  1. Hello, If it still does not work (which it didn't do for me btw) try the following: Don't know why this is, but I figured out how to start mine anyways. So I got the TF-51d FTP-version with DCS world, and when I follow up the startup instructions (closely) I still ended up burning the starter instead of getting the engine running. After some time of fumbling around random switches, this got me started: It turns out there's some sort of a bug that turns the TF-51d into a "museum-piece" that you're trying to start again. The engine is stubborn and prone to fail! Fight it! So you set the battery + gen to ON. Then you select CARB levers full forward. Set the propellor underneath the throttle to full. Set the throttle a bit deeper than an inch or so. Oil dilute is not needed. Select the right fuel tank, and turn on the fuel pump. Immediately thereafter open the fuel cuttof lever (red knob) to the upward position, so the pump can "slurp in the fuel" (yes I know this is a programmed P51, but still! Slurp Slurp). Prime the engine for a good 5-8 secs. Magneto to "L" for left magneto's. Then get ready. It's a battle I don't always win, and when it takes too long, and the starter burns up, it's over. Your best bet then is to switch TF-51's. So open up the cover on the starter switch, click and hold it. Then immediately after that right click the mixture, this sets it to run. Right-click it again to full rich (emergency), and then set it back to cutoff. Play with this lever like you play with your willy! :joystick: No seriously, you gotta fool around with the lever and see what the engine does. If it starts sputtering, it's a good sign, then you leave the handle and give it some throttle. Mostly switching between cutoff and run gives the best results, but it's a matter of feeling what the engine does really. Don't forget the parking brake though. You wouldn't be the first to give throttle, notice that you're rolling quite fast, hit the brake and then pit the nose, raping your engine after it finally started up! :doh: Hope it helps!
  2. The latest update of DCS:World fixed my issues. We can now connect to servers with tankers again.
  3. Pings are fine! There's alot going on inside routers, so opening additional ports can have some positive effects you know, very strange. Anyway the problem "NOBODY CAN JOIN MY SERVER" is already solved. The topic sorta changes to: "Nobody can join when I host a mission with tankers". And then you're allowed to say "Just wait it out, it's a known issue". Maybe I'll host a server with lobby to change over to a mission with tankers, since that trick does the job. If you are interested in Air to Air Refueling training, keep an eye on the servers forum, I'll be posting something there soon.
  4. Ok, here's the deal guys: Opened 10308 & 10309 TCP/UDP - Nope Opened 27015 & 27016 TCP/UDP - Nope No tankers in mission: Both port series work, which just proves: Doesn't matter which ports you use. People just crash when they try to connect. Had one guy connect twice after eachother, so that one in specific might have not had dcs stopped working, just another error. Now that I did have people joining the idea crossed my mind to change to a tanker mission. So it seems the only way nowadays to host a tankers-server is to switch to the mission rather than having JIP's. Had people in my mission hooking up to tankers so yeah. Going to host like this: Make a warmup mission, gather people, inform them about the bug in the briefing, and after we have a good amount, we switch over :p I'll gladly wait for another update.
  5. Small update: Had some players on my server today. I hosted a mission without tankers, and people joined. 1 guy remained and eventually it occured to me to try and at least switch to a mission with a tanker. To my great success it worked! I was in multiplayer with another person and a tanker to hook up to. (He eventually ended up destroying it but that don't matter!) There were some people joining in progress (a lot of them) but they all failed to connect with that mission on. Switching mission doesn't seem a problem. I'm puzzled!
  6. So you are saying: Not using tankers should have people being able to join. Having tankers -> Open port 10309 as well? Or just a NO-GO?
  7. Are you being serious? Don't tell me tankers are breaking the joinability! I am actually hosting a "REFUELING TRAINING SERVER". Back in the days this was still possible, it's really sad not being able to do this anymore!
  8. Thanks for searching that ENO, but still no luck for me :( Tried that and still have my clients systematically disconnect as SPECTATOR about 7 seconds after they "entered the game". I re-created a basic tanker mission, I even reset my whole router. That together with the better version still leaves me with no luck! The port is definitely forwarded correctly... But i'm thinking maybe it's broadcasting, but not allowing signals from outside in? I don't know I'm not your average networker. I tried DMZ but that did not give me anything new :(
  9. Thanks for the reply, can't really find the load_timeout in the directory you specified sadly enough :(. I do remember it had either something to do with my firewall or DMZ settings. Don't think it was a version issue. Last time I solved it, it didn't really involve changing settings such as the ones you summed up :s I'm puzzled. Anybody out there who can help?
  10. Hello guys, I am having the following problem, whenever I host a server and see somebody connect I see the next thing show up: XXXXX connected uid="xxxxxx-xxxx" XXXXX entered the game Small pause SPECTATOR XXXXX left the game I remember a few years ago I was able to solve the problem but don't exactly remember how. Back then I used DMZ but now I'm correctly portforwarding 10308 since they can actually see my server & try connect to it. I read somewhere the latest version of DCS WORLD was unstable in multiplayer, so I downgraded to a version 1.2.2.7286. Server browser also popped up some servers so that version was still populated. Still the same thing, people connecting and then disconnecting systematically! I have disabled my firewall and I'm pretty sure even if it was set, I set all rules and exception to let 10308 for all DCS applications through... I'm out of idea's. Can anybody enlighten me?
