OPEN STRESS TEST CLOSED - MISSION IS AVAILABLE AS DOWNLOAD

 

After three INTENSE days (well, nights, actually) of work (don't you love Easter!) I've brought "Angels Caucasus" to Germany. I'm now putting the final touches on "Angels Over Germany", and I want you to help stress-test the mission before I release it to the community.

So if you can fly a helicopter, own the new Germany map, and feel like you are up to the challenge of rescuing hordes of medical evacuees in Berlin, Hamburg and Frankfurt, head over to "cfrag's Flight Line" (no password, a Fox3 server, 40 players max) and help save the cold world.

My plan is to release "Angels over Germany" in the next few days, and I appreciate your help stress-testing the mission.

And yes, this map integrates with the other Angels maps, so if you have a history of rescuing people there, your past achievements are shown.

Please add all feedback to this thread.

 

Known issues
- extremely ugly z-fighting on Finkenwerder ground objects. This is a map bug.

Had fun in all 3 regions & 'enjoyed' landing in really tight spaces where you really don't want to land.

Used Huey, Gazelle & Hip, the only issues were on first flying a machine the FPS bounced low & high for the first minute or so, especially in Berlin, then back to normal, and switching slot from the Gazelle to Huey the VRAM used was around 13GB for a minute or so then dropped to the normal 5GB used for a Huey, so probably just the norm for a busy map?

It's a great way to do some sightseeing on a really excellent new map, so thanks for creating this so quickly.

Had another session with Huey & Gazelle in both HH & FR, all went smoothly with good FPS over many rescues.

Tried the medium fog setting which was fine with no FPS impact but turned it off as sightseeing was more fun.

A minor thing was twice when en route to a *critical* I passed near another pilot who popped smoke and called 'you are close',  both times I used the F1 option to see how far it was to the critical pilot but each time that the list of outstanding csar details was displayed it immediately disappeared and was replaced by the just 'you are close' message.

Selecting the F1 option a second time brought up the list of all current csar's again which then remained on screen as per usual.

Thanks for creating the Angels mission so quickly for the Germany map. I enjoy your missions a lot!

I hope we will some day also see your other creations (lawnmower, CESAR, Hover damn, Helo haul etc) make an appearance for the Germany map. They are my goto missions for some quick helicopter training.

Checked in on the test server earlier today. Excellent way to explore these beautifully modelled cities!

Thanks cfrag!
