maybe time to retire some maps?

[The Fugitive]

Someone didn't catch the sarcasm in fugitive's post..

BINGO !!

.....I wish I had the ability to do it, I am retired and have a lot of time  on my hands. However the only computer experience I had was the computers in our cruisers and I was just about smart enough to get DMV information out of it. I have only had a home computer since 04.

I have the ability, but not the time. How about you go back to work and provide for my family, and I'll get to work on some new maps !   If I'm lucky I have another 10 years untill I can retire, but I'm sure I'll be working into my 70's

And thanks for the info guys, most appreciated and helps e understand the painstaking amount of time it takes to make a new map!

I remember when the AKs were working on the desert map they built. Even with a bunch of the AKs testing different parts of the map it was still talked about for around 6 months before we saw it. To make a MA map is a LOT of work.

my SARCDAR must be playing up ...

To make a MA map is a LOT of work.

As some-one who has merely played with the Terrain Editor I think that is still something of an understatement. The work involved is Huge!

For those asking about editing:
I'm no expert, but I do appreciate the Maps we use are the compiled result of all sorts of data files. You can't edit a compiled map, you need the files it was built from to do that. Even then it is not going to be easy going.

One of the upsides to AH is that people can, if they have the desire to do it, put a map together. To get one approved is to take the skill to another level again. Aircraft skins, sounds etc. have been done by players with the desire and enthusiasm to get stuck in. Perhaps some feedback on what would be a good map with the current set of GVs & Aircraft would be useful, so that a builder might have at least some chance of devoting his/her time to a Map that is not met with scorn and critisim!

A malfunctioning SARCDAR is never a good thing, but this little bit "From what I've heard, if you spend most of your free time, and get some help from friends to help test it, you should be able to get one through in about 6 months.

Good luck, I look forward to flying your new map." Made it kinda obvious lol

AVA and FSO maps are not made to the same exacting standards the MA maps MUST be made to. Also many are only 2 sided where the MAs are 3. MAs MUST be 3 because HTC has deemed it the best number of sides to make better game play.

Maps are player made. Mostly because HTC is busy doing other things and they do have a dozen MA maps now.....blah blah blah...make your own map

Good luck, I look forward to flying your new map.

Thats Just cold


I see nothing wrong with 2 sided maps,,,might even work out better than WWl which I never see anyone in.

One of my favorite maps is OKANSAS but it's to easy to take. If HTC wanted to tweak that one map or maybe 2 out of their set and make capture, ammo ect. harder maybe it would last longer and give a better challange.

you don't like it make your own map....tisk tisk
