ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

Has the channel command map gone offline again? I really really enjoy playing on ATAG server 2 with the big map and the great missions.

I'd love to know what's happened to it.

With the netcode improvements in the latest patch, have you thought about allowing stock skins on the server?

Maybe have a test evening?

Cheers.

Would love to know that too.
Also whats teh status on refuel and rearm on ATAG?
Otherwise having a great time there. Would be even better if both maps would allow E4s and corrensponding Spits instead of only E1 and E3.

Any chance this post could of stayed in the main forum at least until its acknowledged its been spotted?

A post about "whiners" stays, but a post about online code is moved?

Go to the ATAG forums and you will see it has been discussed recently.

One map represents Operation Dynamo hence the early planeset. I love it to bits btw, great job on that map.

So - there were plenty of E-4s in service at the start of the BoF - well before Dunkirk.

JG 2, JG 51, JG 52, and JG 77 were equipped, at least partly, by Bf 109 E-4s during the BoF.

For example, a Bf 109 E-4 flown by Major Dr. Erich Mix from Stab III./JG 52 crash-landed at Roye, France on 21 May '40.

Good info. By the same token, 54 Squadron flying out of Hornchurch were very active at Dunkirk -- they were flying Rotol-equipped CSP Spitfire 1a's with 100 octane fuel which are not represented in this mission.

For example, Pilot Officer (later Air Commodore) Alan C. Deere of 54 Squadron was likewise shot down flying a Spitfire 1a (100 octane) with the Rotol Constant Speed Propeller on 22 May '40 and crash landed within walking distance of the beach and was evacuated by ship with the rest of the B.E.F.

In fact, ALL RAF fighters (Spitfires and Hurricanes - MK 1's) were on 100 octane fuel during the Dunkirk evacuation. Unfortunately, 1C has chosen not to provide the 2-speed DH-prop'd models with 100 octane so only the 87 octane pump gas variants are available for this mission.

The designer of this mission makes no claim that this is a 100% accurate simulation of Operation Dynamo, and had to make many tough decisions towards effecting the best gameplay -- which he has done in spades. TBH, no E4's is a small price to pay vs the spectre of facing Spits and Hurricanes with 12 lbs of boost WEP.

Yes I know, but the map represents the majority of the variants and it's just fun to fly de Havilland RAF fighters against the manual prop pitch LW fighters. E-4 is for kids and grannies

It also keeps ATAG members warm in the winter!
