Title: Monday Night Madness/ava staff night--8/20/18 at 8pm EST in the AVA arena
Post by: captain1ma on August 19, 2018, 11:52:56 AM
only midwar fighters will be active. if this gains traction, we'll open up the planeset a little more.

Join us for Monday Night Madness 8pm EST in the AVA arena.

Corrected Start time is 8pm EST not 9pm EST

(http://www.wallcoo.net/paint/Air_Combat_Art_02/wallpapers/1024x768/Air%20Combat%20Art%200077.jpg)

tell your friends, tell your enemies, you wont be disappointed. 2 hours(or more) of raw furballing!
we had 15 people in there last week and had a blast.

both sides will have the same planes. enemy icons will be 1000yards.

terrain will be with the towers again, so not only do you have to worry about crashing into the ground,
but the towers are a problem too!

friendly icon--3k
enemy icon--1k
ceiling is 4k with a 127mph down draft and a 127mph side draft

Ack turned up to 20.0(yes that's 20) to prevent vulching.
we would ask that hoing be kept to a minimum

please use VOX 223 to talk to everyone
please use Range to talk to your side.

mostly just come in and have fun. we'll see you there!!

If I can find a decent map or locate my old CH map on another drive.... I might be there this Monday.

My main drive and backup drive bit the dust.

They must really need you.     :D

Drano sent me a MAP for my CH gear but it does not seem to work and it does not cover my pedals. I have 7 other drives I will be searching this evening to see if my dang AH stuff is on there so I can try to fly tonight.

Windows 10? I think control manager and Win10 is a no go. I'm still on 7 and still have CM running ok. Only use it to map dot commands to my throttle, everything else I map in AH. Eventually VKB will come out with their throttle and that'll be that. Of course that'll prolly be 2021 at this rate! My map didn't include pedals. Never used the CH peds for very long. Too narrow and didn't like the action.

LOL well that explains that. My setup worked flawlessly in W 10.

I have some more old drives I will be checking them for files. I had some emergency laser work this afternoon and my operator is not comfortable with the rotolas part. So I stayed at the shop with him late.

was fun in there last night, lots of action, quick fast fights, although i had one that last quite a while. probably close to 5 minutes.

the buildings kept getting in the way and people kept slamming into them, which is actually part of the fun. its called situational awareness! i did it several times. its more fun when the guy chasing you does it too, because he cant turn fast enough! once people got used to the different settings, and the short icons, it was an all out furball/shooting fest!!

we saw a lot of the same faces and a bunch of new faces in there last night. i hope everyone enjoyed it as much as i did. i think we peaked around 14-15 players, and it was a great time!

i hope to see every one next week. i will be working on building another terrain just for Monday night madness. maybe something inside a canyon WITH buildings!! LOL.

Was fun, but when guys start threatening rocket HO’s I go elsewhere.   Guys really need to stick to the rules so everyone has a good time.

Why go elsewhere?  Defeat the HO by maneuvering out of plane using the “energy egg” and keep on fighting.  Typically, those resorting to the HO have nothing else in their skill set and just get lucky pointing their nose at someone else.

Well, for starters, when you are playing by the rules and get HO'ed then avoidance was never really a consideration to begin with.

The same guys who will Rocket HO will also bust the alt cap, vulch, etc.   Same player.  Same problems.   I have better things to do than feed that ego.

Is one of those the Nakatomi Building?   Did I just see John McClane jump off the roof with a fire hose?

I'd say 95% of the players followed all the rules.    The 5% that didn't...well...no surprises there.

Well, for enders, if you get HOed you flew yourself to that position and didn’t maneuver out of plane.  Want to get hit by the bus?  Then step out in front of the bus.

You know good and well there are plenty of players that have very little other than a HO in their tool kit.  If by chance, you don’t know how to avoid the HOers, suggest some time with a trainer.  It’s a pretty easy fix.  :salute
