Well i mentioned him in another thread not long ago  ;) But yeah he was ridiculously good in the P51. Posted some amazing #s at the time, but was very well versed in E management in that thing.

The original inquiry was about the method. Anything counter-intuitive or is it top secret?


Drex used BFM that he would coriograph into a dance,he could enter a fur ball from the bottom and maneuver his AC to the top taking anything out that got into his gunsight. His aim was second to none much like his ability to track all the targets. IIRC he would set his display up to a very low resolution,remember back then a 17 in monitor was huge.

I think I remember HT in a thread during that con that Drex won the 1v1 duel tournament, and that people were saying Drex had set his resolution to 800x600-ish or even lower (1080p was the typical resolution back then, before LCD monitors were any good for gaming and during the 17, 19 and 21" monitor days).  Gave you a larger target on screen which made accuracy/speed/etc increase a bit. 

Anyhow, I remember when Drex won, HT put something into the AH update so that when you launched the game, the entry screen said "Drex rules" or something similar to that, I can't recall exactly because it was 22 or more years ago now.  That stayed up for a week or two, "Drex rules", every player in the game would see that with every launch of the game executable.  Good times.

I remember a pilot named “zankro” who was unbeatable in a sero.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
