Rudel_chw Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Thanks Rudel. :) Exactly what processor are you running? Intel? What GHz? :) dont laugh, but I did my first tests of the dedicated server by running it on my gaming PC in parallel with the DCS regular sim and at that point found that it really didnt seem to use much resources. So, at that point I tought I would give a try to use older components that I already had lying around and if the performance turned awful I would then purchase something new. So, this old processor is actually an AMD APU .. an A4-6300 to be precise, with a single thread passmarg of around 1350 ... much lower than the 1850 passmark of my gaming Ryzen 5 1500x, but seems to actually be enough for the task .. here you can see the cpu utilization when the server is running with a single client .. I've yet to get more people to try it under load: ... keep us up to date how it works when you get some players in there. And if you fly the F/A18 see how many M84 CBU's you can drop without it failing. :thumbup: I will :D A man of culture, I see! :) .. yeah, the best single thing of the Falcon 4.0 was the binded manual .. I dont play it anymore, but couldnt part with such a nice manual .. so much better than a PDF :) Cheers For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkspade Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 you might be better with the FQDN of the service rather than a physical/logical IP address, sometimes IP addresses change quite a bit.. For a person that's attempting to be security conscious, it actually fine if the IP changes (though not a frequent concern for most company IPs), cause then you'd simply have to update it. Its far easier to exploit the DNS system than public IP addressing. http://104thphoenix.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_sukebe Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Quick question. Happily running my server on an old laptop. Is there a cmd line command that I can use to not only load the server and primary mission, but also to autostart it, as against put it on pause on load? Edit: Typical, found the answer 2 mins later, it's a check box in the advanced options.

Lennox85OC Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Well, with the recently released tomcat, I ran into a problem: The server kicks me before DCS managed to load the cat for idle timeout. So, Ill get a SSD for DCS in #2weeks but in the meantime, is there a way to prevent the server from kicking idle clients? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAngel Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Rik is there any update on when this "Web GUI is currently on maintenance" Issue is going to be fixed so we can control the servers again? What's the update on this? I haven't seen either an acknowledgement of this issue from ED nor a fix. I know this is Open Beta but there's absolutely no information on what's causing the error, nor feedback from the developers working on a fix.

Trinacria Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Does anyone have an answer on how you get the dedicated server software to automatically start the mission list when the exe starts? I am not talking about the mission being paused when it starts, I'm talking about the step before that to where you don't have to manually start the mission list every single time when you run the exe. Where I'm getting at with this, I have my virtual server I host on a daily reboot schedule. I am able to get it where the "DCS.exe --server --norender etc..." starts up on boot, but it won't autostart the mission list nor is there an option for it. I do have "resume on load" enabled, and that works when I manually start the mission list, the missions start unpaused. However I do not want to manually start the mission list. I really hope someone understands my question as I already had a bunch of confused people on this thread and other discussions try to understand what I'm saying. I can only assume that either this feature isn't implemented yet, or that it works already with everyone else except me. I can't seem to find any example on the internet to go off of for this. Thank you in advanced for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinacria Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Where is the autoexec.cfg file located? I have looked everywhere in the DCS root folder and all subfolders but I have only see autoexec.lua... If you have it, it will be in your "C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS\Config" folder. If it does not show up there, you need to create it as explained on page 1 of this thread. If you use the -w switch on your exe startup command, you will look for the directory ...\Saved Games\<whatever your instance name is>\Config\.

Thank you in advanced for the help. Try loading it first in normal UI. Start a new server and create your prioritized list in the game UI. Launch the mission, then exit out and start in norender. It should start the same mission that you set up in the normal UI.

Zyll Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) is this error not happening for everyone trying to remotely administer their servers by logging into the ED site? Sounds like it works for some, but not for others (like me). I have tried in an incognito browser, no luck. The local admin scripts work fine when you are logged onto the server directly.
