Salute to both sides' participants.  Great Job all.  What a large learning experience for everyone involved I believe.

Now let's go kick off the shoes, play in the sand, and let our hair back down for a few.

Everybody did so well and worked so hard during BOA we decided to give everyone a chance just to blow off some steam.

Tried to come up with something that would give everyone a chance to fly their birds.

Hope you guys enjoy it.   :aok

Surely the reference to perk points is in error.   :huh  Since when has it been possible to earn perk points in the AvA?

Going to need to call in a S.A.Poi.P. investigation crew to find out why the 38 engines throttles won't go at the same rate in the AvA.

Jester mentioned this last night... Did you have the same problem? I thought at one time I was having the same issue when Flatiron was easily cutting inside every manuver I made and shooting chunks off my plane. Then I realized I had a drop tank on. So I come back all cocky looking for FW-190s and run afoul of TheBug in one, just wasn't my night. :rolleyes:

We need a new conspiracy.  :noid

Yeah we were able to re-create it last night. I haven't tried it again today to see if it's still doing it as I haven't logged in yet. I'll go take a look.

Essentially when you give it full power only one engine goes to 100%, the other one stays at idle. Jester was pulling to the left, I was pulaing to the right,. After he re-calibrated his stick in game his pulled to the right as well.

Never mind. Nothing to check now. I forgot the map got reset again. It's all wonky. I can't launch from any bishop fields. No matter what I try to up it just says the plane is disabled for my country.
