New dedicated server news?

[wopski]

Just interested if there is any update on this posted in July??

 

With the launch of 2.5 earlier this year, we have been working diligently on an item we’ve been wanting to bring to DCS World for quite a long time: a dedicated server. It however was not until the launch of DCS World 2.5 was this possible, and hence the length of time this has taken.

 

As a dedicated server, the software will not require any graphics rendering, so no dedicated graphics card will be required and there is no audio requirement. This all greatly reduced server load overhead.

 

There will be a new web GUI to control the server. Operation of the dedicated server through the web GUI will operate much as the existing online server does now, but allow you to make changes remotely.

 

We plan to release the dedicated server in Autumn 2018. Afterward, we will investigate adding additional features to expand its capability.

 

Sincerely,

The Eagle Dynamics Team

Also will we be able to run multiple servers from one computer?

Another important question is will we need to purchase maps for the dedicated server? I have refrained from purchasing the PG map in the sale for my server anticipating the dedicated server software being released this fall and that we would no longer be required to purchase additional maps to host missions made for a particular map.

I have some doubt about that, if they'll put free map with dedicated server app, they will have to refund / transfer credit for all server admins that already purchase the map.
