are you going to be allowed to re-up when you are shot down, or is it going to be limited to first 15 min?

[Squire]

Nobody gets to reup when they are shot down unless 2nd lives are in the setup. In this case the answer is no, as in most FSO designs. The 1st 15 minutes is for discoes only.

[dmdchief]

they do it all the time just look at the logs

[daddog]

What Squire said.

Many players up with the wrong fuel or loadout and reup. Also some may crack up on take off.  They can roll again with out asking in the 1st 15 min.

Sometimes fields are left open or we miss something, but FSO is almost always a one life event. Anyone caught taking advantage of our mistake and re-upping over and over can quickly find themselves in the tower for a few months.

This is a question, NOT a complaint.  Why no P47M?? 

[oakranger]

Will the terrain be snow cover? 

And why no TH-152?

[Shifty]

Will the terrain be snow cover? 

And why no TH-152?

What's a TH-152?

[Anaxogoras]

Converted or not, I hope this uses the rhinewin terrain.

[Motherland]

Will the terrain be snow cover? 

If the terrain's not updated (like it wasn't for Red Storm) then it will still be rainforests and palm trees.

And why no TH-152?

Because it's January not April

Converted or not, I hope this uses the rhinewin terrain.

Rhinewin would be palm trees if not converted just like the other one is unfortunately...

[Anaxogoras]

Yeah, you're right.

[daddog]

Old terrain. Sorry guys. Wish I could use a new one. 

From what I heard the Ta-152 and the P47M were not out yet, at least in numbers so I decided to just leave em out.
