Thanks, guys... it was a joint effort of all the Trainers and the Terrain Team.

Give it a good working out and let us know what doesn't work, or how it can be improved. :)

Great map so far!



ONe thing i might already recommend. Make it so that enemy overflight of A1 is IMPOSSIBLE. either Žby hills or field country affiliation.

Have you actually tried this? You might find it a little difficult. ;)

Rooks should only ever be Trainers, if they need... at least that is how it was planned. I'm sure there are many Arena Settings (as opposed to Terrain Details) that still need to be set by the Trainers.

Great job on the new TA map!!  I really like how it's sectioned off for different training needs.

Many thanks Dux.

Schatzi, no worries.  We just need some time to iron out a few settings.  Ive already take care of a rook issue likely related to what you saw.

Are vehicles going to stay enabled @A1? Already saw them driving around.
This was shortly after the release and may have been attended to already. Similar to my CM terrain post, maybe I should check it out again before I post.

I LOVE the new layout!


Now, all I need is a place to find the trainers' schedules. I dont seem to have much luck when i just drop in anymore....

Any thoughts about posting those someplace?

Murdr, im sorry. I didnt want to sound critizizing.

Love the new layout by the way

Great Map and Great Funtions too, like airstarts at certain fields etc etc

wtg guys

I'd love it if there were a deep snake river type canyon added to it
very narrow with lots of tight turns for training and doing races
and things,

It would also be great if that dueling area had DA settings
though im not sure you can do that

Stuck at work and just curious as to what the "no fly" zones are?  Mountains?  500 mph down draft? :)
Title: New TA map
Post by: Dux on August 09, 2006, 04:02:39 PM
Really high walls. The No-fly zones are there to keep you at least 17 miles away (the max AH fog visibilty distance setting) so that the sight of really high walls doesn't kill the feeling of flying in the open sky. :)
Title: New TA map
Post by: fuzeman on August 09, 2006, 04:12:43 PM
Another thing to disable are the filed guns. Again specifically referring to A1.
Title: New TA map
Post by: red26 on August 09, 2006, 06:15:52 PM
The walls are like 35,000 ft, right I flew over one last night just to see how high they were it took like 2 hours just for me to get there. By the way good going guy's love the new setup:aok :O

do the bases change? I noticed that for dive bombing the bases are all rook, and I can't access them. is there different days for different training? The screenshot is different than the map I see different countries in different arenas

The bases for dive bombing start at A-20 on the bish side and you air spawn out over them at 20-K by using the NE runway at A-20.

For those not familiar with the air spawn, it drops you in the air at a given altitude and you simply hit G and point the nose down.The reason for this is that it cuts down on flight time.

How do you airspawn??:D

Bases shouldn't change in there but you can change sides at will. Points, sides and country loyalty do not matter in the Training Arena.
To switch you can use the Change Country option in the O'Club on your clipboard or the dot command dot country X where 1=Bishop, 2=Knight and 3=Rook.
His map might look slightly different than yours for a few reasons. He may have changed some of the default colors and of course nothing will look exactly the same on two different monitors.
Also, they may be some minor tweaking by the AH2TC to fine tune the map to their exact specifications.

Something like that I'd try offline.
The 'No Fly Zones' are there for a reason and I'd assume the AH2TC would heavily frown upon people doing that regularly or any time at all.
No fly obviously means No Fly.
And yes I'm a party pooper.

You should have seen me in the 'old' TA. I pooped on so many peoples 'parties'....
I got more abuse mentioning the rules there than everyone who ever played Aces High got for Hoing, cherrypicking, vulching, or spying combined.
 But I still went there to help. It's a cheap alternative to a stress test at the Doctor's office.

I don't know about that fuze, Ren pooped on a lot of parties just by making them watch TV.

I twas a one time deal just wanted to see what happen to ya if you did. It's pointless to fly over the wall It seems that you would almost be out of fuel once you started the desent down. Sorry I did what I did wont do it agin .:aok
