ED Twitter account looks like abandoned, last tweet is from 22 november 2011. Should I delete shortcut to ED twitter from my favorites? http://twitter.com/#!/eagledynamics

If it will be on the level of DCS then yes I would pay for it.

So if next DCS aircraft is F-18 then I would like to see Mig-29 or Su-27 as a 3rd party module. LOL thats right :D

Will I find 3rd party dev team that could be able to make a HiFi DCS module?

:doh:

What a terrible dream! :fear:

Server should remember UCID for aircraft of player which lost connection. When player will come back then server will check his UCID and open slot for his aircraft. It isn't hard to implement this feature I believe.

Here is the list in points what I would like to see in the future DCS modules: Most wanted: Possibility to manage server using client, Login using nickname and password, Kick player from game, Ban player: IP ban, range ban, UCID ban, nick ban, Load and restart mission. Additional features which can be used by authenticated client: Possibility to change mission settings, Time change, Restarting mission using timer, Show clients packet loss in percents, Possibility to manage permissions for admins. Also I'd like to have possibility to configure (enabled/disabled feature) something like this: if client connection will fail his aircraft will take AI. If he will come back he can jump in his plane. A lot of time saved while flying long missions. Thats all for now :)

In my humble opinion it's a good step forward. I will not look for files like missions, skins or other files which don't need months of work but I'd like to see new maps, aircrafts (I doubt that private developer can do something I can buy), 3D models etc.

The most important thing for user is to be aware of new threats like viruses, trojans and other things which have not been added to anivirus database yet.

You can choose "high ports" from range 1024-65535. If you have router you will have to forward chosen port. Offender is reading servers list from master server. If your server is on the list he will know your IP and port. In next step he can attack your server. Even if you hide your server he will still have your socket (IP/port) and you know what he can do with this data. If you change your incoming port he will not be able to successfully attack your server and remember if you register your server on master server using new port he will be able to attack your server again.

Wrong. If you will know trusted client IP addresses then you can drop everything else. UDP is just connection less but it still have to tell the server sender address.

If you are hosting FC2 game you can encounter attacks directed to servers registered in master server. You can hide your server by hosting it on LAN but keep in mind that your server will not be visible in the server list. Prophylactically you can change incoming port number.

I've asked Nostradamus and he said: Q2/Q3 2012 - FC3 Q2/Q3 2012 - Curtain up, we know next DCS module Q4 -2012 - alpha/beta of next DCS fast mover :D

Waiting for first official head tracking tests :D BTW:

Very well said Kuky. I hope they will resolve the problem before FC3 release. Maybe he has no windows in his room and only internet cable available.

Deep packet inspection can be done by installing Vyatta on a virtual machine. You can use virtual network interfaces to setup it but it needs additional resources and will have significant impact on performance... http://www.vyatta.com/ It's just an idea and I don't think it match the needs on FC2 servers...

From what I know they are not trying to do anything...

You are wrong. We have something on the radar but we are not sure what it is. Looks like fixed wing aircraft:

It's not a big problem for me. Personally I prefer to have upgraded game engine every new release than only a "simple" patch for game core.

I can agree with you in some way...

So that's mean no servman or server side scripts anymore... maybe it's time to include basic functions similar to servman in FC3/DCS?

I don't know how he is making DOS attack but maybe Cloud Flare can help in some way. https://www.cloudflare.com/ BTW. Are there any chances to see a step from ED?
