Title: Black Sea Winter Terrain!
Post by: Nefarious on October 22, 2013, 03:58:48 PM

We will be operating on a new terrain this FSO.

It will also be a fairly large download as it incorporates some of the great skinning work from Greebo and Cactuskooler with new default winter skins for the Yak-7B, He-111H and the P-40F.

You can download this terrain ahead of time by creating a custom arena with Blkseaw.

I recommend you get it ahead of time because this terrain download is larger than most with the custom skins added. It will also be up on and off before FSO Frame on November 1st.

I have asked the CM team to please post the Terrain bllseaw after every event that is hosted in both SEA1 and SEA2. It is currently posted in SEA2 right now.

I have also created a custom arena and I will try to post one every night from 1630 - 22/2300 every night I can until FSO starts again in November.

It takes about 5:20 to download, so the earlier you get it, the better it will be for everyone participating come Nov 1st.

Download time is variable...it took me 8 minutes with a 63.94Mbps DL speed...it surprised me at how long it took.  Terrain looks great!!!

I downloaded the Black Sea map from SEA2 today, when I look in the hanger it shows every plane in AH.  Is this normal or did I download the wrong map?

Thanks;

 The arena hasn't been setup as of yet. The CM's have to setup the arena before the event. The important part is that you have the map.

When you run the game offline, your "arena" is set to all defaults for the terrain...which basically means everything being enabled everywhere.
