Lockon Operation Red Flag/Combined Air Exercise

[Groove]

Please be aware of the slot problem on airbases. If you put too many aircrafts in MP on one airbase they spawn in the air above the runway and exploded as soon as you start the server.

159th_Fudd.... any allowances for tech troubles? maybe after a certain point, if one drops out due to technical difficulty then so be it?

 

... Fellas... knock your overclocks down, loosen your timings, have steady drivers, kick your girlfriend off the internet and let the fun begin! :thumbup:

 

 

Also Fudd... Is it a requirement that all red and blue team be present on one TS or Ventrillo during the exercise? I would imagine with your administration duties that it would be. If so please post the IP to the server so we can have a single comms meeting place and hopefully arrange our comms system... Thanks again Fuddles lol

[Laud]

Once again for all on blue side: After registering on our forums I'll have to add you to the specific usergroup to grant you access to that forum. This may take a short while. Before you've been added to this group you will not see that forum appear on the list.

 

... it's Top Secret, ya know! ;)

Ya know Fudd, I always had a soft spot for you.....

 

For comms, I want all BlueFor and RedFor to be on TS. I will post which TS servers we will use for the match today.

[504Goon]

It says something that an activation key will be sent to your mailbox..

 

Can't tell anything more, because my german is propably even more rusty than your chinese:D

[Groove]

Goon i can help you, ja !

[504Goon]

Wohoo!:D I did read german at school for 6 years, but i don't remember a thing:D

Server Suggestion:

===============

I have a dedicated 100/10 mbps connection that we can use at my friend's house. I will move my server there tomorrow if everyone is ok with that setup. Server is a Core Duo with 2 gigs ram.

 

We(RvE and 3sqn) think it's a good idea, and we will do initial testing on it tomorrow.

 

 

Also RvE ventrilo has more than 50 slots, so we can no problem host the event on that side.

[Fudd]

Yoda, I would like to be there for the testing so please PM me with the info. Thanks!

[Fudd]

Okay,

 

I found a service is San Diego that will let me connect my machine to an optical connection. They guarantee 100mbps in both directions. My machine is a C2D with 2gigs of ram so this may be a feasible choice.

 

The only downside is they want 50 dollars to rent the line. I would need help from the community if I was going to do this.

 

Let me know what you guys think.

 

Fudd

 

EDIT:

 

We will plan on using RVE server as a primary (JaBoG32 is also a possibility) and then hooking up my machine as a back-up plan. If $hit hits the fan and we need to go with the back up plan, I will just foot the bill... after all this Op is my idea. ;)

[GGTharos]

Plan on 1Mbs per 10 players ... you ideally want some capacity left over for surge loads and generally high ping, but that's about the bandwidth you'd need, roughly speaking, so don't over-spend.

[RvEYoda]

Either option works for me, but I think we should keep the doors open. Will you be on tomorrow 2000 GMT? in that case you can join RvE vent at that time (will pm you vent details NOW right away).

[Laud]

Hm... Vent?? Pleeeeease TS *g*!!!

 

JaBoG32-Dedi-Server should be also available. Sounds like using ours would cause the lowest work/costs.

 

@Cali: Nice that u made it into our forums!! ;)

[Fudd]

BlueFor: JaBoG32's TS will be the location for comms for Blue FOR. I will PM the squad leaders the details.

 

For RedFor: We are going to use the 159th TS. Goon and Goya I will PM the details to you. Also I will disclose the info to Laud, Sven and Foxter so that we can all meet up afterwards to brief each other.

[RvEYoda]

Ventrilo, thats for sure :)

[Laud]

C'mon Yoda... TS is up on more players rigs. Servers are ready and set.

[Fudd]

Ventrilo, thats for sure :)

 

Decision has been made. We will be using JaBoG32's TS for BlueFor (note PM)

[Laud]

Thats the point: Inflight-Comms are never that clear! ;)

[Fudd]

Do I need to have everyone from BlueFor raise their hands that are infavor of using Ventrillo over TS.... or can we just be okay with using JaBoG's TS??? :noexpression:

[GGTharos]

Rule it with an Iron Fist Fudd ... sometimes the community just needs to be told the details instead of causing you to get bogged down with'em ;)

[GGTharos]

Yep ... it's really sad and a little strange that the TS devs haven't applied a quality enhancing filter to TS ... apparently that was (IIRC) all that was needed to bring up the quality quite a bit, and it wasn't a big deal even - I'm only repeating something I heard somewhere though, nbt entirely convinced as to the veracity of that.

[RvEYoda]

RvE ventrilo is 50 slots+ and we can host it np.

 

I also have access to a 100-slot ventrilo server where I can set up channels free, should RvE ventrilo be down for some reason,

courtesy of 169th-Raptor :). Effectively 150 ventrilo slots. One in Europe one in US.

 

I have set up the 100-slot ventrilo with a few example channels for red flag, should we decide to use it.

 

It can be accessed through

=======

IP :66.207.167.30

port : 9845

Password for the RedFlag-channel : galfder

(no password required for connecting to server)

 

Same details in Jabog forums

Will the no respawn rule mean no payload changes during the mission?

[Kuky]

I think changing payload could (and maybe should) be allowed. As long as people are fair and honourable not to use this as a cheat if they get hit or crash (because of showing a loss of aircraft in statistics). I will still adhere to what ever rules are already set.

[Fudd]

I dont have a problem with payload changes.

 

I'll be keeping track of who gets killed in order to keep the honest man honest.

 

EDIT:

 

The caveat being that if you want to change payload you must return to the orginal base you took off from. So for example the BlueFor Strike Aircraft may not land at Kirovskoe and then change payload and respawn at Gvardjskoe. You must fly all the way back if you wish to change.
