DefaultFace Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 We at the Fighting Legends are glad to announce that we are back up and running with a new Server. Our plan at the moment will be to run a Stress Test for the next week, with the possibility of maybe adding another week if necessary. All of this is in order to test server load/performance in preparation for Normandy. Currently we are running the same mission that was running in January. For those who weren't there this mission is focused on Dogfighting, does include some ground targets and most excitingly includes Grass airfields! We look forward to seeing you all in the air!

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 yes, please join us the next few days, as the more people are joining, the better we know whether our possible future investment will make sense....this is a pure stress test server, which we currently dont own, but if it proves capable of our expectations, we plan to invest in the very same machine to host a 24/7 ww2 server... one tiny request towards the ED moderators...please, dont move this thread just yet. im sure this section gets more attention than the multiplayer section does, especially when its about focused ww2 content...we would like to really see the limitations of the server and therefore it will be necessary to have as many people online as possible, to see whether this will be a worthwile investment in future...thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye60 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 This is a great idea. Thank you! I will be sure to join you guys in the skies of Normandy! We need pilots to protect the B-24 and B-26 ai bombers the WW II ADC team are working on. Or the Lancaster, B17G and other ai aircraft in progress. Did you see EightBalls video of the bombers flying and holding formation? He figured out how to do it! Truly the best times lie ahead!

DefaultFace Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hi Hawkeye, Although I agree that integrating bombers into WWII missions would certainly be tons of fun and is definitely something we are interested in looking at later on, at this stage due to the nature of this being a one week stress test we are more focused on examining server performance. Mods are unfortunately a little beyond the scope of the server at this point in time. Thanks, DefaultFace 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck.

Mods are unfortunately a little beyond the scope of the server at this point in time. Of course. I should have been more clear. I meant when the server is fully functioning in Normandy. I have a few friends who will join the fun! Thanks again Hawkeye "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.

showtime817th Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Oh, I remember this mission a few weeks ago....I thought it was really cool the way the Air bases were setup. Next week will be great for me, wife will be gone all week but, don't get me wrong I'm really going to miss her ;). She would kill me if she see this lol. Just a side note...I do run VR and I notice on a sever that has clouds it gets a little jittery for me. If I remember correctly this mission had clouds. I will play around with my setting to see if can make it better. S! Edited March 3, 2017 by showtime817th [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShoes Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Nice work with setting up the mission. I like it, the grass airfields are nice. :thumbup: imo too many ground objects around the airfields / ground target area though. Makes the fps drop too much / makes it jittery. Have you tried out having less ground objects in one area? Perhaps having more areas with ground targets, but less targets on a single spot. Have you experimented with weather? If clear skies would improve fps? Hopefully ED has learned from the current issues and 2.0/2.5 (or whatever the Normandy get’s released on) will be a bit better on graphics performance. TeamSpeak server (or pointing us to a common public one) would be nice. I’ll be dropping in during the evenings / weekend few times.

DefaultFace Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hi Redshoes, Ground targets have been removed for the time being. I think for now the airfields will stay as they are but if we get alot of reports of them causing issues we can take another look at maybe 'optimizing' them somewhat. 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck.

JuliMonkey Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I like that. A feldflugplatz is great. Are there bombing targets on the server? Edited March 4, 2017 by JuliMonkey Ka 50 - MIG 21 - FW 190 D9 - SU 27 - F15 - F 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultFace Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Currently there are only ships off the coast for axis to attack.

showtime817th Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hey Guys, The labels seem to be turned off and it was hard to see anything today. Hopefully the labels will be back on soon. I did a test on my pc with and without clouds in the same area and with out clouds no jitteriness, a few other experience the same thing. Would be nice to test it on your server with out clouds. I understand if you want clouds on there. Great mission by the way. S! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultFace Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 AFAIK labels are an easy fix and should be running again tomorrow. Ill make sure to get the clouds removed as well. Out of curiosity... do the clouds cause issues for you on all servers (for example ACG) or just on ours? 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck.

showtime817th Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Yes, on all WWII server that has clouds same issue. I thought it maybe the heavy populated area but, Steel Balls has same area with clouds that BS has and I have no issue with BS, only ACG, BS and the others. I know Redshoes has some frame rate issue as well with out VR but, he sometimes runs VR though. Let's test it out and I will report back to you tomorrow. Also, I did my own test with a bare mission in the same area with and with out clouds and with the clouds had same issue. Thanks for helping DefaultFace, Check SIx! Edit: I forgot that Steel Balls has one mission with out clouds in same area as BS...I flew it tonight with out any issues.

showtime817th Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Thanks David...will try out tomorrow. Can I ask one more favor...Can you guys turn on player export? Would like to run my Gametrix jeatseat if I could. Edit: I went ahead and did a quick test tonight and it works perfectly now. Thanks for doing that David, I do like the clouds so hopefully in Normandy that wont cause any issue. I will be on tomorrow to fly on the server after work.

Stonehouse Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 If it isn't top secret I'd be interested in how you got the grass fields to work. Are you using the take off anywhere mission editor mod? Pics look like you've got markers for the runway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
