Firehouse Stress Test, 1900 zulu- Dec 30th

[ENO]

Eh guys... Last stress test of 2013?

 

Do et!

 

I'm going to run the same mission we ran during the last test however I have added some A2A slots in the southern region. Please don't go stomping on the good folks running the ground attack portion unless they have some cover. Again, this isn't to establish yourself as air combat aces.

 

I have increased the number of ground forces around Maykop and ground commander positions remain as they were before. Ground commanders- get red and blue forces into Maykop city to duke it out. I have added KA50 slots near Maykop to add to the fray.

 

CA is a late bloomer but if we keep the heat on it hopefully rollout of 1.5 will be smooth.

 

I have 4 ship groups closing on one another on the coast to see how that plays out. It's VERY one sided- but there will be plenty of missiles in the air.

 

A number of target areas I had intended to be in play originally were not visible on the map as intended and as a result some folks were left a little dry- no longer.

 

I have added some additional radar emitting targets for the SU25Ts...

 

I have added a few additional (large) ship targets for hueys to bleat at as well as brought some ground targets closer to Novo for the Ka50s.

 

 

The mission will reload every 3 hours.

 

 

Let's give the boys something to do when they get back after the holidays!

i should be on later, missed the last one, important issues came up.

[SyntaxError]

Sounds good! :gun_rifle:

[Watari]

I have a real good performance on your server last days, even with over 10 clients.:thumbup:

[ENO]

Great to hear Watari... now let's see what happens with 20+

 

 

Good start so far- 6 guys in there and Raven's taken a red A2A slot...

[SkateZilla]

We need an ENO Twitch channel..

[ENO]

Hmmmmm never thought of that...

 

 

Couple A2A slots... Custer stepped into a blue A2A to go angle and dangle with Raven- Almost a dozen folks in there now.

 

Need a blue GC though... Red is in Maykop unopposed.

[SkateZilla]

Im enjoying the rough Play By Play regardless, Only module I have setup in 1.2.7 is A-10C, everything else is basic Axes setup at the moment, I might have setup KA-50, but I dont wanna join and press fire and nothing happens.

[ENO]

It's actually been pretty busy in there- guys are A2A... just had a friendly kill which is inevitable given that the platforms are very similar... RAven took it like a champ though ;)

 

We're up to 1meg per second per person... which is taxing- HUGE tax from the GC role and all the AI in there moving around right now. That hurts and I'll be drumming that down during the first break so there is still some combat but fewer units that respawn at the start.

 

Oh, and I did have to politely ask someone to leave as his ping was up around 400...

 

If you notice your ping is around 300 with this many people in there it can really hamper the server so if you can step out that'd be appreciated. If I see one that is high, I will be polite about it.

[ENO]

 

 

GC activity dropped and so too did the bandwidth requirement. This is about 4300 seconds (71 minutes) in. Weird spikes on the bandwidth side...

[SimFreak]

3-4 UH-1 attacking boats in harbor sure made a mess of performance. Lovely sight though...

[SimFreak]

Oh and would love to have a Pony slot...

[SkateZilla]

I wonder if the Clients see the same amount of bandwidth usage.

[ENO]

SimFreak... I left them out on purpose because of the guns issue.

 

I suppose I could start them empty of gun ammo and restrict availability of that ammo type at their airfield... ?

 

That could work...

 

 

I wonder if the Clients see the same amount of bandwidth usage.

 

 

They'll likely see that single 50kb-1mb/s on their end on the download side to deal with information coming out from the server. I get minimal information back from them on the server side.

[ENO]

First Crash just happened.

Damn and I just got my weapon profiles set :(

[ENO]

Well the track is 150mb of goodness. Went almost the full 4 hours.

 

It's back up now.

[Oesau]

I've posted a potential bug over in the beta forum - but thought it worth posting here just in case anyone else online during the test noticed this http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1959375#post1959375

3-4 UH-1 attacking boats in harbor sure made a mess of performance. Lovely sight though...

 

Thoroughly enjoyed that but boy those little speedboats pack a punch

 

Cheers Eno will try to pop on more regularly now I know ping is not an issue:)

[ENO]

Glad to hear it cibit!

 

Server is down ow from the test. 1 solid crash report... Every little bit helps!
