Got to ask, what is your impressions of my server last night? I don’t mean the mission itself that could do with some tweaking, but the feel in general.
I think Red had a looooong loading time (as do I when I start the mission), but I didn’t have any freezes that I can remember, and I didn’t notice any loss of framerate (but I didn’t measure it).
I do have two strange things when hosting. The first is that my server doesn’t show up in the list for some reason, but as we saw, joining by IP works. The second is that I choose what mission I want to host before starting the server, but it always starts with a different one and I have to change mission the first thing I do. Maybe it’s something in the mission selections when hosting that I’m missing.
Hi Mikke,
It ran smoothly for me. The long loading time seems to be an issue in the Open Beta that they are looking to fix for the stable release, it’s happening on whatever server we join - we ended up giving up trying to join the 104th later on that night because of it.
The reason I disappeared was that Windows decided to run an update and I couldn’t get any screens back. My monitor and VR went off, so I had no idea what was happening and thought I might have fried my graphics card or something.
You should check whether you have make server public box ticked when you set up the server, this is what allows it to show in the list
Yip… loading times are an issue at the moment… as for your server Mikke, everything ran smoothly for me… it’s great to have someone else that can host different missions so that we don’t get stuck in a rut so to speak, also means that you don’t know where targets are and can get some surprises along the way. ( that only the mission builder knows )… as they say variety is the spice of life
So far we have 5 Harrier pilots at the moment, and 1 Viggen also 2 a10 pilots ( although I’m very rusty in it)
as far as modern jets go… with some also having Sabres and Migs would be good to get some good strike missions going
I would also like a dawn or dusk mission for the Harrier pilots and the Viggen flying through valleys to get to target which would be just lit up at dawn or dusk for the attack
I hosted again last night with a somewhat edited mission, I didn’t notice any real difference in how it ran, but there was a bit more units on the map, though I doubt it was enough to make a big difference.
The mission still needs some tweaking before I’m happy with it, but it’s a start at least.
