This Thursday at 8:00 eastern will be our first coordinated mission night featuring the new content from O.N.E., and while we have been cooking everything up I have also been hard at work preparing new missions to take advantage of the maps and content. I may also be on the server early doing testing.

There are already I think about ten brand new missions on the server leveraging the new O.N.E. content, including the alpha releases of the Dynamic Mission Machine and Invasion.

We will be playing through as many of these missions as we can, as hard and fast as we can, to detect any bugs that may have slipped through (in my missions -- I believe O.N.E. to be spotless at this point, with any luck). At the end we will shift into DMM and Invasion and test those.

I will also explain the new systems that pilots need to be familiarized with, particularly the GPS bombing system and the fastrope system. Don't worry, they're simple and intuitive.

Everyone is encouraged to stop in and make certain they have correctly configured their O.N.E. install and can join in-progress O.N.E. missions! Next Monday will NOT feature any installation hand-holding during gameplay time, so if you're not sure about it, come on Thursday and we'll get you sorted out!

See you there!

I'll be there to test, at least for a little while.

I'm already planning a couple of missions using the new ONE addons, too.

I will try to free my schedule. I hate having been away from MM and TT for sometime.

Oh, there's a Kiowa mission too, I forgot. It's a fun one -- simple.

I plan to be joining this tonight, downloading everything as soon as I get off work. I just got signed up to recieve O.N.E. so I hope it can be downloaded within an hour or so. Looks like there has been an incredible amount of effort put into this, very impressive by everyone involved!

Just wanted to say great stuff! Missions were intense and balanced, and worked pretty damn good minus a few quirks (which was to be expected). Don't beat yourself up too hard Tao, we know you and adlabs work(ed) hard to get this rolling. I myself wish I only had the patience (and attention span) to do what you do lol!

Overall a great success IMO! Thanks again everyone.

Agree...Tao...although ppl rib on ya...great work. Ribbing is just for fun...

The invasion may need some tweaking. Meatshield and myself were on earlier and we ended up getting hit at the main base by the entire russian airforce. At one one point there were literally 10-15 hinds and KA's over the main base...thats why you saw 3 Hinds and a KA at the base. They made hard intact landings smile

I have a bradley and was attacked by 4 frogs...i lasted about .0002 seconds. All in all though, great atmosphere, new maps are great.

Yes I'm glad all of the mods and maps have gone on without a hitch.

A variety of bugs in my missions though! I'll work on them Sunday if I can and try to have critical fixes ready for Monday. Invasion and DMM may not get any love until after Monday though -- I have a tough schedule right now!

Glad to hear things went well tonight. I had a bit of an unexpected problem that prevented me from playing... Hard drive failure!

Oh the joys of a full reinstall of everything in the universe! biggrin

I will check my problems with the OH-58D model this weekend. Maybe my ArmA 2 is messed up. I had just the red screen, yellow targets for the thermal and could not zoom at all. Same thing happens when I use the Metis.

Tao, what is the name of that mission and do you have any other 58D missions on the server for me to test?
