Flyby Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm flying Cliffs of Dover with the ACG group. We have our campaign-day missions on which the turn out is often over 40 players online. ACG is interested in eventually flying WW2 campaigns in DCS, but I wonder if it can support our numbers players. Anyone know how many planes DCS world supports? In Cliffs of Dover there can be 40(+) players in addition to several waves of bombers (we fly history-based missions). thanks, Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyby Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 So, to be clear, if my server (Air Comabt Group or ACG) can support 40 players there should be no issue?

dooom Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 i once heard 8 players per 2 Mbps upload speed is safe. Not sure if this is still valid - I'd say ask one of the server hosts for big servers like the Virtual Aero, 104th, 51st, or Hollo Pointe.

joey45 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 IT's free so try it out. But it does depend on your bandwidth and computer. When EDGE with it's Dedicated Server it should be better... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Flogger23m Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've had a lot of issues with lag when playing with only 4-5 people online with recent builds. FC2/Blackshark 1 online was much more stable in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostie Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 On the 51st server we've hosted 40 players in 1.2.6 with no lag issues, the only problem is the server crashing after a few hours. At the moment <30 players is a good number for stability using an online friendly mission providing the server is good.

Flyby Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Frostie, what's the form on the 51st server?

Well I hope DCS reworks the code to improve on that. It's building DCS World for a purpose, and I may be mistaken, but I think MMO performance or lack thereof will make or break it. The "electronic battlefield" needs to be more MMO accessible, imo.
