Sounds fun, Fork. :)

Which terrain? If you want to use the weather file that's in the CT now, just have Skuzzy rename it to match the terrain name when you switch it over.

Sounds good except for this:

“FRIENDLY COLLISIONS ON - note, take extra care when landing and taking off, especially from carriers.”

So if two guys spawn on the CV at the same time they both die?  That’s dumb.  Virtual Russian Roulette.  Can it be turned off on the ground and on in the air?

This going up midnight? I'll stay on a little while longer tonight and introduce all the hog drivers to the excellent Ki84... :D

And if eskimo thinks it dumb, all the more reason to stick to the plan Stan! :aok

Honestly though, if the F4U-1C is in the N1K2-J should be in.  They have practically the same service periods and locations, though there were twice as many N1K2-Js as F4U-1Cs.  The two mirror eachother remarkably well.

It's killing me to get in the CT and give it a shot......only problem is when are there folks in there?  I check it before logging to the MA and it is almost always empty.  Then I forget about it.  So when is a good time to check it for activity?

P.S. The CT sounds like it has the potential to be more like AH was when it was $30 bucks a month vs the craziness that it is now.  I don't mind the mass numbers of players....I just don't like the silly stuff on the text buffer (open AND country channel).

I'm not sure I understand this setup.   Why limit the US forces to a single fighter model airframe?

I thought the CT was more about historically accurate theaters with regard to time/place/combatants.    One of the complaints people seem to have with the CT is limited planesets, and it seems with this setup we've gone out of our way to limit the planeset.    Kind of like this week with no P-51B or P-38J.   Certainly these planes were available during the time and place being depicted, and being less capable than their later siblings - what would be the harm in having them enabled?  

I don't mean to be a wet blanket - I've noticed a resurgence in the popularity in the CT, thanks in no small part to the recent great setups and VWE's open discussion of the effects of JG54 on the arena, and I'm glad for that.   But it looks to me like the CT is becoming more of an 'arranged match' arena, rather than a historically accurate arena.

Please, though -- consider making it a USN/USMC/USAAF vs IJ 1944 slugfest and enable the appropriate a/c.    I'd prefer as wide a variety of airframe choices as possible, dictated by the time/theater.

As always, thanks for your efforts in keeping the CT up and a viable alternative to the MA!

try around 2100-2200 any week night.  this set up should be popular.  the hog is highly unrepresented and the chog is never seen.  it should boil down to a hog vs Ki84/61 week.  if I were a hog driver I'd be in .... well you know.  :D

We recently talked about this in another thread, somewhere else, Oboe.  You're right, it really is something of an arranged match.  But it can be fun, and has been fun on other occasions with other planes.  It is still historical, of course - think of it as a representation of a narrower slice of the allied side.

For me, the basic value of this type of setup is that it forces me to fly a plane that I'd never choose to fly otherwise.  In a way, that's one of the nice things about the CT, and, as you point out, it's also one of the reasons why many people won't come here.

I much prefer the "forced matchups" to the "everything in the inventory at the time" setups, but I also understand why many dont like that.
