Eh guys.

Well on the server side here's what is going down:

Turns out the server side of the program doesn't like it when you swtich users in windows- which is something I'm going to need to do while I'm not at home. So, to accommodate the needs of a full time server I've dropped down the settings on my monster machine and floated it out there with the normal password: go

I will look into doing what needs to be done with the cable to have it hard wired. Frankly I'd rather have it directly connected to the net for reliability... just not an option at this point- at least until I get back home. I can't check on it right now- but it should be running full.

Let me know if there are issues- at the very least I can walk the GF through the problem solving process and try to keep things running.

Just send me her number and I can contact her while you are away.

j/k ENO!

604-431-57.... Hey wait a minute! That's not the right number! It's 614...

Kidding aside- it should be maximum badness. The server, I mean!


On another note- just preordered my gtx 680... Those of you who recently purchased a 580 may want to engage the bump up program from evga- assuming you bought from them, it's actually cheaper or at least the same cost as the 580 and trounces it across the board!

Worth a look!

I'd rather that the server did not have a password. Comments?

I can add a repeating message - that says something like, "Register free at SimHQ.com to join the Teamspeak server."

Lol, using the server as a recruiting tool? Well, works either way. Just wanted to fly in a "controlled environment," and have guys on TS. Nothing more annoying than coming in a server, noticed several targets have been worked on, and have to ask guys for updates via chat.

Doesn't bother me if there's a password, especially one as short as the one Eno came up with. I kinda like the idea of being more likely to fly with people I'm familiar with if I'm honest. You know, Internet familiar with. Also Ice, I know I still owe you a flight, we'll do that some time for sure!

So server with ts info? Thats fair... I can do that if that's what the community wants.

I guess we are not going to get too many comments from non-SimHQ members about whether to use a password or not


We need an event.

Eno will you be available for a weekend in the latter part of April? Say Friday evening through Saturday night - the 20th or 27th?

A post older than 24 hours is considered stale on this forum, eh?


Server passwords protect players from jerkwads and griefers (like the guy that played demolition derby with me on the taxiway that one night). Put the Teamspeak info in the mission description and decent folks can hop on and ask for the password.

[edit: by "Teamspeak info" in the above paragraph, I meant to say that folks could put a comment like "Check on SimHQ's TS3 server" in their mission or server description, not the actual SimHQ TS3 login info. As Ice points out in his response below, and in my response below that, sharing SimHQ TS3 login information with folks not registered on SimHQ is a serious offense and will be punished. Sorry for any confusion!]

What makes you say that?

Much as I don't like being "elitist" in any way, I would strongly campaign a password-protected server for these same reasons. BTW, note that the SimHQ TS3 details being shared by posting it on the mission description is considered a "no-no," as I recall from conversations with WC during one of the Fly-Ins. Can't quite remember why, but it was how the SimHQ mods wanted it and WC respected that request. So the only way they can come it is to sign up on SimHQ, find the TS3 details, then hop on to the server. Or even just come onto this thread and discover the password.
