71st_AH_Mastiff Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 your server is having issues, or should I say the missions, are they supposed to be expert or is it a normal no engine management? I ask because I had manual water or rad working on the 1110, but had no control for the prop or RPMs. also the icons are on, or visual aids, and there was weird starting issues.
Menacing_Ferrets Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) The settings for the server are custom. Auto RPM and Radiator are on. Icons are on (usually). These can both be set to off using in game controls. Unless testing I fly full switch all the time. As far as the engine RPM in the 110 it's not just the one control to turn manual on. There's the Auto rpm on/off and auto pitch on/off and they have to be switched in that order. It's terribly confusing. As is the multiple different controls you have for radiators. Some are axes and some are buttons, it's just a mish mash. The thought is to give beginners a place that is a step between normal and expert. So no bombing aids/ no hud/ engines are not warmed up on start/ i make ya taxi/ there is wind and weather/ all torque and gyro effects are full real. As I add more nav icons to the maps I will be removing icons. I've been working hard to make sure the briefing map allows even beginner pilots to find something to do even when I do have icons off. What starting issues where you having, you mean with the engines? That's due to the barometric pressure that I set and the fact that engines are not warmed up. It's a pain, but talk about realistic! Most of the single engine planes will start no problem first time, but if you zero your throttle right after starting they may die on ya! The twin engine planes take a little more work. I know the Moscow mission I have running the settings absolutely effect the engines on start up. Most of the others are pretty easy in that respect. Our missions are set up so squads can run coop style sorties and complete objectives. Individuals can also hold their own here. It's not a very populated server and I write the mission with that in mind. There's lots to do in each mission and they auto-rotate on mission completion. I hope that answers your questions. Server is east coast US, and I can usually be found tooling about after 2000hrs most nights. I love company and I think we've got some unique gameplay to offer. Hope to see ya on sometime! all are welcome. Edited May 12, 2016 by Menacing_Ferrets 1
Menacing_Ferrets Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 My thought and direction has always been to turn object icons off for good, and I am very close to doing this. Unfortunately my squad's participation has dwindled drastically and the settings were attenuated to accommodate getting our members up to speed while the veterans could still fly full switch. I will never turn Nav icons off because that kills the briefing map symbols and without those, the missions would make no sense. Now if there was a briefing map pre-flight where I could indicate target areas but then in flight those symbols were not present, I'd be fine with that too. I use the nav icons as a visual briefing as I find it is very rare for most players to read a long detailed briefing and then there's the language divide to consider. as always thoughts comments concerns are always welcome 1
Urra Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Always wanted to spend more time on your server, but with limited time during the week I end up spending it in the mission editor.... Hope its still around in the next few months. Agree that nobody reads the description text, me included.
Menacing_Ferrets Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Me either Well, I suppose I do when I wander around aimlessly for a while. Yeah dude, no plans on shutting server down. You are welcome anytime. I know how the time crunch thing goes, too many fun projects to do, but only enough time for the crappy ones (aka RL) <S>
Menacing_Ferrets Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Server is down and hardware being upgraded. I've also got to add the current plane set to the missions... Be back in a day, or two tops. Thank you for your patience
Menacing_Ferrets Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Well we are back up! I am going through the missions and adding new planes, and fixing logic errors. If you run into something funky let me know... otherwise i'll be working behind the scenes. For now the server is up and running. Thanks for your patience and enjoy.

beepee Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 >S < Ogg. It is great to see you guys on the server. We usually come out on the losing side against you, but it is always a good scrap and lots of fun. We switch sides every month so we will be flying Luftwaffles all of January.
