MP we need your input
-
After witnessing some MP flights , we have seen many players going back and forth in 3D without restarting BMS.
This is crucial once you have been in 3D to restart BMS IF you want to leave and come back.
Seeing what happens , we are thinking of coding a switch that will prevent to enter 3D again without restarting . What do you think about it ? Useful for server owners ?

maybe hide the comms window after joining 1st time?

I think you missed the point
It’s not a problem of reconnect it’s a problem of recommit
When you have been in 3D , if you back in 2D and want to re enter 3D you shall restart BMS

I think thats a very good idea.
There are always lazy guys around, who just leave 3D to enter right back without closing FBMS.
If you would add the switch (maybe optional via the serverconfig), the host could assure, everyone does it right and occuring problems have no reason in this missbehavior of clients. -
Not enough experience with 4.34 to comment in-depth, but with contrails being visible farther out, I did notice some extreme rubber banding when someone tried to reconnect during yesterday’s flight, so I’m all for it UFN.
Question as a mission builder: after going in 3D to test something, will I still be able to do stuff in 2D without the mission getting FUBAR’ed?

yes sorry, I meant the commit icon so people is forced to quit.

+1
Is the best solution. -
Normally fighter pilots are stupid, so +1
-
Good idea. Always in to support a stable connection and with this move, no one would be able to fubar the ongoing session.
-
YES
As re-entering 3D has an aprox. additional 500-700mb in memory use, leftover from previous 3D session.

It’s a pity to watch a game session turn bad because one guy was lazy or tired (we fly on Friday nights ). It’s a good idea.

Have to admit, this is a new info for me.
I assume this restart restriction is apply only to the clients. If I’m hosting our small campaign, I can fly again without restart. Is this correct? -

Irrelevant of beeing a client of a server , once you have been in 3D and back to 2D you shall not recommit in 3D without restarting BMS
The « servers » usually never come back in 2D though
This is valid in SP as well

Is this correct?Such a standard would probaly prerequire another must, which is hosting from a dedicated server in 3D on ramp with HUD only view and minimal graphic details. If you’re hosting from your “client”, you’re more at risk, maybe beyond this reasoning.
EDIT: Ninja’d. I’m now not even sure what you really asked, Tom

Also :
it is mandatory that the host commit first in 3D (and then only with this condition, the clients can commit in 3D) to make good mp session initialisation
-
Do it!
-
+1! This will save headaches I am sure! The forced restart after theater switch works very well too. It may result in some pains when someone is testing certain features though? So, perhaps a config option, which is enforced for MP missions?
-
if you do that, you better put something that tells people why its not launching again, because you’ll get a ****load of ‘‘bug’’ report/ questions

Is this a mandatory procedure even in SP?
