External views are set to OFF finally on Repka #1. (after next restart)

The mission is still in beta, will get a new version hopefully next week.

Moved to MS Server 2008.

Mission version updated, fixed some bugs.

Here is my version English........


[Army Red]
<Name>
Army Red
<Description>
A surprise counter-offensive against the Axis ground invasion codenamed 'Operation Sea Lion' has begun. Ground forces are now en-route to France to capture and secure strategic areas. If our ground forces succeed, this should force the Axis into re-calling their ships back to mainland France to counter the Britsh offensive.

The role of the RAF is to protect and assist our ground forces. This includes ground forces that are en-route, those protecting strategic coastal locations (if under attack) and ground forces that have successfully landed in France.

Do your best to help our ground forces take and secure enemy ground whilst protecting our own.

The quantity of available Spitfire IIa and Bf-109E4 depends on the number of airfields we control. Fight hard to deny the enemy using superior aircraft.

* Fighters, escort our ships to France and intercept enemy bombers attacking our ships at all costs!
* Bombers, sink enemy ships approaching our coastal positions.

Couple issues, bugs or user errors to be determined.

1.) Last couple of days Calais has shown occupied by red, idicated by frontline pushed to the south of Calais, I have yet to find a singe red unit or ship in the area. I have found a column of friendly vehicles E of Calais on the coast. That is all.

2.) On several occasions I have seleceted a 110C7, equipped my usual assortment of fuel and bombs, click ok and when it is time to hit create it doesnt let me. I have to go through the whole process of choosing airfield(the same one) and sorting out my loadout(saved from previous attempt just double checking) then hitting ok and create. But then I usually wont have any bombs equiped even though I looked and checked on them at the loadout screen. Has happend 2 out of 3 times I have flown the 110C7 from Caffiers. I like to think of myself as an experienced 110 driver. So mistakes should me minimal in armament loadout.

3.) My ping is usually around 160'ish. Last two time I've flown I've been disconnected from server. Is my ping too high and I am getting autockicked? My connection is rocksteady as in I can immediately connect to the internet and join the server again right away so no drops in connection on my end. I can look at my modem and see if it loses sync or connect and neither is the case.

I thoroughly enjoy your server and really think you are onto something with this dynamic online battle. However, if I spend all my time circling an empty Calais looking for enemy ground units that apparently do not exist or go to intercept a bomber only to get kicked off the server due to unknown connection errors, it will make me less than enthusiastic to join the server in the future.

Thank you.

Thank you very much sir!
Loaded it to the server. Will be online after the next server restart. It may not fit the screen 100% as there is no vertical scrollbar yet but a briefing space can be extended horizontally. Let's hope for the fix with the official patch (issue have been reported to the devs).

Anyone eager to help with the Axis side briefing? Now you sure envy your opposition :)

BTW. I found a way to make multi-language briefings in similar way to the off-line briefings naming convention. Therefore if someone provides the same text in German or French or Italian or Bambara, we can have it included.

Thank you for feedback. I reported the issues to the author, Small_Bee.

The mission is still in its early development stage and has about 6000 lines of code. It is very important to track bugs and problems. Thank you for details you provided.

I hope Small_Bee can find the cause of the bombs bug. Maybe it is a dynamically loading spawnpoints which can be reloaded again while you are in the load-out menu. The mission reloads spawnpoints periodically to allow airfield capture mechanics.

There are some known bugs with frontlines but ground units can be attacking deep into enemy lines and not necessarily be found on the coast itself. Usually players cooperate in TS and tell each other where the ground units have advanced from the coast.

The autokick utility has been just written 2 days ago and also being beta/alpha-tested. Max allowed ping is set at 300 for now. However it is still being worked on and may have some bugs. Players are supposed to receive several warning messages before being kicked.

As stated above all this is very much WIP and will be improved step by step. Thank you very much for your help and support!

flew on your operation sea lion server tonight, along with several other SYN members, we all really enjoyed it, fantastic server, no lag, no issues, no ghost dots, just plain sailing(or flying) , thankyou repka :)

Definitely the best experience I have had with IL2:Clod so far....and yes, that includes our own server!. Really well done, guys!!

Thank you for feedback, SYN! All credits go to mission developer Small_Bee and server owner BigRepa @ sukhoi.ru.

I love your RoF server btw when I feel like flying something else than CloD.

Blenheims teamwork on Repka #1.

Good to see bombers flying in groups.

Where are the Axis fighters btw? lol
