Hi DArt, last night we had a training session with one tactical commander and one pilot logged in. Pilot started his A10 and took off in under 15 minutes. By the time he was airborne, lotatc had already frozen up regretfully.
-
Simple test?
Take off, fly towards known position of SAM unit which is shining its radar.
fly over its position, have the SAM operator switch off their radar.
Move the SAM to a new positon some kilometers away
Turn on radar.
IIRC the RWR doesn't show a history (for long) of detected emitters. Once LSHIFT-I is pressed, the radar switches off and should drop off the RWR.
YMMV.

Setting the state to red or green makes the dish restract and store or start turning. The emission control button doesn't have an effect on this. As far as I know, you can only do this as a tactical commander. Leaving the vehicle results in the AI checking the state set to red, green or auto and perform accordingly.
Pressing left-ALT 1, 2 or 3 will launch a flare vertically in red, green and white colour. Smoke is done automatically when the vehicle takes damage, no player controlled action.

With 30+ pilots the LotATC server froze around the same time as any other mission, roughly 1 hour into the flight.
We had debugging off but if you need any logs DArt, let us know and we'll supply them.

We had 32 pilots on our server tonight and Aries performed near flawlessly. Couple of points worth noting:
- the Game Master did not reset after the person left. With the server full (32 slots) we had to reconnect that person and remove himself from game master position before somebody else would be able to claim the position.
- Three times we heard audio breakthrough in where we were able to here everything in the channel for a few seconds. It repaired itself though.
All in all, we are impressed by the stability of the Arieswing software. We had controllers with gossipbox (3 or 4 people max) and the rest was filled with A10's, F15's, SU27's and KA50.
Chapeau!

We're talking about the freezing of LotATC bug right?
We have a training session tonight so I'll go and ask if logging is enabled for LOTATC so we can forward files in case of freeze.
-
Pikey, can you tell me what you did to crash the server? We have missions coming up and may wish to revert or see a way around the issue.

One thing we noted tonight in Beta8 is the following:
Measurement set to Imperial
Draw a line on the screen with the right-mousebutton and observe range. All goes well up to 10nm, now check the distance of the line as you draw it to 11 or 12. The unit of measurement jumps too quickly from 10 to 11 and up.
Also happens on metric setting.

I tried using ground power to start the p51 the first time I've set foot in one. Didn't read any startup manual so was randomly pushing buttons when the kaboom happened.
Managed to recreate it twice after that by using ground power, magnetos and fuel pump...
-
Yes DArt, the moment an update is available, both server and clients get updated
-
Hi Towsim,
Would it be possible to disable terrain mask and range by default for Gossipbox users? We usually tend to control more then one airport, range or perform different functions (JTAC, AWACS and so on) and changing location is not very easy.
Right now we have terrain mask and range switched off but that kind of kills the immersion...
-
What does MHDD and ASM stand for?
-
It only has a tracking radar, no search radar.
-
Just 2 questions:
1) have you debug enabled or not? I think that the enable_debug could be the responsible of the problem?
2) Have change the mission during the session?
Debug was enabled as far as I know
No, we haven't changed the mission.

Hello all,
I wish I could introduce myself as a VEAO member but I'm just a happy customer.
I severely lack programming and modelling skills but I'm an enthusiastic simmer like the remaining 99,5% on this forum.
So Hi to all at VEAO and other interested parties, hit me up if you want to go flying every now and again...
:D :D

Have you considered other voice software like mumble or verntrilo Towsim?
-
We had a LOTATC server freeze or lockup yesterday evening using the new Beta8. I'll get the log files to you as soon as possible.
-
And on that bombshell......
-
Although I'd love to see such a thing, one has to remember that the physics engine needs to account for aerodynamic and weather physics as well. Also, there are other more pressing issues to deal with in CA at the moment.
One can dream however..
-
Aries is in development and are working hard to squash bugs and roll out updates. They're the one to go for I'd say.
-
-
I think the fastest way is to use the repair tool.

Great to have you back, here's to good health an stunning 3D stuff! Cheers!

Liking the re-texturing of the cockpit and the way it's going. My, hopefully constructive, criticism would be that the weathing looks, at least to me, a bit random and flaky. Having looked at pictures from RL cockpits and a bit of hands-on, those places where hands grip, feet move and actuators are moved, paint takes the brunt of the load so to say. Also, almost always are edges worn and usually out of paint.
I'm positive that VEAO has RL pictures of the Hawk's cockpit or access to this material so I'm going to sit back and relax while I watch the updates role by one by one and if push comes to shove, there'll be other members of the public taking up their drawing pads to improve or change on whatever Smilodon has done.
They copied and changed the Mona Lisa, Rembrand and a whole lot of other paintings. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I guess. One has to build a fundament before building the rest.

OK, we'll try. For the record, I can't recall that Neck and me used the chat function during our training. However, the server was running for a while so maybe somebody else used the chat.
