Posted this morning across the known universe:
The members of RAF74, a squadron with over ten years of active participation in online combat flights sims, are proud to announce our latest endeavor: The RAF74 Historical Dogfight Server!
Using many of the new capabilities provided by the latest mods, we have created a diverse set of objective-driven maps that offer a combination of action and historical fidelity. Our missions reward coordination and team play that focuses on achieving the goals laid out for each map; we encourage players to utilize our public TeamSpeak server. Normal run-time for our maps is two hours, so there is plenty of opportunity to allow the action to develop. Moreover, a full set of AI flights is provided in every map, so there's always something going on!
Our missions take place over Slovakia, Thailand/Burma, El Alamein, Bessarabia, Italy, Midway, Finland, and Libya, with more in development. Each has been researched and developed to offer a fun, balanced scenario placed within the historical context. Where possible, we have tried to adhere closely to historical events as they happened; in other cases, we have made limited changes in order to offer players the best possible online flying experience.
So if you want to fly with the 3rd Squadron of the American Volunteer Group as they race to intercept Sallys bound for Rangoon on Christmas morning 1941, or join LLv24 in a ski-equipped Fokker D.XXI as they tangle with Soviet I-15s and I-16s over frozen Finnish lakes during the Winter War, or fly low across the dunes in a Desert Air Force Hurricane as the British attempt to halt Rommel's last desperate drive into Egypt, head over to Hyperlobby and look for “RAF74Historical”. See you in the skies!
FAQ:
What mods package do you use?
- We use the latest Ultrapack mods. Currently this is version 2.0m.
What should I enable in JSGME?
- The following mods are run on our server:
6DOF_Tracker
Zuti_DSMod_v1.12_UP
Atm_mod_original
TougherBridges
TougherTrains
What are the difficulty settings?
- We run all settings on (“full switch”) except for the Speedbar.
How do I join your TeamSpeak server?
- Point your TS client to 98.126.33.186:8767
Do you run CRT=2?
- Currently no. The reason for this that that UP2.0 has introduced checks that prohibit custom skins on the client side. While we would prefer to continue to offer players the opportunity to use their own skins while flying on the RAF74 Historical Dogfight Server, we reserve the right to institute CRT=2 if circumstances warrant.
I tried to join, but I couldn't find the server on Hyperlobby?
- Our server also hosts the Forgotten Skies online war, which runs Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday between 9.00-11.30pm Eastern time. At these times the RAF74 Historical Dogfight Server will be unavailable. We regret any inconvenience.
I have more questions. Where can I get answers?
- RAF74 has set up a public forum dedicated to the Dogfight Server. You can find it at: http://www.raf74.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8
