=4c= Squad supends dedicated server operation in mid June

[4c Hajduk Veljko]

To Flaming Cliffs and DCS on-line playing community

 

This announcement is to inform you that =4c= will soon suspend running of our dedicated server.

 

=4c= dedicated server has been in operation for almost three years. During that time a countless number of hours were spent by various =4c= members working on hardware and software aspects of maintaining the server.

 

I would like to recognize the following =4c= members and for their contribution to this project:

 

=4c= Sandman for spending countless hours in maintaining the server, creating custom LUA scripts and chasing the bad guys who unsuccessfully worked so hard to ruin our fun.

 

=4c= Herros for his contribution in making the statistics operational. Heros was also involved with working on general hardware/software issues of the server.

 

=4c= Ghostface for creating high quality missions which include multiple level of triggers and very professional looking debriefs, both in Serbian and English language.

 

=4c= Dolphin for creating the NUCLEUS series of semi-dynamic , large scale multiplayer missions. NUCLEUS pushed the Flaming Cliffs to the limits by exploring game Artificial Intelligence as well as involving highly organized community Squadrons.

 

=4c= Grom for creating multiplayer missions.

 

I would also like to thank current and former =4c= Members, for their financial and as well as labor contribution to this project.

 

Special thanks to 104th Moa for making the =4c= statistics operational and available.

 

Also, special thanks to everybody who played on our server and made it enjoyable for all of us.

=4c= Virtual Squadron was founded back in 1999. We are as strong as we’ve ever been. We will continue flying DCS/FC series aircraft. And we are in preliminary discussions on how to restart hosting dedicated server sometime later this year.

 

Regards,

Bad news! Can we (=238.lbae=) somehow help?

[104th_Crunch]

The 4C are a great bunch of smart, dedicated and honorable guys. I am sure soon enough you will have a server back up.

 

Nucleus had especially great missions, and I had lots of fun in those. Learned a lot. Thanks to 4C for everything they have done for the FC/DCS community.

[Frostie]

Thank you 4C for providing your server with some great missions and people. Hopefully you get it all back up and running again in the near future.

Cheers for the fun. :thumbup:

[PoleCat]

Thank you 4C for your contribution to the community, great job! Hope to see your server live once again as soon as possible.

[FLANKERATOR]

Thank you 4c...it's just too bad that this happens when so many good things about MP are expected to happen in the near future.

[RIPTIDE]

You'll be sorely missed :(. S!

[GGTharos]

That's too bad. What happened?

[Cali]

Sad news, your server was the server to fly in! I stopped flying after the hacker screwed up servers. You guys had the best server in FC2! Looking forward to you guys getting back up and running.

[104th_Maverick]

V sad news!

 

=4c= have kept the MP community alive and kicking for the past year or so. The amount of work these guys have put into delivering a platform for people to come together on FC2 is incredible!

 

As a 'small' token of respect for this I will be asking all 104th members to fly in the =4c= server as much as possbile for it's last few weeks in this incarnation.

 

I would also like to kindly suggest setting up some sort of unofficial event for the servers last weekend.

 

Nothing to serious.... just an organized fly in to get as many people from all over the FC2 community old and new into the =4c= server for one last showdown until we get our friends back!

Counting that you guys will be back... Thanks for the years of hosting

[FlankerFan2012]

Yes, thank you for hosting =4c=! You guys did a superb job!

[Vekkinho]

Thanks guys, you did a great job during those years and I really hope I'll be visiting Your server again for more fun with upcoming DCS:MiG-21bis.

 

I would really like to know what made you go down? It's quite surprising decision!

[4c Hajduk Veljko]

I would really like to know what made you go down? It's quite surprising decision!

 

Thanks Vekkinho and thanks everybody else for your kind words about our effort to keep the server running.

 

One of the biggest reasons for suspending our dedicated server operation is a fact that it is just difficult to keep it running. It requires a significant financial resources as well as constant attention. Also our video card/VNC combination refused to run BS 2 and DCS World. To upgrade, we would have to buy a video card, send it to Germany, have it installed (for a small fee), hoping that it would work ...

 

We at =4c= Virtual Squadron prefer jet aircraft. Therefore, we are eagerly awaiting for MiG-21 module as well as hoping that Eagle Dynamics will eventually come up with a fast multipurpose jet. There is FC 3.0 coming as well. When all of that settles down, and we figure out the proper software and hardware, I am sure we will again look at the option of hosting Dedicate Server.

 

Of course, a dedicated server application from Eagle Dynamics is highly desirable too.

Thank you all 4c squadron. we'll miss :(
