Now we have noobs training in muttrah city. It sucks.


(Plus how am I going to learn how to fly airplanes?)

Practice on the server that Acemantura gave an IP to?

1 .Make a new copy of PR...by installing 0.8.

2. Train on that.

3. Profit.

I think Sp is a good way to learn how to fly and moving in PR 0.9

Flying is learnable on Single Player Kashan Desert map try it !!

I personally wish they had kept training servers, Without them, PR is completely ruined on many servers. I was playing on a server with 64 players, at least half of them were unsure how to use the assets they grabbed... But especially maps with attack choppers and planes are experiencing terrible problems, noobs grabbing planes and smashing them into the walls of the base, attack choppers flipping a few seconds after they spawn. If training servers are not brought back, i'm considering boycotting Project Reality. A lot of experience players are pissed as well. I do understand why they removed training servers, but I think they should be designed better and brought back. All in all the pro's of the training servers Definitely beat out the cons.

SO PLEASE! Don't ruin this amazing "Game", At least bring back training servers for offline use only, then clans can use hamachi to train together.

cons of this are;
- people have slow internet so takes time to download
- some people prefere not to use up lots of space on their hardrive
- you can't ask anyone questions on that ro train with anyone else unless they also download it

I only started playing this game with v0.91 but I really want some way to train with Heli's. In vanilla I just created a local game and set the spawn time to 1s and could fly them competently within 45 minutes as as soon as I crashed it took maybe 20s to get back in flight. But in PR I have to wait 60s after every crash and after I use up all the helos its faster to restart the game than wait for them to respawn.

Most servers also have a "DO NOT TRAIN HERE!" rule, but there are absolutely no easy alternatives and so people do often take the assets and crash them into mountains etc. I guess the alternatives suggested here are okay for the more experienced players, but it doesn't really help the newer players who rarely visit the forums.

I think just a single player mode with instant respawn for the assets and the player, with no kit limits, would be all that's required...

Yeah that is actually why I logged into the forums today. I have been playing PR since 84 and play it a lot. We always had those training servers and it made such a difference. If you wanted to teach a friend how to play it was perfect, and if you didn't want to get pwned you could still join a server with only a few people in it and practice. I have been talking to people on voip about this and everyone agrees that they miss training servers and it was a big help. One guy said the RDEV guys took them out cause too many people were training and messing around instead of playing on deployment. I suppose that was true sometimes, but atleast people had a place to learn. The co op servers really don't provide the best place to learn imo, and the bots are retarded. I am sick of noobs getting into choppers and wrecking them constantly or crashing jets etc. The training server gave the noobs a place to go play around while the hardcore PR vets played legit games. PLEASE BRING BACK TRAINING SERVERS !!!!!!

lets hope someone from the R-DEV crew comment about this. Training servers are needed seems pretty clear.

what i hate is how the planes (the non-hangar planes) and helis handle differently in Coop. This makes it so that people will join a Deployment game thinking they know how to fly, when actually they don't because they handle differently.
