Multiplayer Planes jumping on Taxiways

[Need-To-Know]

Playing the latest Beta in Multiplayer. Planes on taxiways and runways are jumping all over the place.

 

Being new to multi player is this just something that happens?

 

Looks pretty bad.....and I guess makes me look bad too according to wingman on Teamspeak.

BTW - We just tested on non beta and everything looked fine. Must be a beta bug.

Probably just don't have enough RAM to run DCS reliably.

With 32 GB?

Edit: Did I miss a joke here?

 

Could there be clients with mixed versions on the serser?

Good use of sarcasm ENO....understated, with an edge of plausibility

 

coulda said that his specs were just squeaking in to run DCS at a respectable rate.

Did you check that your network speed in the multiplayer configuration is set to LAN and not ADSLxxx ?

[Trubshaw]

Yes as Magic say check network connection and ping rates of all concerned.

 

We always fly in MP and a solid server is always a must.

This isn't a requirement since 127 and in fact is no longer recommended. For missions light on AI and in particular ground units then 1024 is the recommended setting. When more cooperative missions are being played with more ground units then 2048 is the recommended setting. I'm not sure I've since read that any client has had to use over 2048 since 127 for a stable experience.

 

The server computer can still use a LAN setting to sustain upload requirements -or the highest ADSL. Obviously as the clients start using lower settings this puts less upload pressure on the server and can significantly reduce lag / warping.

 

 

Oh and yes I was kidding around earlier. ;)

Too funny Eno - Actually DCS was the originator of my PC obsession a few years ago when the 2600K came out, now I just keep it upgraded for work....well that is my excuse anyways. :)

 

So just to check - You guys play the latest beta and have no jumping problems? My teammate on TS (and in another country) has the exact same issue. But seems fine on non beta.

 

Will check connection rates and check servers tonight - I have not touched those settings.

 

I have a really good personal connection. Will check all of your recommendations.

 

Thanks for responding!

Generally that jumping is related to your connection (either on your end, or the server, or somewhere in between), you can even see jumping if the other guy is having a problem, so it might be someone else with issues or even the server itself. If you see this issue, try jumping inot another server, try finding one with a low ping even, just to try it out.
