  1. Hi Asp, as no doubt you know by now, the default keys for chat in game is shift T. Get yourself killed easy using in flight though :)  Not sure but if you select UHF 13 you may be heard by others in game. Might be more to it than that.

    Never seen so much enemy activity south of Flot by day 5. probably caused by not much human input this campaign.

  2. Gut feeling is that custom anything on a P2P public server might be a bad idea. Based on no facts though. Weather seems ok. In such a small theatre as Korea I would prefer 10 min changes so that weather is changing  during mission dependant on location as per RL.  Its fine as is but would like to try. Ran a 10 min change offline when the feature of real weather maps 1st became available.

    Recently I have forced a CS connection on myself with no apparent downside. Its been suggested that is better for players with sub 5 Mbit upload.

  3. Can the master saved VG be edited some time so that the 36th 120th and 80th are not set HQ  unless the previous info on which are and which are not HQ has changed. Thanks.

    Changing weather is `realistic` but ground missions being scrubbed and that awful almost painful sky above blanket clouds is a big negative. A smattering of rainy days is bearable. But all that was a previous setup so this might be way better. Thanks Sinu anticipation :)

    Excellent advice SemlerPDX, exactly what I was looking for!

    Yes, I'll work my way through the tutorials and get myself familiar before tackling a mission on a live server.

    Its a lot of info to take in but us newbies gotta start somewhere.

    I'm using an old Logitech Extreme 3D PRO stick for now but if I really enjoy the simulator I'll invest in a HOTAS joystick later.

    There is no reason not to do some of your practice on the server. Even if you do not team up with another human each time you will be contributing to the war effort as  the campaign apparently benefits from human players beyond just their mission success and the opportunity is there sometimes to get knowledge and explanations from other players.

  5. As things stand after post U2 upgrade the weather has gone from dependable good to 50% chance of bad. (25% + 25%) and I think that's excessive. Might be RL for korea ? but gets in the way of FUN. I`m all for using instruments to get back to base now and again so bring on the occasional `pea souper` but generally the combination of poor weather and night flights is not a great draw and possibly off-putting for newcomers.

    So can we bring back the other option or  modify current setting to 5 + 5 ? (90% chance of reasonable weather.

     

    Can there be a list of `official` non HQ bases. Those of us who are interested can copy/paste on our systems and make the changes that sometimes seem to get missed after server disruptions, rather than guessing wrongly. Thanks.

    ok I did the update, in the installation it said not to copy over ur config file so some of you might get upset of having to redo ur config. im guess they want you to do that so that things dont bug out? I dont mind remapping the keys and such if its going to mess up the sim I would much rather take the time to go through everything again.

    It specifically says " U2 does NOT replace or modify your existing config file" and that is how it turned out for me. Also my previous settings for display extraction remained ON so UI was in window mode as before. Only the default keyfiles have updates so if modified versions were in use then the changes will need to be edited in or personal edits to default re done.

  7. The "AI spinning and teleporting" can be seen with the minimal usage of 1 player so do no think its load related. I cant help but think that the server is being strangled now and then for some reason. I also wonder if the pc spec as recently described is capable of doing the math and dealing with the in/out data for a busy server. But that would not apply to the minimal 1 user situation.

    I have not seen on bms forum any guide to minimal hardware for a `busy` campaign server.
  8. Regarding some trying 2048. The way I read the bandwidth usage section in the new manuals it seems to be saying that the server will take the lowest BW connected client and limit all the rest to that same figure.

    Finding planes rearmed after re-joining (not ALWAYS) goes way back in time not a new thing. The same goes for the annoying flight taking off again on same mission after landing and shutting it down before exit to lobby.
