Even with wind speed and gusts set to zero, the 109 turns after spawning. Don´t know about other planes though.

Bliss,

Are you still running a large number of objects on the map you use? I am wondering for benchmarking purposes. I did have some stuttering (again) last night when I was on there but I figure with such as large amount of objects and aircraft spawning there would be some pauses.

Thanks for the great server.

Yeah, there's around 15000 objects total, 5000 of which are AAA scattered throughout the map.

As far as the AI is concerned, there's a new bomber group (submission) that loads every 15 minutes. Most have a flight time of around 40-60 minutes, while others are only 10-15 minutes. As the hours go on, usually there's around 100-200 bombers in the air all the time. (minus the ghost planes lol) All the bombers will land back home, usually in a remote inland airfield.

But it's one big WIP. I wish I could find a way to have everything load from the main mission (AI spawns), but the trigger doesn't seem to work yet, or I simply don't know how to use it. I'm thinking, as a workaround, at least, if only 1 mission was loaded instead of submission after submission, it might be less error free.

Bliss,
I was reading about some ghost dots issue on Syndicate server.
We did not have any reports on them on Repka. You may want to check if it can be related to mpdotrange setting. We used to have your mpdotrange settings but then reset it to default.

Another idea is to check if it could be planes located outside the Battle Area set in FMB or combination of both factors. Repka #1 has very small Battle Area.

No more ghosting / disappearing planes! All stupid ship errors that were causing the stuttering are fixed as well.

There are never ending flights of bombers bombing targets of opportunity and their escorts for both sides everywhere. There are over 75 various different bomber sub-missions that take around 10 hours to complete before the 1st sub-mission is loaded again. All missions have different bomber groups with varying level of difficulty going to different targets. It should never look repetitive. Some of the bomber groups will have very aggressive escorts attached to them. If you go attacking their bombers you better have a wingman or 2 or they will knock you out of the sky.

For those that like COOPs, this is a never ending war where you don't even need another person on the server to have endless amounts of action.

Remember to have your radar turned on (the option "voice" set in your chatbar if you have voices/speech muted) as your radar will be calling out contacts left and right.

And when you spawn and have AAA going off, make sure to look up as your airfield might be in the middle of being carpet bombed :)

Bliss ive just come from the Server and ive seen around 10 ghost dots in about half hour...groups of 2 at a time and yes i do have the radar predicting EA

TomcatViP 07-21-2011 06:24 PM

Hi,

What for god sake is that EA radar ?!!!

<dramatic mode = OFF>

I ve seen some of those ghost plane on your server<. it's very disorienting


Regarding mission planing, can we now as CoD hve more players than before switch to a more historically accurate mission planing ? I mean a lot of GERMAN bomber fling toward england and only a very few RAF bomber flying over France.

The way mission are planned for now is a bit disorienting.

Pls think abt the many new players that bought that sim just to play a BoB scenario

Anyway, Great works !

~S!

Given that, it would make more people fly red just to get at least something out of every sortie. Unless they wanted to throw in AI fighters as well, but that opens a whole new can of worms.

Strange...i come across quite a few AI when im in there, and alot of ghost dots..

Though i have to agree that map is Huge!, even with strong numbers you do seem to spend alot of time looking for action...I ran out of fuel just now, go figure

ATAG_Bliss 07-21-2011 08:42 PM

Hopefully - the ghost planes get sorted in the next patch. Luckily the radar only calls out live contacts. That's the best way to hunt all the bombers.

TomcatViP 07-21-2011 09:08 PM

Thx Bliss for the answer.

I got a connection lost after 30 min of play is that me or the server ?
