Could you please open the doors on the large green hangars (the ones with the set of six sliding doors on one end). I really miss the old hangars which I often used to practice BFM on / through. I know this was once a very popular sport in the TA now impossible with the smaller openings. There is nothing else in AH to supply for the loss of what was basically a set of very useful goal posts.

the rv-8 can fit thru.. knife edge :)
there was an enduro race a while back where we had to go thru it every lap :uhoh
many people did not make it thru the first lap. :rofl

The spit16 can I did it twice lol

+1 Especially with the shrinkage to the VH, as it used to get quite a few planes through it.

Yeah I know you can just squeeze through that one on your side, but the previous versions were much more useful for working on combinations of BFM. Sort of hangar slalom. It was a valuable tool.

Oh yeah and it was a blast too. I still say the ground crews closed that door a little on me. :furious :rofl
Personally, I like that they are only open a little. So how about this... One hanger has it's doors opened, keep the other one the way it is? Would that work out for you guys? I occasionally go to offline mode and take the RV-8 though it for kicks. :aok

Oh nrshida, you would have a great time doing the racing league. Unfortunately, I understand that it doesn't work well with your schedule.
However, I believe the CM's usually have the race course set up the day of or before the scheduled event. Check it out in SEA 1, old school hangars set up as an original course every week. :rock
Try checking out the schedule in the A.H.X.A.R.L. section of the bbs.

Edit: You could always pop in while some of us are practicing and give it a go.

The training arena still uses the old style hangers. Either offline or online one can fly through hangers all they want. Many of the Special Event terrains are still using the old style hangers...
Changing the present hangers on the current main arena terrains would require the Terrain guys to remodel the hanger object, and then basically re-build/compile each base group...then they would have to recompile each terrain. Not an entirely trivial effort.
The training arena is the perfect place to practice and created for just such a thing...

It still possible to fly though, just harder. I do it when I'm bored vultching the field.

The TA has the new hangers. It would be nice to have the doors open wider.

All terrains have the new hangers now, with a few exceptions. Arden08 has some custom fields (A52) that did not change when htc updated the hanger graphic. Also a terrain called Racetest, which is the one the AHXARL is currently using has the old style hangers everywhere, but there are only a few fields currently. This terrain can be had by popping into SEA 1 Monday (usually) or Tuesday night. The races are held 10:00 Eastern, 7:00 pacific, if you are interested, and usually posted up on the AHXARL threads http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/board,278.0.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/board,278.0.html) for practice information.

Top Secret plane, close the hanger doors. +1 :aok :aok :aok

I requested the change to the large green hangar because if you observe the layout of the new airfields it would make a good parkour with only one small alteration to the buildings. To me it looked like the six sliding doors had been arbitrarily positioned so I assumed it would be easy to change it.
This would still leave one of the grey hangars with a very small gap for those that want to test their mettle. I'm afraid I don't know the names of the types of hangars.
I'll try and pop in for a practice session sometime Bill :salute

:confused: You're all crazy! Any twit that tries to fly through a hanger as part of a fight, DOESN'T know any ACMs. :bolt:

Don't believe anyone said anything about doing it as part of a fight, muzik. If they did, accept my apology, as I missed it.
AHXARL does it as an obstacle during the races, others were doing it just to see if they could.
To try to use one during a fight would be suicide. You drop down, the guy on your six nails you as you exit.

Anyone managed to make it under the bridges in town successfully yet?

The City Bridge? Heck Yes. Check out SEA1. It's part of our race track this week. FW 190 A-5, Bishop A3, 5 laps through two hangers and the city bridge X 3 heats. (F-3 view enabled, too). Race is Tuesday night, 10 Eastern, 7:00 Pacific.

Many thanks for changing this HTC :salute
