Joe Kurr Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Does anybody know whether Lockon runs stable enough to host 20 player missions over a 100Mbit LAN? I have a small machine which I will use as dedicated server, with the following specs: AMD Athlon XP 1700+ 768MB Ram Onboard VGA It can run Lockon (limited to 5 FPS), I've already used it for some missions for our team, with up to 6 players online, running non-stop for 48 hours. I need to know this so I can plan the missions for the Lowland Tiger Meet 2008. If this machine doesn't support this many players, I need to put up another server, so I have 10 players on each.

GGTharos Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Your CPU may be a tad underspected ... it really depends on how many AI units you're going to have. Try it and see! The onboard vid card might not be able to hack it though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Joe Kurr Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 Most missions will primarily be human versus human (10v10), with the occasional AAA and SAM site, some cars and tanks driving around, and maybe a ship or two. Given the number of clients, there won't be any need for AI aircraft. Dutch Flanker Display Team | LLTM 2010 Tiger Spirit Award

S77th-GOYA Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 on board video card wont work at all i tried on a friends computer. lockon is unplayable not only because of lag but the textures dont show up and there are lines everywhere. I've seen two different systems with onboard video attempt LockOn. One worked and one didn't.
graywo1fg Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 ok.. i guess it could but my experience with onboard video has been crap like "intel accelerated video" stuff like that and didnt work for me. :P others might work :) Voice of Jester AI Death From Above =DFA= Squadron Discord - https://discord.gg/deathfromabove http://www.twitch.tv/graywo1f https://www.youtube.com/user/Lonewo1fg
Joe Kurr Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 This one does run Lockon, I've already used it to host a 6 player mission during last year's Flightsim Weekend, when it ran a single mission for 48 hours on end without any problems. My only concern is if it will still run without lag when 20 people are connected. Dutch Flanker Display Team | LLTM 2010 Tiger Spirit Award
