Do you think you have what it takes to be the best Flettner pilot in the game? Now is the time to put your skills to the ultimate test.
In this BF1942: Secret Weapons tournament, 8 pilots will fight in a knockout tournament that starts at the Quarter-Finals.
The tournament map will be the Flettner Arena map, which can be downloaded here. You must have the Secret Weapons expansion in order for this map to work. Install instructions are provided in the README file which is found inside the "Flettner Arena.zip" file.
In this cup, there is room for 8 contestants. Signing up for the cup is done on a first come, first served basis. All cup registration will be handled on this topic, and cup progress will be posted here. There is no need to register anywhere else, nor is there any need to track the progress of the cup on a third-party website.
At present, I have been told that it does not show up in the master server list, so you must add the server manually using the IP:Port combination in the banner to join it. The server password is "tournament" (without brackets).
On the first post of this thread, the cup start date, list of contestants and progress will all be available.
To sign up for the cup, simply provide the following information:
A) Your nickname for the tournament
B) A date and time when you are available
C) Country
Requirements to be a cup contestant:
1. You must be registered on the SiMPLE forums
2. You must have BF1942: Secret Weapons of WWII expansion
3. You must download and install the Flettner Arena map on your computer
The sign up process will close once we have 8 registrations. When the full number of contestants is reached, the "CUP LIVE DATE" (the date on which the cup starts) will be posted here.
If someone wants to live stream the matches, you are free to do so. As a cup contestant you are also encouraged to film your matches, but this is not mandatory.
Match rules
1) All matches will take place on the SiMPLE RtR/SW Tournaments server
2) The game mode for the cup is Conquest, you must fight for the middle flag in the air and hold it
3) Match time is set to 20 minutes, for only 1 round
4) It is forbidden to attack ground targets, you may only score a frag if both helicopter pilots are airborne
5) Attacking the enemy uncap is forbidden. Combat vs the enemy engages as soon as one pilot leaves his main base
6) It is permitted to retreat to your main base to repair. Helipads are available in the main bases for that purpose
7) Screenshots of every match results must be taken at the end of each round, or the match will not be valid

don't get a big DICK
Congrats, deserved win. Looking forward 2v2 flettner tournament with 2 rounds.
Before this tournament is hosted we need to figure out a way to reduce the lag caused by the Flettner propellers because 4 Flettners flying around will result in a massive lagfest.
Aight so this should hopefully get rid of some lag http://bfo.pm/maps/flettner_arena_updated.zip
It goes in the BF1942 levels folder and is independent, so you dont need the expansions packs. Toogle hud easy with F1 for recordings.
Thanks bud! Very cool.
I dont know why nobody posted video of final round, so here we go:

Thanks to Jim for recording!

True, that's pre-final round, forgot
Guess I didn't miss something (fun), right?

Just a quick question what was the code you changed to get rid of the lag and it is possible to bind another key to the HUD toggle? What would be the code for that?
Hmm i cut out a lot of unnessesary networkinfo, some engines and what not that doesnt have any sound anyway. I guess you seen i made an axis and a allied version (just the names, u can change to own liking)
I dont remember the exact code for the hud toggle, but yes it can be changed. Ill look into it, witch button should be used?
edit: two engines netinfo (invisible help engines) and the rudders netinfo.
Made a patch file with extra key binding to ConsoleScript #5 and put it on numpad 1 to toogle hud on/off
mapfile http://bfo.pm/maps/flettner_arena.rfa
Patchfile http://bfo.pm/maps/flettner_arena_001.rfa
edit2: im really interested how this works with many players, if the lag is a bit less or totally gone.
Cheers!
edit3: I made a server as im curious how the modded flettners works.

Thanks I'll add that to the server!
Hi bud, so Flettnerman and I were just playing the updated flettner_arena maps that you made and I was wondering why two different Flettner vehicles were created? There seems to be one Flettner for each team and I was wondering why that is. Also, there is no central flag in Conquest mode. I'll add it there as soon as I can.
Do you mind posting the code that you modified to reduce the lag here so we can take a look at it please?
EDIT: I just saw your old post about the new patch you made. I wanted to add that the lag does indeed reduce. I did not have the lag warning message even once while playing. Great job!

It was easier to make some "new" flettners then trying to alter around with the old one. Its basically renamed clones, this way the game doesnt try to overwrite anything from the standard laggy flettners code.

I can only add one thing is was too hard to aim on long distance, this left-right moves was too uncontrolable for me with enabled mod, after turning off it become easier. But anyway good work with this, no con probs during the match.
PS: Video from that match.
