Outstanding work NUTTZ.
Is this one going to be submitted as a MA map? I think it should be.

Damn nice terrain, Nuttz! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I flew around the terrain with F5. Here's some notes and thoughts:
-Cliboard map needs field numbers and grid.
-The HQ's seem to "clip". Are they on flat ground and not crossing gridlines? Might be just a graphics glitch on my computer.
-Task Group 15's spawn point is on dry ground.
-One of the large fields on the southern island is clipping as well. The terrain needs to be flattened there.
All in all, the terrain seems to be almost 100% finished, definately official arena material! Well done Nuttz!!
And now to the critique:
I quickly added a grid to give an idea of the size of the map:

The biggest - and so far the only - complaint I have is that the terrain is 512x512 miles. That is four times as big as the current MA terrains. The flight times to/from the "home islands" is going the be quite long since the distances are several hundred miles... A normal 256x256 MA terrain fits inside the area between the three "marshmellow" islands.
There has been some discussion earlier, about introducing larger terrain into the MA. This terrain might be an option. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Known problems:
CV's, Pokie has been helping me with them.
I'll check the airfeilds.
I made the map that big because....
I put ALOT of feilds really close in the center map for the "furballlers and people who want a quick fight. Also the distance will stop or slow down the "gangbanging of the weaker side's mainland. And i feel it's close enuff for the people who like to plan an organized strike to the enemies mainland.
It also eliminates the "Offmap" strikes that seamed to plague the MA.
I also have some VH VS. VH in there but there are only a few of them.
BTW I changed a few tiles for the better (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I'm glad you like it.

OK, I got an Idea for a map from reading the BBS. Heres my IDEA i would like some input.
It's based on the Dueling map only heres the twist...
I will set up alot of little dueling maps within this map,but i will stage them according to year,
EXAMPLE: early spits against early 109's at one dueling stage, next dueling stage over will be maybe Niki's Vs f4's and ponies only. Oh and ICONS will be off (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Bug report for ya NUTTZ, Coffee map:
A-44: The tower has a BH in it! I'm not kidding! Suggest you move the tower to some place that isn't likely to have a Lanc spawn on it.
A-35: The hill at the S end of the runway has a hole in it. I tried driving an Arado up it and instead fell inside the hill!! The S spawn points and BH are set west of the runway, not on it.
TG-8: Still spawns on land.

NUTTZ,
Thanks, I'm downloading now. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I think having a larger map for the MA is a good idea, given the recent influx of players.
A few monthes ago you could go cruiseing alone and be sure to find a 1v1 situation at some enemy airfield.
Now if you go in alone you will be 1v3+ most of the time, that is assuming you can find an enemy airfield without some firendly aircraft around.
So a larger map will help to spread out the action to a move reasonable level.

For some reason the coffee.res link has stopped working for me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
Any Ideas?
