MackTheKnight Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Hi Folks, I'm thinking of setting up a small server in the next month or two, for friends and the DCS community in general, to enjoy. I'm switching to a new DSL provider that does not do any type of network throttling. With my current provider I've discovered that they feel the need to throttle my connection if more than two people try to connect to my blackshark server and download a map. I suspect DCS is using some sort of p2p protocol for the map transfer. (And no, I'm not doing any of that in the background which would cause the throttling) Anyways, my real question is this: I'm not a map maker. I have no time to get into doing this since I'm working most of the time, and the time I do have off I prefer to spend flying instead of making maps. So I was wondering if there's a community map pack available that I could host on my server for 4-8 player co-op rounds. Of course I'd be happy to credit the map makers for their work. This is the only thing stopping me from hosting a server (other than my connection, which is changing soon), as I fear getting flak from a map maker for hosting "their maps" on "my server". I don't want to make bad friends with any of the DCS community. You guys are all stand-up guys, so I want to do this without ticking anyone off! Regards, Mack
Kurtz Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Try Dragons Mission pack for starters. Link- http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=43361 There was a lot of content around pryor to the patch, but not all is compatable with v101 due to a trigger change in the update.
