Dedicated server, option to share liveries

[LCL_Babar_fr]

Hi,

Sorry if that was discussed somewhere else. This forum is significant, and it's hard to find everything.

I host a dedicated server for my squadron. We have some liveries, and keeping the users updated is a challenge.

Does E.D. plan to include on the dedicated server a place to drop liveries and sync clients during connection?

AFAIK no, it's not a planned feature.
Best things that you can do is just place a .zip in a website, keep the same link, stick it in your squadron channel, and drop a message on new release. Hope the people will update the liveries. nothing else you can do on that.

Please also note that liveries can be very demanding in terms of space, so it's quite possible that client that join without liveries will start to download everything etc..... leaving less bandwidth to manage the real need, to run netcode.
Honestly I don't believe it's a great idea "embed" this feature in dedicated server, it will be more usueful have something integrated with launcher and DCS users files, like arma or other games with steam. where you can subscribe a specific content and will be automaticaly updated if required by launcher, and not by the game server.
