Hi everyone, I have been working for the last few months on an interactive semi-automated method of managing servers through Discord. I have just done an initial release of the code on github and released an introduction video. I hope to be producing some instructional videos on how to install the system in the coming weeks as well as some documentation on Github. DDC2 GitHub Download Change Log Release v2.0j (May the 4th Be With You) System Requirements Added Powershell 7.x as a pre-requisite for DDC2. (pwsh.exe) Node-Red Flow Added Version info to Node-Red Display Fixed Start / Restart not showing Uptime information and Priority data Fixed Double message on Server Start / Restart. A Status response will now follow the acknowledgement of the command being recieved Powershell (ddc2.ps1) v2.0j Added DDC2-AutoStart v2.0j Added Add-Position v2.0j Added Set-Position v2.0j Updated Set-Window v2.0j Updated UPDATE-MOOSE v2.0i Changed PwdRandomizer to distinguish between SRS and DCS so PwdRandomizer could be called directly from application specific Start Command (start-dcs, start-srs) v2.0i Added Start-Server v2.0i Added Set-Priority v2.0i Added Wait-For-Response v2.0f Fixed Stop-SRS from closing all instances of SRS v2.0f Re-purposed Start-DCS v2.0f Added Start-SRS Powershell (ddc2_config.ps1) v2.0j Added $DesktopLocation v2.0i Added $SERVER_PRIORITY v2.0i Added $DCS_SERVERSTART v2.0e Added $DDC2_MASTER, $AUTOSTART_DCS_WAIT, $srsCLIENTSFile, $srsCONFIGFile Release v2.0d (Restart Command Hotfix) Release v2.0c Release v1.172f Release v1.163d Release v1.163b Release v1.163a Release v1.162 Release v1.154 Release v1.01a Release v1.0

Thanks mate. Hope you guys get a chance to action it soon.

I have beer money, you know for beers. Can we get this added to the backlog?

Literally the first paragraph in the Help tab in the SRS application. FYI, its not a nag screen. It shows what radios your SRS is tuned to. You can also see if you are connected correctly to the SRS server as well as how many people are connected, and the person talking on the radio if the server is configured for it.

Is there a way to request that TACview updater have a silent (unattend, no user interaction) installer for people running dedicated servers?

What is the difference in settings between Telemetry password and client password when configuring a server?

I ran a mission recently on my server that had the Super Carrier in the mission. On spawning onto the carrier the players were spawned in the air rather than on the carrier. It turns out this was due to the Super Carrier not being on the server. After installing the Super Carrier Module onto the server the mission worked as expected. Can we get the Super Carrier added to the base install of the Dedicated Server? The account I run the server on does not own the Super Carrier but I was able to install it using dcs_updater.exe so as far as I can tell it would not incur a cost for people running Dedicated Servers.

I forgot I asked this question previously. Still awaiting an answer.

I run 2 servers on a NUC7I7BNH, they released a BIOS update so now they can support 64GB of RAM. I run both servers as separate VM's.

Hi guys, I have written a few powershell scripts to press the 'ok' buttons for the DCS Server updater. I was wondering if there was a method to update the DCS Server without any user prompting? If not, how does one ask for a method for this to be added to the dcs_updater ?

Bump. I would also like to know how to use the DCS terrain textures and height map in Tacview

Powershell script that clears your meta shaders and FXO files. Hi everyone, I made a powershell script that detects the game version and your video card driver version (only tested on Nvidia cards at this stage) and if a difference is found it will delete all the meta and FXO files for you. It also logs everything it does in a detailed log found in the DCS profile folder you specify. Download for the script and instructions on how to use it can be found here. :thumbup:

Dart, are there any issues with 1.2.3 on the latest open beta patch (2.5.6:47224)? A few servers cant seem to connect to the service anymore.

yeah, the dedicated server keeps crashing. Do they test this stuff before they release it?

Is there a way to silently run dcs_updater.exe?

I've heard issues with people not being able to lock down the back seat of the f14, has this been resolved?

I have conducted a large amount of testing regarding the Server starting to drop packets. AEF Server #5 is the server we are using. Internet connection is Business grade 250mbps/100mbps connection. Server Spec is a virtual machine running on ESXi 6.7+: 3.5Ghz Dual Core 64GB RAM 1TB NVMe Drive ESXi Host CPU runs at about 40% when the DCS Server is running with approximately 400 units on it. At server and mission load there is zero latency, no lag, no (DCS reported) dropped packets. After approximately 24 hours of constant running there is an increase of packet loss to less than 1%. At approximately 5 days the packet loss situation is at around 10%. This includes my client connection that is in the same LAN segment so the dropped packets are not ISP related but rather DCS related. I have conducted extensive testing on my LAN utilizing winPcap and only have retrans from the DCS server. (i.e. the network is solid) The mission has multiple groups spawning via Moose functions, as well as 2x AWACS, 6x A2A Refuellers and Combined Arms units to help capture Maykop airfield and an Aircraft Carrier Group. LotATC, Tacview and SRS are running on the server and are all up to date. Findings at this stage are inconclusive as to why the server gradually grows in packet drop. We did find that the first aircraft affected seem to be JF-17's. It appears the simulation is pausing due to the fact that in the Tacview recording units stop moving when descync occurs. ##New finding## At server Start the Aircraft Carrier and supporting group elements (all the boats), seem to be pausing about once a second. I am going to remove the Aircraft Carrier Group and see if this reduces the Lag experienced.

Hi everyone, I am using MOOSE currently and am trying to work out how to output to the log the set of waypoints for a unit to get the x / y. Does anyone know how to do this that could show me?

@SkateZilla - Any chance you can fix the bug where the launcher is outside the active area of my desktop (i.e. outside the area that my monitor displays). It is the most annoying thing about this app. Other than that its freaking awesome.

@Flight, any update or work around mate?

I know xcom doesnt do any work on this anymore, but is there a walk through on how to get this working anywhere?

Anyone know how to do it WITH scripting?

Is there a specific way I can use the UUID used in the commander slot to limit an aircraft slot to a specific player? I would like to hard set specific liveries for specific players. Is there a way I can do this using this script?

I literally cant believe there isnt a Scud launcher in this game.

Done both a cleanup, repair and a repair with cleanup. All produce the same result, either it joins the server and I am stuck in the VR screen with no menu or it tells me I have a tainted client.
