Not sure if anyone else noticed but this map is in 0.607 open beta. Very nice "training" map. All ground vehicles, helicopters (Apache, z0mg) and jets. Also a very small firing range. Challenger 2 is in the map for those of you who can't wait to use it, though I think it's still work in progress. There are also some extra vehicles, like the Gaz69. M82/dual uzis, M95, and insurgent squad leader(?) pick up kits, which this kit has the AKS74u, sounds like the AK-101. Oh yeah, the Osprey is on the map too, couldn't get inside it though...
Challenger 2
BMP-3
CROWS(?)
z0mg t3h M95z0rz!

Its mainly used for testing vehicles and such, hence why we have every vehicle in the mod included in that map.
It shouldn't be in the open beta test build though, lol. But seeing as it is in there, please feel free to have a mess around. You can always help test by breaking vehicles how you wish.

Oh come now, let the community in on it. It's a nice feature to let us, the community, stress test everything in one big map. We may think of things the testers never thought off, we may experience problems the testers would never face, and, we get to do a little practice, which any player in the game would like to have before jumping in the seat of Airplane ACB123 and trying it out, especially when the options are test in server and get yelled out for wasting assets or find a server to practice on that might not be running a map that has what you want to practice in.

The map is a little small to fly around because it's only a 32 player map size.

Ive found out, that every jet, except for Osprey and Frogfoot asks you to have a Pilot kit, when you already have one. wtf?

Spaz you in RGG squad !!!
on topic *
yes i found it a little small but still i didnt just test the jets, i was trying the new weapons, land vehicles etc. I think i may have found a small bug once i jumped into any kind of jet apart from the new US one, it told me i needed a pilot kit, of which i had.
i'll jump on in a few more minuetes and test all the air vehicles, get a few screens and then post on the forums.

I think that bug should only be on this map because you probably need the US pilot kit and not the British pilot kit. Not sure, you may have to change the init.con teams around to US vs MEC. The kit bug happens to some vehicles on this map, I noticed. Shouldn't have to worry about this bug on the official PR maps though.

It's also very laggy, I tried to land and turned to face all of the vehicles, next thing I know I'm doing donuts in that little crater-ish area.

Yeah, that map is pretty laggy lol. I tried out the shooting range, which is kinda nice. Osprey is fun, so is that CROWS(?) Humvee.

Well I for one, am glad it was accidentally released. Ever since BF2 came out i was wishing for a practice range to get used to the controls. This(BF2) is my 1st online game I have been involved with, so I always wanted just some big are just to mess around in, with all the vehicles. Very noob friendly
