Official Thread for the November 13-15 Mudspike DCS World Fly-In

Awesome. Look for me… I’ll be the one trailing smoke and flames. Protocol dictates you just fly up on my wing, give me a salute, and let me be on my way back to base…

:smiley:

I should be on a bit late tonight…then very heavy on Sat and Sun… I’m looking forward to it!

I’m on the TS now with Krautwald and Maclean

I’m ready for when I do log on though…!! Many kind thanks to GeorgeLKMT for helping me out (on very short notice might I add!) and creating this custom Mudspike fly-in skin!



Gorgeous! Nice job George!

We’re in @Derbysieger’s DCS World 1.5 server, but we’ve already experienced a crash. Going to give it some more test time!

Great fun flying with you guys tonight!

This. This is fine:

Sort of landed this one:

Sorry, I should have posted this far earlier than now, but some real life stuff came up and I got distracted.

Howdy, I’m near_blind, and I’m running the North American fly in server for the 1.5 open beta. If all goes well and the machine does not burst into flames, we’ll have the server running from now until sunday with only minimal downtime for anyone who wants to fly.

I’ll be initially providing a general fly-in sort of mission that offers all flyable aircraft in the game, as well as ground target areas and opportunities to test your mettle against AI fighter pilots of all eras. I hope throughout the weekend to be able to provide some more mission content as I catch up with the backlog.

The update seems to have improved stability quite a bit. After an initial CTD I had the server up for about 2hours without major issues. There were some lag spikes when players joined aircraft, one of which killed me while I was flying low level, but otherwise it was quite good. RAM usage indicated that I will have to restart roughly every 2.5-3h tomorrow but that should be absolutely acceptable for a free flight server. I will announce restarts in chat 10-15min prior.

I will try and have the Server up and running starting around 11UTC, that’s in about 10 hours from now. I’ll announce it here.

Cheers,
Derby

Hello guys, new the forums, was brought here by the fly in.

Thanks for putting it on, I recently broke my foot so this breaks the monotony a little bit lol

That Huey Apocalypse mission was brutal.

Welcome aboard Andrew - glad you could swing by. And yeah…that Huey Apocalypse mission was awesome… I’m still walking back to base I think…

Had an enjoyable couple of hours last night and a big thanks to Derbysieger for hosting and EinsteinEP for driving me round :sunglasses: Hope to catch more fun over the next couple of days :smile:

Apologies for being late - my internet was out.

Anyway, I’ll have the server up shortly.
