Nice looking map.  Are those colors posted taken from it?

Colors are controlled by HTC, all terrain and sky setup MUST use the same tiles, hench the same coloring. If they didn't DownLoads would be huge, and not fair to those stuck on dial-up


Years ago (2000+) i used to play in H2h and even made a few of my own maps. I don't really remember if there was an option to change the color of the water but the sky, sun and many other aspects of the game could be changed. Again, nice work on the map, I'll be trying it out some more tonight.

wierd thing,
when the map first came up we were defending A150. While taking off, an RV8 spawned up and flew around for a bit. I flew next to him for a bit as I was surprised to see one then thought I I'd have some fun and I ditched right away to get one, but they were not listed in the hanger.

I tried .show RV8 and got nothing. Shame, woulda been fun to up a dozen of them against the horde that was attacking.

Anyone else see this happen?


They are probably enabled at a few of the bases. I shot a RV8 down at one of the center bases last night.

As a side note.. it would be nice to have the big maps in Orange and the small maps in Blue. While this map is new and looks good eventually it will wear on us and likely never get reset in Blue. I've been flying Blue lately to get away from the monster sized maps in Orange. Now both areas have big maps that make my eyes hurt to look at the clip board.  :rolleyes:

Looks like 3D planes rendered on top of a real life terraian.. The water and the island is a real picture not rendered in 3D.

It's really a stunning image........and also my new desktop....

someday I'm sure we'll have terrain that looks like that.....most likely on an AH 3D hologram presentation in the middle of our livingroom.....rather than on a monitor.......

I believe the command to enable the RV8 is .show rv

A while ago oboe and I found out they were enabled, so we took two up to fight the horde.  It was great, we were twisting and turning in at least 7 baddies, none of which could get an angle on us.  Eventually oboe got shot down, getting one proxy kill in the process.  I had 2 proxies on me, and tried to rtb after getting torn up.  Never made it back, all of them pounced on me like a kid at fat camp on a candy bar. 

It was the best fun I had had in awhile though.

The dot command for the rv-8 is .showrv (no spaces.)  :aok

I heard all are disabled because the map creator was using an older version of the map editor...pre wribles, 25's and 39's.
