Fudd Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 In order to provide a better server experience and to test other aspects of mission building we need everyones help to test two missions. There will be two server testing periods on the 3Sqn_Dedi Server on Hyperlobby. The two times will be 2000 zulu on the 19th of July and 0000 zulu on 20th of July. WE NEED EVERYONES HELP!! PLEASE MUSTER AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. We will need those participating to report average FPS during different times and report it to the person conducting the testing. For the first period I will be conducting the testing. The second period will be condcuted by S77th-Goya. Again this sever testing is being conducted to improve the Red Flag experience and we need everyones help. THANKS! 159th_Fudd 1 The code is probaly in Russian anyway.

S77th-GOYA Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Just a thought: you don't have to be flying in RedFlag to be part of this testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudd Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 WE NEED TO DO ONE MORE TEST TO ENSURE THAT THE SERVER WILL RUN SMOOTHLY PLEASE JOIN US TOMORROW (July 21st) ON THE 3SQN DEDI SERVER ON HYPERLOBBY AT 16:00 Zulu.

hitman Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Ok I have to ask before I get lost anymore...where is a conversion from normal time to zulu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudd Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hitman, you are on Mountain Daylight Time. It will be at 10:00am for you. The code is probaly in Russian anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4c САВО СРПСКИ Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Zulu = Greenwich Mean Time Conversion ZULU equals to Greenwich only on winter time, otherwise it is GMT+1 and that one hour difference is valid actually.

RvEYoda Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 WE NEED TO DO ONE MORE TEST TO ENSURE THAT THE SERVER WILL RUN SMOOTHLY PLEASE JOIN US TOMORROW (July 21st) ON THE 3SQN DEDI SERVER ON HYPERLOBBY AT 16:00 Zulu. THANKS 159th_Fudd I will see if I can be there at that time. It might be a bit too early, got work to do, but we'll see. edit : problem solved, i'll be there Remember to set server graphics to way below "low" :) S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostie Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 ZULU equals to Greenwich only on winter time, otherwise it is GMT+1 and that one hour difference is valid actually. Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) is UTC and Zulu. You are getting confused with BST (British Summer Time) Probably why you got the times confused for our Squad match.:thumbup: "[51☭] FROSTIE" #55 51st PVO "BISONS" Fastest MiG pilot in the world - TCR'10 https://100kiap.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4c САВО СРПСКИ Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 you're right Frostie for me, being on CET (Central European Time) it does change to Zulu time zone depending on daylight saving time: in winter (+1 H), in summer (+2) yeah, because of that we both mixed 2 squad match rendez-vous first time you mixed up things, second time we did :-D but we're good hopefully for the next one ;-) =4c= SERBIAN VIRTUAL FIGHTERS SQUADRON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Hawk Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I'd like to apologize to everyone for dropping out from the RF test mission, my PC just turned off and wouldn't turn on again, before that my graphics started acting weird as hell; I succeeded in turning it on some 20 mins afterwards, I thought it was no use rejoining the 3sqn server then... But before my PC started acting weird I had no problems with warping or anything that usually causes problems in MP, it was as any other MP game. 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool_t Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Tested the server July 19th Well It was a bit glitchy when some one got shot down or some one entered the mission. Frame rates for me were 68 to 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugatu Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Actually strictly speaking GMT is not equal to UTC but it's close enough not to make you miss your flight ;) Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) is UTC and Zulu.

159th_Viper Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Actually strictly speaking GMT is not equal to UTC but it's close enough not to make you miss your flight ;) Correct if you're into splitting seconds.....;) :) Bit of info....... "The rotation of the Earth on its axis and its rotation around the sun have served as the basis for timekeeping since the dawn of history. The day was divided into 24 hours, each of 60 minutes, each of 60 seconds. Because the length of the solar day (as shown, for example, by a sundial) varies in a regular way during the year it became necessary to average-out this effect and define a mean solar day. This explains the name Greenwich Mean Time(GMT), a time scale in which the mean position of the sun at noon, averaged over the year, is above the Greenwich meridian (longitude zero). Over the centuries the accuracy of time measurement has steadily improved and it was realised that there were irregularities in the Earth's rotation. In effect, the length of the seconds of GMT vary slightly to keep in step with the vagaries of the Earth's rotation. In the 1950s an atomic clock, using atoms of the metal caesium (Cs), was developed at the National Physical Laboratory. It was found to be much more regular than any other type of clock. In 1967, by international agreement, the second was defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of a particular vibration of the caesium-133 atom. This second, which is believed to be of fixed length under fixed conditions, is used to make International Atomic Time (TAI). As International Atomic Time is not linked to the Earth's rotation, a clock and calendar based on TAI gradually become more and more out of step with GMT. So TAI is of little use to anyone who wishes their clock to keep in step with the heavens. Traditional navigation, using observation of the sun, moon and stars, is perhaps the most critical use, requiring them to be in step within a few seconds. In 1972 a new Coordinated Universal Time scale was adopted by the scientific community for international use. It is abbreviated in all languages as UTC. It has since been adopted by many countries as the legal basis for time. It combines all the regularity of atomic time with most of the convenience of GMT. The seconds of UTC are of the same length as those of TAI, and they occur at the same instants. UTC is kept always within one second of GMT by the insertion of extra seconds as necessary (positive leap seconds). It could happen that seconds would need to be removed (negative leap seconds), however all leap seconds so far have been positive. When a leap second is inserted, it is done in the last minute of a UTC year, or in the last minute of June (at midnight UTC). The decision is taken by the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS), and notices are distributed well in advance whether or not a leap second is required. An example follows (using UTC date and time): 1998 December 31 23h 59m 58s 1998 December 31 23h 59m 59s 1998 December 31 23h 59m 60s * 1999 January 01 00h 00m 00s 1999 January 01 00h 00m 01s ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- *... in the UK, where Greenwich Mean Time is in use, the new year begins during the leap second as UTC changes from being ahead of GMT to being behind GMT. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- There are 61 seconds in a minute containing a positive leap second. A leap second occurs at the same instant throughout the world, when the familiar `six pips' radio time signal gains an extra pip before the long pip marking the hour, to become a `seven pip' signal. A mid-year leap second falls during summer time in the UK, one hour ahead of GMT, so the extra second starts just before and ends just after 01:00 on 1st July as UTC changes from being ahead of GMT to being behind GMT."
