Just sent out this e-mail to all FSO squads.

Gents,

Please forward this to your squads. We need as many as possible to show up for this SEA I test Thursday night at 9 PM Eastern.

68Falcon will run it. He will have some fields open. P-51's on one side and the Fw-190D on the other. We hope to have most of the FSO players and as many other MA players as possible show up.
With some luck the arena will crash. If it does, HTC wants us to lock it and then they can isolate the bug they are currently dealing with. If it does crash (that would be a good thing) don't bother to come back in. We will be locking it for HTC and they will take it from there.

- SEA I
- Thursday night at 9 PM Eastern
- Pick a side and be ready to launch

We appreciate all the help we can get.

<S>

It is our hope that we will have numbers close to a regular FSO night. Please share it with your squad and get as many as possible to attend.

I posted this in the AK forum.  Unfornutately, Thursday night in my bowling league so I'll be not there.

I would suggest making announcements in the MA's and WW1 arenas 15 minutes ahead of the test.  Appeal to everyone playing to help test, and maybe pinpoint, a major bug.

We will PFactor. Hopefully that will pull in a lot more players.

It might be a good idea to have everyone in the tower like during an FSO and everyone jump OTR the same time.  During the FSO there wasn't a problem until people went OTR.
If people file in steadily it might not crash it but the sudden flood of people might make a difference.

Exactly what we had in mind. Open fields and launch all at once. The major factor is to get as many players in the arena as possible.

Please let everyone know that if it crashes do not reenter the arena. It will be locked as soon as humanly possible but some one may slip in.

Would it also help to launch LOTS of buffs with drones as well.. Would that push the envelope harder? Just thinking..  :salute

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

I am thinking of having formations enabled
Allied would have a base for P51D and another for B25
Axis a base with BF109 and another for JU87

when every one is ready open fields and see what happens
