HL servers & 4.09m

HFC_Dolphin · #1 10-11-2009, 07:52 AM

Hello guys,

Can anyone explain why almost all of the HL servers are still running 4.08m?
I thought 4.09m is the official version and I switched to that, only to find out that I can't use it in most of the servers.

Should I switch back to 4.08m?

Thanks!

They sure are slow changing over this time! I have a 408 and a 409 install.

For one thing, a lot of servers on Hyperlobby are mod friendly. Most are waiting for the Modding community to update their mod's to 4.9m ( remember the 4.9 mods out at the moment are for the 4.9 beta ), otherwise it would look a bit like of a backwards step if they have to remake all their missions and lose all the modded planes.

This will take a while, as most of the modders actually have day jobs, educational and/or family commitments.

Yes it is a drag to have to work for a living!

Yea, much of them waiting for standart mod packs for 4.09m.

I agree, and I have a server running 4.09m on HL at least (==Furballers==). Need maps though (only one in rotation

).

Flight simmers. Always wanting more... frightened of change.

Only part of servers on HL have modded planes and maps. And for those with modded planes and maps, I wonder how they run the server before the mods emerged.

Can you join a 4.09m server running mods if you don't have the mods?

I guess were just waiting for the admins of those vanilla servers to upgrade to 4.9m
