I agree Serebro.

The only other thoughts are- make the teamkiller take the same amount of damage as they inflict. In my mind this would 100% solve the problem, however from my experience, the issue with this approach is engineers would receive damage if their mine was hit by a friendly. From what I was told, rectifying this situation is not possible with a server mod, it would also require a client map download.
Perhaps I'm incorrect.

Fernando consistently does nothing in the game but talk- rarely kills or scores points.
I think he's just here to cause trouble.

We have finally resolved our Teamspeak sound issue- we finally noticed that when one particular user entered the TS channel- my microphone sound volume would suddenly become lower to another particular user (Not the one who entered and triggered the problem)- however not to the other users in the channel- this made me curious- I reviewed the user permissions and noticed that the user that was triggering the issue had no admin privileges.  I elevated this user up to the same permission levels as all the other users and the microphone low sound problem instantly was resolved.
Never underestimate the power of deductive reasoning.
I have no idea why this was causing a problem or why assigning admin corrected the problem-

We are only guest here- without input on how the maps are modded of how the server is operated. 
Sadly, if the map is really not to my taste, I simply disconnect for the night and try again the next day.
Everyone has a different idea as to what maps they like, and I respect their choices.

If there is anyone among us that can do something to eliminate the cockpit view- I will reward you for your effort $$$-

I hope this offer will entice someone with the skills to work on a solution to this request.

You are a true gentleman- It is so nice to see a skilled player use restraint- and allow others to have a chance for a enjoyable game.

When I was growing up, If you started a fight, you couldn't complain about the outcome-
It is a sad situation, however It could have been predicted, however I do think the response from Israel was underestimated. Has the kill ratio exceed 50 to 1 at this point?

If you mess with the bull, don't complain when you get the horn.

We travel in the same circle. The force feedback stick uses the same technology for tracking. I think you will like it, after you get accustomed to it. It does however require a light touch compared to a potentiometer type.

It is however a shame that games including Battlefield 1942 don't properly support the force feedback feature. There would have been so many cool things that force feedback could have been used for, such as indicating a stall condition, or even bullet impacts on your plane. (Bullet impacts wouldn't really apply much to you- since you are seldom hit)

Anything that would reduce the long wait for planes would be good.

I guess I'm a little biased towards maps with planes- I played when the game was new- stepped away for a long time and came back when life's circumstances allowed it.
Now I'm trying to learn to fly- it's a slow go, compounded by maps with a lack of planes compared to players wanting to fly. This leads to long plane waits, and undesirable behavior from players waiting for planes. Probably a lot like real life- long lines lead to short tempers.

The very talented developer Henk was doing the mod- I don't know what method he was employing. He worked on it for a while and determined it was not possible- without requiring players to download a map.
An AA position on the Axis carrier deck would alleviate the nuisance loop bombers I believe.
Henk did a couple of other interesting things with the Axis carrier that are no longer being used.  On the original Oz Wake server park bombing is really a problem- there are certain players who make it their life's work to park bomb the carrier at the start of a match and sink the carrier in 15 seconds.
There were a couple approaches employed to mitigate this behavior:
(1) When an enemy plane landed on the carrier deck or flew lower than one meter above the carrier deck, the plane and it's contents were destroyed.
(2) If an enemy player parachuted on the carrier deck- he was free to cause any mayhem that brought him pleasure- but if he entered a axis plane on the deck- he was immediately terminated.

As you can imagine- these changes 100% solved the problems- with an unintended consequence- players hated this new game behavior.

Reluctantly- this new carrier protection behavior was removed, and talking to offending players to try to have them modify their behavior was reinstated. As expected, counseling offenders has had little effect on correcting their behavior.

Like the literally hundreds of other empty servers, Oz Wake 2 stands empty 99.999% of the time.
It stands as a testament to my good intentions gone awry.

I went another way- and got it working perfectly-

Ryan has returned. The review process works.
Many thanks

Hopefully this will be resolved- Ryan is a good guy- and really enjoys playing on Simple, and as you know, finding a good server to play on is getting more difficult by the day. It seems that players are disappearing into the ether- not to play on another server- but to likely play other games.
