tmansteve Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 I am on the cusp of getting my brother hooked but have a question about hosting. I have made a simple multiplayer mission to teach him the basics. Do I upload the mission (we will be using stable) and then join it myself as well as my brother? or do I have to host a different way? I have port forwarded just in case. Any help would be great.
Campbell Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Hosting My First Mission You will need to go into multiplayer, then at the bottom select the middle option “new server”. Then once the new server screen comes up, fill the info in on the top left side (that will be server name and you want a pass word, player limit and your public ip. etc... The right side of the screen is called the “mission list”. At the bottom of the right side select the + symbol, that will open a window for you to load the mission. So navigate to your created mission location, select it, then select ok. If done correctly you should see your custom mission added to the mission list (top right). Once you see that, then select “start” in the lower right corner. That will start your server, once it’s loaded up- Tell your team mate the server name, they should be able to go into multiplayer and see it in the list. Select it, join and have fun. If he doesn’t see it at first tell him to refresh a couple time. Also very important MAKE SURE YOUR BOTH RUNNING THE SAME RELEASE VERSION. You can check that on the main screen in the lower right corner after you first load up DCS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Edited October 31, 2018 by Campbell
tmansteve Posted October 31, 2018 Author Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Many thanks Campbell. Short and to the point. Well written. Will give it a try at the weekend. One other thing, does the player who joins the mission, needs to have all ships and other mods or addons in the mission? Cheers Edited November 1, 2018 by tmansteve
