The server was smooth today, except for the pauses caused by people joining or down loading custom skins, but very smooth otherwise.

Hey!

Went to the SYN server again the other day, and was amazed by the quantity of planes going around. Certainly not a boring place to be at, it seems like!

Either way, I usually fly the Blenheim, and right now it's really hard to manage a takeoff because there are so many other Blennies going around. With all the overheating issues, it's really hard to taxi properly, and I got crashed into around 3 times in a row, even if I was just warming up the engines and not actually going anywhere. It's annoying as heck, given that it takes awhile to run the engines up. I ended up taking off alongside the runway, not on the runway itself, but even that is hard since sometimes you have planes on the side of the runway too!

Maybe you can distribute AI Blenheim spawns between a couple of airfields or provide a player-only airfield for Blenheim or something like that?

Cheers

Hi Anvilfok,

I'll take a gander at it. I thought I had em landing at a hurri field. I bet that's an exiting place to try to take off from :)

On the Syndicate server today and saw a UFO.

From a distance the plane looked like it was sunlight glinting off glass, then as I flew towards it from below it looked like a aircraft shaped puff of cloud. By the time I got the track recording I did a level flyby and it looked like this.

I'm not using any mods and have got steam cloud enabled and using the uptodate version.

Has anyone else seen something like? First time for me.

Anyhoo I've posted a thread in the mods forum, it would be interesting to see what caused it.

Cheers

Check it again after the imminent sound/graphics patch comes out.

Is there any method one can use to automatically advance the time to dawn?

Ah...., sorry about that. Forgot that I took off the time constant the other night. It should be good to go now.

@wolverine - I'm gonna work on your spawn points for the blem :)

Any chance of an E1 on the map Bliss (or is there one already?)

Aha thanks Cheesehawk!

The bombers are now landing at an unoccupied field on both sides.

I'll check at that spawn. I think I know where you are talking about.
