Trooper117 Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 I was with EAF 19 Sqn back then... I loved taking part in the big online wars, flying with Swoop, Ming, Kristorf, Nitrous and others. Such great times indeed... 2
343KKT_Kintaro Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Please guys, on the above screenshot shared by Jaws2002, note the small size of the scroll bar in the area destined to the list of servers. Indeed, the number of servers at the time was humongously long. My favourite dogfight server, "Zeke vs Wildcat", is not visible in the list, you needed to scroll down to the "z". 1

I remember the term “Minglish” coined at SimHQ. (back when SimHQ was worth a damn) Edited January 26, 2023 by Gambit21 1

FuriousMeow Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 I stopped playing that series online when the "sound mod" hit, which was nothing more than hacking apart the game. It wasn't much before that became public and everyone began using it that you'd notice a small percentage of players planes were performing far beyond what they could. After the "sound mod" became public, you could never know what you were up against. That's when I threw in the towel for that series. 1 1

IckyATLAS Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Time for me to leave the DD topic. Message is clear. There will be something posted only when it will be ready. Basically this becomes an announcement. And for announcements there is no regularity and no timing. It comes when it comes. This approach I understand is to avoid any negative comments, but at the same time it kills all the positive ones and distances the devs from the community. It is a different approach to communicate with the community or may I say how not to communicate with the community. They are the boss, so be it. 5
CountZero Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 LOL so mods were bad because ppl could abuse it... we have mods here since Jason took over and alowed it... and nothing changed in MP because you cant play with mods on everywhere. So its not same like it was in il-2 46, here devs alow you what you can mod and what you can not mod, so even ppl who need reason on why they got shoot down online can not blame it on ah hes got a be using some mods. 1

Did you read my first reply about this subject? I already said that we have a "ModsON" mode, but that's not what Duko suggested. He suggested to open the whole thing to mods, so everyone and his tribe can follow his own version. As much as you cheer for HSFX and other mods flavors, you can't deny the fact that mods killed all the online wars, all the competitive play. Mods also broke many squads, because players started following different servers and a huge number of people gave it up completely.

Dagwoodyt Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Maybe takes considerable time to agree on the least damaging option ?

I got in multiplayer because of Hyperlobby, and all of my friends into flight sims joined. We used to go for coop missions. Hyperlobby did so much for the IL2 multiplayer community. When we moved on to newer sims without Hyperlobby, we all stopped flying multiplayer. 2

Feldgrun Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I've been flying this lately. It's a nice distraction from the absence of information about the future of this game. Edited January 27, 2023 by Feldgrun 3
Rei-sen Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I don't care much for the online, but mods are one of the things that makes IL-2 1946 great. Also, there's plenty of online action as well. Edited January 27, 2023 by Arthur-A

kestrel79 Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 Spits vs 109s, Zeke vs Wildcat. No wife, no kid yet. Ah those were the days Those Online Wars were so fun, I loved that you only got one life and couldn't spawn back in. I think one of them you could "save" downed pilots and rescue them by landing in a field next to their downed aircraft. It was fun flying those with the old squadron Vultures Row. 1

Also what happens when Hermann gets really really fat? Will he explode? Can I attach him to my Uber 109 and take out an airfield with one Hermann bomb? Anyway really excited - please take my money!!! 1
