ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

Yea the more AI the better.. even if there are 30 people on this server i still find myself flying around for ages sometimes not seeing anyone..

The map is massive, maybe even too big..

nice server

AT the moment we are experimenting with different methods of using AI and populating the map. Bliss is going down one route, whilst im trying another (don't ask.....my method involves swearing at scripts!) to see what we can get out of this game. Its all part of the fun!

We started with a base mission and are moving on from there and as such you may see different features each time you visit and the AI may well be different as well. SOmetimes it will be a step forward, sometimes one back! I will be trying the latest version of my project tomorrow to see how well submissions within submissions work....should be fun!

As for the sound: we think spawning flights may be a trigger for sound loss, either as spawning sub-missions or within the main mission. TBH its a job for 1C to fix and I don't thinks there is much we can do to avoid it except for doing without AI. And I think now we have all had a taste of AI mixed with human opponents most of us don't want to go back! (though I wish the wellingtons wouldn't do fast barrel rolls!)

ANyway, keep an eye out for interesting things on Syndicate, and thanks for your patience.

I think we can confirm this, although there's still something odd.

We were flying on a Squad mate's game box as a server tonight, and normaly when we do that we have no sound problems, while we all have sound problems on the larger online servers, leading us to initialy belive the sound problem was linked to the dedicated server only.

However, our squad mate forgot to password the server tonight, and other people kept joining.

The first blue player to join caused a very small stutter and then we all lost sound.

Mind you, it only happened that once, and I believe indeed the mission had sub missions loading.

We also saw a single phantom 109E icon hovering over Hawkinge. This is the first time we've seen this on a client based server, and the first time we've seen it happen to a fighter. We have regularly seen the phenomenon on the larger servers with AI bombers, whole formations of disembodied aircrew hovering in space!

Hi, though the sunset was indeed beautiful it is now dark

Well, get in a bomber and make use of the cover of night

I've been mostly testing stuff and compiling a FAQ on CoD so i haven't flown online much. However, once we have a stable sim and people pick up on this scripting business we might be able to have dynamic online mini-campaigns. Night bombing is on the top of my list to try

Should be Dawn now

I've been on a lot today! I like your server and it gives me a nice ping, but where the heck did it go?
