Is it coming back?

[Raviar]

thanks a lot Alpen for the server and interesting unique missions for all these years, I know creating these missions and hosting servers as well as supporting is a huge effort, I do really appreciate that, the ColdWar server is the only public server I fly, and I don't expect further more.

just to mention but not expectation, if you can add some draw for Friendly/Enemy FARP, Friendly/enemy Armor groups (anything as we should know as briefing).. in the F-10 map so player can see as observer role, would be great, not expect but just if you can.

Thanks again for all the efforts, we were having fun and joy, found new friends in community, many bought coldwar era A/C and had tons of joy in your server for another year.
although it might be soon but who knows about tomorrow, Merry Christmas and Happy new year everyone.  Looking forward into the new year with all of you.
Cheers.

I think he is just busy. From what I understand, the server will be back up soon. I think he is just doing some deferred maintenance items during this operational pause.

Dear Alpen:

I have been a Cold War 1947 - 1991 server user for some time now. I signed up for SRS, Discord, Team Speak and probably a half dozen other things semi-needed to sell my soul to the DCS spirits of Beelzebub. Currently, I am experiencing an inadequacy of service which I had not previously considered. Please allow me to provide specific details, so that you can either pursue your professional prerogative and seek to rectify these difficulties or more likely (I suspect) so that you can have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working day smoking B&H and drinking Starbucks in your office.

My intent to play on Cold War 1947 - 1991 was cancelled without warning, resulting in my spending an entire day sitting on my rear-end waiting for you to revive or at least explain. When this did not happen, I spent a further 57 minutes searching the forums for answers. God, there are some lunatics on the forums. Ungrateful bastards.

I alleviated the boredom by playing with my testicles for a few minutes – an activity with which most of us gaming nerds are no doubt familiar with, and highly adept at. A return to the normally scheduled programming has yet to take place, several days later! This has resulted in a serious state of depression among some faithful. So far, your internet server’s downtime is roughly 100% – the hours between about 6 pm and 6am, Monday through Friday and most likely, the weekend.

I have made 32 calls on my mobile phone to numbers I thought may be yours, based on rumours of your actual name and place of residence. Occasionally believing I had actually reached you on occasion, only to be exposed to a variety of disinterested individuals who are, it seems, highly skilled at verbal assault when awoken at 3:23am.

Doubtless you are no longer reading this letter, as you have at least a thousand other things to do rather than listen to the pratlings of a dissatisfied customer. So before we (the collective 'we' of the followers of Alpen's work) have another of those crucially important testicle moments to attend to, let me rap up.

I thought DCS servers were mostly crap and more importantly, the users were mostly intolerant morons; that they had attained the holy piss-pot of god-awful team spirit and team cooperation; and that no one, anywhere, ever, could be more disinterested, less helpful or more obstructive to delivering quality experiences than the uncommitted amateurs that call themselves "Server Administrators" How surprised I was, when I discovered to my considerable dissatisfaction and disappointment what a useless shower of bastards are on the other servers. They are sputum-filled pieces of distended rectum, incompetents of the highest order. You, you, Alpenwolf, you shine like a brilliant beacon of success in the filthy mire of  seemingly limitless inadequacy. That’s why I chose Cold War 1947 - 1991, that's why WE chose you, Aplen... because, well, there really isn’t anyone else we can turn to in our time of need.

Suffice to say that I have now given up on my futile and foolhardy quest to assuage my grief through random trial and error searches of servers showing similar mission and participant brilliance . I suggest you return the services which you have so pointedly and catastrophically failed to deliver recently.  Excuses will be greeted initially with disbelief but quickly be replaced by derision, and even perhaps bemused rage. I hear Mike-Delta has recalled his old unit and they are currently training in Brussels, for an assault attempt on your home, resulting in a coup regaining control of the COLD WAR server. You don't want that.

Were I an angry man, I would send two small deposits, selected with great care from my cat’s litter tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for this denial of service, but since they would most likely become desiccated during transit (they would be satisfyingly moist at the time of posting though), and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not experience both the rich aroma and delicate texture. BUT THEY WOULD BE the very embodiment of my feelings towards you during these difficult times.

May you rot in Hell,

Have a nice day.

I'm not sure. But it seems he's trying to be funny, and is a big fan of Laiobi.

Server News:

First, I need to apologise to you all for keeping you in the dark. The server has never gone offline like that since day one of hosting, but I had to do it.

I was at my father's for a while. And yes, my wife gave birth to my third child recently. And yes, I'm currently upgrading the server and updating the missions. However, all that has nothing to do with the server going offline. It's not like the server runs on a steam engine and requires me to feed it with wood constantly, but it was impossible while joggling with the baby with the other hand.

... It's something else and of no importance to you, but of a high value to me.

That led me to rethink the issue with having a co-admin, especially, with more missions, events, tournaments, etc. coming to the server. I had a co-admin years ago when I started out, then was better off working alone, then had/have one or two who could have access to the server just in case, but they're not available often enough.
Once I have a co-admin I'll let you know.

Trust me, I'd rather have the server go back online right now, but it might take another week. Hopefully, less.

Meanwhile, show Enigma some support or not, up to you, just don't get distracted by some individuals on both sides or anywhere else.

 

God bless and safe flying!

The fact that you were single handily carrying everything on your own is impressive and daunting at the same time. Totally makes sense, hope to see you back soon

[Miccara]

Humour folks. Just humour. 
Can’t believe I have to point that out.

sidenote:
also because this is the "Cold War Server" - so the pylon limitation for the Viggen, especially if done for fuselage pylons for the RB-24 for represents the AJ-37 Viggen of the Cold War.
The AJS-37 Viggen was a livecycle iteration done after the Cold War more or less representing a "super" model - and we only have AJ(S) variants, otherwise we would have the 30mm in the nose of the Fighter Variants (JA-37) available.
But they are an entirely different airframe, they just look the same.

So again, this is feasible, as it is to have EARLY 29's (A) and F-14s, moreso since we can still hope that next to the EE-Lightning, and maybe one day finally an F-4 that can be made suitable that the full fidelity 29 might be an "A" instead of a "C"(S).

As for the rest.. I am sometimes inclined to shake my head about how persistently people want to ignore the obvious.
The "why" of certain plattforms being used wrong is down to people and the likeliness of their preferences. Where they "come from", where they "go to", what they "think" (or not think rather).

Catering to that in any way shape or form will achieve nothing while eroding the experience environment of the playfield for everyone else.
That would be a mistake, not because I think that (no one cares what I think and no one should) but because that is simply how things are. Not good or bad, not black or white, just "are" by factual discovery. 
Unless popularity, or populism rather is what is to be solely cared about - but then one would have to run honed social media channels catering to the lowest denominator, have a "posse" of fake-friendly fake-concerned guerilla seed proxies and message spin surrogates.
All to seek - as an adult of voting age - the adorment of ones ego by the underage and the intellectually minor.

Which  - unless I am severly mistaken - seems not to be the case.

But should be an admonishment to some of the populace acting willfully, wantingly, selectively ignorant elsewhere achieving nothing but validation of mechanics applied ever since the dawn of time, just in contemporary media tools. 

What a babbling wad of useless goop…. Do you get paid by the word?

Congrats to no.3 Alpen!

Dont kill yourself about the server, looking forward to it whenever it comes up.

Congrats Alpen!
Remember when my daughter was born 22ish years ago, and I didn't sleep for 14 days. But I got to show her flightsims though, flying EECH one handed, with her and the bottle on the other arm.

@AlpenwolfI just wanted to say congratulations on your new baby, I hope you're all doing great. I'm amazed you get to fly at all with three - I pretty much gave up for a few years when I had 2 little ones. Anyway, well done and best wishes.

Congrats and don't worry!

I enjoyed flying MiG-19Ps on your server and while I'd love to see it back soon, real life always comes 51149234099x before a game like DCS.

Running/maintain a server is a ton of work and I am just happy (and often amazed) that people are willing to do it given the limited tools most games provide for server admins/mission makers.

The early/mid Cold War is really one of the most exciting parts of DCS and I hope to see it get more attention from players/devs in the near future.
