there;s a reason for that.

I just formed a squadron yesterday so we are new to the Friday squad operations. Is there a good link to for information on Friday squad night?

you have to be registered in there.

Would you mind sharing? You actually want to remove the downdraught as a useful adjunct to maintain people below the max altitude? You like sorting out post-frame arguments about who cheated by being above 23k? Why do it different this particular FSO series to every other use of the downdraught?
Please share - I'm intrigued.

You also need to wait until next month.

i've got all fighters max alt of 23k. there's a high probability of a 21k to 23k merge. at that point someone's gonna bust that alt cap by a couple hundred feet. it would suck for you in your zeek to manage to gain a great advantage over a p40 because you went a mere 100ft above the cap, and the downdraft blew your airplane straight down, while you're inverted and nearly stalled. and the same for the p40 managing to gain a good advantage on the p40.
so my choice with this was to allow a buffer zone, and let everyone run on a sort of honor system. it must've worked last week, 'cause the massive number of p40's i spotted weren't any higher than 23k. on top of that, not a single complaint of anyone busting the limit.
i like to think that 99.99999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999% of the great pilots in here(even those trouble makers in jg54 :neener: ) wouldn't deliberate bust the alt cap, if the downdraft were left totally off.
when i look at the squad lists, and the pilot names, i see a LOT i recognize from years of cartoon flying, and some i don't recognize. what i also realize, is that i see lots of people that i've come to respect over the years. i know it sounds cheezy, but that's how i feel.
if you want, i'll adjust the two to coincide.......i was simply trying to leave a bit of a buffer zone is all. i'm easy. this is my fun. i seriously enjoy doing the reading, and research to make these, even if i don't make them perfect. then when i see everyone having fun, THAT makes it worth every second i spent.

A max altitude is only a max altitude if you actually mean nobody to go above it period.
If you put a down-draught and/or a cloud level at the max altitude then you have a useful reminder to people where the ceiling is. Helps them comply.
If you want to keep people below a particular level, but still allow for a buffer zone, then delete the max altitude and institute a simple down draught at that level. That way you get a buffer zone built in. People can fly above the set altitude, but lingering there builds a penalty. The longer you stay up there the more you pay. A temporary transgression in the heat of battle means little penalty and keeps things simple and harmonious.
-
Basically, yes. That's what I was thinking as well. More ways to incur penalty can change the dynamic of, the way the points fall come the End of Frame 3 and the final tally.

they shall be aligned. like i said....i'm easy. :aok
