Capture the flag is now working,(Another method to capture a base) you must bring its flag (at the map room) back to your base and exit on the runway.
If you die the flag is dropped at your death location, and anyone from any country can pick it up.
Another use is the 2 sided game team play (spawned arena, all start at same time) of 1 flag is between 2 fields, and the team who brings it home first wins.
Next up a is steal the sheep.
The static mission system will be used to create organized team games.
The new version is getting very close to open beta release.

Sounds like awesome fun!

Is this another method to capture a base or the only way? In other words will the troop method still work also?
-

I guess it'll be time to return when the open beta comes. Really enjoying getting out and taking pictures though, so I'll be spending less time in the game.

To me "another" seems like there could be 2 ways. Might be clearer if he said the new way.

Heh, I was wondering if we would get more alpha news soon, just had that feeling. I like what we're hearing already, should be a pretty positive near future once the beta becomes playable for the masses.
There is a FlightSimCon coming up in a few weeks sponsored by Saitek - sort of return to the 90s or early 2000s when flight sims were crazy popular may be coming IMO. Thanks in part to extremely popular games using HOTAS stuff like the new space games out there - I think guys who invest in the sticks want to find other uses for them, and from what I've read there has been a huge uptick in flight sim hardware sales. Even FlightSimulator X has a version coming out on Steam soon.
Anyhow, this Con is at the New England air museum, I'm thinking of going. My point is I think HTC is striking at a very, very good time in terms of the market potential with a new version of the best WW2 or even arguably just combat flight sim out there.
This is great news.
-
I thought this thread was announcing a new line of condoms designed by Hitech " Now available in sizes from Zero to B-29" ......quite disappointed actually :devil
-
It is worth the wait just for the sheep!
I'd go to New England air museum and proudly wear an "Aces High" T shirt, but I'll be away on vacation that weekend :(
-
Thank you for the update - I'll need to start flying more to get back in practice for the Beta!

Am I the only one who, the instant saw, "Next up a is steal the sheep.", started scrolling down to see more information on this in other posts? I had to go back to finish reading the rest of it. :noid

:x storches and goons can pickup the flag right? :salute
-
sounds like fun...but will this promote the grab and run gameplay? maybe the flag detonates if vectored away from home for more than one minute. :headscratch:

It is dropped after 1 min to the closest point it has been to home since the friendly player picked it up.
I.E. You can take it back, but not away.

:headscratch: OK, I know I am older than dirt and slow upstairs right now, but how are we supposed to grab the flag???

Basically you fly or drive through it.
-

:airplane: OK, that will be interesting, watching a GV flying through the air to fly through the flag!!
Does the flag have to be white or can you steal it no matter the color?
-
It is really called a pennant, and is a different shape and object then the existing flags.
HiTech
-
I will be stealing all your flags once this gets released. If you wish to have your base back you will have to up a fighter and come kill me! :devil
TY Crabby for the brilliant idea :aok
-
so you drop from the sky in your 262 thru the flag and beat it for home?

262 moves to fast...gotta be slow enough the pilot can reach out from his cockpit and grab said flag...... :uhoh

Lol this is how it will feel to grab the flag...

You know, those helicopter's that people posted about in the wishlist would work quite well for capture the flag. :D
I am thinking the following would be useable for the actual capture/carry: Jeep, M3, 251, Fi-156 and C-47. For the GV's, how will someone know it is carrying the flag from the air? Am I to guess that whoever has the flag will have their icon visible from much farther out? Will their icon's (both air and ground) get a special icon to show they are holding the flag as well? :headscratch:

Man there be a lot of pilots flying around with knee high rubber boots on after seeing that picture.

logic would have the flag visible on the map

Perhaps the pennant will be detached if you go too fast, in which case a good low alt climb rate might be the best asset to have.

+1 ... I think. What is max speed? 300 for one minute?
-
I think the 1 minute thing is just if a plane from the field's existing country picks it up, to stop him hiding it.
I'm assuming there will be a speed limit as otherwise there would be non-stop one man field captures all the time. If so, it would need to be set slow enough to give someone time to catch a sneak thief without having to up a 262. Possibly it would be an adjustable arena setting, set to a lower figure for the early war than the late war.
They could also add some extra drag to your plane if you are towing a pennant.
-
I'm liking the added drag/reduced speed thing. Would make it lots more interesting.
-
Actually i think we should have to land our plane beside the flag and run out and grab it,jump back in our plane "wich then turns a certain color for identification" take off and head home. :devil

Your pictures are great, but let me know when you get back in the cockpit, and I'll dust my old Saitek off and join you!

THANKS! Will do. It's a lot of fun, and now that you've reminded me, I'll put a few more up soon.
I'll have to come back, Crabby and Kimara keep bugging me, and I need to make them stop........ :joystick:
