Wouldn't want to fly anything in that dead place, let alone spend more money on it.

The thing that always got me was the developers said they were working on dedicated server files for A10. This was while it was a beta. So not only do you not have any environment to speak of, you can't even have a true MP experience on a real dedicated machine. AKA - you need a graphics card to run a server in that game.

I'm not buying it until they come through with the MP aspect. 2 years and counting

Might want to check your facts, Bliss.

The 159th and many other LOMAC/ DCS squads are running dedicated servers. Don't have the specs to hand... And you may be right about the dedi needing a GFX card..... But it IS doable and it is being done.

My facts are correct. It appears you don't quite understand what a real dedicated server is. 1st off the large majority of them are rack mounted machines that don't have video cards. These are located, for instance, like our dedicated machines with access to high amounts of bandwidth.

The only thing people are doing in A10 is running a home pc (AKA using their crappy home ISP) to host a MP game. If you can find one A10 server that has ever had over 50 players in it, I'll eat my shorts.

If you want me to conjure up the post from ED concerning my facts that I mentioned in the 1st post (AKA - dedicated server support) a simple google search can find it for you. Next time you might want to know the facts yourself.

Edit: Here's from ED's forums. Notice they even give the definition of what a dedicated server is and the value of having what is known in the industry as "dedicated server support".

Dedicated Servers

It looks like they have just added it to their list of things to do - do not know if it will be patched in soon. For an expansion pack maybe as a selling feature - including Nevada terrain

The value of Multiplayer Dedicated Servers had to be explained in the thread. A dedicated server program does not need a fancy graphics card to run the game. All it needs to do is handle the data packets coming in from users(clients).
That means you can use old computers that were likely to be tossed out anyway. And you can run multiple versions at once (as long as your internet pipes are big enough).

And with such attention to detail they have no made the correct animation.
The pilot must roll on the wing.

The canopy flew away like it was on rockets and did you see the pilot dolphin dive out of the plane using only his buttocks?

[Trumper]

Watch the real thing here.It shows the canopy flying up and away clearer in the slowed down replay 1 min 20 onwards.
Watch it all to give you a sense of time involved.
