Unfortunately this looks like a persistent client-side problem in Weapons.dll. I'll be opening a thread on the ED forums and posting data there for the ED team to look at. We did this for after the last fly-in and the ED team sorted out a lot of server-side issues (which is why in this time around we have not had any server crashes, unlike last time).

Some missions are still running fine so it is still worth joining and having a fly.

Anyone know what the deal is with MP and snap views? On the 104th all my custom views dont work, they are default. On stallturn they work as expected.

I guess it seems like a server setting but I don't understand what could be wrong with custom snap views that they may be turned off for MP?

BTW, just got my first a2a on the server. Now I know how to use that aim9 smile

I've got the same problem. It seems to be mission specific though because i've had the same issue on both servers the last fly-in. It just depended on which mission they were flying.

Thanks Moa, the more data the merrier.

GG and I have had that happen to us also on the server tonight, so we've got some data of our own as well. smile

My system crashed/locked up each time I tried to join the server. Would get to loading screen then as the grey line got half way across the bottom it would lock up. D'oh, was looking forward to flying with you.

Thanks to Wrecking Crew and the 104th for setting this up! Connected to the 104th server last night. Managed to get TS working and had my first DCS A-10C multiplayer flight. smile Initally my jet spawned onto a parked Ka50. Also saw an A-10 which was parked on the ramp, hovering unattended about 20' in the air... Did a cold start, got airborne, and a bit of formation flying. Was great to see and hear other human controlled flights. I contributed nothing to the mission other than providing a target for enemy anti-air... had my right engine shot up and my right wing sawed off. Made it back to the runway. All in all it was great fun and I will be back today for more! cheers

+1! Now if I could just find my targets and get the same kind of practice on weapons deployment!

I managed a few good flights, though as expected my ping rate here in Kuwait during the day keeps booting me off of the 104th and crashing out on Stallturn... but the flights I did get in with Slip and BlueHeron were fun.. I forgot who it was that took that Blackshark out with the AIM9.... I go by Longreach in the game... will try to get on tonight after work and when the middle east goes to bed :-))

I had a great time too, once those servers stabilized. I can rarely find anything to shoot at, but at least I'm learning lots from the folks on Teamspeak. Hope to be back on in an hour or so!

Great to hear you are having fun. Note, for the Fly-In the F10 (map view; you are the white aircraft) and all external views are permitted.

The Printscreen button will take a screenshot (although use with caution, you can introduce lag for other players when printscreening, which can be bad for low flying Hogs). Post snaps of your experience of the event here in SimHQ.
