ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

[Dano]

Saw what was hopefully an unintended cheat tonight, bunch of 109s and Spits over Hawkinge, one of the 109s kept throwing out huge amounts of steam whenever somebody seemed to get on their tail, assuming their engine was on the boil but it certainly looked controlled from my vantage, this was causing my FPS to drop to single digits and lower making it very hard to stay with them, eventually resulted in my colliding with them

Other than that it was nice to have such decent fps over land

I did have my first launcher crash though

Hi Dano,

Actually it's a graphical glitch and can --and does -- happen with fighters of both sides. The pilot of the aircraft in question is unaware of it happening. When we first witnessed this glitch we were accusing the hapless pilot of using his "fire extinguisher" to deliberately cause lag and/or warping to throw off our aim. Turns out -- not so. Seems like this glitch hasn't been fixed with the beta patch.

Also, I've been in a number of dogfights with this new patch where my frame rate suddenly drops from the mid-nineties (over the Channel) down to 1 fps -- a real slideshow. Happened last night online attacking 5 human-flown Ju88's, then again today mixing it up with 109's over Hawkinge. I reported the attacking-Ju88's frame rate drop to Ilya by email (along with my .dmp file and log.txt from an earlier CTD).

Lots left to fix, it seems.

Snapper, I am glad to read that, was quite concerned it was going to be CLoD's 'screenshot' cheat

Hey there Atag guys

Where are all the bombers????? I've played ATAG a few times since the new patch came out - havent been on for a month or two before that.

Where the hell are all the bomber flights?? What frequency do you guys have them set at? I remember it used to be high level bombers, stukas all sorts of things happening. I was on there for over an hour with not a single enemy bomber flight reported by radar. And the two or three times before that i saw just one flight of wellies.

I get you now have objectives, but please increase the german ai bomber attack frequency. The server is kinda boring.

With the new FM's being "closer" to the dev team's aircraft test results, are we going to see the full range of planes being allowed now? Basically, since the SpitIIa is no longer the uber-plane, can we get full allowance on IIa's, E-4s, and Emil-Bs?

ReconNZ,

Not sure what you mean. There still are AI bomber formations in the server.


Von Brühl,

Unlimited planes was enabled when the Alpha version was installed in the server although there are several missions in rotation so we might have missed one.

Ok, just logged in real quick to check some settings about 3 hours ago, and no Emil-B's that I could find (need to tweak some loadout settings for them). Guess I'll check again in a bit.

Those huge vapor trails seem to be a wrong rendering of the condensate trails from wingtips generated during tight turns. They are there since the beginning.

Cheers!

Will give it a go tonight! Did you and Jiri hit on a solution?
