Trying to get a grasp on Multiplayer

[deleted@31403]

I come from a squad of active 20 flyers in IL2. I am trying to get a grasp of multiplayer to explain to squad. I see what it is now and know it is in beta. All I can do now is join a server that is up. It seems I cant have my mission and put up my server right now. I saw in the features that classic coop will be here. I know about the unlocks. I know about mission editor will be release after the release of BOS. Coming from IL2 style of multiplayer which fit well for a large scale squad, what will BOS look like in the miltiplayer side? Would it work for a large squad that loves to play against other squads? Can anyone give me a clear picture of what Mutiplayer will look like with what the devs have disclosed? Will it be like ROF which I do not know what it is like but some in squad are flying ROF?

 

Thanks,

Salute

There is a dedicated server you can use to host your own games, but it is currently having the last bugs shaken out before being released to the public. (Syndicate runs on the current private beta dedicated server, as do the official servers.) As the server technology is an evolution of the Rise of Flight engine you could look into that sim for some idea of how multiplayer will evolve from here. 

 

You could also get some insight into how to administer MP servers and create missions from the RoF manual, mission editing manual, and mission editing tutorials available here: http://riseofflight.com/en/community/usefulmaterials
