Flight / Space Sims

Post by rob_c » Fri Feb 25, 2005 11:48 am

I've noticed that there are some references to IL-2 in your sigs, and that your ISP provides a server.

Is there much interest in it ?

Do you guys fly regularly ?

Anyone interested in any Space sims as well ?

Most of the flight/spacesim regulars hang out at http://www.kiwisim.net.nz Several of us have some Lomac multiplayer on monday nights. I believe the IL2 server also gets a fair amount of usage on a monday night. As far as space sims go, Windlepoons over at kiwisim is quite keen on playing orbiter.

The IL2 Server at InSPire Net has recently been upgraded and is starting to build up the numbers again. :)

We have a "Monday Night War" which kicks off usually around 7.30pm (NZST) and continues for as long as people stay (hours!).
On average we would get 20+ pilots flying on that night.

During the week, it gets regular usage as well so you'll usually find a few people on in the evening/night hours.

Details of the server are:
Server based in New Zealand up 24/7
Hosted by http://inspire.net.nz/

IP: 203.114.130.15
Port: 21000

Note: default,Default and noname at all are all locked out and if joining via all seeing eye you will need to set name before joining.
Also, make sure you don't have a space before or after your name.

Set to 128 players

The difficulty settings:
difficulty SeparateEStart 1
difficulty ComplexEManagement 1
difficulty EngineOverheat 1
difficulty TorqueGyroEffects 1
difficulty FlutterEffect 1
difficulty WindTurbulence 1
difficulty StallsSpins1
difficulty Vulnerability 1
difficulty BlackoutsRedouts 1
difficulty RealisticGunnery 1

difficulty NoPadlock 0
difficulty Clouds 1
difficulty NoInstantSuccess 1
difficulty TakeoffLanding 1
difficulty RealisticLandings 1
difficulty NoMapIcons 1
difficulty NoMinimapPath 0
difficulty NoSpeedBar 0

Note:Separate engine start means you have to map keys in your player setup so you can start your multi engine planes ingame.
Suggest: e1,e2,e3,e4 for 4 engines then se to select all.

Ping kick is set to 1000ms and you get a few warnings before it boots you.
This wont ban you. Just kicks you for 3 repeated warnings over 1000ms.
but make sure you have your network set to your internet speed and dont try to download stuff whilst playing etc.
The server throttles the rates at 8000 about 56k overall.

If you get a minus score by shooting your own team you will get banned crossing the -1000 mark.
This includes bombing your sides targets...friendly fire!
In this case you will need to plead your case on the GP forum to be removed from the banned list.
Following your court marshal hearing and execution.

The map set is constantly being revised and tweeked for playability and fun.
