the bigger map is great but this wind issue ruins the best and busiest server in the game.

I wasn't aware that wind is actually incorporated in the game but even if it is, it isn't noticeable. It sounds to be as though you have a set-up problem of some sort. In first instance I'd suggest you check that all of the control surfaces on your aircraft have a full range of movement and return to the neutral position.

+1

The same has happened to me on occasion. Can't steer when taxiing. A quick check shows the rudder fully deflected (left or right), even though the rudder pedals are centered. Has happened both to my old CH Pedals and my new Saitek Combat Pedals. A quick ALT TAB to Windows Desktop, then a very quick recalibration via Windows Joystick Controller utility fixes it, then ALT TAB back into the cockpit of my idling Spitfire good to go.

ok maybe its a problem with my joystick, as looking back lastnight i did plug in my joystick after having fired up my pc.il have check tonight, apologies if i offended anybody as i do love playing on the server and i do plan on giving some £££ as i got this great game so cheap from steam.

There are a few missions with varying differences in wind though. But your problem sounds like it was control related.

I just flew the new mission and all I can say... What the...?!? This certainly breaks new ground, at least within CoD.
I especially like the new radar features - Chain Home, Freya, even Observer corps, all destroyable and each reflecting historical deficiencies - just awesome.
The only little complaint: Just 30 minutes ago, I was the guy who scouted the 3rd main target for blue, in my Bf-110 ( it didn't appear before on the map, while it did when I overflew and strafed it a bit, so I think it was me ) - but you don't get points for this
Again: Very awesome!

Edit: What I want to emphasize as being a step forward is that, if it's true that you can strafe Radar Stations now, that you can contribute towards your Objectives without having a bomb slung underneath your plane. Definitively a plus, and well-crafted as well, with many targets spread out because every plane is (in theory) able to strafe. Another great thing!

And a Question:
Wasn't the Oboe system supposed to lead you along a circle segment - even if it is a large one?

Just had a go at the new mission (Sunlight). A great job with the radar work, Salmo! Definitely makes a difference to me as a pilot.

I was able to vector successfully to two contact points and make three kills using good setup prior to making contact (made possible by the radar contact information which was both accurate and timely).

So hats off! Haven't yet tried the ACG CH version yet, but it'll be tough to be this one (though it looks pretty good too!).

Wonderful things ahead for CloD I think!

Thanks for the comments guys. We have many more things on the drawing board we plan to introduce after testing.

On another note, would anyone be interested in a map vote? It would be an option to rotate the mission if a certain percentage of players didn't like the current mission. Any ideas on what percentage of people would have to vote to get the change? Or is this not really needed?

I assumed the wind info was broken. I asked GC about take off conditions at Kenley and it told me the wind was at 30 and seemed to suggest I use runway 240. There is no runway 24 at Kenley

Perhaps I misunderstood and it was telling me that the wind was at 240 and to use runway 30 which would make more sense. OTOH I am sure it gave me exactly the same instructions at Lympne or Hawkinge and they both have a runway 23
