Anyone check the arena in last few minutes?

[Sabre]

Skuzzy left a cryptic message ini the CT Staff forum, saying he reset the arena with an updated Finland-Russia terrain.  Anyone been in there yet?  Is it the winter terrain?

...a finn-russ corpse-cicle...!  Yessir it is winter in Finlandia!:cool:

Excellent! I'll need to re-do some aircraft/vehicle assignments, based on Kanttori's excellent inputs, but I'm glad Skuzzy got it done.  I'll get things adjusted later today; in the mean time, grab your muckluks and mittens and have fun.

Everything ok in the winter arena, no panic!:D

but sir!! do we get a ditch if we land on the ice?

[kanttori]

Ice is white washed water, so it is ditched landing! You can not drive GV's over it, too!

Ran into a interesting phenomenon with the Winter terrain - in a verticle dogfight it is real easy to get "vertigo!" You really loose depth perception when diving toward a low con - better watch those gauges!

Question for real pilots out there - do you run into this problem in Winter time?

[kanttori]

Here was very many accidents in 1930 and 1940 decades because of snow and ice. Snow covered ice on the lakes was the baddest from all, because the pilots really didn't saw the depth when they flied long time over the big flat white lakes or seas.

We lost very many pilots who crashed to ice when learning flying, OTW to base after hard fight or in aerial battles.  

Yes Andijg, It was and it is a real problem in the winter time!
