    Mae West now a Zombie mission?

    Was playing this map earlier today and from chat and TS this map seems to have been on continually for a while, longer than it should be?

    At leat 1 player had been playing for 4:07 and the time left function wasnt working.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    May be a coincidence, but Mae West was also on when I briefly went online yesterday evening US Eastern time.

    Hopefully it's not on perpetually! Great if there are lots of folks flying, but could be tough to find action when only a handful are playing.

    Yikes...ZOMBIES!!!!!

    One of the ATAG members has reported this as well to the Server Operator. I notice we’re on New Dawn Fades now, so hopefully the protracted Mae West episode was a one-off. If only you blokes could just turn a map for a change....

    Re: Mae West now a Zombie mission?

    LOL re turning map.

    Thanks for changing Mae West.

    However New Dawn Fades is doing weird things.

    No blue spawn in airfields on the IOW - only Le Havre and up near Calais. Not many blue flyers will want to fly all that way to the IOW.

    Not sure about Red side by TWC Ace said it was weird on red side as well

    No messages about new tgts being found near Salisbury etc.

    No 30 minute message saying Benbridge open etc.

    So it seems there is something not working with the coding perhaps or this is a new version of NDF?

    OK now that is strange. Back down the rabbit hole to check what's going on...

    Hey Kiwi,

    I think NDF might be a zombie candidate as well. I link its been on longer than 4 hours (ie i was playing it over 4 hrs ago i think and its still showing as the in play mission). I think...

    We were online yesterday when Mae West was the mission.
    All the queries like 'time left', 'obj red and blue' etc. did not work.

    Re: Mae West now a Zombie mission?

    ok, one of strangest things ever happened to me on mae west since i play Clod.

    i landed, left the plane by clicking on a flag, then i clicked on "fly" again (to see who landed shots on me once my plane despawn)....and i witnessed my plane taking off again and flying for almost 10 mins before it despawned. It even retracted gear and climbed to about 1 km alt before leveling out.

    I was like WTF.

    sadly i did not record this.

    Hehehe. Fortunately we have our best man on it! In the meantime, let everyone know far and wide that “there are ZOMBIES on the ATAG Server!” We’ll promote it as a feature exclusive to ATAG. Everyone likes shooting zombies!

    Hahaha, gr00ve is clearly so good that he can fly two planes at once! He is his own wingman.

    Re: Mae West now a Zombie mission?

    I logged onto the server at approximately 10PM NZ time when the map in question was on and at that stage the sun was almost 100% set.
    I logged in the following morning before work at around 6:30AM and the same map was on however the sun was just about to rise.

    So I concluded that the same map had indeed been active for at least 8 and a half hours.

    Re: Mae West now a Zombie mission?

    Pre-Blitz I liked Mae West quite well, as I was only flying fighters then.

    Now, with having developed some taste for ground attack, I find it a rather 'difficult' map:
    There are virtually no ground targets for Beaufighters (except suicide attacks on AAA). For bombing red has only the ships, Dieppe airfield and the Dieppe radar. All of these targets are very close together, meaning that you will always run into 109s on your way to target, no matter what course you take. If you are flying alone this is pretty frustrating, but even as a group it is difficult. Yesterday only one of three of our Blennies made it close to target (just to be pked by AAA) and we even had a fighter for cover.
