Top Gun Trophy: ‘=Alpha=KOT’ Tops Stiff Competition

Posted on: September 24, 2012 Posted by: SA Staff Comments: 86


W.O = Walk Over (No Show)

It has been a thrilling 1 on 1 BFM tournament throughout the week despite many walkovers. =Alpha=KOT, already known as one of the best dogfighters in FC2, has managed to win the 2012 Top Gun trophy after defeating =USSR=SuperMutt in the final duel. SuperMutt, also known as one of the very best in the discipline, overcame =Aplha=Zerol in the semis.

Kudos to all the participating pilots for their courage and sportsmanship!

  1. Alright gentlemen , 48h window for possible reschedule has elapsed, therefore 1st round matches default schedule stands ! Matches start tomorrow Wednesday 5th @ 22:00 SA Time. S!

  5. No show screenshots received from : Bolt, HiJack and Gaanalma. Thanks gentlemen.
    Acid Freak please send your screenshot to staff@sa-sim.com. Thank you.
    Walk Over’s will be processed and tournament draw will be updated in the next 24hours. Sorry guys for all those no shows, I’m sure we gonna get some action on the next round.
    Has any of you guys seen either =Alpha=KOT or ZHUCK ?

  7. Thanks gentlemen for your patience and the screenshots. Tournament draw has been updated.

    Quick reminder for second round matches : Sunday September 9th @ 22:00 SA Time.
    If you can’t make it on Sunday please let us know by Friday (48h in advance) so we can sort out a different appointment and avoid the W.O.

    Gladiators I salute you ! 😀
    SuperMutt vs Bolt
    Zerol vs Gaanalma
    Bond vs HiJack

    Sorry Acid Freak you will have to skip that round too as both KOT and ZHUK didn’t show up ! but hey you’re already set for the semifinal and you gonna play either Bond or HiJack !! 🙂 (next Sunday)

  10. Hi KOT, Tournament starting date was set from the very first day when you signed up for the event (September 1st).
    Official schedule and draw have been published on that same date (see post’s date above) so you were supposed to check for updates on September 1st. You thought you would receive email notification, sorry for the misunderstanding.

    Although I have already announced the Walk Over for Acid Freak, I have no issues cancelling that if Acid Freak is fine with that. I will send him an email right now and will get back to you asap.
    Thank you for your patience.

  12. Mission map UPDATED, please download the latest version here : http://www.2shared.com/file/kV146gmU/SA_1vs1_Guns_Only.html

    The link above has also been updated.

    Updates :
    Fuel at 20% for all aircrafts, it’s up to the player to set fuel quantity by either choosing maintenance refueling presets (20, 50, 75 or 100%) or manually by selecting 100% then F5 to stop refueling at the desired quantity. DO NOT FORGET TO REFUEL before take-off 😀

    EDIT : Sometimes the hangar’s gates will not open, still you can pass through it (bug).

  17. The only way to play Bolt would be on the final match HJ 😀

    I’m sure we gonna pull some good action scenes out of all this so do save your tracks gentlemen 😀

  19. I just had a look at the mission file and there is no restriction on it. I guess everyone is keeping their heads in their own cockpit? Or are external views in any form allowed?

    1. Su-33 is available only for Russia. There is a mod that allows same units on both coalitions but hey who would want an Su-33 to dogfight when the 27 is available 😉

    1. Hi HJ !
      Red side aircrafts start inside hangars so you need to get out of it before you can refuel 🙂
      Bond doesn’t seem to have showed up. He is asking for a reschedule as he’s on a business trip but reschedule should have been requested 48h before the start of the match so once again you’ll walk over to the next round as soon as I receive your no show screenshots.

  31. Gentlemen!
    I am in troubles!
    I am in business trip for 2weeks.
    In Germany right now and will comeback home for 2 days only in 15 and 16 of September just for refuel and rearm, and next i will go at Moscow.
    If it is possible- i would like to reschedule my missed fights.
    If it is not possible- please excuse me for no show!.

    1. Hi Bond !
      Now that is too bad, why haven’t you requested a reschedule on Friday or before as it needs to be submitted 48h before the start of the match ?
      I would like to grant you the reschedule but unfortunately, I do have to stick to the rules.
      Thank you for your participation and see you on the next event. S!

    2. Hi KOT, thank you for uploading the match track, I’ve watched it, and I could see that you broke some rules :

      – External views ON : they should be OFF, please download mission again as it has been updated.

      – The take off wasn’t synchronized with Acid Freak , you were airborne way before him.

      However, I haven’t received any complaint from Acid Freak. Please stick to the Rules Of Engagement to avoid any penalty in your upcoming match.

      Remark : Why does your aircraft’s nose wave up and down continuously ? Maybe joystick calibration ?

      Regards

  34. Hi gents,
    Draw for the 1 vs 1 guns only contest has been updated. 4 pilots left as we are hitting the semi-final stage .

  37. Hi KOT, thank you for uploading the match track, I’ve watched it, and I could see that you broke some rules :

    – External views ON : they should be OFF, please download mission again as it has been updated.

    Acid was host, i can do nothing with external views (but i dont use it at all)

    – The take off wasn’t synchronized with Acid Freak , you were airborne way before him.

    Bkz i said him to wait READY signal but he ignore it. (and he was wrote GO constantly)

    However, I haven’t received any complaint from Acid Freak. Please stick to the Rules Of Engagement to avoid any penalty in your upcoming match.

    I read and understand the rules.

    Remark : Why does your aircraft’s nose wave up and down continuously ? Maybe joystick calibration ?

    its special 🙂 i just to fun myself
    Regards

  38. BTW

    You need to edit DOWNLOADED mission to have extarnals OFF
    You need to open it an switch externals ON, save, swithc OFF then save again.
    Only then externals will be OFF when hosting !

    It is a bag or something. Bars helped me with this 🙂

    2. Roger that SM. However Zerol has not sent me the track of his match with Gaanalma.
      The track needs to be sent to validate the result. I have sent him 2 reminders but got no reply so far.
      Please let him know if you ever speak to him. I don’t want to disqualify him because of that, he might be away or something.
      But if he leaves me no choice I will. Thanks.

    2. LMAO !!!!
      Wonderful fair-play and mindset HJ ! it’s a been a pleasure having you in this event !
      Keep sharpening your knife as next event is already around the corner 😀

    1. Track from KOT received through the upload widget and has been approved. Congratulations even though I’m still a bit confused about all the stunts on your way to combat zone 🙂
      @HJ : Track is required from winner only, but you can still share it if you want to 🙂
      EDIT : Track received HJ, thanks ! I have replied via email 😉

    2. @SM : KOT failed to provide tracks for all rounds, as the winner of the match he has to do so.
      Consequently, you can request a rematch if you wish.
      I will wait 24 hours before validating the final match result.

        1. Roger that. I will validate match result after receiving KOT’s last round track.
          Highlight video of the event along with official results are being worked on and will be published asap.
