Nice map... big map... lots to do.

I was really hoping that some map maker would change it up a bit and add a few different colors to the MA in the way of water or sky, kinda like some of the special events maps that have been done.

 Map after map of dark Atlantic water is just to much already but thanks anyway for your many hours of time and effort on this one.


Favorite time of day to fly

Favorite color of water would be South Pacific.

Colors are controlled by HTC, all terrain and sky setup MUST use the same tiles, hench the same coloring. If they didn't DownLoads would be huge, and not fair to those stuck on dial-up

wierd thing,
when the map first came up we were defending A150. While taking off, an RV8 spawned up and flew around for a bit. I flew next to him for a bit as I was surprised to see one then thought I I'd have some fun and I ditched right away to get one, but they were not listed in the hanger.

I tried .show RV8 and got nothing. Shame, woulda been fun to up a dozen of them against the horde that was attacking.

Anyone else see this happen?

Tanktown/fightertown in tagma (the new map) looks good... check out how close the vbases are to each other.

And the volcano in the middle of TT/FT is a nice touch.  Duels in the crater?

Also like the canyon areas on each big island.

Years ago (2000+) i used to play in H2h and even made a few of my own maps. I don't really remember if there was an option to change the color of the water but the sky, sun and many other aspects of the game could be changed. Again, nice work on the map, I'll be trying it out some more tonight.

They are probably enabled at a few of the bases. I shot a RV8 down at one of the center bases last night.

As a side note.. it would be nice to have the big maps in Orange and the small maps in Blue. While this map is new and looks good eventually it will wear on us and likely never get reset in Blue. I've been flying Blue lately to get away from the monster sized maps in Orange. Now both areas have big maps that make my eyes hurt to look at the clip board.  :rolleyes:

Looks like 3D planes rendered on top of a real life terraian.. The water and the island is a real picture not rendered in 3D.

It's really a stunning image........and also my new desktop....

someday I'm sure we'll have terrain that looks like that.....most likely on an AH 3D hologram presentation in the middle of our livingroom.....rather than on a monitor.......

I believe the command to enable the RV8 is .show rv

A while ago oboe and I found out they were enabled, so we took two up to fight the horde.  It was great, we were twisting and turning in at least 7 baddies, none of which could get an angle on us.  Eventually oboe got shot down, getting one proxy kill in the process.  I had 2 proxies on me, and tried to rtb after getting torn up.  Never made it back, all of them pounced on me like a kid at fat camp on a candy bar. 

It was the best fun I had had in awhile though.

The dot command for the rv-8 is .showrv (no spaces.)  :aok

I heard all are disabled because the map creator was using an older version of the map editor...pre wribles, 25's and 39's.

It's because the map was made before the new Gv's and aircraft were put in.

Post by: Bruv119 on July 15, 2008, 03:00:57 AM
i'd just like to say thanks for the time and effort put in by the map maker. 

I've played on it a little bit and I think the base spacing is superb, the variety between vbases and fields, the inclusion on ports and cv battles.  A fight can start nearly anywhere on the map rather than a narrow front.

In short its the best MA map i've seen in awhile.  Well done
