Dedicated Server?

[B16Enk]

As title suggests, wondering if there is any value/interest in setting up DCS on our server?

[BluBear]

Well, as a sporadic DCS flyer (usually more regular in the autumn/winter months) this sounds like a splendid idea.

I know Fenrir has created a handful of missions that he usually hosts and will most likely respond to this thread positively

I guess there's around half a dozen of us that fly DCS on a semi regular basis across the world, usually only 3-4 of us together at any one time.

The server we have is more than capable, better than the old one I just moved web site and TS off, so am happy to setup a test virtual machine for it.

It would have the added bonus of potentially attracting more newcomers to our group too.

Who'll be managing the DCS server? I can try, but I know next to nothing about the subject... I have DCS installed, so I can try and test.

 

Oh well, I'll try and set it up on my test box over here, if it works... easy install on the maybe-future-server... better be prepared than sorry!

I'm all for it, DCS has taken up +80% of my flying interest in the last year so naturally I'd love if we had an online home in it.

AP, Kira, and myself have been flying a lot of DCS lately. The F-15 lately, F-5 (which is a lot of fun), and we've done some A-10C stuff just to watch things go boom. I've also set up some navigation and instrument approach training missions for the F-15 and F-5. We also have some stuff for the 51 and 109. We're usually on early evening US time.

I would love to see it happen.

Hey, any server I set up will never ever have no stinkin' friggin' Jets in !! Nevva Evva! Be Sure!          

 

JETSR4Sissies!!

 

Props Rock!

You can always fly helicopters FT

[FoolTrottel]

Mêh, them Heli's probably have jet turbines in 'm, so... sissie material!

 

I've contacted them DCS peeps to do a Boeing P12E... that's a true spinner winner!

[B16Enk]

I'm going to build a Server 2012 VM, then 'workstation' it like I did with the DF/CLOD server.

 

I will pass on the details once done.

 

Question is - DCS1.5 or 2, or both?

[FoolTrottel]

There's two of 'm  ?? 

[B16Enk]

Yeah - 2 is in open beta but requires ownership of the Nevada module unfortunately

I'd say 1.5 Rog, I think more of us have that than 2. I reckon…

[rox]

Yep I second that, 1.5 is a priority. I just bought 2.0 recently but most of us play 1.5.

For now, they'll merge int one once they update the terrain engine of the Caucasus map.

[FoolTrottel]

Just spent some time in 1.5, in a P51 for sure ... Wicked! Go for 1.5, will do just fine.

 

Nevada is just desert anyways now aint it?

 

Or... is that where Area P51 is at?

[B16Enk]

Ok so I'll setup an account for us to use, and finish building this server for us.

It'll be on .140 Arjen and RDP via usual port with usual username/ pass combo.

Need to get box fully updated and see if Norton security will run on it.

Nevada map is mostly desert but includes an entire true-to-life Las Vegas, as well as the Nevada Test Range and other things in the area. I mainly bought it to be able to simulate a Syrian/middle eastern theatre for my Ka-50, Albatross, Mig-21, Mi-8 and soon Gazelle. I don't at all care for having a Nevada setting otherwise, maybe I will if it ever becomes a real warzone.

[B16Enk]

Gazelle is an interesting beast, auto throttle is a novel idea. You'll enjoy it [emoji4]

Yeah I would insta-buy it but I figured I'd rather get more familiar with the modules I have while waiting for the Gazelle to become discounted.
