GG- in mission editor now- looking at mission options. Do I just not enforce these different settings? So for example it says enforce a bunch of things- going through a list of items... And then a value checkmark. So if I uncheck enforce that is going to allow the client to run their own settings?

Sorry it's just I'm wondering if I'm looking at the right menu. I think I am.

WC-if you don't have that edited in, and this is what it takes to free up the clients to raise their settings do I have your permission to make the change?


On an additional note: Eno / WC Roadkill server is up with the latest version of Roadkill. Should be smooth and stable!

Be interested to find out if the graphics are locked down?

Must.. Resist playing for one weeknight!!

Resistance is missile... er- I mean futile!

Eno,
Thank you for asking -


GrayGhost said -
I do not know what GrayGhost is referring to when he says " mission .. editor, ... terrain option".
GG, can you add in more information for us?


-- edit -- these screenies are from the GUI Manual, not my missions ---

Anything in these five tabs is OK for you to change - under the "it's your server" category - these are the Main Options tabs -
Gameplay Settings -


---

But stuff in these two screenshots are things that I would not want anyone except the mission builder to change - these are Mission Builder features -
Map Options -


Mission Options -


For Scenes, Civ Traffic and G Effect I run these locked at High, Medium and Simulation.

If you experiment with the last two screens in the Mission Builder and feel that a change would be advantageous then let's discuss it, and if I agree then I will change it and send the latest version. I feel like it's a book I wrote and if a line gets changed then the whole premise of the mission could be jeopardized. I would think others would feel the same about their missions.

The reality is that any mission that gets out can get hacked and re-posted. Not long after the November Fly In I flew on the China Pro server and it was hosting one of Moa's missions under a different name, with modifications. Moa and I discussed it and ,,, what could we do about it? Nothing. I don't know how the mission got out; it was a bummer to see someone else hosting something that I know Moa put a lot of original time and effort into.


WC

Yes, you're looking at the right thing, so enforce whatever you want to enforce in the mission, and leave everything else to be client-defined.

OK, here are the two screens from the Mission Editor for Nuke Plant v11p - pretty much the same for Road Kill.

GrayGhost, what would you change from my settings, and why change, if you don't mind?


Mission Options: Labels I know about...


Note: In Map Options I *do* prefer that MGRS Lines be on so that pilots can say position (in a square) and say going to (the next square) (I will set this option back to checked - On).
--- edit --- I cannot see any difference when Isolines are On vs Off ---



WC

Looks simple enough


I hope others will make missions for us to fly, too. Anyone, PM me if you have questions.

I joined Eno's server just in time to see a mission reload. The terrain details were wonderful vs. last time. There were no changes in my Options or in the Mission Options - this reflects Eno's changes.


Right after joining, a message said '..Mission reload .. in 5..'. All the BLF forces had been wiped off the base. Then the 1 minute warning to reload -


After the mission ended the next one loaded right away.

Here's one of the first convoys setting out to Sochi base -



I still could not see Eno's server in the DCS Server Lobby but accessed it through my History. Eno's server IP is this -
70.79.187.158:10308
Plug this into your DCS Multiplayer - Connect By IP window. (Every server's IP is displayed. This does not compromise anything.)


WC

Awesome.

And yes- when I was checking it out between my comps I had to go to the history tab as well. Not sure I like that but if people remember to check that tab- if they've been in my server before- we should be okay.

GG- big props to you for helping get that squared away.

Next i will do these modifications to my actual server comp and take it from there.

And the team viewer is awesome. If a scheduled fly in happens when im gone I'll get wc or einstein on it. 3d issues are no longer a problem.

Great server, Eno,

Got some more screenshots near the water and the flying was smooth and detailed. All my graphics Options are on High / On except MSAA & HDR are Off. (What's MSAA?) Cockpit Displays are 1024 Every Frame.



The battle scenes flow - I can see the tracers from quite a distance - on my server this action was jerky -
--- edit - And I could fly through the smoke at low altitude with hardly a stutter, very close to the ground, too ---
