Full-scale airwar on REPKA server

[Ralith]

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.

Thanks for the info Ataros.

So Long

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

I'm not sure how to configure the server the way I describe, unfortunately, and it's indeed quite possible that I messed up and it's already working. My understanding of how to multicrew a plane is that you have to select it instead of an airfield in the spawn menu, and can then select a crew position and spawn into it; when I tried this, I didn't see my friend's Ju-88 on the airfield. 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.

[Ataros]

Please try new excellent mission by stillborn running on Repka#2.

Players statistics is available here http://r2.repka.su/stats.htm

Targets: tanks, destroyers, bombers, airfields.

Another news is on Repka#3 SpitfireIIa is available for red side on blue airfield after reds capture it. Get on Repka TS3 and join your efforts to capture or protect this key airfield.
Live broadcast shows how reds are working together to capture it right now as I am writing this post. http://en.justin.tv/dip78#/w/1541339248
