Where did the training mode go?

The COOP will do everything you need, sure no fast vehicle respawn but PR isnt about that.

If training mode returns it will not be what we had before. It will be a training like map with no DM battles.

The fast respawning vehicles were the whole point of training. Without that, there is no real way to test out the different vehicles and get a feel for how they handle before you jump right into it on a regular server.

With the influx of new players, and the absence of training mode, I'm simply gonna stay faaaar away from any kinda helicopter for the next few months.

plus the rounds are way too short with this ticket drop.

Training mode got removed for a watered down version of AAS..

You don't need Training mode to practice flying helicopters you can create a local server.

As for fast respawn times if you really want them you can set them yourself. For example if you wanted to modify spawn times on Kashan you'd goto \mods\pr\levels\kashan_desert, open server.zip and browse to GameModes\gpm_coop then open GamePlayObjects.con in notepad. Scroll down to the vehicle/aircraft you want to spawn quicker and change these values:
ObjectTemplate.minSpawnDelay 180
ObjectTemplate.maxSpawnDelay 180

It's imporant to backup the file you're editing so you can revert back to the default version to play online.

Yea see thats the problem right there.

With a local server you only have a few choppers of a single type pr. map. If you blow them all up practicing or you wanna try out another type of chopper you have to load a new map, which is a pain in the ass.

And you're right, you can do it yourself. But how many ppl are gonna go edit their PR files before they go flip full choppers on public servers?

Its simply not convinient like the training mode was, and that means not a lot of ppl is gonna use it.

Personally I choose to create a local server if I want to test or develop something! It worked pretty fine until now.

44 bots vs 5 humans is more training than you'll ever need

its so hard that you have to resort to using TOW platforms on Ramiel :P

You can also edit your maps to have different choppers.

Not many I know, just advising people that they can do it. Otherwise they can deal with the spawn times and map load times.

Sure it's not as convenient, but since the DEVs were so displeased with how training mode turned out it will have to do for now.

dude what are you talking about "the Coop will do everything you need"? Dude I tried coop, all the helicopters handle completely differently, I don't know why its that way but it is. And the main thing people are gonna train for are helo's, so... wtf? the coop isn't gonna help us at all

[[R-COM]rushn]

they should bring back co op but have it in training mode

fast re spawn dum enemies and etc

Good.

The more people who choose not to fly on a live server because they are the slightest bit unconfident in their flying skills, the better.
