Sorry Bliss. We're predominently a UK squad.

Our dedicated server is located at a server farm in California. How much more remote do you think we could get it?

We had a squad member in the area who handles the intial install of the server (including the fitting of a GFX card). He has now left the squad due to other commitments. The server is still running and the staff at the server farm are more than happy for it to do so.

Now I've been amember of the 159th since they formed in 2003, and although I'm no longer an active flyer, I'm still a member. I was also CO of the squad for about six years....... I really don't think you're in a position to tell me what my squad has or hasn't done with regard to dedicated servers.

I take it you don't read very well. Perhaps take another gander at the post from ED forums, the one I labeled "Dedicated Server". Your server is not the traditional dedicated server. The post, especially the part in bold talking about NOT USING A VIDEO CARD, highlights that.

Let me explain it a bit more simply. ED stated they were working on dedicated server support back when A10 was a beta. Then they showed the advantages of "dedicated server" files, even going as far as explaining what it is. One advantage happens to be that you DO NOT NEED a VIDEO CARD to run a server.

To this day you NEED A GFX Card to run a server for A10 - AKA, ED has not released dedicated server support for A10 yet. Perhaps read their own forums and you can learn all about it yourself.

I'm not interested in the history of your squad or anything you say tbh. My facts are just that, facts. ED has already explained them for you if you can take the time to read.

Edit: It appears the people at SimHq also appear to know what dedicated server support is.

From their own review of A10 found here: http://www.simhq.com/_air13/air_462g.html

Could Be Better

ATC Comms, AI
No remote dedicated server capability
Multiplayer datalink broken

Sounds like a fun study sim that has some potential to be WAY more. Wow is that a familiar sentiment......

I wsh they came out with some more aircraft to fly against. But I have a feeling that the "Legends of Flight" or what ever its called is going to be single releases of aircraft from different generations. My gut feeling is that the next in that series will be a F-86 Sabre. With no migs to fight, and only some ground missions to do.

Im holding out for "The PAtch" though Im still worried about the Red FM's getting a nerf. At least I wont Launcher crash anymore right? right.

[159th_Jester]

Ah I see Bloss..... You're interested in YOUR facts rather than simple to implement ways to overcome an issue?


Well according to your facts, and purely looking at technical terminology you're quite right. Meanwhile in reality (with a little bit of intiative) our squad and many others are running dedicated servers in practice....... Oh sorry what would you call a server that's available 24/7 that's hosted in a rack at a remote server farm but has a GFX card fitted?


Just out of interest, do you go by the name of Mower on SimHQ forums?

[ATAG_Bliss]

Yes, my facts come straight from ED's mouth and are the lack of dedicated server files that ED stated they were working on almost 2 years ago, but haven't delivered yet. It appears it's SimHq's facts as well.

My name is the same on every forum.

At one point I attemped a landing, came in too high, so I executed missed approach. I applied too much throttle however and started oscillating all over the place. It's wansn't easy to stabalise like in CloD or 46.

I share your sentimants re competition, it's not CLoD and I don't think they have anything to worry about ... now. Because it all depends on what DCS do next. The DCS World system is pretty cool and I actaully prefer the idea of buying only the aircraft I want to fly and pluging it in to DCS World.

In all honesty, I would have only flown about 10 or so aircraft during my time with IL-2 1946, and seriously flown 5.

I think it's only a matter of time before we get more a/c and maps from DCS ... as it stands DCS have already asked the cumminuty to make 3rd party options AND get paid for it.

Mind you it's limited to missions, skins, sounds etc. but what if they opened this up to 3rd party developement of aircraft like MS did with FSX? Then we might see CLoD have some competition.

We are certainly in for some very interesting weeks, months and years ahead! It looks like we will be spoilt for choices and I can only assume that it will put a bit of extra pressure on MG to get the patch out sooner, which is a good thing? Right?

I haven't got around to takeoffs yet, so I look forward to seeing the Mustang flys like in the lower end of the flight envelope. I've been flying with autorudder and the simulation settings options disabled.

Cheers!

Oh, and I wouldn't spend one dime on DCS, it looks like something that could be done with mods in Il2 1946. vids on youtube don't impress me, and I've really tried to look at it with intent to buy but just couldn't, maybe I don't care for jets and missles, maybe DCS sounds too much like DLC!
