Hi ZoSo. Do you mean add another area ? If so I am afraid the answer is no as we already have 4 isolated areas. Too much fragmentation. The idea is to have fun with other people. If you mean something else, let me know. Cheers

Hi Refixul. No, no need to use comms. TS is there is you want but not many ppl use it. Enjoy !

Hi there ! Unfortunately it boils down to the individual. Until ED fixes this, we rely on people's decency to not abuse it.... Cheers !

Hey there ! The labels should be nothing more than a dot. They are for VR users that are in serious disadvantage over the Screen users. Since this is a close range dogfight server, it should be no problem. Cheers !

Hi Aries. Exports are off for the beta server. Bandwidth issues.. It should be OK in the main server.

Hi There ! My free time for the past several months is zero... But I will try to make it as soon as life permits :)

It's all in the game, it's just a game etc etc But language like this is not accepted. That guy will not be bothering you anymore. Cheers

Dear Darkman hi ! The data export is on for the main server (please let me know if you have issues there). The OB server, because of limited bandwidth, has everything switched off. But, on both servers the delay is set to 0, so whatever is happening is not due to our settings. I will do a further investigation when time permits. Cheers !

Hi Stuart ! Sorry for missing your post. We used to have a WW2 area in the server, but was rarely used. It only created more slot-chaos and delayed loading/start-up times. The final blow came when server crashes started and I was taking everything out, in desperation to find what was causing it. I never did, but the planes never made it back. Plus the wasted money on all these modules that I have never flown more than 1 or 2 times... I stopped buying as I prefer to keep the money for the server's fees. Still, I may put back a couple of planes since you asked. Do you have a preference as to which ones ? (keep in mind I do not have the new Fw109A and I-16). Regards !

Hi there ! For the moment I am afraid that it cannot happen. The server is already too fragmented. Our idea of a public server is to have a multiplayer experience, not a private meeting. Two such areas are already too much. I hope you understand ! Cheers !

No, not really.. No time and no more energy left for this. Just a complicated system for detecting the issue and restarting everything. If you figure anything out please let me know. Cheers !

Hi darkman. The stable version seems there as well as the open beta. Which one was not visible to you ? I did a restart on the open beta, please see if is has now appeared. Cheers !

Sash, you have to understand that misinformation costs. When you post "your server crashes every 15 minutes" you raise an alert. I have to stop whatever I am doing and go hunting a reset loop that does not exist. It costs valuable time that I do not have; for something totally wrong. Do not do it. The server issue at the moment is described in the linked post. I am the last person that wants this, but please understand that there is nothing else I can do. Either live with it (until fixed) or enjoy some other of the gazillion DCS servers. On another subject, I do not know if English is your native language, but some of your comments come across borderline rude. It's not a bid deal, intentional or not, it's the internets after all. But being polite always gets you more in life. Please let's drop this subject. Past this point it's just noise... Cheers.

Hi Sash ! Instead of being rude maybe you could support this thread : https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=238795 OFC you can always ask for a refund ;) Cheers...

Although not very happy yet with the server's performance, I think you must be looking at somebody's else's server. Below are the server restarts. Note that I have it on an auto-restart when going empty or if found empty for one straight hour. 276 players connected since 7th of May (3 days). I don't see 15 minutes anywhere... What you claim doesn't make sense. Check you network.... Server restarts : 08/05/2019 01:44 08/05/2019 07:46 08/05/2019 08:48 << AUTO restart on empty for 1 hour 08/05/2019 13:52 08/05/2019 17:33 08/05/2019 23:08 09/05/2019 02:41 09/05/2019 08:18 09/05/2019 13:38 09/05/2019 18:57 10/05/2019 00:21 10/05/2019 05:25 10/05/2019 09:48 10/05/2019 16:27 Cheers...

Hi Vertigo and company, very interesting thread. My score from fraps on a 30 seconds measurement : No mirrors: Frames: 1949 - Time: 30000ms - Avg: 64.967 - Min: 61 - Max: 68 Mirrors : Frames: 1639 - Time: 30000ms - Avg: 54.633 - Min: 51 - Max: 58 Test system : CPU i7-6700K @ 4.6 Ghz RAM 16GB DDR4 @ 3200 Mhz, CL16 VGA RTX2080ti @ 1.7/2.0 Ghz

Hi there ! The hellis were removed in an attempt to find the issue with user disconnections. Of course I will place a couple of Mistrals if you want them ! And we can do something about the Viggens too ! If you have any preference regarding the hellis let me know - where you want them, maybe blue against red in some area or in the middle of the fast movers etc. Cheers !

Hi again, The thanks is by default, no need to repeat it !!! All IPs are static. I had at least 3 more group disconnections yesterday, I also had a post in the server's thread ( https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3884477&postcount=149 ). Same behavior as my initial post. I will try the timeouts. IPv4 did not seem to affect it. My last attempt will be to have wireshark capture the whole thing. I suspect it all started when the new server binaries started silently rolling out (I am trying to find a logic to it all). The server was running 24/7 with no changes for about 21 months with absolutely no connectivity issues (the occasional crash but I auto-restart with VBScrip). OK... thanks again ! Any more clues welcome...

This is a very good question ! Please support this thread : https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3883215#post3883215 Maybe we then get some support solving these issues... I have just about done all I could.

Many thanks c0ff. ipv6 setting worked like a treat. I have already activated the settings and awaiting results. Any place I can see the more "esoteric" settings of the networking ? Also any short description of how the whole network is setup eg : - TCP used for what ? - UDP for what ? - If the server is not communicating with server browser can the players still connect (IP: PORT) or it stops listening for incoming connections ? - Anything else I can try ? Again many thanks for your kind help.

There are so many other factors that would affect your performance, from the plane you are flying, pixel density, platform (Oculus, Vive, screen etc etc), mission and a million other things. But still 85 fps sounds brilliant ! If you want some meaningful comparison choose some of the settings and follow the same procedure as I described in the mentioned post. That would be interesting ! Cheers !

Nice one Sashmeister Thanks for your effort. I hope you enjoy the server ! See you online...

Hi ppl. I have just upgraded my video card to an RTX2080ti. This is a comparison with my previous GTX1080. The comparison was done with Oculus but I guess applies to all users. Test procedure is my usual one as described here https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3549074&postcount=218 I hope you find it interesting and/or helpful. My conclusion is that for my set-up it was worth it. I have substantially better game play for my preferences. In general, I get very often 90fps with a PD of 1.8 (which for Oculus CV1 I think is the best). Setting NR 16 gives me 100% improvement and at the moment is my favorite. Cheers.

DCS version 2.5.4.29167 Hi ! TL;DR : Server suddenly disconnects all players Server cannot register with ED server browser for a random amount of time The server registers WEBGUI while is started without the -webgui parameter Is there a way to disable the use of IPv6 from DCS (not windows) ? Details and log : 1,2 : For about 3-4 months now our JUST DOGFIGHT server has been behaving erratically. The latest and very annoying symptom is the instant disconnection of all players. Then is goes into a hunt to register again with Master Server (dcs:checksession failed) At some stage it reconnects and clients start joining again. Any help (from ED or not) is highly appreciated... 3 : Although I have not asked for webgui, the log says that it does register the server as such. Is this just a logging bug or the flag get ignored ? 4 : In my attempt to isolate the issues, I want to switch off IPv6 in DCS. I do not want to disable it in Windows. Ideally I don't want the message appearing in the logs. Any idea how to do this ? - The server is on symmetric 1Gbps line, full redundancy connectivity farm. - I have not identified any in-game event the precedes these disconnections - CPU usage is about 20% average and memory used never exceeds 60% - Operating system is MS Server 2019 As I said, any help from ED or not is highly appreciated. Thanks ! This is a cleaned up log of the 1 and 2 points :

I Checked the track on the server and it is identical to the one you posted. I hope that it was just a glitch. Cheating in a game is pathetic and shows serious mental (and not only) deficiencies..... See also this thread https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3878357 Apparently latest OpenBeta closed a couple of possible exploits. But, because even worst than a cheater is a false accuser, I attach the tracks from this guy. There seems nothing remotely suspicious. The incident with you is the one and only thing that is out of place. And as we all know, internet has no lag, DCS has No bugs, its network code is perfect and every Christmas, Santa brings the presents. Maybe you want to take that video down, change its title (add a question-mark) or include the tacview tracks. You still did not explain "bipolar"; please do. And also, let's not fill any more of our limited free time with useless conversation about cheaters... Cheers TheoNpn.zip
