Awesome, thanks for the reply, I'll give running the process as admin a go and see what happens : )

Hey Surrexen, thanks for the updates! Quick question about the lua files you recommended removing: I don't seem to see those files being created ever in my dcs world folder, even when the mission has been running for a while. Is it possible I am missing something? Do I need to run the dedicated server process as administrator? Or is there a more specific path I should be looking for them in? I am curious because it seems the persistence was never working for me in the past but I never did try to figure out why. Thanks again! Edit: Just for reference, I always set the MissionScripting.lua changes as suggested on the download page. So that is correct. I also always double check after editing that file and starting the DCS dedicated server that the changes stuck, and restart the server process if they didn't.

So awesome! Great work Surrexen, I'm testing this on my server this evening! Thanks again!

That all sounds awesome! Thanks for responding and explaining some of your future plans, I’m excited to keep testing anything you add to the mission. If you ever see more than one person in a server with ‘Quantum’ in the name, feel free to pop in, it’s probably my server and is likely running one of your missions (usually this Normandy one). I’ll probably be trying to bomb the mission target, and mostly missing.

Hey Surrexen, I finally got my forum account to let me post after being randomly blocked post verification for quite a while. Needless to say, I've been running this mission on my dedicated server for quite a while and it's great! I don't seem to hit any performance issues with it set up on a separate server machine. Wondering if we can get an option to enable the B17s to actually bomb their target. Just to get that satisfaction :smilewink: (and yeah, this is the same person that posted this question on the mission download comments). A few other requests/ideas that are completely optional: I like having the option to start cold, it would be great if there were a few of each plane group set cold at the airport that you could optionally select for flying. It is also quite lonely if you are the only one playing. I don't know if this is possible because I am still barely starting to learn the mission editor, but is it possible to request a flight join you in formation (they could be spawned on request)? This would make playing solo feel a lot less lonely. I'd love to have a more direct response to the B17 group from the Axis side. I realize you said it seems to be a big performance hit, but right now the escort mission is pretty uneventful quite often and when the mission is running on dedicated hardware it seems to be pretty smooth so far for me. I have no idea if this is possible, or may already exist and I haven't hit the mission yet, but having a mission to destroy some armor moving from a distant town toward Caen would be really awesome! I feel it would add a bit more realistic excitement and intensity to the missions. Last but not least, I've noticed the axis planes often times seem to suddenly decide to RTB and completely ignore being shot at. It seems like a weird AI bug. They will just fly in formation while being slowly picked off. Don't know if you think this is fixable in the mission itself or not, but it might be worth looking into. The Allied planes may be doing the same thing, but I'm not usually chasing them to so I haven't noticed. I know this is all a lot of work, and you have put in a ton of work already for this mission and all your other ones. Your work is really great quality, I appreciate it a lot. I'm working on learning the mission editor myself to make some small simple WWII multiplayer scenarios as well, and it is quite a task to get the hang of everything. I reeeeaaally wish there was just one AI Axis bomber in the WWII assets... it just feels weird flying a p51 to shoot down axis B17s... Anyway, you are awesome, keep up the good work, and happy holidays!
