I use an old and low specs Laptop to launch this server (yes Fiber was installed few weeks ago ) and play solely in MP mod. It runs really smoother and there are no big differencies. Of course MP can be used to play the same campaign with different planes too ! Yeah been using this trick for Arma 3 and Falcon BMS before, just has do dust the old Laptop off and install it. Hopefully I will get playable frames in VR with the viper. the old FC3 planes runs smooth in VR the viper, not so much. Not tried the Viggen yet but I guess it's somewhere between FC3 and Viper.

ZeroReady Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 So I've never run the dedicated server before but I'm tempted to try it now on my spare laptop. Can anyone tell me if the laptop can still be used for other things while running the dedicated server? Does it use a lot of resources? Is it best to to just leave the laptop alone while it is running the dedicated server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured changing to NG in scripts, but didn't figure out the re-save mission part Otherwise it throws errors. In the first mission, the deck looked beautiful, but unfortunately the late controlled F-14s didn't start when they were supposed to, which led to a full stop at the deck operations. I checked tasks and triggers - those were OK. No clue why they didn't start there.. An update of scriptsMod.NG is available, you can download it via the button of DCE_Manager.exe: This is still a test campaign, And please send us your mission files (and tacview if possible) if you find any errors. You will probably get an alert ""(0a) ATTENTION: the variable: CVN_despawnAfterLanding was not found in the conf_mod file, chapter: mission_ini" Don't worry ^^ an update of the campaign will come soon, if you can't wait, add this line in the conf_mod (in mission_ini chapter) CVN_despawnAfterLanding = true, -- (default = true) despawn aircraft landing on CVN and LHA ,this avoids collisions between taxxing and landing aircraft Quote 78 -fixed: some planes do not taxi 79 -fixed: in the MP form, proposes targets already destroyed 80 -fixed: taxiing times are bad 81 -fixed: the player cannot spawning on the sixpack even if there is space available 82 -fixed: too much or too little aircraft on the deck. 83 -added: Check and Help CampaignMaker 85 -fixed: the player cannot spawning on the sixpack even if there is space available 86 -added: manual despawn of the planes blocking the deck. 87 -added: despawn aircraft landing on CVN and LHA (option conf_mod) 88 -fixed: planes blocked because of the sixpack 89 -added: version of scriptsmod in the mission file 1 FAQ DCE (Cef & Miguel'version) In case of problem with a mission generated by CEF's DCEs, please post as many elements as possible: - the mission + the tacview + a screenshot of the bug window + Give the name of the campaign + version of the scriptsMod DCE_Manager News : Crisis in Persian Gulf, one campaign, 13 modules (29/12/2023) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also left feedback before that, but I often see the F-14 blocking the f-18 trying to use catapult #1 and #2.

So far managed only four missions, but it looks good. No further problems with carrier takeoff order, flights are generated as expected. Weather works as advertised. There were some problems with AI wingmen not being able to attack the static and map objects. However this is not the fault of DCE, rather DCS.

Metal_121 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Now the next issue, not really related to the campaign but to setup. Cant pick the F-16..., Server is dedicated so it should have all modules in it but when trying to pick the F-16 it's greyed out, if I picked the M2000 it worked... don't have the M2000 on my playing rig so it will be a issue when connecting I assume. Skipped mission, next same thing. Now I sorted it in a way that I didn't expect. Loaded in the FA18 campaign, then run the bat and selected the F16, all went thrue, now the FA 18 missions was grayed out and unselectable but the F16 had 2 selectable missions. Wierd but if it works it's ok Edited May 5, 2021 by Metal_121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wierd but if it works it's ok Well I'm not sure to understand your problem ! What do you mean with "Server is dedicated so it should have all modules in it " ? When you use DCS dedicated server you need to chose an MP option when you generate a mission : The two MP choices are T (where you begin to chose your target) or N (where you begin to chose your plane) If you play without any human wingman on a dedicated server you need to chose 1 flight only in the options then only one plane. DCE will give you AI wingmen So when you launch the mission you should only be able to see your chosen plane in the list. If you play alone and you prepare many flights of different planes to generate the mission the problem will be that all playable planes will not fly in the mission if no human select them...

Yes got that and I tried again with the Falcon PG campaign and this time it worked, I must clicked the wrong combp somehow. Now when I got the missions at the server.. how to start the mission, in single play I choose the campaign and start from there in the server I need to select it, so is it Falcon over PG_ongoing or Falcon over PG_First, the cmp file is not selected in the server browser. I'm new to DCS server and just want it get right so I can enjoy it. Also in SP uyou get this bat file running how does that work in the MP, do I need to be at the server and select the options or is it done automatically? Sorry for all the questions, I guess some will answer themselves as I get the campaign running in MP. Edited May 5, 2021 by Metal_121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAXsenna Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 what is the reason to play SP in a server?, any advantages?Because DCS is "single threaded", the server will run on different cores, hence you will get a performance boost because the server will offload the client.Cheers!
