@oddball - what do you mean by that scripting lol? Do you have some further details. As far as the socket thing it looks like it's allowing 255 connections at 10000kb. I figured that was normal. All the cpu cores only sit at about 8-10% usage with 35-40 players on. Is it network resources? Sorry for all the questions

Teamspeak 3 is better, I find I have a lot more disconnects with bandwidth intensives games using ventrilo than I do using teamspeak 3.
Most of the il2 community are used to Teamspeak and teaching old dogs new tricks is hard.
Even flying RoF on the Syndicate server I stick to TS.
Not say ventrilo is bad just, I do not like it. Think your server is the onlyone offering ventrilo in the client list all the rest off TS3...

Vent is actually quite a bit better than TS3. That's why those FPS teams that play matches for $1000's use vent. The problem with vent is it's much more complex and less user friendly than TS. I agree it uses more bandwidth, it uses a better voice codec and has less latancy than TS3. That's probably again, why it's the standard for competitive teams in FPS type games. Not to mention a vent server is more expensive than a TS3 server. But there's a reason why, as I've explained above. As a 10 year old squad that started with FPS games, we've become accustomed to it, especially with all the features it has compared to TS3.

Once you sit in vent for a few weeks and go back to TS3, you'll know what I mean by just how much better the voices sound. That's one of the main reasons we won't be going back to TS anytime soon. But it only takes 5 minutes to setup. I actually can't stand how people sound in TS3 after using vent.

I do not want to enter into a debate on which is better as both have benefits. I understand your squads reasons for using it. But speaking from squadron experience in IL2 getting people all onto the same modded version is hard enough without making comms an issue as well.
A lot of our guys fly the Syndicate server in RoF and use ventrilo. I even have it installed on my PC.
But I have a relatively slow adsl connection 384kps. So every ounce of bandwidth counts. The choice for me is not based on how it sounds but on if it will work.
If I use ventrilo in RoF I am 90% sure to get a 1019 disconnect from server error.
Using TS3 I do not have the problem at all.
