Please report any 3points terrain bugs you come across here
« on: February 14, 2023, 01:59:16 PM »
Maineac1 and others have discovered that you can drive into and out of maps rooms. The suspect base was A61

Also, I have noticed that there is an imbalance in distance to travel between countries in regards to attacking a city from the nearest base on the enemies island. 2 countries have the HQ closest while 1 country has the city closest. This adds an additional flight time of 5-10 minutes versus other countries. Please have a look and consider changing the placement of the HQ and city for one country who has that advamtage which is the southern most country.

Flew through clouds at about 7k, lost all icons.  :bhead

It turns out film shows the loss of icons after going through cloud. It's the same thing like on ETOMA

Any base with Map Room on the base, you can drive into. ndilse tank town bases have the same thing.

Shore battery at A91 faces inland.  Also, SBs at P139 are attached to A33.

Great to have a new map.  Thanks for all the effort!   :salute

Me 163B is still enabled everywhere. And at least for the Knights on position #3, all AA bases have everything enabled, from Komet to B-29.
(I might add that being able to do a resupply run either in m3 or C-47 in less than 3 Minutes to the factories is definitely a bad thing for gameplay)

And for the loss of icons, it's not an isolated occurrence. The participants of the big 30k bomber raid yesterday for the most part had no icons, as well as some Jabos heading for the strats. I had to fly following the map icon and shutting my engine on and off to locate them, as I simply can't see a fighter past 100 yards without icons. That absolutely has to get fixed on this map and ETOMA ASAP.

There will always be a bug hidden somewhere, but the missing icon thing seriously needs to be addressed. 2 cents.

GV icons were not showing for me until 600k. Not sure if that’s just me.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Isn't that about standard icon range from a plane for non-moving GV? VehicleSeenIconRange for planes set at 3750 in the arena settings, which is (if I recall correctly) the max icon distance in feet for moving vehicles. Not moving would halve that range.

Not sure but I haven seen it at 1000 other maps. Might have been me not paying attention.

I do agree that 3 minute resup runs are bad for overal gameplay but....
HT approves and ill deal with it <S>

Most of the maps that have gv access to the strats, take 3 1/2 to 4 minutes for the m3's to get from the spawn to the strat.

Not enough airfields to engage the inner portion of the map. It feels like most fights will be pushed to the extremes edges.

It’s northco only a bigger lake and flatter ground. That’s me anyway.
