What is the next scenario going to be. All that i know i think it is going to be pacific theater
-
Any update ? ? ?
Curios minds want to know.
Thanks,
-
Can't schedule until the map is fixed. Last I heard, it's in Skuzzy's hands.
Once it comes back, it won't take much time to verify and finalize.
-
Two weeks then

Oh Man, Dusting off my Wings....
I would be very interested in a scenario again. Hello to any that remember this worn out old pilot!
-
Grimm :D we're working on it ..but there's currently a shortage of rubber duckies and our bath tub is leaking again.
-
Wouldn't the logical solution be to use another map for the time being?
Run something else?
Just curious.
-
Heh... A year and a half from the last BoB, hasn't it been running every two years, nothing wrong with the BoB04-map. :devil
-
I was thinking that, too, panzzer, but it would have to be toward the end of the year, to stay with tradition!
-
Well Krusty, it works like this. A great deal of time was spent building this one. No, it can't be another map, midway was pretty specific as to where that particular fight occured. Yes, we can run another one, so long as I finally decide Midway is not going to run and invest another few months pulling a new one outta someones tailpipe. So, the decision I get to make is hold out for a few weeks or a month to get the Midway terrain complete, or trash the idea and build a new event, which could be a month.
I've decided to wait for the midway terrain to be completed, as technically it is built but awaiting final compiling from Skyzzy. The game patch took priority over the scenario, and rightly so, as the game patch will Improve the scenario with the new ships that we got.

LOL When ROC says so.

Well it's not That Dictator like Fencer, it's just allocating time and not continually starting over.
Heck, I could have the guys toss up, like has been suggested, another BoB-08 and run it, there are not many off the shelf events that are done and have a compatible map that doesn't need an update.
So, it's run something off the shelf, which has a limited menu, or midway when the maps done. But it doesn't make sense to start an entire new event that will take longer to create than it will take for the midway map to release.
-
Yanno, the more I think about it, perhaps that's just what should be done. I don't want anyone hanging out waiting for something that might not come, so I'll get with the rest of the team and see if we just toss bob up again. Would make my life a whole lot easier :aok
-
Oh no not spitfires! (Hides under desk)

Hajo this is my desk! Get your own!

Since I got a nice PM from ROC, let me explain that he will run MIDWAY when he has all the parts ready and not one second before. It does no one any good to have a scenario start and get to the beta frame only to find out something is terribly broken on the map.
I still think it was funny though. :rofl
-
I actually saved the banner, I liked it :)
In fact, had we not tested on the level that we did, we WOULD have gotten to beta and found the event porked.
-
Can we ask what was wrong with the map?
-
You can ask.
:) Yes, map was fine and worked in the AvA and a snapshot. Problem was, those 2 areas don't typically use the capture system, and while testing the design found that the troops died in quicksand before making it to the maproom. Tile problem. Considering the event is designed around the preventing the Japanese from capturing the island, the inability to capture the base gave a slight advantage to the US :D
So while the terrain tiles were fixed, some graphic issues were cleaned up by removing half the trees on the island.

Seems to me this 'feature', if applied to ALL arenas would get AH re-focused
on air combat and away from the 'capture the flag' mentality that now prevails
throughout....
=GB= ( oh, AW, where are you when we REALLY need you! )

Hiya GB :) Had a great fleet battle last sunday night, thought about you :)
Yes, most of the scenarios don't have a capture element, which is why I like them so much. Midway needs it though, as the ability to take the island is paramount to the battle.
By the way GB, a good portion of the fleets are going to be dedicated to engaging each other, with a task force hitting the beaches.
Eventually, this thing is going to need a fleet admiral ;)
-
Rangoon in the meantime?
Now that would be SWEET!!! :rock

Alas, I will most likely be in Europe when this runs unless it is after July 16th....

I'm all for making sure an event runs without a hitch if possible. CMs do a great job, mostly thankless and behind the scenes.
Wish I had the time to be of service. When I retire (not to far down the road) I would certainly love to help the CMs in any
way that I can. I look forward to Scenarios. They are really what keeps me interested in Aces High. Unfortunately for me
the Betty Ford Clinic for Scenario Rehab has stated my account is in arears and I will have to vacate the Ward.
Here's another thought. DGS was such a success that I'm afraid that maybe now the Community might be afraid to offer
something unless it is perfect. Don't be hesitant.....or to particular. Object is to have fun.
Thanks CMS

Didn't feel like flying the MA the other night and ended up watching my Frame 4 of DGS film.
Oh what I'd give for that kind of intensity with a purpose in the game again :)
Just listening to the radio chatter when the first LW fighters were sighted was worth the time. The flak burst going off as the 24s made their run. Fighter drivers hollering at the straggler 24s to get back in the formation. Bombs gone...Lets get these guys home. Fighting off 109s, 190s, 262s and 163s all the way out. The bombers are safe, it's back to get the straggler fighters out, then covering one of my own who was single engine all the way home.
Jeez that was incredibly good fun. :aok
Yes Hajo, they kicked you out of the ward, because they needed the bed for me :)
-
Dan.....they have the "Buddy Plan" at the Clinic???? :D
-
Can't wait for the next scenario. Only question I have is will the scores be kept secret like DSG was (best idea EVER) or will we get scores after every frame?
-
Is there anything we can do to help? My hands are shaking.. :o
-
Do you guys like Japanese Sakai or German Beer ?
-
German Bier, please! :aok :D
-
either is fine.
the withdrawals are killing me :lol
-
I eagerly await the next senario! :D
