Whether this thread was serious or not, I have a terrain for you guys to check out.  Thought it might be good for SDL. :salute

Are the walls high enough to block out the sun?

HAHA That other thread took every bit of 21 minutes to get locked  :neener:

No I agree with the distinction being made between hoing and jousting, but this would be nearly impossible to implement.  If there were a way to adjust mid-air collisions it would become easier, but as far as I know it's only on or off.  All I'm saying about turning collisions off would be that it would make it so that the ONLY damage done is a result of gunfire.  This would make it unnecessary to draw that distinction, and a good pilot would be able to maneuver in a way that damage to his plane would be minimized, but still getting cockpit shots on the other plane.

If you wanted to make it like a joust.. with walls and each plane staying on each side of the wall, but shooting over it... well I don't know.. I think that's just going to be a big fail.  If there were some way to build a semi-transparent wall that allowed rounds to travel through it, but not planes... then that would be ideal, but I don't believe this option exists.

Crap, I posted the wrong files. I posted the TE files for it.  In a minute I will post the terrain .res file.  When I do, simply download it, drop it into your AHIITERR folder and load it offline.  Sorry for the mix up. :salute

The walls aren't as tall as you were talking about, but that would take about 5 minutes to change.

Doesn't matter, sun shines through the mountains anyway.  :lol

Definately like Ranger's joust map as have played his offline missions, however isn't a joust arena be the same concept as a dueling arena?  All you do is go to the North East corner of the map and you have 2 bases on high separated by low valley...  :salute

Now go take your narcissistic attitude and go run for president or something...

Hey SunBat, if you were President, what would you use for Air Force One?

I have given this question the most thought above all other issues when I realized that I will be getting a nomination to run for the Presidency.  I have decided that I will require a 109-K4 painted in the Air Force One scheme for my transportation.  I will be my own pilot (of course).  The rest of my cabinet and entourage can travel ahead of me in that big, gay 747 and do whatever they want – I don’t care really.  The rest of the Muppets will be my airborne Secret Service and they will each get an all black 262 with the canopy tinted dark black.  We will be rollin’ and the rest of the world will be hatin’.  Just like in AH.  Boo-yeah.
