Mission Theater in AvA this Tuesday!!
« on: December 03, 2016, 11:42:24 PM »
We especially need pilots to fly the axis side.

It starts at 9pm est.

What you do is be in the arena before 9pm. Go to staged missions-populate mission. Click on your name and then double click on the slot you want. You will automatically spawn into the mission. Unclaimed slots will be flown by AI.

What kind of mission will it be? Well, you will just have to be there and in the mission by 9pm est to see the briefing.

If you are late you can always try joining the mission in progress, but for whatever reason, that doesn't always work.

Here's a video to get you pumped for it.  http://missiontheater.net/video

STAGED MISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS.

When in the tower, click "staged missions" on your
clipboard and then "populate mission" Click on your
name in the list on the left side of the panel, then
double click the slot you want under Allies or Axis
section.
In this mission, Allies are listed as blue3, red2 etc. All these slots
are Spitfire MK V. Axis slots are listed by plane model.

When mission starts, you will automatically spawn into the
briefing room and then into a plane.If you wish to leave
the mission, go back to mission populate, click on your
name and click unassign.

Lol that biscuit guy isn't just for the video. If that vid was meant just to be an artistic endeavor, I would have done something like you suggest.

It was to show everything we are actually doing.

We use animated characters on the website for briefings and such.

I apologize folks

I had to be in a neighboring town because my Grandmother was having hip surgery and we didn't know if she would survive it.

Obviously something went wrong. The mission was fully tested numerous times in a custom arena but it wont run in AvA. In fact no mission will run in the AvA right now.

Sorry to leave Jaeger holding the bag, but it wouldn't have run for me either.

The timing couldn't have been worse. After advertising the heck out of it. We get quite a few people in and now we look like fools.

I'll spend the next week trying to figure out what happened.

I am really, really sorry about this.

Jimson,
First off, I hope your Grandmother's surgery was successful and she's doing okay.
Even though the mission didn't run, we had quite a few players in the AvA last night, everyone was patient and really tried to get the thing working. Eventually we switched back to the standard AvA format using your arena setup and we all had a great time furballing over the channel. It was pretty cool to see the players and CM working together to make it all happen. Hats off to Jeager for being able to end the evening on such a good note. I'll take a Tuesday night like that over one in the MA anytime.
