Gaming O-F Dedicated FSX Server

[lennartsmit]

2nd one: Is that the new VTOL DC-3?

:rofl:

Out of curiousity, why not use the "official" O-F FSX server?

Because that server is only up on saturday.

It should be noted that it's a terrible addon. The flight model is nothing like the real shuttle.

...And here you are only using Youtube videos as reference, having never tried it yourself. There are all kind of bad landing videos on Youtube. If you post links to them, I could take a look at them.

It's actually up 24/7 now, as Heilor noted:

I am now keeping the server up all the time, not just on weekends, as it provides a good way to heat that room, now that summer's over.

Hopefully I'll have time to get back on the server soon as well.

Server's up all the time now (except perhaps some brief downtime to do updates on a weekday evening). It was never up only on saturday, saturday is just the time that the "scheduled" flight happens.

Hey Hielor, do you think we could add these to the reccomended addon list?

The above requires this for placement

If the links don't work, my bad. The school comps have all these blockers that keep people from finding DL sites.

Doesn't work in multiplayer, near as I can tell.

worked in multiplayer for me and my bro... not sure what ur problem was

Did you check in the IRC? I think whatu was asking in there if anyone wanted to fly.

I haven't been able to reinstall FSX on my main desktop yet, which is why I couldn't join.

Interest has been fairly low for awhile.

Perhaps plugging it a bit more in IRC or in the chat box or varying 'scheduled' flight times would help...on the other hand it has been holiday season.

If I spawn a vessel using AICarriers, no one else will see it. You'd have to have everyone manually spawn the same thing at the same time in the same location, which kind of defeats the purpose.

No, it doesn't work in multiplayer, so no, I won't be adding those to the list of recommended addons for the server. It also was showing up in the menu twice, and there was no way to close out of the menu once opened--not sure if this in Win7 specific or not, but anyway. Fun thing to play around with in single player maybe, but doesn't work for multiplayer.

 

[Pilot7893]

We doing anything today? I was thinking carrier ops, we haven't done that in a while.

 

[astrosammy]

I wasn't flying for months, so I really want to fly again. I'll join.

 

[Pilot7893]

Ok, I'll take the roll of the FSN Carrier off the coast of KLAX.

 

[Brycesv1]

dam. looks like i missed u guys

From the session today: CYVR to KPAE.
I was flying the PMDG 747-400X and was being escorted by F/A-18s all the way to KPAE.
Some images:

Tex and Astrosammy escorting me after climb out from CYVR

Tex is visible from the cockpit.. I think he waved

ILS 16R Approach at a wet KPAE. Tex and Astrosammy can be seen trying to stay with my lumbering bird as I start my final.

All in all a wonderful session!

 

[Shadow Addict]

Multiplayer FSX looks amazingly fun. I'm gonna build up my skills a bit more (the best I can do right now is a fairly level traffic pattern) and join in on this sometime in the future.

 

[Tex]

That was me in the F-18 next to Lambo. Astrosammy and Whatu were there too.

Hang out in the orbiter IRC, things are typically announced there.

 

[Pilot7893]

I can't get the IRC to work, so I just join every Saturday to see if anyone's there.

FYI: I was in the mood to fiddle with FSX today and sought out getting better performance and quality in it so I used NickN's guide on simforums.com
http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=29041&PN=1 and I happily increased my FPS. Just thought I'd share it (if you haven't already tried it or read through it).
