Well there's still some occasional ghost dots, but I have no idea why

But I've found a way to avoid them.

A couple things:

Make sure you have your chat window (the customizable one) to include the "voice" option. That will make all radar announcements appear as text and with the mission there will be plenty of announcements as there are plenty of bombers flying around

I've found that the radar only pickups moving planes (aka real ones!). The other thing is if you approaching a group head on and they don't appear to move across the sky, then they are more than likely a ghost dot. Lets just say, I've yet to see a ghost dot move. They are usually suspended in the air for w/e reason.

But definitely turn the radar part on in your chat window. And for the sound issue make sure your voices/speech tab under the audio controls is unchecked/muted.

Was a very much improved environment I have to say. Ran smoothly with little or no stuttering. Guess the ghost planes we just have to avoid right now. Great to see some population though....really helps to make things exciting!

[ATAG_Bliss]

Holy cow! I actually fixed something

No more ghosting / disappearing planes! All stupid ship errors that were causing the stuttering are fixed as well.

There are never ending flights of bombers bombing targets of opportunity and their escorts for both sides everywhere. There are over 75 various different bomber sub-missions that take around 10 hours to complete before the 1st sub-mission is loaded again. All missions have different bomber groups with varying level of difficulty going to different targets. It should never look repetitive. Some of the bomber groups will have very aggressive escorts attached to them. If you go attacking their bombers you better have a wingman or 2 or they will knock you out of the sky.

For those that like COOPs, this is a never ending war where you don't even need another person on the server to have endless amounts of action.

Remember to have your radar turned on (the option "voice" set in your chatbar if you have voices/speech muted) as your radar will be calling out contacts left and right.

And when you spawn and have AAA going off, make sure to look up as your airfield might be in the middle of being carpet bombed

I just had a go on your server to try some online action.

I couldn't find any Spit Mk II's available. A quick search of this thread found that it had been removed back in April for 'balancing reasons'. Could you elaborate a little?

The Spit Mk I and Ia are currently under modelled imo; the top speed seems very low and only one of the two prop pitch positions works properly. I didn't really fancy taking on the might of the Luftwaffe in a Hurricane and don't really want to play as Luftwaffe so the choice was a bit limiting for me.

Anyway. I picked a Spit I and the plane kept drifting/sliding off to the left when it spawned parked up. After firing up the engine and warming it up, I couldn't turn right (even when applying the differential brakes) when taxiing. At that point I gave up and quit out.

I didn't come on your thread to diss you and rubbish your server. Just wanted to give a bit of feedback and ask about the Spit II. Maybe it's a problem at my end (taxiing) but the mission you've set up looks really good so I thought I'd better post my experiences so far.

Bliss ive just come from the Server and ive seen around 10 ghost dots in about half hour...groups of 2 at a time and yes i do have the radar predicting EA

[TomcatViP]

Hi,

What for god sake is that EA radar ?!!!

<dramatic mode = OFF>

I ve seen some of those ghost plane on your server<. it's very disorienting


Regarding mission planing, can we now as CoD hve more players than before switch to a more historically accurate mission planing ? I mean a lot of GERMAN bomber fling toward england and only a very few RAF bomber flying over France.

The way mission are planned for now is a bit disorienting.

Pls think abt the many new players that bought that sim just to play a BoB scenario

Anyway, Great works !
