I'll get my squad on sometime and do some testing, report back later.

I hear you. I was surprised myself, because I also never experienced them myself.
Weather conditions are still default and the planes made contrails at 7000m.

From the feedback I got on Repka1 mission I know that players do not like fighting AI fighters usually. I would suggest replacing all single-engine AI fighters with 2-engine fighters to let players know that if they engage a single-engine fighter it is definitely a human player flying it.

Well, I first made the map, as I was used to from 1946 DF maps with a little scenery with static objects, crates, tables, tents and generally life. Then I deleted 95% of all the stuff I spent hours placing them.
You can either have life and scenerey on a map, or AI flights, but not both, as I found out. So the screenshots with a lot of scenerey like the one from Dover are not what you find online. That is just not possible, if you want to have loading times under 5 minutes. Well, maybe someday...

For the AI fighter, well, as stated in the introduction, we focus on historically orientation, not on popularity. I don´t have the time to babysit a puplic server as it would be necessary. The mapdesign is not suited for the default DF server pilot. That is not intended to reflect a bad opinion, I also like the fast action servers, which focus on 1vs1 multiplayer and do not have the time to spent 2 hours for one mission, but sometimes I am just looking for this, and have not found this on puplic servers, so I thought, why not go this way with our server. We discusses this internally and dediced to have the luxury freedom of doing the mission, how we like them, so we are not going to please any players, but maybe there are players which also like that kind of missions.

PS: I forgt to mention, that the server will not be on 24/7, as I or we don´t have the chance to babysit steam all the time.
