Also when I see an alert about incoming aircraft that are detected it lists a city name that I have never heard of. I want to help them out and fly to the city but I have no clue where it is. It would be nice if the grid coordinates were also included. There's so many city names on the map and you have to zoom in to see them all it would really help out.

Should I mention other key coastal names?:-
'Thanet' ('Isle of Thanet' but you can't easily see the river that cuts it off into an island).
That lump or 'nose' on the end of Kent.
Home of Manston and Ramsgate airfields. Note Margate on the North side.
Often referred in-game simply as Manston or Ramsgate:

Others that actually are named on the CoD map:-

'Deal'

'Dunkirk' (Dunquerque?)

'Calais'

'Boulogne'

Nice work, Klem.

And how can we forget that other JTDawg-ism: "Mansgate"! LOL

(The combining of "Manston" and "Ramsgate" -- very handy in the heat of a dogfight when you're in a flatspin trying to give your location over Teamspeak. Hahaha)

We should also define the Whiskey Trail, which I'm pretty sure is taking a direct route to Calais, especially when taking off from "Mansgate".

I think the OP also couldn't find a city named in a radar alert. I've had that happen, too, and only found a name once after zooming in more closely on the map until more city names were visible, then looking verrry carefully.

Hi fellas,

I've been away for a few weeks with traveling on business and had a death in the family. I figured we would have had a patch by now so I could throw some other missions in, but I guess that's not happening for another few weeks (I hope!) So in the time being, I'm going to modify some of these missions to be able to run them in the current format of the game (launcher crash time constraints). I understand the same thing gets old all the time.

There will be some also be some maps with the IIa/E4 (both limited) and some early morning/late in the day stuff just to change it up a bit. Hoping the 1st one can get done sometime this weekend, and that we can incorporate it into a red wins = map A, blue wins = map B etc., type thing. No promises, but that's what's being worked on atm. Making a mission work right in this state of the game isn't very easy lol. So hold on to your shorts

It also looks like the steam stats thingy took a crap.

Welcome back Bliss

New mission up on Server 2. Yes it's the same battle area and shares many of the same airfields etc. Not much I can do on that front until the CTD's are solved. But it has a slightly different planeset and different objectives.

It starts at the butt crack of dawn (the forward fields have runway lights). And the new objectives include ships. Sadly ships aren't grouped together like airplanes in this sim yet, so I had to code 17 objectives just for the ships alone .

Anyhow it's 90% done (it still shares the same AI flights as server 1 currently) but I would appreciate any feedback. The objectives aren't going to be easy

Bliss, does the setting in FMB for the battle area have an effect on CDTs? Are they worse the larger the Battle Area?
