New Terrain in the AVA--guadalcanal

[CAP1]

THERE is a green/grey skin for the wildcat.

THERE is a green/grey skin for the wildcat.

If I have all the skins loaded, can I change the default setting so I see the bandits in teh skin I want to see? That's kind of a cheat in my opinion but I'm wondering if it's possible? 

[jimson]

I know of no such setting to disable other players skins and if I was aware of such a setting I would not be at liberty to discuss it.

[Vinkman]

Yes but that won't help because there is no guarentee that the bandits will have that skin downloaded. in which case they will see the default skin.

[Dichotomy]

*snip*

This is probably not due entirely to the no enemy icons setting, but that is one more thing that clearly sets the arena apart from others.

And we have way cool maps with weather and varying times of day and other way cool stuff.

the best you can do is -- options/graphic settings/disable other player skins

you will only see whatever the default skin is in the hangar as dictated by htc...

won't help you any though...tonight i'm not giving up my alt unless it's to chase you into the ground...

crazy was sitting just off the south end of A1 shelling it last night.

 that crazy dood. 

YA I was having a blast watching ya all trying to egg my M4 that night but the sad thing is after sitting there for almost 45 minutes tracked someone finally got me and at the same time my supplies showed up, but the best part was (sorry Atticus4) was the HE Rounds I was lobbing into his cockpit as he was trying to strafe me , then I moved on and shut down A5 that night but no one came to play so I figured I would try and get a base take out of it. Other then that it Was fun chasing jaeger around in his jeep and all man those little buggers go fast.

I will be back shelling a base near you thursday night

the only thing that kept me from coming to play, was that i need the time in the air right now,.

[K-KEN]

gotta make another trip in tonight k-ken...should be a good number of people in there...and as always it will be unpredictable 

Last night was too tired. Had lots going on today taking my 89 year old dad to the dr for a checkup and all. Wed is squad night and so far I haven't seen any of them in over a week!   

This arena and the settings are kinda like the night time too. Too many folks hated it, but I loved it.  This NO Icon setting is similar in a way. Look for me to pop in a bit more often. Make sure you check 6 first!

For the record, I *have* tried no icons. I've flown in it AH abit, and I've flown that way in Il2 abit more. My comments stand. Yesterday, went into AvA long enough to engage two different pilots in zekes while flying a P-39. I could tell by the way they were flying that they lost sight of me practically every time we went into a turn. Iconography is not perfect but it beats that sillyness.

Somewhere in an old thread, I asked something to the effect if its harder in R/L to keep sight of a bandit while dogfighting than it is with icons, Hitech answered to the effect "No, its easier in R/L".

i wish those silly zeek pile-its would lose sight of my wildcat......

Well, thanks for trying it BnZs.

Take care.

i had been talking to soulss in our squad forum. i had misunderstood why it was giving him fits. i had taken a screenie from the film of a fight, and marked where the cons....both good and bad were.

 for him, it's a color thing it seems. it may be like that for others too.

 that's part of why i'm putting together the coral sea one. it'll be all over water, and regardless of color of paint, the cons are generally easier to spot over water.

 perhaps this is bnz's problem too........or he just isn't taking to it........either way.......i'm glad to see the massive influx of new names lately, and am glad to be just a tiny part of that.

 i am also thankful for you guys that make the skins, maps, set the arena settings, keep the peace so to speak, and work your tulips off so we all can have a very unique and fun playground to play in.,

[jimson]

I don't think BnZ has any problems dealing with it. He just doesn't care for the settings.
That's cool, we all like different things.
