You'll find our TX "All-Altitude" Server up and running.  Has had good usage over the last 24 hours.

"All-Altitude" means there are a mix of ground and 3 to 6 Km air starts in the rotation.  In order to balance mission length (don't want too many people having to wait a lifetime to join) and maximize the breadth of environments rendered by Rise of Flight, I felt this was necessary.

Current settings have "Navigation Icons","Warmed-Up Engine" and "Subtitles" set to on.

Maximum Server Size is currently set to 16 - Most missions are 6v6 with 2 larger missions. Server features as many add-on "store" aircraft as feasible, with every mission containing at least two "stock" aircraft.

The missions are constructed "quasi-historically", in that historical locations, dates and aircraft have been chosen for historically correct missions (3 missions in rotation now are purely historical).  I've modified this theme some to ensure each and every mission has "default" aircraft.  So there's a Spad or Alb D.Va or N28 tucked in each - even though they really don't fit perfectly in the historical context.

Gauges off - sure.  Thought I'd give them a little time with gauges for D8.

Folks,

"All Altitude" Dedicated will be opening as soon as I get home tonight from work.  Missions updated to incorporate a few appropriate scenarios with D.VIIF vs SPAD XIII.   If you see me on comms you'll know it's up.

Spent last two nights installing Q9550, flashing 680i bios, tweaking missions and moderate Overclock (3.4 GHz).

Hopefully we'll be able to see if more than 5 v 5 is possible at this bandwidth. Most are 5 v 5 scaling to 8 v 8.  Last time I hosted it on dedicated there was no lag. 

It's time to have a little fun, I think.

S~

You know Gozr - that's what I was thinking too  Wink  What do you think?  What would you like?

J99 made a "skins server" and "remote ROF dedicated server monitor" applications.  I need to go look those up again to see if they can be used to provide common skins to all players....

A portion of the community has expressed the desire to fly with skins and no stats.  I might run a poll today over at ROF to see if folks would populate such a server.  My guess is they would IF they knew it was up.
