Pman

Interesting Falcon, The name is also used as a ban link as well, the player name. I have had to be careful with that in the past. I can grab some event logs from our server as well when I am back from Duxford Side note the server crashed even without the banlist, I will leave it off for now and see how it goes, but I am not sure its the root of all the issues although it may not be helping

ty, will try it now :) Pman

Hiya, I posted a copy of the mission a couple of posts up. No weapons and only 1 carrier and 1 destroyer ground unit wise, with no mission and they sit static I will get a copy of a couple of crashes, but here is one to start you off Pman crash.zip

Crashes just today.... This is just getting beyond a joke now I am afraid

I am at Duxford this weekend with ED, But I will look at doing a run on the VA server without it early next week Pman

I know your trying to help Sith, no arguement there. I have tried Slmod in the past and had nothing but problems and speed was less then helpful. But my point is that both servman and slmod are having these issues. I cant do a server rotation on a never ending mission like on VA, people would end up flying in the dark... Pman

Here is the latest VA mission with the racetrack on it As for updating servman it has been added to up until end of June. But nothing since then as there are no viable alternatives. If we cant use Servman and there is no dedicated programme then I will close the Virtual Aerobatics Server as there is no alternative Pman edit: only other thing on there is some anti weapons code to prevent weapons fire. Afaik that code is unique to the VA server, so if it was just me crashing fair enough but with all of us doing it I doubt its that 9940-Virtual Aerobatics 1.2.6.miz

My server runs Servman

My install is totally clean, no modules, no mods. Nothing The only thing on it is servman and if you want me to remove that then hosting a server will be impossible

Last crash log on VA server

Well I can say the RAM usage is much lower so some work been done there. However the server is still very unstable, I think it may run for a few hours but not alot more. As for scripts, I only have the race course and servman installed on ours Pman

Well so far since I updated the VA server its crashed 4 times. This is going backwards! it was more stable on 1.2.5! Please tell me Sith that these things actually do get tested in some kind of real environment as at the moment its turning into a full time job just to keep a server running in DCS

VA server is crashing just as much as pre-patch Sadly

Right well I have got the VA server up and running atm, will report back on any crashes

Nice to see a Uk based squadron! Pman

Just in addition to Ells' post above, Virtual Aerobatics is honoured to host this and we would encourage as many people as possible to sign up for this, I will also be looking to arrange for the event to be live streamed as well for those who cant fly or are unable to get in. Pman

Yep if 2 people have the same skins then it will show correctly :)

Stock ones are up to about 10-15mb tops. But they are pretty low quality compared to some of the ones on the market which are much much nicer. I have one I am looking atm which is 73mb...

This has been discussed before and the problem is the size of the skins, some of which are up to 80mb in size. If the VA server was to supply those to whomever connected it would be a massive amount of load for the server. This one has to remain with the user, its not that hard to download a skin and install it tbh

I can tell you for a fact that there is a constant connection between The Virtual Aerobatics server and the master server all the while its online. Even if you intend on local lan play it has to go through the master server, for example if you start a lan game and unplug the router from the net it will discconnect you from the lan game saying it cant communicate with the master server

Not quite true. If there are problems with the master server then servers can become unstable, all traffic and server data must go through a live master server. If it doesnt it can cause servers to crash Pman

The servers are still running very badly, There are alot of us that are still having Major issues. I havent heard of any old time servers for a long time now

When another good one is made we will try it :p

He flew it on Rocks Pc which doesnt have any curves set for the rudder but does for the other axis.

I'll start recording on the VA server for an hour at a time and see what I can find Pman
