Battle Of Britain 2013 Scenario Registration Now Open

[Guppy35]

I think what BaldEagl is pointing out that both show up time and start time are stated as 3:00 PM. Gonna have to fix that

[Krusty]

Oh.... that....

Ya, can probably clean that language up a bit but the event does include the briefing period, after the lock, as actually part of the event. There needs to be time to make adjustments for turnout, get people in squads, get the walkons actually briefed and up to speed.  So technically, the event does actually Start at 3:00.  Flight is enabled 30 minutes later.  Late is after 3:00.

Looking forward to fly Hurricanes for the RAF, I better hurry up and buy a mic haha

[BaldEagl]

It makes perfect sense. It's been discussed ad nauseum. People showed up at launch time far too much and screwed the entire event. Forcing them to get there before it locks allows everything to be prepared PROPERLY before launch. Less scrambling. Less nonsense. Less problems. Less stress. Those that cared about participating always showed up at LEAST 30 minutes early anyways.

Show up time is 3:00 and the scenario starts at 3:00.  Where does the 30 minutes come from?

NM, you have to go halfway through the detailed rules write-up to find that launch time is at 3:30.  If that's the case it sounds to me like the scenario starts at 3:30 no?

No, the scenario starts at 3:00 pm edt, flight starts at 3:30 pm edt.

Flight is enabled at 3:30.  No where does it suggest the event "starts" when flight is enabled.

  Not everything can be at the top. Everything is in the rules, and it should all be read so really, where it is shouldn't matter at all.

Then why even mention the half hour in the general write up?

[Krusty]

So that people understand "doors locked" does NOT equate to "take off"....

Judging by your response, I'd say it's warranted.

I'm not trying to start an argument and I do know how scenarios work.  As the the write up is written it mentions a 30 minute set up time completely out of the blue with no context.  To me the way it's written up means if the arena lock time is 3:00 I better be there by 3:00 but it also means if the scenario starts at 3:00 I better be there by 2:30.

Again, not trying to start an argument but that part of the write up is fluffied up.  Hard to believe from such a perfectionist as ROC.

Anyway this brief experience has soured the experience for me so unregister me.  I simply try to question how somethings wrtitten and get jumed on.  Don't need it.

[Guppy35]

Relax, sleep on and then decide BE.  You know how it works.  Now focus on getting ready to fly it...or not

[Krusty]

I don't think you were "jumped on" at all, BE. Nor do I think you were just asking a question if you already knew the answer. I can only ask what you were trying to say by posing the question. I replied honestly as if you didn't know (though I rather knew you knew the answer already) in an attempt to educate others on the forum.

No need for drama. Just fly the scenario and have some fun. You know you want to. You know you'll enjoy it.
