Title: Want a cash contest? Ok...submit new maps!
Post by: LePaul on December 03, 2002, 11:05:17 AM
Top pilots...bleah...I don't think they'll be any surprises there  But we DO need some more maps, if not just for rotation.  Why not have a map building contest and the winner's maps not only get added to circulation, but a hearty cash award for their beer fund?

Just an idea...

Sorry HiTech, with all the negative posts, whines over the issues with the Scoring system...I thought a suggestion over something every thinks we need [maps] would be a nifty idea.

But hey, call me kooky...twas just an idea

I think thats an excellent idea...or instead of giving cash awards, if your map is used, maybe a waiver of fees for a certain period of time.

maybe set up a special "trial" arena where maps are laid out and players fly and vote on which one they like, the maps however would not have identifying information from the maker so no one wins by "popularity of the maker" vote.

Great idea LePaul....now when these maps are submitted, can HTC subtract the man-hours that they have to spend making sure there are no errors and problems with the map from the prize money?

We do have that P-38 in AH, it's the L model.  THe current ordinance package in AH doesn't allow the P-38L to carry what it was able to carry in real life.  P-38L was able to carry a external bomb load of 4,000 pounds or 10 5 inch rockets.

Now it would be nice if we would get a couple of early model P-38's like the faster J model or even the D model with the 37mm nose cannon, or maybe even the E model with floats.

Host the contest and I'll pay the prizes for the best map!

Kill 2 birds with 1 stone -
Keep your money and give the majority of players a map they like.

Yea, shame that the paycheck you take home doesn't have the reminder "Brought to you by the customer".

LePaul's idea is a good one, since no one else has found any motivation to make new maps.
