Sleem Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 There seem to have been quite alot of recent posts about people trying to get into multiplayer and not being sure how to do it. Also people seem to have difficulty getting organised to all play a mission at the same time. A group I joined a while back use a Skype channel with everyone in the same group chat to allow people to arrange sessions etc at short notice. So I'm considering stealing this idea from them and running a dedicated Skype group chat just for this and DCS A10 (thanks to Folk for the idea) What do people think? Is this worthwhile? It would mean any interested people requesting friendship from my server. I've set up a Skype account called goingugly to try this out. Comments / friend requests welcome! :)
HiJack Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 As you said, so many things have been tried. I don't use skype so it ends there for me I think ;) Each server usually have a TS3 server to use when playing, I'm using that when I want to talk and play. But its worth a try ;)
Krebs20 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=75353 I setup a teamspeak 3 server some time ago but it goes largely unused. If you want to use it go ahead. I won't renew it come the end of November. Unless you can get people to start using it. It's not used by more then 3 people at the moment. Feel free to use it.

hendo97 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I think its a great idea I don't have much fun flying without talking to someone.

Sleem Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Thanks for comments so far. I already run a TS server as well as an A10 server. The point of the Skype channel is that if a critical mass of people were to start using it, one could type an instant message asking for others to join up to play a session and all meet online at short notice. My main problem with organised MP is I have trouble arranging anything in advance! Perhaps I'm in the minority. ;)

112th_Rossi Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I'm up for an organised game. I'd like to play a complete co-op mission at some point.
Guest Fury_007 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 As of right now, I'm available all day this Sunday 8/21 and most of the day Monday 8/22. EST, USA. I want to fly a coop mission. I have ts and Skype. Anyone available during those days?

Gannon Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I jumped on Krebs TS server last night and was by myself. I'm just picking the game up and would like to get some coops in soon. Not available tonight, but might be tomorrow if anybody wants to set something up. EST here, so probably 7pm-10pm ish. VFA-25 Fist Of The Fleet [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Joint Task Force 1 | Discord

Sleem Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 It continues to run on my server but there's only a few members of it currently. Hopefully more will gradually join and it will become more useful. I'm also looking at FalconBMS and running a server for that if possible. The dynamic campaign and multiple roles have enticed me in :)
Fakum Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 hows this comming along? I dont have skype in my gaming rig,, I dont even use it. Im trying to see if there is any activity on anyones server say from 1800 to say 2100 but on and EST schedule Windows 10 Pro - 64 Bit / ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming / AMD 7800X3D / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 64GB DDR5 6000 Ram / SSD M.2 SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB / MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM Liquid X 24G / SteelSeries Arctis 7 Headset /LG-Ultragear 38" IPS LED Ultrawide HD Monitor (3840 x 1600) / Track IR4 / Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals / Virpil HOTAS VPC Constellation ALPHA-R & VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle
Sleem Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 At the moment there are nine people in the group, from varying timezones. Anyone can join if they want. I must admit I've lost a little interest in A10 recently while trying to relearn FalconBMS and get ready for another baby!
