Just like last week we will be testing a staged mission Tuesday Sept 10th at 3pm est (8pm London) and again at 8pm est. We may run it a couple of times.
This week we will be trying a different mission on a different terrain to see if we can narrow down possible causes of the crashing issue we had last week. All are welcome to come check it out, we appreciate the help.
These are the instructions that will appear in the arena message
North Afrika
******STAGED MISSION INSTRUCTIONS******
1. CLICK ON STAGED MISSIONS
2. CLICK ON POPULATE
You should see a screen with your in game name on the left
side and a number of planes listed on the right.
To join mission click to highlite your in game name
and then double click on the slot you want to fly. Your
name should then appear with a checkmark in either the
AXIS or ALLIED column and also next to the plane slot you
have chosen.
3. WAIT FOR BRIEFING (if there is one) AND MISSION
TO START
If you only see a blank populate screen, the system is
still sending you the mission. Wait a few seconds,
exit the screen and then try again.
4. If the join in progress box is checked, you may be
able to join the mission after it is started.
Just click on your name and a plane slot as above.
Be prepared to spawn in flight and have your throttle
open.
5. If you are eliminated, you may be able to rejoin
mission if open slots remain. To do this, return to the
populate screen, click your name in the AXIS or ALLIED
column, click unassign and repeat the above instructions.
6. You may need to reduce your speed considerably,
sometimes even half throttle to stay with the AI group.
Of course you can also circle to rejoin them. Depending
on the mission design this may not be critical because
there may be a warp to the combat segment that will put
you in postion from wherever you happen to be.
7. The route you should be flying is shown in red on your
clipboard map.

Ok, we will be ready to go. Anyone who can come by and help us, will be greatly appreciated.

I can make one of those time slots, but I don't know which yet. That's noon and 5pm in my Pacific time zone.

Cool, had no crashes this morning. One issue, if you rejoin in a P40, you have no gas LOL.
Going to do it again tonight 8pm est.

Would be nice to have some more folks show up to help test the AI staged missions and give feedback.

Would be great to see ya there. The more folks in to give feed back and test out different things, the sooner Jimson and the boys can get this system kink free. I was exicted to hear of staged missions now that I've seen where they are at and what they are capable of IM really excited about them.
Wish I coulda made the 8'oclock run but had to work.

This testing is invaluable, The more people we have, the more we can uncover. Today we found an issue that if you rejoin or join in progress a P40C, You will have no fuel.
Hitech can't fix what he doesn't know about.
Plus, we are having fun.
