ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

[McFeckit]

Just Info for Server Admin if interested:

had 3 CTDs on ATAG last night and also found a bunch of Heinkels in K13 hanging vertical (nose down) at 11000 feet.

Hey Bliss,

I did some futher testing concerning the ghost-dots in the last weeks and set the mpdotrange = 30. Due to the fact, that planes get rendered by the game if a player is in a distance of 20km (as confirmed by narvy and easly observed with WPF planes) a longer dotrange might give the game time to refresh the positions, before the player is in the distance where the plane gets rendered.

I had seen no more ghost dots on our server since I set the dotrange to 30, but that might be just a coincidence and the testing time was not long enough.
Your sever is more active and tests results are easier/faster to get.

Maybe you can try this?

I am not sure about it but I have the feeling that somehting is not working well with the server right now.

I see no messages about bomber groups, actually there are hardly any messages from the server...

RDFs are not working yet, as far as know.

[ATAG_Bliss]

Looks like it didn't rotate right which = no bombers, or any objects for that matter.

All sorted now. Sorry fellas.

@SNAFU - interesting about the dots. Even if you set dotrange to 30, I believe the maximum setting in game is 25km though. I'll try it and report back.

Thanks.

Had another great night on the server tonight. Some good teamwork on Blue the last few nights I've been on.

Yesterday I flew for 2hrs 5min (the time before CTD due to the usual memory leak bug).

I must admit that thanks to your server, I feel much better about the game. Two hours smooth game without stutters makes the game enjoyable.

Talking about the dots however, my whole flying was devoted into intercepting incoming bomber formations and I did not intercept a single formation for two hours!!!

The worst moment was watching a Wellingtoin (BIIIIG bomber) formation of nine planes flying above me (distance xxxx - how can I judge in this game... ), following from behind while climbing in order to reach their altitude. Then, I moved my eyes away from the sky while checking my fuel gauges/ switching among fuel tanks ... and I completely lost sight of the bomber formation (9 big bombers)!

Then flew for 30mins circling around trying to find them again, without success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Of course I may be a noob and ignorant* but based on my 7+ years IL2FB in full real online flying, this is complete and utter XXXXX³\#~ **

I like that it is more difficult to trace airplanes, but this is not realistic.

~S~

* still debatable
** pls replace with the word of your preference, worthy of 2-3 weeks forum ban...

I had to feel it in the hard way yesterday, while flying the Spity, no single 109 for a longer time.......
