    must have been a server reset.
    it is possible for server admins to start a new ToD on the last map (ETO) and set the time to where it was.
    but the scorepage will create it's own RPS-entry, so i think we don't modify the new ToD.

    [update 2007-03-07 13:38]
    the last ToD have had only 5 days because of a server-reset. but fatale is right: the normal ToD has around two weeks.

    sorry, you are right.
    LASTMONTH is at all Maps 68 (1945-08).
    Because the ToD is starting in the Month 1940-08 (Month 7), the ToD simulates 62 Months.
    At all Maps LASTMONTHDAY is 4, so every month has 3 days with 2 real hours.
    Every ToD need 62 * 3 * 2 = 372 hours or 15.5 days.
    a few years ago Lastmonthday=4 meant 4 days per month.

    30 days per ToD means every Map is available only 3 times per year. i doubt, that there is a mayority for such a long tod, but a change is possible.

    is it possible to have New Guinea in map rotation? i liked the fact that it had less fields and bigger distances. i hope it will discourage quakeing, like bigmed does

    in my experience it was the map with most unhappy people.
    many jeep-fights at the very close fields.
    but i would like to see this map in the rotation, if this ToD is faster than the others (maybe only one week).

    i think, sonar and me don't want to restart/continue the map from 2007-03-05.

    i have no TA to test it. i can set fields to grey with no planes available. but maybe any color can capture these deactivated fields. i believe, at least after a reset the fields are all normal again.

    Humm... you mean that 109 and 190 do not have the same fuel range as a P-51 and P-38 ?
