun fights.

I'll da anytime, just pm me.

Thanks Widowmakers. That was fun and I'm pretty sure it helped me out. Amazing after all these years I didn't know what I was doing wrong.
Thanks again and if any of you are up for it again I am. Just PM me.

I saw a big improvement at the end there. You were managing and maintaining your Energy MUCH better.
Good stuff.
Would love to spend a bit more time in there w/ ya'.

Lute, you are a good teacher. Good at recognizing what I was doing wrong and giving me the info to get it right.
I can see I've also got some mapping work to do. I don't have a HOTAS setup and have always used my num pad for views and my mouse wheel for throttle. That means every time I have to use throttle or hit WEP I have to take my hands off the num pad and I momentarily lose views. This in turn gets me lazy in terms of throttle and WEP use. I'm so many years in I don't think I'll ever get used to using my hat for views but I'm going to map my WEP over to my stick which should help a little. I've had it mapped to my mouse wheel click but that still leaves me with the hands off views issue.
Last night I was so buzy jumping around with my right hand and trying to remember everything that you said that I totally forgot I had a rudder. I want to go again and work on rudder at the top of those obliques once I get my WEP re-mapped.
Thanks again. That was great.
[EDIT] Oops... I don't want to slight Sol who was the first to regognize my defficiency or Karaya who provided a lot of different looks for me while fighting.

YW bro. We'll try and get in at least one more night in there. :rock
