shit... FIXED

Thank you Sinu!! VG BMS Server is going down this morning for the update. Should be back up in about an hour. Server Updated to 4.33 U3
-
Rad: Be sure to make note of your customized user config file settings and apply them individually to the new config file that's part of the U3 update. Helpful to note that this update adjusts the user config, so note your settings cuz you'll have to redo them after the U3 update.

VG BMS Server will remain on 4.33.2 (U2) until we have a new campaign save file for U3 - shouldn't take more than a day or few, but do not update if you wish to fly online here today and for the next few days (tentatively). Keep an eye on this thread, I will reply here before I begin updating the server and after to minimize player downtimes. *(server is now updated to U3) I'm gonna need help to recreate the Master Day 1 save file for BMS 4.33.3 -- these are the details for our current save, we'd like to match them as closely as possible. The Day 1 KTO file should be started from Rolling Fire as the 909th out of Kadena (Fukuoka Airbase) (KC-135) with the Difficulty Settings shown below. Hoping Sinu or someone can help us set this up again. Thanks in advance!

Encourage them but do not force them. Like Double_13 said, you can't make a rule for everything, and part of the skill of a good admin is learning how to clarify grey areas within the guidelines that have already been established for you - ya gotta learn to mix the "spirit of coop gameplay" with the letter of the law, all while keeping a cool head and giving people the benefit of the doubt cuz these are just games and not IRL life or death situations. You have time to give leeway - to trust your gut and go with what you know. If a public non-squaded player becomes a problem, then you can address it - otherwise, trust your feelings and relax a bit. "Beyond study and instrumentation, there is instinct" This is true for a certain portion - and some of those don't even have headsets yet, may not speak english confidently (or at all), or are very new to PC gaming in general and aren't sold on voice communication (or even paying attention to the chat rolls). Remember, most people in Battelfield style shooter games do not use microphones as a rule because most of the time all you hear on public servers is bullshit or N-bombs and trolling. To some people, online gaming isn't the social or cooperative experience we've come to expect from our online gaming here. Since we're different and more managed than an average public online game server, they won't get that here, but we can't force them to change or to participate - only encourage them.

Restarted to last autosave

No, just checked, everything is just fine. I connected without problems.
-
I literally just restarted the server, campaign was reported as won earlier today. Try again now, it's on Day 1.

Yesterday we got 2 inches of snow in less than 6 hours centered around rush hour traffic. This only happens every several years, and no one seemed prepared. Whole damn city pretty well shut down and this morning it's crawling back onto it's feet with snow shoes on. The giant hill that is the main road off our street is a mess of pileups frozen in action, abandoned for the night. I saw a car with it's dome light on - at least one of them will have a dead battery when they return.
Not one can move as all the cars are touching and bearing the weight of each other. It will be an engineering challenge to safely dislodge them individually without sending one rolling off the side and into one of the houses along the hill.
I took a walk up the hill to look at the mess, there were about 10 cars a quarter of the way up this 1/2 mile hill, a steep hill with angles from 4 to 7 degrees. A set of four cars were sandwiched together right in the middle of the road.
Another pair were frozen in what was a head on collision and they're nearly rolling off the side of the road, and one of them is wedged a foot in the air where their front ends meet, it's tires suspended above the icy ground.
Everyone else that couldn't make it up the hill parked their cars along my street everywhere there was space. They'll have to wait for the snow to melt to get emergency equipment up the hill in order to resolve that massive pileup.
Firstly, people here do not know how to drive in the snow, and secondly the trucks think they can go full speed and ignore packed snow even when they are not 4x4 off-road style trucks. The ignorance and false hope is frozen in a picture of those cars parked in their crashed positions on the hill.

Not sure what was up - the server looked just fine on it's side. There was someone (callsign Viper, so not sure who) about to takeoff - told him to wait for a quick restart. Saved, so it's restarted to whatever time it was right now. Hope it works better now.

Oh, that's sweet! I just noticed that TR433_01_Ground_Ops has the normal Training flight with the F-16, but the other 2 non-training flights there are A-10's. Never thought to try to ramp start one of those instead of the F-16... I've selected other flights in the Training missions before but it's usually by accident and then I'm in the mission wondering where all the steerpoints I briefed on are at or why nothing is corresponding to the section of the Training manual. -
In BMS, does the A-10 have a modeled RAMP start and second question, does it have all it's switches mapped to function similar to the A-10 (like how we operate it in the DCS sim) ? Also, since BMS is a Falcon sim, does the A-10 have it's own A-A and A-G controls based on SOI in the way the A-10 actually does with the TMS and China Hat, or are they the default TGP and TMS functions of the F-16 from the rest of the BMS sim? Last question, if you know, does the BMS's A-10 have a PAC control for using the GAU-8?
-
I think it's best to stick with the default keyboard layout so that people can help out with common control questions (How do I turn on the FPS counter? etc.) and work from there. The A-10 Throttle (in an A-10) uses it's throttle setup quite differently than the F-16, but you should be able to set it up proper for each individual aircraft if you want, and just save them as different profiles in BMS, and load them before flight to choose which one - but I think they should both be based on the default keyboard layout of BMS. *you can look at the diagrams in the BMS manuals to see what the actual controls setups are for the F-16 and map them to the stick and throttle from there. If you need pics for the default A-10C controls setup, the ones from the DCS A-10C manual would work to get a 1:1 accurate setup.

lol Fixed - Restarted to the last autosave

From the VG Minecraft Modsauce 2 -- I've been building here and there to further develop my castle, flattened out the courtyard and started building the village. First building I've finished is the church near the back, tons of carpenters' blocks for a proper angled roof, and some neat brick textures thanks to the chisel tool. The larger L-shaped building near the church is next, gonna make it a Tavern of sorts. Decocraft Mod is what makes the interiors so cool - having tons of fun building this model castle and village!
Every few months, more of that mountain becomes part of my castle.That largest tower on the left is my indoor automated farm - it's 21 levels going well below ground, using ComputerCraft Farming Turtles for the automation, they reap every 3 hours. Turned them off now, I have stored 10,000+ of every crop I keep. It's mostly a Hemp farm, which I harvest Industrial Hemp String from, crafted into standard String, and then crafted into Wool as needed for other projects.

If swec.se cannot find the servers through their default query ports (which are set correctly and are working correctly) then it's a problem with swec.se, and not us. Maybe contact them, I dunno what to say.

Thank you for your report. We take all reports of admin abuse seriously, and we will take actions to help curb the behavior you have reported. People can get frustrated at times, even admins, and while it is no excuse, it is human nature to get frustrated to a point where one's behavior is affected and these games are no exception. I know from personal experience that Double_13 is a good person, and it sounds like you had the unfortunate opportunity to be the "straw that broke the camel's back". Again, this is not an excuse of his behavior and if this becomes a trend, further action may be required. For the record, I'll state it here for everyone: Admins need to try to help those they can, and to not assume everyone is as smart as they are - remember what is obvious to us is not necessarily obvious to others, and repeatedly redundant questions (or the same question asked over and over) is not a personal attack directed at the admin(s) but merely a query from someone who may have missed the many replies to the very same question. Our community attitude is not "sink or swim", but Yonical, you must understand that we expect all players to pay attention and to keep up with the learning curve. Admins should continue to do their best to keep to an absolute minimum their emotional responses and avoid the use of name calling in the future as it is not always helpful to shame someone into keeping up with the herd. The remainder of my actions will not be posted in this thread, I prefer to address issues 1 on 1, so you can just assume things are being handled from here on out. Again, thanks for the report.

I'm hoping we'll find out soon. I went ahead and restarted the campaign from the Day 14 save file, and it seemed to be running fine all day. Just now I noticed it had crashed, but it had progressed and created several more autosave files since, so I restarted it from the latest one. If you guys notice any more issues like Kaos described above, please let me know. If the game seems fouled up, I'd be happy to scrap the save files and continue from the beginning of the war with different saves - but I need input for that.
-
It did not crash last night. I saw that Brain had some IVC issues, but other flights after that had no IVC issues that I could see, so I assume the problem resolved itself. I'd be happy to change it back to the Day 14 save files we left off on, to see if there is a problem with the save file causing crashes, or if they are just a string of coincidental crashes that gave us that impression. I'll be saving the save files from yesterday/today in the event that a Day 14 test just keeps crashing again, so that I can just restart from where the campaign is right now and not Day 1 beginning. I'm home all day today and I'll be keeping an eye on it as it goes to watch for crashes - but if it does crash mid-day for no apparent reason, I feel we must abandon the save and start fresh *(by which I mean going back to the save files we've been playing since last night, currently on Day 2).
