created a batch file to rename them each time and then launch DCS

you can copy it over to new SSD, done it a few times myself You might want to change the paths in any short cuts you have to new lcoation

Amazing stuff Franky, very well done

I do have a concern regarding how this wil be implemented in the ME IF there 2 different slots in MP eg MIG21 MIG21MAC, that will reduce the amount of available slots to be used on a server eg I am trying to convert my mission to Persian Gulf, there are a lot less slots in most of the other airfields, so having to have 2 different slots for both aircraft might be an issue Would a better method not be to have one MIG21 slot and IF a user has either then use that one he has, if user has both, then let him select ?

If ED were to tell you, you can bet it will be on the morning of the dedicated exe being released

no chance of that

You are not alone in wondering why things are this way

I have to agree with several postesrs have said, I spend a LOT of time working on trying to get my missions working best as possible, thus providing a nice environment for new people to learn how to fly/shoot I hope that by providing a safe (no TKing allowed) place for people new to DCS / new to DCS in MP can get up to speed, learn from other players and have good fun From doing admin on gaming servers for a very very long time, some stuff that would be good for administration on a server and handy for clients Command Example Description #login password #login adminPW Log in as the admin. Password is stored in server config file eg passwordAdmin = "Ninelinesisawesome" #logout Admin log out. #mission filename #mission mymission.miz changes currently running mission to mymission.miz #missions open select select mission GUI. #userlist prints out list a players/UCID and their Player# Allows you to ban a player. Their ID will be added to the ban.txt (server reads this and decides to let people in or not) #exec ban name #exec ban nickName #exec ban ID #exec ban a35677b3ce4fd3 #exec ban Player# #exec ban 3 Allows you to kick a player. #kick name #kick nickName #kick ID #kick a35677b3ce4fd3 #kick Player# #kick 3 client access control #lock locks the server (no new clients can connect) #unlock unlocks the server, new clients can connect again Some stuff for Clients starting up - making life easier standard connect to open server dcs.exe -connect=IP/Name of server -port=server_port eg dcs.exe -connect=havoc-company.com -port=10308 connect to passworded server dcs.exe -connect=IP/Name of server -port=server_port -password=password eg dcs.exe -connect=192.168.1.69 -port=10308 -password=ED_are_great

Thanks for posting this I look forward to a more through post detailing how to make the server / mission run better ?

Good man finding that, the batch file is a cut down version of the one I use to manage our server, fixed it now

Great that you have done some looking into this So what are the numbers ? how many is "too overloaded" ? 200 300 400 ? We have removed about as much as we can from our mission in the hopes of making it run better It is very light on scripting but we still get issues eg cargo crates stuck in the air

Simple question, will ED being releasing a dedicated server exe that people can use to host on their own systems ?

+1 for this great idea

open dcs_weather.py in notepad++ search for b_change_time = False change to b_change_time = True Sorry for not get back sooner, been busy trying to keep the server running

+1 VERY valid point, I suffer from motion sickness in a lot of FPS games (I canny play a lot of them) First time i tried a hard banking turn low to the ground in a heli I almost puked Discovered that if I tilted my head in direction of turn all was well tho

@Elysian Angel , does sling loading work for you on your server? as in when you move some cargo about do all the clients connected see it when it is dropped elsewhere?

yep, just use ye olde copy and paste those folders onto your spare HD

Hmm and yet 4,431 views on a post not even 3 days old Take a look down the first page of this sub forum, how many have anywhere this many views and are approx 3 days old ?

I like the 5 year warranty that Zotac cards come with

dang thats odd I get Successfully updated to 2.5.2.19273.411 in my release version autoupdate_log.txt and Successfully updated to 2.5.2.19273.411 beta version autoupdate_log.txt What should the beta version be at ?

It can be aweful when stuff like, warping happens, sling load cargos hovering in the air, disconnections etc and of course server crashes I don't think you are understanding me , if MP was crapt 100% of the time no one at all would play MP at all, its just sometimes the bugs make it a bad experience I suppose its different for me as I would spend time on most evenings in MP so I see more than others might do Mission I use is pretty lean on what is active, our server specs are fine for hosting DCS I dont know about 250ms ping players, anyone over 180ms get auto booted from our server Open beta and Release are the same build right now ?

Our server has a 180ms ping limit with most players ping being less than 100ms, still get warping I never said unplayable, but the bugs that are present can make for an aweful online MP experience

Thats is a good point you make, is it because they only want to play SP ? or because MP is so badly bugged they give up on it ?

Sadly is think you are right, people been asking for Dedicated server since LOMAC and still many years later pretty much zero progress Do not get me wrong I hope that in one weeks time ED .. go SURPRISE and give us a free dedicated server exe that will run all maps .... but I will not hold my breath

hmmm, I canny see any errors try this go to the folder where the mission is open the file "mission" in notepad++ run the batch file see if notepad++ says "this file has been updated do you want to reload it" at least we can see if the file is being updated by the py file
