Jasta 5 Server - Flugpark Upgrade & Photo Recon Mission

[J5_Matthias 18]

Happy New Year everyone!

We're kicking 2019 off in style with a revamp of our Flugpark.

 

Change list

- Both sides get new non moving vehicle dummy target ranges in the backfield.  IFFs changed to neutral.

- Aerial drone and vehicle dummy range locations moved into the backfield.   IFFs changed to neutral.

- Patrol airstarts moved and added to encourage centralized combat and allow bouncing of enemy pilots attacking rookies in the backfield.

- Defenses added to the airfields to discourage attacks on traffic in the pattern or on the field.

- Aerial patrol zones against AI fighters moved to not encroach on either PvP or rookie target ranges.

- Ship bombing targets moved to encourage centralized PvP combat

- AAA defenses added over the center to assist with spotting enemy aircraft.

- Camel, U-2, and Pfalz D IIIa now available at the airfields as appropriate.

- Central Tank Hangar moved to prevent tank being flooded on spawn in.

- New photo recon mission added in the center for PvP.  Utilizes the new U-2 biplane.  Entente only for the time being.  This mission does NOT use the ROF style Photo Recon script (not yet revamped for FC) , but requires multiple straight and level passes.  Optimal altitude to minimize passes is 2100m, but you can run it between 1400m and 2800m.

 

Have fun and feel free to report any bugs or issues in this thread.

Salute,

Matthias

As I am away from my PC at the moment, can you tell me is this multiplayer password protected for members only?

Thanks and happy new year to all.

No, our FC server is open to the public.

I do like that map, J5_Matthias!

Lots of pondering into that;

My, my … think about that one, 2 x 2 airstarts )))

It's not totally new, but currently it's 100% dedicated to FCs on weekdays and then we bring it down for part of the weekend to run ROF.  Unintentional benefit of this schedule -  we're not competing with JG1 for traffic.

Ah, okay, thx Matthias! I flew RoF a long time, but then the player numbers went down more and more.
Must check it out next weekend. 

 

I hope you'll build something like "Bloody April" for FC, when it is out.

Happy New Year and Salute Matt,

Sounds really good! I'll check in to-night and try it out.

Salute!
