AU-NZ SCU Server - VR optimised server COOP missions only

[SCU_Server]

My server formally known as ASCU has now been unlocked and renamed AU-NZ SCU - VR Optimised COOP Missions Only

 

This server runs a lot of Volkers missions, these are Player vs AI missions over various maps and seasons, the mission objective is the same on every map just the time, weather, season and location of objectives change between maps, this server has been optimised for full VR game play as my gaming mates all use VR in this server, we have decided to open it and see if others want to join us, its mostly going to be populated by us AEST evenings as we are all NZ or AU based.

 

Server Notes

 

Server has slots for 14 players at the moment

 

Missions rotate every 3 hrs, the AI will carry on with its objectives (I think) when the mission starts, you could join halfway through with some of your assets gone.

 

All flights are against ground targets objectives protected by AI flights and there are AI combat patrols around.

 

Icons Off, but your plane icon on the map can be switch on or off
 

Hud is on
 

Engine management set to auto at the start of the map, you can choose to switch it to manual if you want to use engine management, your choice.

 

Single Engine planes require engine start, multi-engine planes are already running. (this was done for faster times in the air for bombing runs and para drops)

 

Cockpit bounds are off for VR

 

There is no player vs player fights at all, this sever has been set up around how we play which is wanting a fun and engaging WW2 sim to play against the AI just like the original IL2 was for us, if you want full real and player vs player this server is not for you.

 

Discord channel is here https://discord.gg/JwRNAer    We are always on Discord, look for Hotdognz, (me) Yellow, Mazz, Jono and Loose, we are a friendly bunch of older games who have played games together fr well on 20 years, you really need to be on Discord to enjoy this server flying with us - please come and join us in the Flightsim - IL2 BOS channel . 

 

The server runs a mix of missions flying either German or Russian plane sets, all planes are available at 2 airfields

 

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Volker who supplied me the missions had these missions set up so his crew always flew as German, I have re-worked some of his missions so we could also fly for the Russians, due to my lack of editing skills the Russian missions are a bit off a screw up as in you still fly for the Germans but in Russian planes and the Russian AI fly German planes, it works for us, think of it as a alternate reality sort of

 

Also the Russian flying missions are missing the mission briefing rules for that mission so it can be confusing what you have to do, below is the context of each mission and its goals. This is the same for every mission as I posted about above.

 

Main Mission Notes (Applies to 60% of the mission in rotation)

 

To win one mission you must collect 4 points and the Ai's 3.

In order to get this points you have to destroy targets over the boarder (red line across the map). There is no limit for the number of planes or mods that you can use, the AI will fly similar missions against you.

 

There are 2 airfields, 2 warehouses and 1 drop zone for each team on either side of the map, all human players start on the LH side of the map and AI's on the RH side of the map. There are also 1 group of tanks, one group of cars and a train as targets. Airfields have parked aircraft's which can be destroyed, and if all are destroyed then the AF goes in to "repair" mode for 20 minutes while it gives 1 point once to the team that attacked it.

 

Warehouses are industrial complexes marked as Red on both sides of the map, once sufficient part of them is destroyed they will give 1 point to their attackers, you only need to attack the ones on the RH side of the map and can defend the ones on the LH side from AI attackers.

 

Drop zones are marked with smoke (Blue and Red big circles). Human playewrs must do at least 3 drops of 12 paratroopers in the Blue circle for successful attack, Ai's will have to do 3 drops of supplies to get 1 point for their team in the Red circle.

 

Tank and car groups travel along the street marked with arrows over the border, for tanks it is a Red rhombus and for cars is a Red rectangle. Destroying a group gives 1 point.  A train marked as Red Icon is moving along the line marked on the map and in order to get 1 point you must destroy 3 trains

 

When a team wins a new mission will load.

 

 

Hope that helps explain things.

Anyhow that's enough come join us if your looking for a COOP server for the AU/NZ evenings, server is up 24/7

Awesome!  Looking forward to trying out your server.

Hi Toxin

 

I think you may have popped on last night as Mazz said 2 others was on and mentioned the name Toxin, I have server msgs off which means chat is off so couldn't see who was on, last nights mission was flying VVS and was one with the missing mission description so would have been confusing.

 

Make sure you join us on Discord before joining and say hello as you will defiantly survive longer flying with a wing-man as the AI fly in groups of 4-8 and are on hard settings, hopefully catch you on with us soon.

 

Cheers Hotdognz

Sweet. just saw this - have just come back to BOS (been DCS'ing). Also just joined your discord channel as well. I tend to fly bombers or ground attack most of the time. Will look for the server.

Great, see you on Discord, please make sure you understand how the server is setup so you dont expect more than it is, we play for fun, have a great laugh, be prepared for some chit chat at some time too as we all know each other very well and can sling a bit of crap at each other on the way to targets

[Pharoah]

all good mate. I've joined the discord channel but i don't see any posts. I posted something and its gone blank. Weird. Anyway, I'm more a PVE person myself. I don't use VR, just TIR+HOTAS+Pedals which works fine. The setup looks pretty good from my perspective although I try to use complex engine mgmt whenever i can (helps when flying WoL, TAW, etc). i'm assuming you use the discord voice channels or just text?

[SCU_Server]

We Discord for voice, as its been setup for the SCU clan you wont see any channels yet until you get permission to see them, on the server no one will type to you as we dont use in game chat and as were in VR its unpractical for us anyway

 

You can switch engine management to manual by using the key to switch it over using the top 3 keys listed under engine controls in the IL2 key-mapping area, once you do this it will stay on your chosen preset for the duration of the server mission.

ah ok cool. Yeah I saw the server when i first logged on but couldn't play (had to put the kids to bed). When i returned it had disappeared, then I jumped on the Aust Ded server for a bit. Sooo nice to see green pings in the server listing!!

Ah yeh I had the first server crash ever last night , its going to be up all weekend, you most defiantly want to be on Discord (make sure its working for you)  if you want to be part of our group flights, I had a couple of new guys on but as they wasnt on Discord we didn't chat to them, my mates should be on and off all weekend as the weather in NZ is pretty shitty this weekend and cold also.

[SCU_Server]

Server will be locked for some mission testing for the next couple of days, if you want to join us you will need to come on our Discord channel for the password.

Had quite a few people join the server over the last few weeks and seeing some regulars coming back, if you do play on my server Discord is going to be a big help as most of the guys are in VR so if you type a msg they cant reply, also some of the mission txt is broken so it doesn't give a mission description which can make it hard to figure out whats what. I havn't been able to fix this in the mission editor ATM, so use Discord guys at least we can tell you what to do, or read the top post

 

Discord and then join the Flightsims IL2 channel

Thanks for keeping this server up - coop vs AI in VR has been a blast.  We're not terribly competitive so I'm glad servers like this are around.

 

Loaded in last night and there's no briefing text.  Picked the 'blue' german airfield and assumed that red targets on the objective map were the bad guys - turns out one of the factories marked red was actually friendly and I got a warning about bombing it?

 

Defended against a Soviet raid on the northern airfield and that was a blast, one of my high moments so far in the game.

 

You mention being able to see your plane's icon on the map - but it looks like the map is disabled in flight?  We ended up wandering a lot and trying to memorize landmarks before flight.

 

What are the big red/blue circles with dashes through them?

 

VR cockpit limits - boy o boy do we hate this feature.  Makes me nauseous (especially in tiny 109 cockpit) and in the context of a coop mission we're certainly not trying to cheat by sticking our heads out of the canopies

 

Again, thanks a lot.

[OrLoK]

Ill pop in if my pings good enough!

[[CPT]CptJackSparrow]

We played on it this evening. We rather enjoyed the laid back co-op style. We'll use it again for sure.

Hi MoitoVB

 

Missions have been reloaded with no cockpit limits.

 

The server mission rules are as below, the reason they don't show up in the briefing is it broke when I edited the mission

 

Server type rules.

 

To win one mission you must collect 4 points and the AIs 3.

In order to get this points you have to destroy targets over the boarder (red line across the map). There is no limit for the number of planes or mods that you can use.

 

There are 2 airfields, 2 warehouses and 1 drop zone for each team on either side of the map, all human players start on the LH side of the map and AI's on the RH side of the map. There are also 1 group of tanks, one group of cars and a train as targets. Airfields have parked aircraft's which can be destroyed, and if all are destroyed then the AF goes in to "repair" mode for 20 minutes while it gives 1 point once to the team that attacked it.

 

Warehouses are industrial complexes marked as Red on both sides of the map, once sufficient part of them is destroyed they will give 1 point to their attackers.

 

Drop zones are marked with smoke (Blue and Red big circles). Human playewrs must do at least 3 drops of 12 paratroopers for successful attack, Ai's will have to do 3 drops of supplies to get 1 point for their team.

 

Tank and car groups travel along the street marked with arrows over the border, for tanks it is a Red rhombus and for cars is a Red rectangle. Destroying a group gives 1 point.  A train marked as Red Icon is moving along the line marked on the map and in order to get 1 point you must destroy 3 trains

 

When a team wins a new mission will load.

 

 

A side not with the sever: most of the missions were you flying for the German side against Russian AI, I have hacked a few of the missions so you can fly Russian AC against German AI, how ever it still thinks your flying for the German side with Russian AC, i tried to convert all sides to the correct country but it kept breaking the mission so I just swapped planes around, it works and gives the server a mix of missions. You can only fly human vs AI on most missions on the server.

 

Hope that helps explain things.

 

Cheers Stephen

My server is up and running again, the missions on the server are COOP only and is only against the AI, server has been configured to suit VR pilots, no human opponents, big thanks to KG200_Volker for his missions.

 

Some of the missions have the mission briefing missing due to the editor not saving the mission correctly so use the below information for missions missing a discription (See top post for more details)

Me and a buddy jumped on this server last night and got served by a single Yak!! Although I got taken out by my mates detached wing hitting my prop after he was shot down by the Yak while I was chasing him.

 

We`ll probably jump on again tomorrow, as the aiming assist on the coconut normal server has put us off going in there as much.
