24/7 Falcon Online CO-OP server
-
B3rNO, if you allow me some humour … ;):
Friends from FO and you asked “why this funking 4.33 MP is not working!!!” (and honestly, we initially had exactly the same interrogations! Obviously.)… asking some BMS coders to examine the crash-logs … dump files … etc …
As you know, Mav-Jp is one of them … He has unrestricted access to code and is able to read the core… the heart of the soft itself … and he has (with all other coders and devs) studied/interpreted crash-logs. Fixed many bugs …
Mav-Jp said and explained on other posts that root cause is not MP code but rather global stability issue (code yes … and might be because of data also, whatever they are, stock or 3rd party induced). Also told you that MP code itself has even been improved!
But when we read you … you seems basically telling that he is wrong!?! … and seems that you (?) know what the core issue is on 4.33 … and you say that core issue is MP code … !
… as an ordinary member of the community, express my own opinion about FO events, why should I be modest? It’s just an opinion, isn’t?
Fair.
So … following the same logic … , if you were an astrophysicist, I would ask you to consider this:
“In my opinion, earth is flat. Observing a moon eclipse, here is my legitimate prove.”
This is also just an opinion, isn’t?
…
Anyway … have a great Falcon night guys! MP or not. (Solo Campaign are also nice to fly!) Keep the faith.

Having personal opinion about PC Simulator does not require to present any prove to the third person (conversely “flat earth-ers”) but the word itself should be enough to convinced about his state of mind.
Trying to derive/compare conversation to the “flat earth” discussion is really silly and way off all of the logic Dee-Jay… but you made me laugh at least, good job man. :mrgreen: -
Are you trying yo say the earth is not flat :sad:
PS: if the earth is not flat then why doesn’t my shopping trolly roll to the south.

Wow… that escalated quickly. (j/k)
Have you ever tried PvP on it? Would be curious to see what happens if you opened up to a couple Red Squadrons as well and let people fly both sides of the line. If the stability is there, it shouldn’t make a difference which team or squadron people join. That would settle the debate once and for all no? If you open it up to PvP, and the server traffic jumps and there are no issues, then you can definitively say the issue was squarely on FO, be it the theaters they created, or the server management, or whatever the case was. But if you open it up and immediately start getting crashes as soon as there are more than 20 people on the server, there should be little to no debate that the issue needs to be researched further code-side.
So, that’s a lot of very specific stuff there. We do not run PvP squadrons, so that’s a no-go right there, and I can’t recall the last time I saw more than 16 players on the server at one time, let alone twice that, so I guess it would be pretty difficult to test. We could try running an event if this data would be helpful, and could open up both sides for the duration, but on a day to day basis, we just don’t have that sort of traffic. I’m not exactly sure right now how many non-passworded 24/7 public COOP (no mods) Campaigns are running online right now, nor how many players are interested in that sort of “experience”, but I assume that FO must have had between 30 and 50 players online during peak times, daily, based on the statements above and we’ve just never seen traffic like that.
The hardware will certainly handle it, so if it would help to test, let us know and we can discuss details or make arrangements for an event. I suppose the parameters would be vanilla BMS, no mods (same Acdata forced), and that’s about it.

They are perfect, but thank you for your concern. (whatever that means or whatever you try to say with a sarcastic way)
Oedipus, swollen ankles. By extension, someone who never questions his judgement or is very confident about it.
Edit: arriving late, another bottom of page topic trick…

Regardless who is right and who is not, what are you trying to achieve B3rNO? It would be awesome when FO will become active again, and I think close constructive collaboration is necessary for that. So, in what way does your aggressive /complaining tone help here?

yeah… You just late for the party.

As Mower would say, “GOTS”
Everytime I go to VG server there’s noone there, where do we coordinate online flights?

The COOP server generally only had a handful on it at any given time. Similar numbers to what you state for your normal traffic. It was the scheduled / advertised PvP events that drew in the crowds. Typically the first hour or so saw peak numbers which stretched into the first few hours as players logged in and setup flights, etc…
IIRC there were hills and valleys throughout the day as groups of players from different time zones would generally come en mass, or squads would meet for pre-arranged times. Regardless, I would be interested to see what happens, even if nobody else would. I seem to recall there was a lot of speculation, or guessing anyway, that the changes to the Theater may have played a big impact on the issues.
On a side note, why is there always such hesitation to allow PvP? Or for that matter, such control over who can fly from where? If the stability is there, as I said, it shouldn’t really matter who flies what from where. I stopped flying online because sometimes I like to go cruising in an A-10, or F-15, and nobody ever allowed it on their servers.
Wait for the next 4.34 TvT official event

This is why we have several human only squadrons with various aircraft available to fly. We have Eagles for sure, but no one ever requested Warthogs, so we don’t have a squadron of those sitting around waiting for humans to fly them, but would be easy to add if desired. We run COOP because that is just the focus of our gaming community, we’re a casual lot.

Bad timing I assume. I get the opposite, whenever I need to log in real quick for server maintenance, I am unable to restart because someone is in-flight. But it is highly irregular it seems, sporadic times. We do have multiple places available for coordination of online flights from our website to discord, and usually we just encourage people to hang out in our TS3 falcon channels. Whatever works. Not sure if the numbers are there, but a sim being different than an FPS, it’s not exactly easy to “seed” a server to grow it’s currently online player base. Scheduling with friends always seems to be best, or just come-as-you-are and fly some short hops, and see who shows up - might get a larger flight in if people did their small solo flights online. Know what I mean?

FO uses modified versions of BMS (* dat, trigger, * cam etc etc). So why ask BMS?

That’s not any different than any of the other theaters out there with campaigns. The files were modified in the same fashion as all other campaign files.
Does/Did all other modified campaigns stack 4 Battalions on top of each other ? NO !
PS: That was BFS & Balkans, I cant say for their Modded Korea.

16 vehicle slots, maximum 3 vehicles per slot = 48
Though, the Campaign Force Ratio setting can manipulate how many vehicles are being used. Refer to RP5 manual, Pages 54/55.

Then I would like to request an A-10 squadron be added the next time you take the server down and make a few mods in MC, please.

Oh man, that becomes a torture…
