Want to get back into MP flying and I'm a little rusty.

[PeterP]

Want to get back into MP flying (P-51D 1.1.2.1) after almost a year of absence and want to set up a Mission for a mate and me for tomorrow.

 

Some questions :

1. Is there a simple Idiot-proof TS-3 guide I can share with my mate.

2. who should act as a server, the one that has the better system or connection? - or the best of both?

3. Do you have a list of community driven TS channels I could use tomorrow?

 

Edit: whoever answers something useful according 1,2,3, will get my reputation-points! :)

Useful tips beyond what I asked will get also the reputation-points of my mate!

There is a community TS3 server ower at simhq ;)

[PeterP]

Thanks - So I tested it and I will use the TS-3 SimHQ server.

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3137414.html

so you can scratch #1 and #3 from my list.

 

what's about #2 ?

Edited May 12, 2012 by PeterP

[HiJack]

Not sure what you are asking for in #3 Peter ;) All different TS servers have different channel lists.

[PeterP]

:doh: off course I mean #2!

 

BTW: I have right now a server test running "P-51D Free flight test"

 

would be nice if someone can confirm that it shows up in the list - and maybe join for a second.

^^^^

For me it doesn't show in the list

[PeterP]

And now?

[Kuky]

hm, just to check... are we talking DCS World MP server? If yes, then still no

[Kuky]

By the way best have host who has best system and connection (upload bandwidth) but with 2 people only connection will be same (either can host), still better have host with better PC

[PeterP]

Yes DCS world 1.1.2.1.... "PeterP server test"

hmm... maybe connect via IP: 10.173.31.56

[Kuky]

still not in the list, did you enable port forwrding in your router... you have to forward port 10308 for both TCP and UDP (incomming and outgoing)

[PeterP]

I have No Router in between, all ports open.

 

Thanks anyway!

 

Restarting server now ...

[Kuky]

Sorry, I said router as I have modem/router, if you want to host, port forwarding is required to be set for any modem (or modem/router), anyone connecting to server doesn't need to port forward

[PeterP]

Thanks - will check again.

[PeterP]

Everything is fine at my side - but no luck to host....

 

Was able to host servers 1 year ago without problem.

Changed my ISP a half year ago - seems I have to look up what kind of contract I have signed....

 

I hope my mate is able to Host a server - joining is no problem for me.

[Kuky]

hm... could be silly question but are you picking INTERNET from the Server Type field ... default is LAN, so if you don't change it before you make a server no one will see your server in the MP list. Other than that, it's really only port forwarding that you need to enable (TCP/UDP port 10308 ) to be able to host.

 

Do you possibly have firewall enabled somewhere in software (windows) or modem settings... that could be blocking it also

[PeterP]

You must know me slightly now...;)

When I have a problem - I try as long as I know that there isn't something I can do about it.

 

And I double checked everything - It really seems that my ISP has forbidden me to create game-servers. I tried also with Portal without no luck also on the laptop. Things I could easily do one year ago (and I didn't changed my system in this period).

 

But Thanks again for your suggestions ... and now starts the F1-Q3... - Wishing Webber luck tomorrow.

[Kuky]

If your ISP is now allowing you to host that just blows. Seems you elimiated anything that could be on your end... wish you luck to sort it out if its your ISP

[BIGNEWY]

If you have your ports open Peter double check your software firewall

[PeterP]

..all quadruple checked! and doing once again....

Well, days like this make me thirsty!

[Panzertard]

So true. But for the heck of it, grab a beer and add 10309 TCP+UDP to the forwarding list to.

I've had that issue once, never know why 10309 was used back with BS 1.02 or something - but it was (used wireshark).

 

If all attempts fails - get wireshark, run a trace and I'll analyze it for you.
