TT agreed to include a fixed version of Glacier flying in the patch but they don't have a mapper on-board, so it would need to be a community provided fix. Read about that: here.
I'm unfortunately nor modder, nor mapper but if I understood it correctly this is what needs to be done:
* use levelRedit to get the lvl file for GlacierTS, which doesn't have much of the problems Glacier Flying has
* add flying to GlacierTS
* check if the other known bugs such as mines falling through the ground (as well as repair beam), FPS problems and VIS problems also occur on this map
* fix those bugs
* test the map thoroughly
OK, easier said than done but I know we got the talent in this community to do this. So, who's willing to spend some time on this project?

I think there are no obvious balance issues, it's a very open map.

Now as I understand it, you guys are getting the repair beam issue fixed, now do you know if the mines are appearing in the center of the map because they are falling through the map, or if its caused because of some glitch with the repair pad beams themselves. Or perhaps thats where mines always appear on any maps when ever they seem to just magically disappear?

I would help with fixing VIS glitches after VIS re-generation Jerad.
If you need help with that - send me PM.

Depends on your definition of mapper, I do all the LE based mapping work for AR... actual modelling and such I can't do though.
As for leaving it with no VIS... I don't think that's a good idea, it's a big map to be rendering the whole thing all the time... VIS errors can be fixed by creating manual VIS sample points, there's a tutorial on it somewhere.

it would be easier to start the map from scratch you whould just have to readd all the pts and spawners and waypaths and evrything else.
|
light nodes, harvester zones, spawners, beacon zones, beacon pedestals, purchase objects, set the sky and other environment settings, make sure that the harvesters harvesting time is about the same for both teams, and finally, replace any other objects that are not automatically placed onto the map.
Yeah, that definitely is easier then just using level reedit and making adjustments to anything thats not working correctly...

Thats definitly the hardest and the most timeconsuming part (except VIS glitch fixing) of LE-Work.
