Title: What happened with "Combat Tour"?
Post by: czpilot on December 31, 2011, 11:05:27 AM

Hi everybody.

I used to fly AH very long time ago and I remember the plan of HT to release a new version of game with on line missions and career called "Combat Tour". Last info is from 2006: http://hitechcreations.com/ct/news060112.html
I was looking forward to play it but there is no info for very long time. Anyone knows what happened with Combat Tour plan? Is it abandoned or is it still in production?
Thanks for any info.

Thanks for link. I missed that announcement. I regret that the project was stopped. I could be something unique between online sims.

I hope this idea isn't gone forever.

There is apparently a plan in place to enable an AI mission system for the custom arenas, which was an original CT development.

Last year, former AvA staffer Fudgums presented an event idea called "Broken Skies" It was sort of a "Combat Tour Lite".

We were toying around with a character system that used a random identity generator.

We had also started playing with a crude animated mission briefings concept. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lt-X0wZQYE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzkP0rAwjEg

The idea broke down because we weren't able to figure out a way to run it without logging capabilities, but I am convinced that with just a few more tools, volunteers could put together something similar to CT.

Iv'e often wondered what was developed for CT that is still sitting on a shelf that none of us have seen yet.

Combat Tour is probably the one thing that would get me flying again. I cannot devote the necessary time to scenarios, and regular arena style play has very little appeal to me.
