WWBrinson Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 As per recent discussion and observed interest in DCS, and in light of their 'free try' period, I went into the dungeon of Castle Anthrax and untied a few code monkeys with orders to fire up the servers. The server (Castle Anthrax) is up and running. The password is the same as what we use to login to the IL2 servers. Enjoy. If you'd rather I put a different map or would like it restarted, please let me know. I'm off to go make sure the code monkeys were all tied back up. I can't have those weird little bastards running amok in the Castle. S! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Many thanks Brinson!!! those code monkeys are real rabble rousers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWGriphos Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Great! I'm downloading the MiG-19 now. Seems they've dealt with most of the issues, so I want to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWFawlty Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Persian Gulf equals no go for the steam version I'm running. The idea of switching/ reinstalling to the ED version doesn't do it for me. Unless you can do it without loosing all the tweeking I've done, mostly controllers but a few mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWGriphos Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Yeah, can we switch the server over to the Caucasus map? More people can join that way. Most folks don't like the Persian Gulf map much anyway. And the carriers work great on the Caucasus too. That's the map we're using for F-18 training with carriers.

WWGriphos Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 When will folks be flying today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWSandMan Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 grr, not at my desktop to do any flying, but when IU get a chance I'll log in and putter around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWFawlty Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Well it wasn't pretty but I did get it down with only a broken forward gear after a short jaunt around town. Got a lot to learn ,or try to remember from previous experience with this heli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I’ll be flying the WWI event tonight and I’ll probably on sometime this afternoon and I’ll hop on the DCS server. Such a massive learning curve. The flying part is easy, it’s all the other shit that’s tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWGriphos Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Ain't it tho?!! Okay, tanking with WWCannonFodder for a bit, then I'll hop on the DCS server later this afternoon and look for folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hopped on for about two minutes, and then CTD. It's been a CTD-fest with DCS for the past two days with me actually. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWBrinson Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hmmmm. It takes a while to spool up and run. Are you launching it through Steam? If so, verify the integrity of the files. What are you trying to fly? The same aircraft every time you get CTD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Stand-alone DCS. Only been happening since beta install. F-14 on the anthrax server, and in single missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWGriphos Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hmmm....I don't ever get CTD. I wonder if it's the way you changed to the beta. I wonder if not all the files installed correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I can’t begin to describe how much I’m going to enjoy a complete reinstall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWPlague Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Chunk, try different video card drivers, older or newer, to find a fix other than a complete re-install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I did a repair from the DCS menu. We’ll see if that works, then I’ll go the video card driver route if that fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I have new video drivers, but the same old crash to desktop in multiplayer. It’s gets to in the cockpit then just freezes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWGriphos Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Have you tried other MP servers? Does it happen on all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I’ll have to try some other time. I did not attempt another server yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWGriphos Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I flew the MiG-19 around a bit today. Dammit!! I think they're going to get some more of my money! I love those old jets, and it's definitely been worked on. Cockpit, while still dark, is up to the level of detail of their other, better jets. And it's just fun to fly. I still can't figure out how to make the guns work. I guess it's time to do the in-sim training for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWZed Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Brin... thanks for setting this up for us, could I ask for a couple of changes in the server options? 1. Easy communications ON. 2. Allow player export 3. And for a short period. Labels on. #1 allows us to get the comms to go to the right place until we get better. Tx4 is the auto channel that will send comm to the right place but must be ticked on to work #2 player export allows the server to send mission info to va programs like Viacomm so the experience is more realistic in the information available for target acquisition. #3. I need labels because at the moment all the planes look like migs to me comments from anyone else? Good to go with whatever way it swings..
