Mirknir Posted October 16, 2016 Author Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) I noticed the server resets every 4 hours. When it does this, does it reset the map? DCS stability decreases over time and the memory it used increased due to a memory leak in a script function I use a lot in Skynet (Open Conflict masterscript and launcher automaton) Also, the mess in the map increases as people crash and create more and more wrecks and even with Skynet dynamic spawning, the content of the map diminishes over time. For these main reasons and some minor other, Skynet resets the server every 4h meaning the map is reset and starts from scratch. During a reset, players will be sent back to spectator, reload the map and if they are lucky, they will stay connected. Every X resets, Skynet will do a full restart meaning it shuts DCS down, restart it and automatically do all the mouse clicks to relaunch the server. A restart will take like 1 min and everyone will be disconnected as DCS is actually shut down. This will free the leaked memory. When you play, the warning popup "Server will reset/restart in 2h30" will use "reset" or "restart" depending on what will happen next. Also, randomly, the server might crash and Skynet will trigger a full restart for your convenience :thumbup: Edited October 16, 2016 by Mirknir Mirknir My old server: The Thread
noisy_lightning Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) You have two options for radio, the Simple Radio and Teamspeak. Which is used most...I tried using SR and never heard another person the whole night. I tend to have both running. Have a couple of radio binds on my HOTAS for simple radio and a keyboard bindnfor teamspeak (capslock as its not used by dcs). The trouble is finding eh frequency for SR but asking in global chat normally helps with that. OK the topic of SR can you enable auto connect? Edited October 16, 2016 by noisy_lightning

noisy_lightning Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 SR freqs are in the briefing. Also what is auto connect? What does it do? I have the ip of SR already. Some other servers I have played on allow SR to connect automatically when you join the DCS server without having to copy and paste the ip. So once you join the SR server connects in the background automatically as long as the client is running. I hopped between three servers yesterday all of which worked like this without me doing anything. I think it might be a setting on the server side to enable auto connect. The plus side was that more people were using SR as a result.
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 SR freqs are in the briefing. Also what is auto connect? What does it do? If you're unsure how to enable just ask cribob on the srs standalone thread and he can walk you through setting it up.

Pocket Sized Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I have to say I love the cold weather. The A-10's engines spool noticeably faster, the P-51 is less prone to overheating, and you actually have to warm it up before takeoff which is something I'd never done before. Also, doesn't the denser air increase overall performance of the airplane in the same way less dense air decreases performance? Fuel consumption is noticeably higher at a given altitude which adds a bit of a challenge to those of us that have to fly on the deck :D DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.

After reacquainting myself with this sim in the last few days, after years of not flying with it, your Multi-player server has proven to be the most fun I've had with my pants on. :thumbup: When I want to get some fun leisurely multi-player in, and don't see this one on the server list, I become very sad. So thanks again for all this, and providing a direct IP to get my fix! :)

So thanks again for all this, and providing a direct IP to get my fix! :) No problemo, I am working right now on decreasing the server downtimes that happens for various reasons. This means updating my dcs launcher that launches, monitors and restarts DCS in case of problems. These are not changes that will directly impact the gameplay but still, I think it needs to be done. I'll still post release notes on it when I am done. In the meantime, I am still trying to upgrade the server hardware so any donation would help wink wink Mirknir My old server: The Thread

Donating is definitely something I intend to occasionally do, while flying on your server (just did, a little bit). Multi-player is really the only regular thing to be done in DCS, IMO, so having a good spot that caters to my preferences is essential. :)

You can get more detail for each target by using chat; enter -ag [ABC], where "ABC" is the three letter code for each target you can see in the F6 view.
