A157 on Compello map

[1DOGFITE]

<S> Sir,

I would like to inform the staff that there has been a glitch within the game concerning a map that has a GV spawn from A157 to A214.  It is impossible to plan a GV mission from this A157 Base to A214 due to the fact that there is no "Start Flight" box to choose from.  In order to spawn from A157 to A214 is to type in ".fly 1" manually.  Due to this glitch, is the reason I have named the map....157 glitch map.

Thank you for your time in this matter.

Sincerely,

1DOGFITE

What terrain was it?

[The Fugitive]

What terrain was it?

  It was the one that was in Late War Orange that the Bish won this morning.

You need to be specific. Main arena maps have their name in the upper right portion of the map.

It is the COMPELLO map.....157 "Start Flight" box impossible to plan and post a GV mission to 214.

I tried a couple vehicles, wouldn't let me spawn west.  There was already a friendly GV over there.  Am I missing something?

The spawn button that a spawn point gets assigned to is determined by the direction the spawn point faces and not the location of the point relative to the field.  In this case both remote spawns face southwest; and since only one spawn point can have the button, the last point added during the making of the terrain to call the SW button gets it.  Therefore, you have to use one of the .fly commands to get to the west spawn point.  But which: .fly 0; .fly 1; or .fly 2?

Since there are only three vehicle spawn points from that field and we know that .fly 0 is always in the Hanger and the last SW spawn (.fly 2) using the SW Button did not go to the West spawn like we hoped, then .fly 1 must be the command to move west and indeed it is.  As you can see, it is all quit elementary my dear Watson.

[Jayhawk]

Well I have definitely learned something, and I thank you for that.

However, wouldn't it be elementary if I could just click on the button to take me west?

[1DOGFITE]

This is what I have been trying to say to Aces High Staff to correct.  The spawn arrow is there on the map, but the "Start Flight" box has no box to left click on to spawn in that direction.  This is from A157 to A214, hense, the 157 glitch map......However; it is the Compbello Map.

[1DOGFITE]

At A157, it is impossible to plan and post a gv mission from A157 to A214 dur to the start flight box not having a directional spawn to that base.  There is a Spawn point line on the map,  but no box in the "Start Flight Box" to choose from.  This looks like and easy glitch to fix....let's get 'er done.

I'm sure that map makers do their best to get the bugs off their maps before they get used by the public, but there are hundreds of details and it is easy to miss a few.  This problem is relatively easy to fix by rotating that western spawn so it face west and then putting the terrain through a process to get it on the servers that is so difficult and mysterious and fraught with danger that it boggles the mind and sends mere mortals screaming into the night.  Only those who can keep themselves and their fear under complete control and are fully trained in the black arts of computer science are allowed to attempt such a feat.  These stalwart individuals are nearly superhuman but they still can not read minds and need our help by giving as much information about the problem as possible -- such as the name of the terrain in this case.

As Skuzzy said, "Help me help you."
