HiJack

Yes, and where is the fun in all having a white helmet :doh:

Yes you need to edit me_authorization.lua also. There is a new updated version somewhere on this forum of the lua scripts.

Understood. Can we please have a fully simulated MiG-29K? :music_whistling:

Awesome Jack! :thumbup:

Was in the original plans.

One other option would be to enable multiple instances of DCS.exe to run so we could spread our training and testing needs using the same server but different ports. Or make the single DCS instance so it can run more than one server. Maybe limited numbers of players on each instance, 2 instances 16 players each or 4 instances 8 players each. One other ting that needs work is multiple spawn on each of the airfields ramp points. We are already getting to few spawn points if mission have all aircrafts available in mission. Either remake slot selection for player or remake each ramp spot to hold more than one aircraft. Something have to change at least.

A linux dedicated server would also lower the server cost considerably!

Yes, I would say MAC should really be number 5 :smilewink:

The "game mode" is a completely different game all together.MAC will be simple but "normal" radar and lock.

No, that is number three in the list.

Thank you. Will most lightly buy the full license for MAC to support ED anyway but good to know. :thumbup:

Just one simple question. Will the advanced flight model for the MiG-29 be free for FC3 owners or do we have to buy update to MAC?

Thank you for the updates Wags. TAW will definitely be interested in hosting two “official” servers, one in North America and one in Europe. One tip on how to shortening the waiting when joining MP server. Just load a dialog where the player must select a side and read the briefing for that side! Lock the dialog “continue...” button until player have loaded the cache and preloaded textures. When continuing the player selects slot. I’m looking forward to your announcements regarding multiplayer. :thumbup:

Just a stripped down front end on the server that can host all maps would help greatly. The simple front of a server is something that could be done anytime, no MP priority is the truth. We have heard promises of a dedicated server before also but then just taken of the chart again. I mean any changes towards a dedicated server would help.

DCS have never been aware of any change you do on the sound device list. If you change default device output DCS will not follow.

This mission is in Cacasus

Did it work Gary?

Trim for on speed AoA and then just use throttle to adjust flight path. Practice with gear and flaps full from 10000 feet, trim perfectly then keep AoA on speed all the way down to 1500 feet. Try activating auto throttle just to see how you should use the throttle to keep the speed.

Just make one change in config for the new hotas and it will save using the new ID.

Yes it will but you have to rename the joystick .diff files to the new device ID. These are all in saved games input folder.

Yes, I spotted warping in the TAW weekly event tonight as well. Sure hope we are not getting in to a long period of warping again!

Yes I believe there is, check out "mist.getGroupData(groupName)". I believe this will also give every units loadout. Edit: Something like this: local myGroupData = mist.getGroupData(myGroupName) -- gets all data for the referenced group name trigger.action.outText(mist.utils.tableShow(myGroupData), 25) -- will show data on screen env.info(mist.utils.tableShow(myGroupData)) -- will show data in log

Thank you Grimes, so it is possible :thumbup:

Agree. Hosted a lot of servers for other games that run on the smallest hosts with no problem. DCS is not made for hosting multiplayer servers as it currently runs, at least not on any dedicated from a service provider. You can host on co-location and build your own but the cost of renting a U2 rack space is usually very expensive. Some folks I know host servers on University lines with success but then again you need to know the IT boss. The best option I use so far is the OVH servers. You there get a 4 core, 64GB memory server for about $100 a month but you can on that one host 2 DCS servers if you run Windows server 2012R2 (comes with license to run two instances of Windows 2012 server). And if you get the license from a student, well, the price tag will drop considerably on the license cost. So with the two servers you can host 2 DCS servers and all the OP's requirements.

If you transform all your “smart” triggers to predicate scripts you can move them easily to new missions. Predicate scripts is also much more flexible and powerful. I believe you even can “cut & paste” these triggers in the raw mission file. If you reference unit or group names in the predicate script these must of course exist in the new mission for the script to work. EDIT: Predicate work on a true/false return value!
