and ZaltysZ http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...5&postcount=16 because I assumed everyone interested followed that thread.
The part "// destroys crushlanded aircraft in 10 minutes" came directly from developers at sukhoi.ru forums.

I know nothing on C# besides copy-and-paste to Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express. Please feel free to use and modify the scripts.

Thanks for the server, tried it yesterday but had major issues.

Choose red, and every time i spawned my plane would blow up or get turned upside-down. Tried 5 or 6 times, using different spawn points and different planes. I gave up in the end and left the server.

This is the map issue which we can not edit and the Devs are working on it.

Do not give up. If I explode I hit create again immediately and spawn at a good location the 2nd time. Try a new version tonight please.

Didn't want to give up.. but after 6 times in a row i'd had enough.. but it won't put me off trying again. It does need fixing though.. i'm sure it will frustrate other too.

Thanks again for the server. :)

Yes, as far as I know only 6970 and maybe 6950. I never had any lines with any settings

Ppl say 8x AA or aniso set in drivers may help you.

New maps are put up on both Repka servers.

Repka DS #1 - France map with 5 small missions loading into the main mission creating a living airwar environment with various objectives. (uses this script http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...6&postcount=95 )

Repka DS #2 - completely reworked carriers map for good old IL-2 dogfight.

Feedback is appreciated.

ATM players experience long mission loading time on Repka #1 because landed aircraft are not removed quickly enough by the script we are running and number of objects in the mission increases every hour.

While we are working on the issue please be patient when mission loads. It may take 2-3 minutes atm. The server will be restarted at 16.00 GMT, you are welcome to join it later tonight when you can.

i like the server and i play on it but i experience alot of netlagg (warping) from other planes they jump around alot so shooting something down is very hard my Ping is good always under 60ms
and its the only server i get it on.
its a shame as i love the maps it play

Ping and netlag are different things. I have seen some aircraft lagging today but not all at the same time. There could be a problem however due to too many objects on the server at the same time. We had to reduce number of aircrafts in missions by about 30-40% and increased time between missions to reduce load both on network and processing power.

The new version is up already. Please try it. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Looks like we have found a temporary solution to performance issues in our mission. Repka #1 server will be restarted within 15 minutes with a new version.

You are welcome to join and have some fun tonight. If performance drops we would restart it in 2-3 hours again. Sorry for any inconvenience.

S!

05-14-2011 06:34 AM

Removed map-icons for better immersion. We have to leave externals on for troubleshooting purposes for testing period and to let novice pilots to get accustomed to the map a bit. I have seen some pilots having difficult time trying to find directions. We all started there. Sorry for any inconvenience ext.views may cause.

We set the server to restart every 4 hours to avoid lag. Please get back after restart quickly as restart takes only 1-2 minutes unless we manually update mission files. Then it can take 3-4 minutes.

Thanks for flying! There were 20-30 people on the server yesterday night before we got a repeating server error. Sorry, I was not there to restart it at that time.

Please note: a mission can take 1-2 minutes to load. Be patient please. It is worth it ))

Ataros thanks for the server.. had a blast on it last night. Struggled with fps a bit, but it did not distract from the fun. :)

Hi Ataros,

two of us tried to use the server last night but there is still persistent blowing up when spawning. We had to give up in the end :(

It seems to be either an altitude thing (the a/c lurches around before blowing up) or the fact that these are usually in small shed-shaped brick buildings, not like hangars, and may just be bouncing off the walls when they try to spawn with a wing poking through the wall.

I'd like to know if you have found a way of fixing specific spawn points for a/c or if you are only using Spawn Areas. With Spawn Areas in my missions we have no problem spawning except when we spawn in one of those small curved-roof hangars (there are some at Hawkinge) where the door openings are too small to get through (!) so we just create another a/c but at least they don't blow up. When I set actual Aircaft on the runway for takeoff (with waypoints) all the aircraft spawn in exactly the same place off the runway and if we don't taxi off the spawn point the next spawn blows us up so its a slow process getting a few guys off, especially with the engine warm up periods. If you know any ways round this I'd appreciate it.

Could you please report names of airfields with screenshots of troubled hungars. I'll pass them on to developers. Big hangars were fixed in the last beta based on our reports.

I noticed this issue only at Kokel airfield for Bf-109 and Markiz airfield for Blenheims and Baufighters when spawn at caponiers in my mission.

I will fix Kokel tomorrow by placing a new airfield object on top of the old airfield and moving spawnpoint closer to the center of new airfield. If you do not place a runway aircraft spawn on internal airfield radius. When runway is placed they spawn at external radius if no "airfield points" are placed. Airfield points are bagged as far as I understand, I usually do not use them. Adjust external and internal radius of new airfields to prevent the circles from crossing hangars, buildings or rough terrain.

upd. See mission with Kokel fixed attached.

Thank you very much for your notice.
Sorry, we left Repka #2 that way for developers to check what is going wrong with it as logs can not show all the problems. This morning we noticed some devs visiting the server. Repka#2 is used for testing of new features and hunting bugs. Sorry for any inconvenience it may cause. I think this will allow to have a better MP in the future.

Please join Repka #1 which is our primary server, however it also has issues sometimes of cause.

Thanks for your feedback again.

#1 is FullReal with ext. views
#2 has icons on

We are aiming to switch off ext.views soon. As many people do not fly on the server but just watching an airwar movie :grin: If you like airwar movies do not miss the possibility as it will be gone soon :grin:

Both servers were reloaded and are up. I hope we solved the problem you mentioned in your post.

This funny sample mission from the devs is up on Repka #3 server.
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=133

Tanks capture airfields and move the frontline! So please check the frontline position before spawning or you can be killed by an enemy tank on spawn.

Just a sample version. More to come. have fun!

Had a wierd experience last night, logged in and was 1 of only 3 on the server.. spawned a Spitfire at an RAF field nearest the coast and the battle line.. lots of flak going on at the time.. when I first spawned in the fps was going from 2 to 62 did that for about 20 seconds then I exited and created a new plane...same field.. spawned and it worked fine..smooth and no stutters.. don't know if it was communication related or graphics..

Ataros

05-20-2011 02:33 PM

Probably the 1st time all the scenery was loading into vram from your harddrive. It takes some time. It is useful to switch to external views and then to several planes to have most of resources loaded into ram and vram before takeoff.

2 fps probably mean harddrive excess. Do you defrag your game files after each patch? I use gamebooster to do this. Works better than steam defrag for me.

It's pretty easy and probably the easiest to get started. The only tricky part is managing your prop pitch to get the most speed out of it.

Taking off is a bit of a challenge too. Sometimes you blow your tires before you get off the ground. You gotta yank her up before she wants to fly and just hope she stays up for you.

Also not having a AI tailgunner kinda sucks right now, although it's been my experience that the AI TG ain't worth a dang. So I just fly with the rear gun empty now and hope that I get a slight performance boost from it.

Thank you very much for feedback.

Yesterday we had up to 30 people online at some times. I guess the key to enjoyment is number of players (or targets :grin: ) flying around.

Thanks for flying.

Unfortunately Steam looses connection with server for 30-60 seconds sometimes resulting in disconnecting players but usually it comes back very soon. So if you are disconnected from the server please try connecting again in a minute or two.

Official server restart time is 16.00 GMT / 19.00 MSK when it is not available for 5 minutes.

Example of Steam disconnect: half of players had lag and disco eventually.

One thing i'm loving is the scale and the activeness of the server i.e the AI flights etc i had a lot of fun just running a patrol route from point A to point B and seeing what i came across majority of the time it was AI but it kept me interested and looking around to see what was coming when i did decide to dip into a bit of low level blasting around the 109 base at D3, it was very exciting always had to keep an eye out as what seemed like a small skirmish between 2 spits and a 109 to begin with could very quickly turn into a massive furball as more and more aircraft joined in that didn't spot entered the fight.

Only Downside i had was due to known issues currently i.e sound and the odd lag jitter but nothing that lasted long enough to be considered as anything more than a hiccup.
Many thanks for the server and will see you again.

Repka #2 now runs a tank battle mission as a test. Tanks fight for a neutral airfield at E3.

Known bugs:
- bombers are not landing atm

Repka #3 now runs an Online Dynamic Campaign by stillborn

Campaign contains 14 static missions chained from red airfield to blue. 6 of them are ground based, 8 of them are naval. campaigh starts by spawning tankers moving towards enemy airfield, if they encounter each other they spawn AA guns over them and start to fight until one side is killed and the next mission towards the defeated side is loaded, if one of the ships is destroyed before encountering enemy the other ship continues to progress. When the ships reach the coast, they disembark and continue as AA trucks, when the trucks reach enemy airfield, spawn points change and players can spawn enemy's aircrafts from captured airfield. if the aa trucks are destroyed, spawn points restore and campaign reverts 3 missions.

Scripts contain a code for destroying aircrafts on player leave, crashland or land with a timeout, also the code does not trigger if the player is still inside or another player entered this aircraft in the meantime. Also airborne left aircrafts are not destroyed but damaged. Player checks contain the server too so you can use it with steam lobby.

I have created new airfields for spawning parked in front of the runway, only two aircrafts spawn in front of the runway, if these points are full the other aircrafts spawn in a tight circle next to them.

FMB has a limit for min airfield radius which also defines the spawning locations for extra aircrafts when all points are full, i overrided it in notepad, if you edit the airfields in main mission dont forget to change these.

There's also a single player version of main mission for testing at 16x, ground war is totally random but you can interact with it with unlimited ammo to preview all the missions quickly.

Server briefing page does not refresh the spawn points after you select army, so if a base capture occurs change your army twice to see the updated spawn points on map to use enemy's airfield.

I've made this campaign to share my approach for dynamic mission loading, feel free to copy/manipulate it, with the same logic and a more tidy-flexible code, multiple dynamic frontlines can be created.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Spent a couple of hours at your REPKA server, I am sorry I can't recall which of the three it was (was full real, blue and red in France), it was the one with most players online at that moment.

I do not know whether it was thanks to my new Ramdrive setup but it was a great server, no lag, no problems (constant fps > 55) flying non stop for so much time.

Maybe it should have some more Blue bombers attacking?
I saw at least six groups of two Wellington each, attacking whereas I think only one JU-88 group of two and one group of four JU-87 went out (I can be wrong of course).

What I found very annoying is that I could not correctly assess the dots' distance, I saw somebody posted it today as a bug in the forum - very annoying.

Excellent server, I am looking forward to see how it goes when 40-60 pilots are online!

Managed to connect to Repka 1 but couldn't create a plane after choosing my base, bit later it timed out and all 3 repka servers are gone.

Thanks. That was a Steam disconnect. In some cases it requires manual restart and than servers could be down for several hours. Now all 3 are up again.

Thank you for your comments and feedback.
Bomber groups are of cause balanced in terms of bomber quantities per side. Script selects sub-missions randomly and this is why you may see several red missions in a row sometimes but then several blue missions. Also if you fly mostly for one side you will usually meet bombers of the opposing side.

Please check out Repka #4 server tonight. It is our test server we put up from time to time.

It runs a script form a member of the dev team where tanks move frontline and airfields change their side accordingly.

To finetune the mission I need your feedback on the following:
- ground battle intensity: should in be reduced or increased
- what you like about the mission
- what can be added to make things better

AI aircraft temporally switched off to test ground war exclusively.

Do not take off close to frontline or you could be vulched by a tank. (like here :grin: ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exlofp86CoU
Probably you can not take off from a captured airfield till next patch anyway due to a game bug.

Its nice the REPKA server, I always enter there because I have a good ping there and there's a lot of people, but I would disable the external views and the automatic pilot.

Thanks for sharing!

Repka #1 has externals and autopilot off.

Why do you think autopilot should be off? I think AI can not fly as good as humans anyway?

Autopilot will be off after next restart on #3 too.

A friend of mine told me that Autopilot helps you when you have a stall, for example. I havent tested it yet

So it would not be that god to ask for changes on things you have not tried yourself, right? ;)

Just on the autopilot thing, since I also have not tried it myself either, what does it do (or not do)?

Regarding external views, I like external views, they allow the magic of this game to come to realisation!
On the other side however, the "external view nearast enemy" gives an unfair advantage during dogfight.
IMHO "external view" is good, "enemy/friendly rotating view" (CTRL/SHIFT-F2) is good, "external view nearest enemy" is less good.

There was never a stall I did not get out from with my own skill (unless I was in a flat spin P-39 or P-38 :( ) Anyway, autopilot is not my cup, not my problem...

31 pilots on the REPKA server tonight, running like a dream! Congrats!

Tell me why people prefer server #3 with externals and small islands map rather than #1 with 'fullreal' settings and the channel map?

I am slowly working on a new mission and wonder if I should concentrate on small islands maps instead of France map.

Qpassa

06-05-2011 12:14 PM

I think the people prefer small islands maps because they can see more enemies, and It's more simple

Thanks for comments. I know of this game bug but the plane looks so cool I do not what to get rid of it. On the other hand it would be absolutely helpless vs. 109 or 110 if it could not create a slideshow sometimes :grin:
A sort of balancing bug.

Hi,

I tried your server the other day and found it nice. IMHO at full realism the France map is too short with most airfield only 1 min of each other.

I'll try to visit your server more often as it look promising.

~S and Good luck in the future !

PS: I am sure we will soon see some factual documents proving the lineage of the B52 in the Walrus.. Hold on ! ;)

+1
you take the wrong turn and you get the flak of your life... :D

the island map has one additional advantage, it is easy to navigate around without looking at the map.

ehem, but if I remember well, I was on a French map but the externals were on... :)

Anyway, there is too much eye candy and it would be a shame to lose all that be flying full real :(

Think it's because Repka 1 is in direct competition with Syndicate full real while repka 3 doesn't seem to have competition with its full CEM; 3rd person ; small map.
Please do keep working on the France map though, there's alot less vulching and perching when people have to do a little navigation and fly for more than 1 minute to the enemies base. The large map has alot more feel to it aswell.

If I could request one thing though it would be adding some targets for the jabo guys on Repka 1, right now there are only ships (which are bugged :/) and flak around the bases to bomb/strafe(either that or i fail to spot the other targets). Would be fun if there were some truck convoys, artillery/tank lines to attack and if possible some static aircraft to add some life to some airbases.

all below 60FPS for simulation is VERY BAD :)
not all have money for new computers only for CoD :(
for now i need only small map for 1vs1 practice to be know with aircraft and engine management and noting more :) for this kind of flight for now is EXCELLENT :) maybe next year SEOW will be on CoD (but just maybe).
next year if CoD replace old IL2 i will buy better computer :)

p.s. why SVAO duel server for CoD dont work ?
pls make me one 1vs1 small map :)

I am pretty certain that the human eye cannot distinguish the difference of anything above 30fps or thereabout?

Using a three year old laptop, listed below, and settings at 1680x1050/forest off/building amount low/land shading low/grass off/shadows off/roads on/everything else medium. In my nvidia console I have 2xAA 4xAF force vsync set to override application. I get average 33-36fps with high of 60(73 with vsync off) and low of 5 on black death.

You can take an existing online mission that came with the game and modify it in fmb according to your needs, move "birthplaces" closer for instance. It is easy and it's great when you learn something new ;)

Could you tell what SEOW is? Is it like 1vs1 ladders?

I'Ping problem

I'm really enjoying the server, but I had a really odd ping problem last night.
The Steam server ping was about ~70ms, but on entering the server properly my ping went up to 370ms. I tried the SYN server with no such effect. No AV or update was running. I pinged and tracerouted your ISP without problems with sensible 70ms results.
The effect was repeatable in game.
Any ideas?

When Steam disconnects everyone experiences lag. Maybe ping is a part of this issue. Try reconnecting in 3-5 minutes when Steam is back.

I am not the server owner and can not tell if there were any issues server side. But in this case we would have more feedback on this here I think.

06-10-2011 03:14 PM

First of all congrats for the Repka DS #1 server. :cool:

I am having in every (long) sorties disconnects (timeouts), I generally take off with 100% fuel.

Is there any hint/tip that can make me reduce or eliminate the discos? It is very frustrating to be in the air for more than 40 minutes and end up with a disco all the time. :(

The timeouts sometimes occur in the first 10/20 minutes of flight too, but they are more frequent in the long run.

Regards.

06-10-2011 09:55 PM

First of all I want to congratulate you for nice servers !!!

But I also have the same problem as jg27_mc on Repka 1 server.
On Repka 3 or SVAO no problems exept sound.

I supose there is something to do with scripts.

To confirm that I tried 1 evening on SYN server and I had discos,
and evening after that no disco at all ????

Keep up good work :smile:

we are all diggin in the dark I guess :)

I don't think that I have hardware problems because offline
I had few crashes offline in months.

Thank you for your feedback.

Players are disconnected when the server looses connection to Steam. To solve the issue please provide bug reports to all appropriate threads. This one is the latest I think http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...nnection+steam

And here is my post in it.
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...2&postcount=42

Please support it to get it a higher priority on the devs list. Now it is like No. 20 or 30 as no one is interested in solving it besides myself (1 vote only).

The messages say "Player is disconnected". The reason you can read in English. I have no information if these disconnects from Steam are linked to bots or processor load (when we have 30+ people flying the 1st core of server processor is loaded at about 80-90%, but other cores are not occupied.)

Do you mean Teamspeak server? There is no other comms on Repka than Teamspeak. I think you can create a separate room for English speaking players there. Let me know if you want to have a permanent channel I will pass info to server owner.

Hi Ataros

I think you'll know I posted this elsewhere but I was wondering....

I have run my Game as a server, i.e. I start it normally and select Multiplayer... Server....Load a mission... etc and I do NOT start it with the -server in the command line. No-one playing on my 'server' has had the sound problem and my game has not crashed. True, I have only had about 10 people on it up to now, for 2+ hours, with good reports from the players and it's ony live when I choose to do it for my squad mates and any guests that decide to jump in.

Is it possible for you to try running your server like that for now until the 'server' bug is fixed? Would that help the sound and crash problem?

Hi klem!

In the past I used to test my mission this way for 3-4 hours from my home PC and got Steam disconnects in the long run after 22-23.00GMT
I do not think this is a solution.

BigRepa runs the servers on remote location fully automated with scripts now I think. There is no one who can click buttons there.

However if you manage to run your server without disco for 48+ hours please let me know. I will pass the info to BigRepa.

Could you please use Direct Connect when connecting to Repka servers. There is a chance this may help with timeouts and disconnects.

Please let me know if you experience less disconnects when direct-connected. I will pass this info to BigRepa for further testing.

Another important thing. Please do not use custom skins online. They create stutters and can not be switched off server side yet. This especially relates to those who use 5MB+ .bmp skins.

Some footage from Repka #3 is broadcasted in this channel http://ru.justin.tv/dip78/b/290925614

BTW changing icons settings on R3 again. No foe icons now, only friendly.

Please do not shoot down captured enemy planes which have a friendly icon.

I'll give the Repka servers a try later tonight. The missions sound great. My only worry is the ping I saw to them last night (why I didn't try them then).

We need some North American servers running these missions!

I´d say, don´t trust the showed latency in the serverbrowser, wolverine. It showed a ping of 350 and more, ingame it was a steady 140 oO .

I just took a 109 for a quick spin (first time "full" realism) and i enjoyed the performance of your server. I experienced far less lags than in cs1.6 (server location germany) than on yours.

i think you´ll see me more often from now on.

I've been enjoying playing on the Repka dynamic mission servers on the smaller maps (bombing ships in the Stuka makes for a great change of pace, and the ground/sea battles give everyone a place to congregate for great big furballs) but there's a couple things I'd like to request you change:

First and foremost, it's presently impossible to multi-crew aircraft with friends; I recently wanted to attempt having human-crewed pilot and bomber positions in a Ju-88 with a friend, and was disappointed to discover that this has been disabled. The level bombers are quite hard to use effectively without a full crew, but quite important to actually participating in the ground/sea battles, especially as the allies have no dive bombers. As such, I think having this ability would improve the gameplay for all.

Second, it's currently possible to external-view spectate enemy aircraft, allowing them to be found fairly easily. Judging by the lack of map icons, I assume that this is not something you want.

Thanks for hosting such enjoyable servers! I hope you'll consider correcting these issues to improve what's already a great place to fly.

Ralith, thank you for your comments.

Could you tell me how multi-crew option can be switched on. I think it is on, however I do not fly multi-crew aircraft and know nothing about it. I think I saw yesterday 2 players listed in the same Bf-110 in a score window.

We have more relaxed difficulty settings on R3 to make life a bit easier to newcomers especially when only 3-5 people fly on the server. For 'full-realism' settings please join Repka #1 server.

On R3 we run stillborn's mission. Please do not forget to thank him and post your comments there http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=23129

Ataros, what settings do you use for R3, as i myself consider a newcomer, i might give it a try later? Last time i flew on R1 just to check some things.

Thx

Hi!
On R3 we have external views and friendly icons on. The rest is same as R1.
Anthropomorphic control is off as usual.
CEM is on as this is an essence of this game.

Edit: R3 is down for 25 Minutes now. I guess hung up during restart.

Is there another way to do this? Does what I described work for other people, and I just messed up or hit a rare bug?

I understand and appreciate that R3 isn't hardcore full-realism; that's one of the main reasons I play it. It just seems odd that you can spectate enemy aircraft and thereby get a good idea of where they are, as this somewhat counteracts map icons being turned off. I don't really mind much either way, personally, so if that's intentional for whatever reason then great. (edit: I also notice you mentioned that friendly icons are on; is this a recent change? I didn't see any yesterday.)

I'll be sure to let the mission author know my appreciation of his efforts.

Sorry, I have no idea. Maybe map icons are needed to do this.

Friendly icons appear at 1 km only.

Welcome! Congratulations with your first online kill on R3 :)
If you fly red side try to master Hurri Rotol. Now it is a better match for 109 than Spit1a.
