I witnessed this issue in naryv's examples and hc-wolf's missions when run on Repka servers and I think the best solution is to respawn the groundgroup 500 m. further on the way to their next waypoint if it is stuck for 3-5 minutes and not in combat. Just an idea.

Has anyone gotten spline roads to load in the -server environment yet? I think the disappearance of some of the ground objects/bridges/land marks between SP/FMB and the dedicated server exist because of the spline road problem we have in the dedicated world.

@BlackSix,

Thanks for taking the time to answer many people's questions here. It is much appreciated!

I have several suggestions, but I'll leave the more complex out for now. My suggestion is to have a server sided option that makes players not able to leave their aircraft unless landed/crashed/died/bailed out. (Similar to what we had in the old IL2, via the "refly" button). Currently an online player can hit escape and simply spawn into a new plane any time he/she wishes, even in the middle of combat. This is annoying to say the least.

Thanks!

If I must add my wild guess about the temporary stop to the patch finalization, I would opt for a sudden need on another 1C project, e.g. to meet a deadline, requiring all hands on board to switch job. Temporarily

[Rather peeved]

Staffing problem, I reckon.

i dont think that is a good idea

having players being able to switch crew positions in one aircraft, or change aircraft (when killed or bored) adds "playability" for players.

to solve your problem, which is presumably that players switching aircraft use it as a cheat to avoid being registered as killed, is to make the server change the nick of the "jumping" player to something more generic (eg they loose their original nick tag, and get assigned a default new nick like "re-spawned"

if you notice players use the re-spawned method multiple times, you could even have the server number the name-tag, eg respawn1-12x etc

trying to completely remove a very good new feature (re-spawning to a new vehicle/plane) to try and solve a minor problem cause by a few idiots is not a very good idea

[Luno13]

It could be made into a difficulty setting which is set by the server as well. Or a minor point penalty could be given (again, depending on the server settings) for re-spawning before landing or crashing.

Tonight will be the Friday update. Ilya answer questions that have been collected here and in the forum Sukhoi.ru.

Thanks BlackSix, looking forward to it!

Here is a list of questions in Russian (two in English).
http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=73407

If anyone wants, it can pre-translate them into English. It's very help me.

"АНО, фар и сигнальных дымов" - - translated as "navigation lights, landing lights and the smoke alarm".
(АНО - Авиационные навигационные огни - Aircraft navigation lights)

thx BlackSix!
its really good that we now have a base to commincate with the devs through you!i think its really important for the customers as well as for the devs that there is a constant chat between both parties.
