ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

Well, been on ATAG for the first time tonight, managed to take off from Ramsgate with no problems, thought I'd take my old Hurri over to the Dover area where there seemed to be a bit of a 'flap on'..
I could hear over the RT that Hawkinge was getting a bit of a dusting as well but the party seemed to be over by the time I got there.. I could here the chaps getting stuck in but I was having wireless problems and wasn't sure if anyone could hear me squawking away..
As everyone was heading back down to the drome I did the same, ..
Landed alright, not even a bouncer, lol!
All in all, for a first time out it wasn't so bad, no jerries, no drama, didn't even get the old trousers singed.. Bung Ho chaps!!

Bloody good show, Trooper! Sorry I wasn't on flight duty tonight.

Smart to launch from Ramsgate -- it's usually pretty quiet there; Hawkinge/Lympne/Littlestone seem to get the brunt of it on a regular basis. Are you on Teamspeak3?

Saw in someone's sig there were 39 people in ATAG tonight so I went to join - but it didn't show up in my Client list (though 4 others did).

It was the first time I went MP since updating to the patch yesterday, if that might be a factor.

All the servers went down tonight. What you're seeing is the status-reporting widget for the ATAG server isn't updating properly because it can't connect to the server (since it's down).

Yes mate, had TS3 going, and could hear everyone no problem.. but when I was 'sending' over the net I couldn't hear myself in my headphones, not sure what the problem was, so was unsure if anyone could hear me..
I didn't want to keep butting in with my problems when everyone was trying to fight an air battle so I kept quiet, lol..
I will have to investigate further, will try and sort it..
Still, for me it was a good outing, not been online since my IL2 days so trying to catch up with the technology etc..

S!

Had a maiden flight on the server last night. Very nice server. Hard to find the locations if the RF set sound is too soft.

I don't get any voice feedback either with TS3; it must be the nature of the beast. I just do a "Radio check. Anyone copy?" and find I get immediate confirmation from the guys. In fact, with their responses back to me I learned I had to turn down my mic (through Win 7 Control Panel) to an acceptable level for all. I also quickly figured out the need to assign a joystick button for "Push to Talk" hotkey. When you get jumped by one or two 109's it's too hard searching for a key on the keyboard to bleat out "Help me!". LOL

lol.. yes mate, assigning a button on my joystick was one of the first things I did.. learnt that from IL2

can't be yelling for help, giving details of where I am, yanking the kite around and looking over my shoulder all at once whilst trying to find a bleedin button on the keyboard.. (yikes!!)..

Thankfully Hawker and Mitchell dispensed with keyboards in the cockpit altogether prior to the Battle of Britain........
