Hi Tech needed!

[hammer]

I don't see where fixing a problem,(CV launches with posted missions), should be a problem for anyone.

The biggest problem has already been posted: someone creating a "mission" to hold the CV straight while it is killed. This will happen, and it will happen more than legitimate missions are launched off CVs. Besides how something might improve one aspect of the game, you must consider how a change will be used to the detriment of the game. There are many more gamers and griefers than there are people looking for an accurate simulation.

or learn how to take off from a turning cv 

The heavier the plane the awesome the challenge

The heavier the plane the awesome the challenge

yep, and if the people in your horde mission aren't up to the challenge, equip them lighter..


that's besides the point anyway, as has been pointed out, being able to lock the cv course would be used by griefers... just keep posting missions and never launch them so the cv course could be tied up indefinitely.


there already is a system in place if you absolutely must have control of the cv course. the score/rank system.

funny thing is people don't realize the seek only uses half the cv to take off

Those of you that have negative comments don't have a clue what happened.

Actually, I'm pretty sure we do. I like Earl, as well, but carrier turnings during take-offs
are just a part of Aces High. Better to have your CV turn at a moment's notice when
necessary than have someone play mission commander with it and hold it straight
indefinitely by just loading a mission over and over (yes, Randy, someone would).

[RotBaron]

ummmm, hmmm.    

Trying to get powers that be attention(s) with all capitalized (letters) statements prolly aint going to get the type of attention you're looking for...jus sayin.



Why do you think someone turned the cv as your mission was trying to take off? Were they messing with you?

Cvs actually take several moments to respond to the change in course and you can see in the text buffer who just changed it and anticipate when its going to start moving. While you are on the runway F3 mode is available, it's not to make the game arcade like, it's to give a fair opportunity to take off...some safety from vulching, wirbs at end of runway, eny cv fire landing on your deck...see?

[Tinkles]

Flaps all the way down, full power, wep and that big thing on the back of your plane, the r-u-dd-er.

Seriously, while I have had the newbie moments on crashing on takeoffs... this would be seriously abused as others have said. IF earl can't figure this out, then I"m afraid he isn't too smart. Plain and simple.

-1 to the wish for being abused and keeping cvs in a straight line.  I've seen missions where the cv has been destroyed right when the mission was taking off, and some lucky guy got a whole bunch of kills.
However, this wish speaks volumes to me.

While I understand where you are coming from Earl. How hard is it to take control of the cv (or have a trusted squaddie or mission go-er take control with a high score) and keep it straight about 1 minute before the mission launches?   

Everything else has already been said that needs to be, I won't further re-elaborate on things that have already been stated.

I think Earl's plenty smart and he's got some life experiences under his belt I surely envy.
I just think he's still getting his Aces High 'sea legs.'

I don't see where fixing a problem,(CV launches with posted missions), should be a problem for anyone. BTW, this wish is not just my point of view, as plenty of players in the game have complained about the same thing before.

The problem is that your way will be abused. The second problem is you refuse to see that.

Earl has done more with pickup missions than anyone else I Know or know of.  I was on that mission.   I got off but I was lucky.  Those of you that have negative comments don't have a clue what happened.

Earl takes a big group that have rarely flown together, molds them into a pickup mission in just a few minutes.  He does that with with understanding for the newbie as well as the veteran. If you blow your assignment, "That's okay buddy."  he might say.

Learn to take off on a Hard turning CV with full load out can be done but do that with 30 planes taking off, you guys just don't know.

A big +1 Earl.

...and you have been here .....how long? I've run more pick up missions than Earl has run and I haven't run one in years.

We know what happened even if we weren't there. Why? Because we have seen it happen....some of us hundreds of times in the almost 11 years I've been in this game. WE DO KNOW!

I appreciate that Earl puts up missions and I've even tagged along behind a few. The problem is he is a bit blind on this issue.

An open wish to Hi Tech! Without question, this is the best flight sim game on line, but, we need your help! It happened again last night! I had a mission posted from an aircraft carrier, with 31 players in the mish. Just as soon as the mish launched, some idiot turned the boat! Of course, all kinds of crashes and confusion prevailed! There is no excuse for this, as you, sir, have the authority to correct something which is totally uncalled for. IF A PERSON POST'S A MISSION FROM A CV, FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE MISSION IS POSTED, NO ONE, NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO TAKE CONTROL OF THAT CV UNTIL AFTER THE MISSION LAUNCHES, EXCEPT THE PERSON WHO POSTED THE MISSION, IN CASE IT HAD TO BE TURNED DUE TO AN ATTACK, THEN HE COULD DELAY THE TAKEOFF OF THE MISSION!! We are only talking about a 10 or 12 minute period of time which the CV is tied up, launching the mission. I don't want hear any of this BS about the lowest ranked pilot being able to control the boat during a posted mission, because that doesn't fly!! We are not talking about tieing up the boat for 20 or 30 minutes, just the time in which the mission is posted!

You / your mission doesn't own the CV

Other players (with the required rank) are perfectly entitled to use it as well

[Old Sport]

What if? (cause I don't know  )

What if a Mission had the option to BUY control of a CV with perk points for ~3 minutes.

Make the cost high enough to thwart single players, but reasonable for a mission. All mission participants share in the perk payment (at least everyone who has perks to contribute).

If the CV gets sunk during those 3 mins you lose the points. If not, no sweat.

No one, no matter what the rank, can override a "paid-for" CV.

After the 3 minutes control reverts to the previous owner.

Missions could stll choose to launch without buying control, but then might be subject to a turning CV.

This option might be worth considering, but what the heck do I know -- 

Best

[RedBull1]

HAHAHAHA.








That is all.

granting this wish http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,352451.0.html would cure that

Uncalled for but then you named yourself after a urinary function.

OK, guys, I finally get it! This is not a game of precision and skill when it comes to launching missions off the CV, it is just a game of chance and luck! You take a chance when you post the mission and then you depend on luck that some nitwit doesn't come along and turn the boat just to screw up your planned mission!

And "Tinkles", when you get more flight hours than I do in real aircraft and every instructor certificate which the FAA issues, and type ratings in DC-3, C-46, DC-4, DC-6B and 954 hours in the B-29C, then you will have the right to judge where or not I am "stupid"! Until then, you really need to keep your fly trap shut!
