AI BOMBERS never see em maybe putting a few more bombers in at abit more frequency will help :) , i remember when game 1st was out and on atag server ther were like a bomber squadron of stuka divers totaling maybe 18 planes in one go why cant we have some of this ?

Just another 2p / 2c

The Reds generally make good use of the ATAG TS server, the other night there were about 25 Reds flying with 15 on TS. It is well worth using.

Comms discipline is important but is hard to enforce due to the voluntary nature of it all but if the main channel gets too 'chatty' its easy to suggest that guys planning a particular sortie move to a sub channel or, like 56RAF, to the channel provided for their Squad (we often have non 56'ers join us, its np) so that they can focus on their sortie.

That's not any kind of gripe, we've come to regard the main Allies channel as highly useful, sometimes a bit chatty but ok unless it gets overloaded but its no big deal to move channel.

Similarly if some people don't speak English (there don't seem to be many) they can move to a subchannel too which would help them avoid foreign cross-talk.

If there are a bunch of guys all doing different things then comms/TS will not be much value to them, better to work together and get the best out of it as often happens naturally on the Allies channels. I expect the Axis are the same.

Yep - That's why we have soo many channels. Colander had made some code that allowed you to move TS channels from within the in-game chat window so you wouldn't even have to alt+Tab out of game (if you're TS3 name was the same as in game) but we need the Coms menu to work correctly 1st.

New mission being tested on Server 2.

Upside down bombers in ATAG Server?
 

Hey fella's, what was up on ATAG Axis Vrs Allies yesterday. I was quietly minding my own business, warming up my trusty Hurricane and waiting for my 401 Sqn mates, when I saw a Spitfire slowly pass by standing up on its wing which was buried up to the fusilage. It plowed a nice furrow in the ground as it slide by and then proceeded out into the countryside (maybe the local farmers needed help) only to be followed by another with it's elevators and rudder submerged underground and driving backward. I had to move to get out of the way. Later, as we were putting a big hurt on a Staffle of Ju 88s, I swung around for second pass coming in low only to see the Ju 88 that I was now targetting, flying almost fully upside down and going backward. It was all kinda' like a weird dream, and before you suggest it, there were no recreational sustances involved on my end.

Like our buddy Bill Shatner would say "Is that weird, or what?

Otherwise, your server rocks!

Don't know, dnr. We've had a few queries over at the ATAG Forum about last night regarding some massive warping problems, including those from Russia (high pings) and Ottawa, Canada (low pings -- the ATAG Server location is Chicago). I happened to be on the Server myself last night at the same time these problems were occurring, but it was running fine for me other than a sudden massive slowdown in frame rates when I was in a furball against two 109's.

Did you notice if your pings were erratic at the time?

ATAG Server Ping
 

Yeh they were erratic. I live just across the pond in Southern Ontario (Kingston) and I normally get a ping as low as 49 and sometimes as high as 80 or 90, but on Sunday it jumped up to 240 similar to the ACG server in the UK. I also got bad framerates, noticed some warping of planes and ships and at one point got kicked out (could have been a Steam problem I suppose). Anyway, just a funny thing to see as I normally get good results.

Just finished tonight and it was a flawless one hour flight. All was fine and those pesky 109s didn't find me. Whew!!!

I like the upgrades and may check out the ATAG 2 server this week.

Cheers from the great white north.

401 Sqn, we fly virtually anywhere!

can you please put your servers up in hyperlobby?

thank you ;)
