Server settings in FBDJ

[Krt_Bong]

I need a little info for Server Settings which I haven't found yet.
What settings need to be made in the server config for Realistic Navigation, Pilot Damage, G limits etc and can this info be stickied for everyone, Thank You
edit - wow if I had said something about Spitfires or Mustangs I would have gotten 3 pages by now

Hi there,

the simplest way of getting the proper difficulty settings into the dedicated server is to start the game, fly a quick mission with the wanted difficulty, go into "settings.ini" of the user in the /users folder and look for the [difficulty] section. You'll see a line that reads single=xxxxxxxxxx, with xxxxxxxxx being a number. You copy that number and put it into the confs.ini of the dedicated server, under the [NET] section in a line difficulty=xxxxxxxxxx.

Another way is to edit the server.cmd file, where you can list all difficulty settings seperately with for instance "difficulty GLimits 1". If you want to know the names of all settings, enter "difficulty" into the server console.

Thank you, much obliged

Well I'm not sure why but this did not work, there are a few places where there are difficulty settings in the FBDJ, I am not the one who is making these setting changes on the server understand and the two people who have access have tried all these things and nothing is any different. We tried both methods and we are stumped.

My description was for the dedicated server, not FBDj.

Which version of FBDj are you using? Not sure a version to fully support 4.10m has been published, yet, you should ask about that at www.warbirdsofprey.org.

Okay so am I to assume that you would put the same difficulty line into the User/default.ini in the dedicated server? Since one needs a program like FBD or Server Commander to access the server or to have a mission list I assumed that the difficulty was set there as opposed to within the Game (server) install.
edit- that was it! put the difficulty settings in Users/doe/Settings.ini

[difficulty]
single = 193791
net = 193791

it works on the Server now!

S!

Into the readme of FBDj 1.8 for 4.10 (avaliable hear: http://www.warbirdsofprey.org/index.php?topic=8831.0 ) you have these number that you must put into confs.ini

[NET]
speed=8000
routeChannels=0
serverChannels=16
localPort=21000
remotePort=21000
SkinDownload=1
difficulty=2147483647
serverName=WildWest
serverDescription=Version(410m) <--- This line needs updating as shown !!!
checkServerTimeSpeed=1
checkClientTimeSpeed=1
checkTimeSpeedDifferense=0.05
checkTimeSpeedInterval=5
checkRuntime=0

To avoid using server.cmd (that would be blank according FBDj's manual), its better to create a new function and then call him as shown below:

S!

Who managed to work through 'server.cmd' or other method tried to use the help function?

For me, even when new difficulties seems work, this function return a pre-4.10 standard:

14>help difficulty
<difficulty>
<empty> (list settings)
[WindTurbulence <0|1>]
[FlutterEffect <0|1>]
[StallsSpins <0|1>]
[BlackoutsRedouts <0|1>]
[EngineOverheat <0|1>]
[TorqueGyroEffects <0|1>]
[RealisticLandings <0|1>]
[TakeoffLanding <0|1>]
[CockpitAlwaysOn <0|1>]
[NoOutsideViews <0|1>]
[HeadShake <0|1>]
[NoIcons <0|1>]
[RealisticGunnery <0|1>]
[LimitedAmmo <0|1>]
[LimitedFuel <0|1>]
[Vulnerability <0|1>]
[NoPadlock <0|1>]
[Clouds <0|1>]

That's not even 4.09, it's like 2.0.

When was complex engine management introduced?
