Sorry, folks. I really am. Previous rounds used to be packed with players. Not sure what changed. You'd expect more to sign up with the Apache being added to the chaos, but for whatever reason it's not the case.

Server News: - Helicopters Tournament 15 has been cancelled due to lack of participants. - Therefore, the new mission, Clash of Eras, will kick off tomorrow, Saturday, 07.05.2022, around 1800 zulu, instead of Sunday. - Operation Homs is being fixed/updated. - Operation Sail Ahoy! is being fixed/updated. - Work on a Close Air Support mission has started. Here are some examples of previous CAS missions: 1) Close Air Support 2) Close Air Support - Moonlight!

Due to lack of participants the event has been cancelled. Maybe next time... Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yeah, good point. I'll make some adjustments.

The draw tool is OK, but it has many flaws. The texts are rubbish because every time you zoom in and out they're stretched out all over the map. Very unreliable. However, I've just added some drawings to Swedish Delivery. The new mission, Clash of Eras, has drawings already. More missions to follow. On the other hand drawings alone don't explain anything without texts. They must be some adjustment for that. @All: Operation Sukhumi - The Beginning kicks off today around 1900 zulu, or maybe earlier if the current mission is finished by either side.

1- That's why the B-52's start 50-75 km northeast of Vody to give you a bit of buffering. 2- That must've been added automatically after one of the latest updates for the game. I'll check it out. 3- Or, wait for either the F1 or the F-4 to arrive (or both) to solve that problem, which was my original plan when I designed the mission. Admittedly, we had all-aspect missiles when I first launched the mission, so it was never an issue. I'd hate to start making some changes while knowing the F1 and the F-4 are coming. The only problem is, we have no idea when!

At least 10 vs 10 would do. It doesn't look like it though. If we don't get the numbers until Friday, I'm afraid I'll have to call it off. Shame.

Server News: The Helicopters Tournament 15 kicks off this Saturday, 07.05.2022. Slots are still available. If not enough players sign up I'll cancel it though, and move the new mission, Clash of Eras, to kick off on Saturday instead of Sunday.

Server News: Operation Sukhumi - The Beginning is back online.

Server News: The post for the new mission, Clash of Eras, has been updated to include all briefing images. Turns out I've used all the attachment space allowed for a user on the forums uploading so many images throughout the years, so I had to delete older ones. Reminder: The mission kicks off this Sunday, 08.05.2022, around 1800 zulu.

I'll see what I can do for a... friend

How to pin the text so that it doesn't change size when zooming in and out on the map?

That is also fixed now.

I wouldn't mind increasing the number of Huey slots if more players show interest in it. I only thought that everyone would be hyped for the Apache. Guess I was wrong.

?

Fixed! Thanks for reporting.

Yes.

Server News: - Operation Swedish Delivery kicks off tomorrow, 29.04.2022, around 1800 zulu. - Work on the new MiG-15 vs F-86 mission is almost done. A surprise is included. Some might not like it though, but I'm open to remove it if it's not appreciated - The new mission will hopefully kick off in a week and features the Syria map. Stay tuned... - More older missions will be added to the roster replacing other ones. Just bear with me, please, as some of them require some updating and/or fixing.

Don't worry about it. Real life issues can always be an issue. Happens Blue it is.

That's very good news, just saw that. rossmum and I were talking about some sort of a white list to reserve MiG-29A's and F-14A's for server veterans only. You know, they're often in the "wrong hands" and get wasted quickly.

It's never been removed until now actually. Gotta give older missions a chance and change the roster a bit. Operation Swedish Delivery kicks off today around 1800 zulu.

Server News: - Operation Battle Over Sukhumi Unleashed kicks off this Saturday, 30.04.2022, around 1800 zulu. - Operation Bandar 1949 kicks off this Sunday, 01.05.2022, around 1800 zulu. - Operation Swedish Delivery has been fixed and is now back in the mix. - The missions Fast & Furious and Fight Island are now offline.

You gotta be kidding me! All these beasts flying around and you still pick the Huey. A man of principle By the way, you don't pick a helicopter, just a side and then you take whatever you want. Blue it is then.

Syria map: Can a Spitfire/Mosquito take off from Taftanaz Airbase? It's a helicopter base actually, but has a narrow and relatively short runway. If anyone can check it out, please, let me know. And grab some bombs/rockets maybe to see if that makes it impossible if it is possible without in the first place. Thanks in advance!
