Yes there is currently an issue with the website. Gadget works fine. You can download it from here if not already: https://dl.orangedox.com/wPjUJexWE8KQ0To1y2/install_op_BLUE_FLAG.exe Working on it. Server will be updated to the latest stable version during the restart of the mission. Greg

Hmmm thanks will check out but that's kind of weird as the server would crash all the time if this is an issue. Greg

Will look forward for the next event.

It's not just the players limit. We had and have sessions without lag for the last 3 weeks. There are other serious stuff going on the backround which are important for an event like Blue Flag that DCS can't handle easily. We spot and solve daily. It's not easy. But the main picture is not such bad as some try to present, otherwise the server wouldn't be full and people wouldn't ask to kick players that stay on spectators in order to let them in. We didn't blame ED from our part. We just try to follow the needs of the community which we think asks for large scale PvP campaigns like this. Greg

You can set the limit to 4 players also just to be sure. It's just not what clients seek for as we reached 2016 and the statistics shows the opposite. Greg

Thanks will check it out along with the report about Blue Mi-8's on Nalchik. Greg

Hello, you mean someone shot massive smoke rockets? Greg

It's not the load when you run for 3 weeks without issues, except of course when we uploaded scripts with errors. We spotted the issue. Trying to solve it now ;) Snipped... Greg

Round 5 which finally as you say was the best, had the most negative posts in its thread. Reds again were desperate from the beginning but we kept saying that everything is possible. The posts are out there. Don't forget so quickly. About lag was there issues the last hours? Cause it was running smooth since start and until we left yesterday. Greg

We are in discussions for a new concept which will include also FARP changes etc. We must see the available free time first of course. Greg

Get a room guys :P You woke us up with the mail notifications coming from this thread. Thought the server had issues :D Hmm what should I do now with this free time? Greg

Did that on the previous round. Check out for the video and stats ;) We are working on a new concept though that will present some changes on that area. Greg

I am start thinking collecting these "balance" posts and post them everytime a round ends along with the charts :D Greg

Yes we will keep it as it is for now as the round starts tomorrow and won't like to change it in the middle ;) Also the new pdf file is up: [ame]http://www.foinikas.org/ftp/public/DCS_World/Briefings/Buddy%20Spike/SOP%20OPERATION%20BLUE%20FLAG.pdf[/ame] Greg

Of course... Once announcing the official start everything goes wrong. Murphy's law :D Reverted back to 3.7. Let's see if that was the issue. Greg

Hmm the last changes shouldn't affect performance and we were ok till now. Thanks will have to look at it. I hope it was a server temporary connection issue. Greg

New thread available: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2782182#post2782182 SOP will be available tomorrow. Greg

Yes that's the main purpose of the events. To enjoy the modules and sim through a specific environment. People that try to cheat won't be persuaded by words. We have to ban them when we spot them. They possible feel they need to do it for various reasons ... but won't let them ruin others experience. Let's keep flying :thumbup: Greg

It's always like this on events that there is a clear goal. Fortunately we can spot easily and act accordingly. Integrity check should help also. About FC3 it could be like this but seen many occasions with pilots flying A-10C and KA-50's and trying to cheat ;) Greg

No, Gazelle slots will be available also on all airbases. Right now they are only available in the FARPs. More FARPs added in the mission file which will load after the restart in order to test reducing any colitions between pilots when they spawn. Will try to find time and add the remaining Gazelle slots tonight. Greg

There is no side switching during the official rounds. This is valid only during the testing sessions cause there are changes in aircraft availability and some may want to fly only with them. Greg

Had a nice chat with Chrinik in the teamspeak after getting a pm from him. Will have to mention this again. Whoever feels the server doesn't fit him he can simple not join again. The server is free to join and we don't owe specific features to anyone. We barely have time to deal with complaints, trolling and getting our thread full of flaming. If you have feedback about the way the features work or new ideas, we are more than welcome to listen and deal with any issues. We already shown this in the previous rounds. Thanks and thanks again for the support. Greg

Relief for you, "the horror" for us :D
