That certainly simplifies fuel planning…

I’ll try to get the server back up today for more testing.. I was editing the AI loadouts last night and ran out of steam. I should be pretty close this morning..

Should we roll back? What is the last version that is unaffected?
this bug has been ongoing for a while now.. it didn’t affect persian gulf that much because there is no foliage at that scale on that map. The cities were burning like crazy as well but that is still a small order of magnitude fewer fires than when every single bush is on fire like that. There are reddit posts bringing it up even 3 weeks ago. I can only assume ED will fix it soon, perhaps in the coming week.

Did some more mission editing today. It is a hodge-podge though..I’m sure I’m missing some loadouts on some aircraft. Just trying to roll back the more advanced weaponry so that both sides stand a chance…but also WAG’ing a lot of it.
Let me know what you see that doesn’t work or needs adjusting. This is still just a test .miz and maybe we can finalize it for the weekend. I don’t think we need to get too far into the weeds about it..mostly this is about fun..and fortunately, for the BLUE side anyway..we can sort of be self-regulating on what weapons we load to make it fair. I’m mostly editing the BLUE and RED AI to eliminate obvious advantages.
Hopefully if everyone is unhappy with the results we’ve struck the right balance…haha…

You’ll see a unit occupied by me idling on the server..I probably won’t be in it..just keeping the mission running to check for crashes.

Mission isn’t loading. So obviously I broke something. Will have to look at it later..

Can I ask a favor—among the many already asked. If Foothold is going to be a thing, and clearly it is, for those like me who may not be current in the conversation but still might be interested, could we have server info, times, required/banned mods all pinned to Post #1 for easy access? Does this mean that I will definitely show up and charm all of you with my ineptitude? Probably not. So let’s just say I’m asking for a friend.

I’m not getting in either unfortunately. Thanks for taking the time once again Chris.

It’s pretty frustrating because I made a hundred different edits to AI loadouts and now I’m not sure what is causing the mission not to load.

Yeah..we can do that. Once I’m done editing this mission I’ll start a new thread with that at the top.

Great idea honestly. Perhaps Beach will do it when he puts up the server ‘for real’ once he is happy with how it is tuned.
When you feel like it and have the time! It is always running. We europeans usually get on at our local night time and when its closing in on our bedtime, the American folks take over. We did a planned strike last time and that was fun I heard. Hopefully we will do more.
None! But if you don’t have certain mods some aircraft will be funny to you. Par example the UH-60 will look like an untextured Hip to you.

OK…removed MODS from the server and the mission is loading..so I suspect it is one of them. I’ll add them back one by one and see if I can figure out the culprit.

Server is up and will stay up most of the day unless it crashes. Still doesn’t have the auto-restart script yet. Please look mostly at AI loadouts and let me know what needs to be changed. I’m not too worried about client loadouts since you guys can be self-policing on that.

Oh thank the heavens its not all those config edits… that wouldve been nightmarish. I think we owe you some coffee or something.. for all these headaches.

Not at all. I just can’t imagine how Leka and @jross and those guys do it. Your eyes start to blur and things all blend together after too much time looking at the mission editor..haha…

Definitely not. This is the first patch in about 6 months that has acceptable multiplayer performance

Server down for about 15 minutes while I take a look at adding back in another mod (OV-10) to see if we break it again. After that..I’m pretty happy with what exists there and I think we are ready to go live. Particularly in that I can continue to modify the .miz file once the campaign starts and the SAVE files should not really change on mission reload.
Server will be back up at approximately 12:15 Eastern (1715 UTC).
As of right now I have the F10 map active with the thought that a true AWACS would be more helpful than the in-game AWACS. When three or four of us are playing together..inevitably one of us at any given time is swinging in a parachute (LOL) and I figure the F10 map is fun in drawing everyone the big picture. I’m tilting toward fun rather than realism on this server. Of course, everyone is free to not hit the F10 button and just listen to the audio from other players..so again..it can be as self-limiting as you like.

I’m not sure why external fuel tanks aren’t available for the A-4…I’ll dig into that.
