January '13 KOTH and Official 2012 wKOTH and TOC information.
« on: January 01, 2013, 01:32:24 PM »
New month and new year so here comes January 2013 KOTH information and more importantly to some, the official 2012 KOTH Tournament Of Champions news.

   Regular and only remaining KOTH, FriKOTH, will be held Fryday 18 January 2013 @5PM EST in SEA2 with first plane the Ki-84-Ia.

   Saturday 12 January 2013 will see the 2012 wKOTH and TOC. Both of these are invitation ONLY events. I generally allow spectators to watch as CM Eye is enabled IF and ONLY IF they do not disrupt the event in any way, and that's at my discretion.

   wKOTH will lead off the day starting at 1PM EST on 12 January 2013 in SEA2 with the Bf 109G-6 being the first crate.
Those invited to the wKOTH are: wKOTH: blukitty, Google, MickyD, MK84, pattonjr, Quendian, SCOTCH, SFOX, Skifurd, SunsFan, TC, VlPER.

   The Tournament Of Champions will follow at 4PM EST on 12 January 2013 in SEA2 with the Fw 190D-9 the first ride.
Those invited to the TOC are: TOC: Bruv119, Debrody, DeJaVu, DrBone, Fester, HiTech, JETSOM, JOACH1M, JunkyII, Krupnski, Loser, MegaDave, pervert, RedBull. Sukov, VaIen, Yahoo, yarbles, 1CEMAN.

Unbolded names have indicated they will not attend the event and of course the winner of the wKOTH advances into the TOC.

We are back into the 'desperate need of KOTH CMs' mode again. If interested contact fuzeman for more information.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

We still have no cloud file for koth08. I'm still begging for one though.

We still have no cloud file for koth08. I'm still begging for one though.

Good news  :) We have clouds  :D  68falcon stepped up and made the KOTH Team and KOTH players some clouds. Give him a Thank-you when you see him.

They are different from the old ones though and we knew there would be changes as there are with all new editors.

They seem to be thicker which will reduce or eliminate that blinding sun in the eye thing. We'll have to see how bright clouds work in the event, they looked great on a solo flight.
There is however a small gap between 6,000 feet altitude and the beginning of that cloud layer. We will have to adjust the 6k hard cap some but not much.

We will still have the 6k hard cap rule in place AND wind will start at max updraft AT 6k. Clouds are very apparent at about 6,050.
If you are fighting and go above 6,000 and DO NOT enter the clouds you will be allowed to continue.
If you are fighting and go above 6,000 and ENTER the clouds you will be disqualified and asked to bail and end flight.
You will be grounded if you do not end flight.
Again though, wind will still start right at 6k and push you up into those disqualifying clouds.

This is along the same line or logic that I use when I use the radar circle as our distance boundry opposed to the map's crater walls.

Feel free to state your opinion or comments.

Hello VuduVee,
only the "wKOTH wildcard tournament" ( for wabbit qualifiers )  and the "KOTH TOC ( tournament of Champions )"  is invitation only.............. these 2 events are for players who either won a monthly KOTH event during 2012 or were able to win 2 rounds during an event and obtained "wabbit status"

The January KOTH event scheduled for  Friday @ 5:00pm EST on Jan. 18th, 2013 is open to all players who want to participate

come join the fun and the great aerial combat fights

hope this helps   <S>

TC is correct, only the 'playoffs' are invitation only. If not a distraction you can stop in and watch to see how it goes and get a feel for the event.
TOC winner gets a plaque similar to this:


Seems like the January KOTH will be held so the one on the 18Th you can fly in. It does take an event or three to be familiar with the rules and develop your technique.

There seems to be a problem with SEA2 at the moment and I am unable to change terrains. I will keep you posted.
