[skribetm]

beautiful terrain USRanger. well done & congratulations!

[USRanger]

After the scenario tonight, I invite all of ya to the AvA for some serious PTO furballing.  If it's anything like last night, there will be a ton of non-stop action.

well.....first off, it would be somewhat difficult to get a light in my face....and rather painful. secondly, once it was placed in my face......how would i turn it on, and how would it dilate my pupils? 

Here you go Logan.  I think he has to swallow it first.   Then......




I think this might turn it on....



Nevermind, that makes you go blind.........  haven't figured the dilated part yet 



Ranger,

Nice job sir.  You guys get in there and take screen shots.  My video card died, and I will be working on another system so that I can at least get a PCIe card.  Post screenies please.

any chance we could get an image of the map?

if you can spot targets in the other arenas, you can spot them here too.

Nice terrain, but .... is it my monitor or is the sky color just a tad too purple ?

i see bnzs is still pouting...should go to an airshow with a good rangefinder...learn some things

it might be...the sky settings can be modified in the arena table and the colors you see are dependent on how your monitor renders them...i've noticed some purple at times too, but i'm usually too busy admiring the parts flying off my toon plane to pay much attention.

if i had to take a guess, that con in the pic you linked is in the ballpark of 1,000 to 1,500 yards, although i'm not totally sure. i know i'd lose him in a low fight......

That's due to my offline settings which showed up in the film viewer.

Wasn't your screenshots ... I took a flight around yesterday.

Wow!  USRanger, you've done magic!  My compliments! 

I wish we could have some MA arena's with that "flavor" of map.  I get real tired of the same map flavor all the time...

I'm even tempted to give the AvA another shot... 

Alas, no planes I'm interested in...

No, you are still insisting on the provably incorrect notion that computer screens can give anywhere near a realistic representation of a human's visual acuity. There isn't really even any debate about this. You don't think a real pilot can ID a plane from 2,500 yards? Tallys have occured in clear air at 25 *miles*.

I can tell a Mooney from a Cessna at 6,000 feet distance...and I wear glasses.  BTW, that collection of pixels is a 109K4 at far less than half a mile. That screenie more or less proves my point without another argument needing to be made. No icons simulate legally blind pilots, and making that the "default" setting in the AvA is yet another example of that arena shooting itself in the foot in terms of popularity.
