is there a way to turn off the dots, but leave the bar? it may chase too many away with no dar at all.....but if there's a bar.....at least they know what sector to look in.

 

yes we can do it. we can make it so you can see dots in the tower only too.

that'd be cool.....maybe try it for one of the challenges first....then if it seems well accepted, try it on normal nights? or possibly the other way 'round.

just shut up will ya! :D   dont worry about, all input is always appreciated, positive or negative!

ok give me through the weekend. ill have a neat little setup for you guys. big map, lots of bombers, escorts, no icons either side, objectives and ill need commanders for both sides.

now for your job, pick or find a large squad we can do this against. maybe even 2 squads.

preliminary will be rhine map, allies attacking, axis defending. we will need several commanders for different wings. again allies have to capture base to win!

last week, when you kept killing me.......i knew ya were there. i saw ya. i heard ya. i was getting "check six's" out the wazoo.

 my problem was that i got myself so focused on the target....especially when i managed to saddle up on one....that although i saw and heard ya, it didn't "register" that you were there.

 does that actually make sense?

It makes perfect sense, Cap.  What you experienced is in the real world, called "target fixation".  You get so entranced with the target and the need to finish it that even though hearing a check six, it is near impossible to break it off and let go.  It's a very common real world problem and in here.  I'm a frequent victim of it also.  It's like, just two more seconds, I've got him, and.....tink, tink, BOOM, and I'm kicking back in the tower.  :confused: I've become quite the expert at augering in when trying to strafe a ground target.  It takes years of practice and study but, perfection is achievable.  :lol   :salute

I have meetings on Thursday nights starting tonight.  That will be a good litmus test of my availability.  The rest of the weeknights Saturdays, and Sundays, I'm good.

This worked well for the BoB "This Day in History" a few weeks back. CM sat in the tower and called out raids, and we ended up with lots of good fights.

Seems like Tuesday and Saturday would allow everyone to attend at least one per week.

LOL...I would think that any day that doesn't have a popular special event going on would be prime for an AvA deelio. If all of us fans didn't have to work for a living, it wouldn't sit empty most of the time.
