Yes. Looks like after the latest game update, the rcon has been acting up.

Same for Blue Temps.

Dont open after succesfull Transport Landing

I have been dipping my toes in the multiplayer aspect lately and really like this server.  Its a bit lonely at times, and by that I mean I rarely see anyone unless I am being shot down   Anyhoo, I have a question about map of the current situation at http://stats.virtualpilots.fi:8000/en

 

There have been some tutorial videos that point out how you can plan missions there with waypoint tools.  But I do not see that option - the flight mapping tool and point mapping tool icons are not there.  Have tried different browsers and settings but I just cant find it - am I seeing out dated info and this is no longer there or am I missing something?

 

TIA!

The current map implementation from before. The flight planning in it still under works by roccobarbi.

[ShampooX]

Question for Temuri:  During this QTR I've noticed that Russian Tank Spawns seem to get much more favorable position than German when it comes to their placement near roads.  It almost always seems that Red Tank Spawns near a CP are either right on a road or closer to a road than Blue.  Is this a thing?  I would imagine the generation of the tank spawns for each mission is random.   But can you share a little more about how they are placed?  Thanks for a great game.

Thanks,  now I can stop trying to figure out why its not working for me!

[Geo_91]

 what is that i'm banned to 2030 for using speed hack? 

[Amyel]

Beacuse speed hacks are not allowed here.

[KG200_Achilleus]

wtf is speed hack??

is this a server bug or hack was indeed??

Admins should report on forum things like that not only silent ban..

[LLv34_Untamo]

@Amyel @KG200_Achilles

Discussing THAT topic publicly on this forum is banned (as far as I'm aware) so...

 

Bans on the server are on between us and the recipient, not public.

 

@Player1234 PM me.

[Amyel]

@LLv34_Untamo

Understood!

And didn't try to discuss it but just to make smirky comment.

But yup, understood!

For the next campaign would it be possible for the transport missions to start cold from the ground behind the lines rather than air starts and have the possibility to return to refuel and reload rather than having to respawn each mission. Air starts are a bit "gamey" and do spoil the immersion somewhat for those of us who are bloody awful combat pilots but enjoy trash hauling.?

I agree. Together with the airspawns the special feeling fly away. And also some naughty guys like to attack the airspawns with altitude advantage. No AA in the sky ?

[LLv34_Untamo]

The point behind them being air starts is that the supply is coming "off map".

I get that but why not start them from the ground further back from the front for those of us who enjoying flying transports? At the end of the day if no-one flies transports the experten will have nothing to fly!

Start Transport as far as possible from the Front make sense because two things:

 

1. Makes it necessary to defend the transporters. A nice tactical aspect.

 

2. The airspawn is often close to a target. It’s an unnecessary “alert for free” in the air.

[LLv34_Temuri]

From next mission rotation, the temporary airfields should be enabled from mission start. However, they still need to be supplied before you can take off. This is a workaround for the current issue where the temporaries don't open after resupplying.

[LLv34_Untamo]

Putting the supply start on the ground, and even further away wouldn't make more people fly supply, I would say opposite is true. The supply airstart being close to enemy airfields is a bug on our part, it shouldn't be that close.

How about the option of air starts and/or ground starts for those who want them? Certainly when it comes to Normandy I don't want to be starting mid channel!

Hi Admin,

 

I have previously raised the issue of the self exploding Opel blitz ammo truck. However, I have now died on three separate occasions, owing to the  truck exploding seconds after I have spawned in.

 

Therefore, would it be possible to ensure that this IED is placed at least 50-100m away from the tank spawn, please? It is a little frustrating to be killed by something that continually just self explodes!

 

Regards

If any player are interested in doing level bombing, I am organizing people to do them once every 2 weeks. Here are some examples of some we have done. FInd us on the discord here - this isn't a squad. It's just a community event to take part in some fun. No strings attached, just don't be a dick.

I started a sqn. page on the stats site and several of my fellow sqn mates joined, only one is showing up on the sqn. page and it isn't me. I would figure if anyone would be on the page it would be the admin., but no. Plus the web site keeps changing my profile name to some numbered player. Need help.

 And yes we've flown through several map rotations.

I can't help but notice those who bother to do re-supply missions are under appreciated. If they succeed at re-supplying theirs is no reward, motivation to do them are therefore lacking. I'll do them in dire circumstances, but with their spawn point being so close to the enemy positions it isn't something I seek to do habitually. If they were set closer to where they would most likely have originated in RL, further to the rear, it would give the pilot more time to take a more circuitous route and perhaps ensure a better end for plane and pilot.

Which brings me to my next point, if I get shot down during a resupply mission, does it affect my stats? If so, it certainly is a lopsided endeavor.

Dear administrators! You have a great server!
But I have a problem - I did a good job, but when I returned to my base ...
Having received ammunition and fuel for my Tiger, I decided to complete the mission and ended up dead ...
What have I done wrong? Please explain. Or give a link please!

They do get points in stats site. Unfortunately, we have no control over what the game tells you on top of the screen after a sortie.

The stats site tracks separate "careers" for fighter, attacker, and bomber sorties. We're using the stats mod by @=FEW=Revolves, and I think supply flights fall under bomber sorties.

[SIA_Target]

Good to know.

Hi Otto- two things I've noticed:  1.) sometimes, right when you leave the mission it says you are dead, but then when you go back and check your stats afterwards, you are not charged with the death.  Sometimes, the opposite happens: you bail out of your tank and live only to find out later in the stats that you died.  I chalk it up to "shit happens."  2.) Often you will make a kill that you don't get credit for: either on the missions stats, or later on the final stats on the FVP website.  Too bad you got robbed on that sweet IL2 kill, thats not easy to do!!!

Thank you very much for your response!
This was my best trip!
Best memories !

Does not matter
 this is a great server and the best time spent here!
Thanks for the server!

It seems cheating is allowed on the server, or admin creates their own agenda.

 

Total war is a farse, rejuvinated AI and equipment is not spelled out of the server rules.

 

Either make the word change or expect the unexpected

 

I am not impressed

Umm... care to elaborate on that? What cheating? How is total war a farse? Rejuvenated AI and equipment?

Hello,

I posted this on discord but it quickly got buried in posts.

I am wondering if the Virtual Pilots server has an API to use to pull the information from the Current Mission Information tab on the stats.virtualpilots.fi website?

I did have a discord bot that would post in our discord channel with the current mission information. This is useful so you always know the % of the targets, the time left and what plane set you are on without having to load up the webpage or run commands in game. This bot was very hard to maintain as it was scraping the website and was using node and regex to pull the information.  And once anything changed on the page it would break.

The picture I have uploaded is what my bot did look like. I know the German flag is not correct to the period but I was just using what is in Discord. It was still a work in progress. And I did have others ask me for the bot as well but the regex way is just very hard to work with so this is why I am looking for an API. The bot would post every minute.

Hi. As I replied on discord, it shouldn't be a big task to blurt the situation to a JSON that we can publish on the stats site, like we do with the map situation.

Thanks LLv34_Untamo. I was not sure if you were making a suggestion or if you were someone who could assist with this JSON file. And it was hard to keep track in discord with all the chatter. If you can get the JSON in a place I can grab it that would be great and way better than this sloppy regex way. Let me know if you need anything from me to get this going. Once I have it working again I would like publish it on github so others can use it as well. 

 

Thanks

No promises when I'm actually going to be able to do it, as my time is very limited, but I'll try to get it done in the near future.
