Would like to put on a dynamic MP campaign

[TheHighwayman]

Is there a dynamic multiplayer campaign with regular sessions and stats tracking? I know it's been done before with 1946.

 

If one does not exist presently, I'd be interested in building one, setting up a server, and the OOBs, chains of command and so on. Then I could play an ultra serious session on a regular basis with stakes.

 

Pilots would lose their stats if they are killed or captured or crash too much.

 

I'm presently seeking facts and folks interested in networking to make this happen.

 

Formal missions would be flown weekly, with commanders on both sides giving orders that shape what happens next, both on the ground and in the air.

 

Any interest?

there is a group thats doing it in the EU timezone. orders of battle, missions and chain of command happen external to the game i think then they implement it in the weekend set of missions in the EU primetime

 

 

 

and yes very interestd in this style of gameplay. currently the limiting factor is timezones for me/us, as the game doesnt provide any native or inbuilt support for such things (god i wish it did) it requires a lot of work from a group with IT skills usually to pull it off and it usually only runs for limited times of the day etc.

There's a lot of interest in something like this. A Ghost Skies for IL2 BoX would be a great thing.

Problem is as stated above time zones.

Mark I./JG 54 down as an interested party-and I know of a certain bomber group that would probably be interested as well though I won't speak for them.

I didn't know that existed, Uwe. Now it will make for a good reference, thank you. 

 

I am in California, so I understand the time zone thing. 

 

I have some unique expertise in designing and writing campaigns for Kriegsspiel, which is an entirely different era (Napoleonic) and activity, but it has some carry over. There are ways we can accommodate a smaller number of participants. However, who knows, this might be rather large? 

 

I need to network with someone who has done this before. I need to know who to work with for server hosting and what those costs may be. I will need someone who can put together and maintain the map, although I can do that work myself if I learn how. I have some idea how to edit missions already, but my knowledge is still rudimentary. I can learn. 

 

Hopefully some more folks see this and share what they know and think. 

 

Thanks again!

here is the EU timezone effort i was reffering to. 

I would love to get in on this but where i am thats a 4am start usually. not likely with 2 young girls and a career.

at least West Coast US and East Coast AU are a bit closer!
Let me know if you need assistance with anything Mission editor related, Dserver or stats (Vaals stats package) i've got all that sort of stuff running on a dedi server currently.

 

I would be really interested in partnering and mirroring this sort of campaign in the AU timezone as well but i realistically don't have the know how or time to build a website and database for it from scratch

Coconuts server is arguably the most dynamic server.

[TheHighwayman]

Thank you. 

 

I think I need to put together a list of people who are serious about doing this with me and want to be part of the admin team. 

 

So, here's the deal. 

 

If you want in on this, email me at: sowkscamp@gmail.com

 

I will add you to my list and we will initiate a discussion of what concrete steps to take to get started. We need to start with outlining the vision and concept, then proceed into building a webpage and designing the campaign. 

 

Finally, we will have to acquire a server, choose who the command staffs for each side will be, and convince everyone that this is the experience they've been longing for. 

 

I don't know how long the process will take, but it should not take forever. Perhaps a couple months or so? 

 

Climb aboard, let me know what you want to bring to the table, and let's start.

I think a cheaper and more realistic option would be to share a server with a European server owner to get experience doing this. Working to resurrect Saturday Night Bomber night would be a good start.

I am already in the process of recreating Saturday Night Bomber Flights... More info in about two weeks (if all goes well).

[TheHighwayman]

Thank you and good luck! 

 

I have already started on a different project, but look forward to seeing your campaign!

Thank you very much in advance for doing this! I think many of us in my timezone really miss that event. Looking forward to it very much.

Just a bump to this:

I have started building a multiplayer campaign for my squad, and it will have blue vs red elements. I've also asked for a server key and expect to have something running soon. We may run some things by hand, but I have experience running kriegsspiel games, so the strategic side of things is second nature to me. It's all coming together. It'll be some work, but we will have something to announce soon.
