I guess we could drop the tank server during the week and use it for training and practice. I will have a look at building a new map that could be run on the server that has both elements, a tank range, a bombing / ground attack range for aircraft as well as a nice big concrete runway for testing take offs and taxiing. How would that sound?

A skin depicting an Ar234 as a nightfighter of Erprobungskommando in March 1945. The actual aircraft had radar antennae so it's semi historical. This skin has the gunpod painted black to fit in with the overall scheme. I couldn't see how the upper surfaces scheme fitted in at night but the piccie shows just how it did....I think I have looked for schemes for this aircraft but most are included as default....if anyone finds one that's different please let me know. A Git production using the official template.

Could we have a training map? Many times I have heard people say that they are unfamiliar with the aircraft in the mission. Sid has done a great job helping people on a Thursday morning but if we had a map with cold dark starts for all aircraft on our server and airstarts for level bombing with an obvious target it would be easier to help anyone who needs a hand with honing their skills before coops.

I think it would be a very useable map if you were able to do it Friar 👍 I am assuming the time of day would have to be set or does it depend on the real time of day and the time the map is in rotation? To have it available to use for training and practice is an ideal situation as it means a bunch could use it at the same time. However, an individual could set themselves up in the quick mission builder and select either a simple flight or use the advanced selection that gives specific targets for specific aircraft eg. airfields or other targets for level bombing if that is the aircraft's role. Time of day can be selected on either but I don't believe you can select a 'cold start' in the advanced builder. A list of airfields used operationally by Ar234s is here but others eg. Deelen (north of Arnhem) work aswell.

Fen to the rescue!

Perhaps we need to watch for increased traffic to the site? Use it to try and do a bit more recruiting perhaps? I can do a bulk email to people who have visited the site recently and ask if they are looking for a squad perhaps?
