Title: Match Play Arena.
Post by: hitech on December 01, 2017, 03:08:46 PM
Now in the match play arena there is also a furball mode in which you simply hit any of the spawn buttons and it air spawns you to a furball area.

It's the old DA Furball Lake in all it's glory guys, I just peeked in to look at the terrain. Now if you can get some new guys in there and hooked on old school furballing. The terrain looks like the AH2 DA map converted to AH3.

And being evil as he is, HT will probably leave kill shooter off.   It was fun.  I can see it being a place to warm up before going into another arena or waiting for scenario... or quiet times when ppl, just want fights, plus I believe it's a free arena and if it's populated, it can lead new players to subscribing to the main arenas for the warz aspects not present in this furball haven. As mentioned it's very much like old furball lake, but with air spawns.

Now if I can only get this pesky site installation and commissioning done, I could get my arse home and into the command chair to provide a target, i'd be a happy man...

I'm not sure it's totally working as intended. I've only been there alone and thus the Match Play Queue Selection window works as before (puts you in the queue). When I put myself on any airfield and click a runway then I'm ALWAYS airspawned over PT corner and the electric fence is still operative.

Is it the intention to airspawn at the lake?

It's fine, PT terrain very nice venue. Small furbal developing, some duelling on the side. Tempests and egos expected shortly  :banana:

Have not had a chance to check it out yet, but I thank you for your action Hitech. This sounds like a great enhancement that will make action flow a lot better and provide a great area to just let loose without the pressure of the MA.

How do you take off and get to the other areas, like Death Canyon or Low Alt Flights.  It always spawns me over the lake, no matter what field I'm at.

Air spawns are a set object....depending on which button you press that's where you will go every time. If your looking to do death canyon fights, you are better off making a custom arena.

Just ignore the Match Play Pop up if you just wish to airspawn and select your plane, fuel loadout, and then runway.... poof instant Furball Lake.  I think the electric fence caught Shane when we were testing, anyhow he got tossed into limbo for a 15 second eternity, but he disappeared from our view so we weren't able to enjoy the smoke exiting his ears or his La7 melting into a liquid mess as wished for.  :pray

I didn't realize there was a boundary until it was pointed out.. saw it on the clipboard and at certain angles to locations could actually see the red vertical boundaries...

So I guess that must be what happened.  The plane just froze for me but didn't dump me from flight for a bit and when it did, it sent me to tower.
