Dave317 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Got the day off today so i thought i would spend a few hours flying about online. Fired it up and there are only 4 servers, 1 game wasn't working, the other was city sweep which i have played to death and is getting a bit boring and the other 2 had no one playing. Is there another lobby (hyperlobby ?) that people are using and i haven't heard about?
joey45 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 try clan servers... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Distiler Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) DCS is not being played like il2 where people plays like 24/7 and servers run 365 days a year. DCS is being played in smaller doses. Even clans don't play it so much (in favour of il2 and lock on), it's not just public servers. It doesen't have that replayability factor of other sims (perhaps because you don't have more aeroplanes, and that means less "roles" and that means less mission variety). Also, being in Hypperlobby would definitelly help. But still it's the best simulation of an helicopter out there, it's just lacks a better "envelope". Truth to be told, it feels a bit barren, thou it will improve with time and updates.

Boulund Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 But still, it is really lovely when you find 4-6 people on a server and you get some good teamplay going. You don't need as much people in a helisim like this imo. Granted, you still have to time your play time with everyone elses, I've tried to go online at times it was just plain dead, noone playing but me - and that is a bit sad, but unfortunately the way it is.

wickedpenguin Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 For a little variety in missions, I started using the Mission Poll features available on certain servers (I believe the ones with the Servman mod). It works nicely to break up mission monotony. I mean, by now, how many of us have played the Convoy Hunting mission to death? The other day I tried the poll and found this mission where you start off at an airbase that's under fire by enemy artillery across a harbor. Talk about an "abbreviated startup checklist"! Another one started you off in a canyon where insurgents lined the cliffs. Just open up the chat window and type "/mizpoll". It'll give you options to vote on the available missions on the server.

JG14_Smil Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Hello Dave, If you are in the US, you won't find many on during prime time hours. I have my best luck and fun flying with the with the Russians and Europeans, who seem to fly until they pass out :) Voice comms at these times are very interesting and fun also. Makes me wonder why the whole world can't get along :) The US has given up on the flight sim genre, which would be long dead without the influx of sims from the eastern bloc.
Panzertard Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Midget-Tossers' a good bet. Edit: Passworded today........... Sorry, I'll hurry to wrap up with a new version - the one I just released was too bad to allow you guys see. ;) The mind is like a parachute.

Dave317 Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 I'm in the Uk. I would have thought a Sunday afternoon would be a little bit busier. I would like to join a clan but it's only every now and then i get enough spare time to fly so it's not really worth it. Maybe once we get the next install or 2 it will get a bit busier but that could be a very long way off.
evil85 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 maybe if ED would publish the 1.0.1patch for every nation there would be more players online.i wont play online till i get the germen 1.0.1patch.my clan will open our server only with the patch and some other german clans too. only ED can speed it up ;) so if some have the patch and the others not its not really possible to play online together imo [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://falcito.proboards.com/
