Author	Topic: So is SDOE online dead?
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 08-21- 03:11 AM Hi guys, I havn't been playing latly, just following developments and such. I really only like playing online, but everytime I check the server listings no one is on and noone has been on for the last 24hours. So is SDOE online done? Is it mostly now just people making stuff and flying offline? Cause that would suck. Give it too me straight guys, I used to be able to fly online every night. It was a little later then I would have liked and only lasted for a couple hours but it seems you can't even do that anymore. IP: Logged
xomer Cadet	posted 08-21- 03:34 AM No one online due to complexity of current sdoe files... noone wants to check the compatibilities - it's too hard... (it is my opinion) IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 08-21- 03:43 AM Well I guess there is no online till that is fixed then. Will that ever happen guys? IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 08-21- 03:58 AM Spanky, i flew some very nice missions last weekend. Can´t remember how many guys were online at the same time(23.00GMT) but i´m sure 12+. Just wonder how many watching tailslides server site waiting that some people go online. So you don´t see anybody in the lobby if all are only watching/waiting via Explorer without starting the game and enter the lobby. Rendsburger PS: If you hit ALT-Enter in SDOE the game shows in a window then,so you can start your InternetExplorer while you waiting for someone in lobby! Rendsburger IP: Logged
gt Pilot	posted 08-21- 04:13 AM I've completely given up playing online due to the complexity of the game The thing is, when you find someone, this person has for SHURE another configuration than you have!! Problems found: - Missions with GroundPack's - Missions with PP6.0 - Missions with PP6.1 - Missions using the beta/or without ...it's a whole mess! What I know is, that the so called 'Online-Standard' has always been PP6.0 ...and that's it! But people have started to play around with the patch and 6.1 and that caused the confusion! So please give us a 'Standard'!!!!!!! ...that's my opinion I don't think that this will get better in the future....even worse. cheers gt ------------------ Please visit: GT's HANGAR Bombing the Reich "You'll have to put her down Baz, we're badly on fire."

Rendsburger Pilot	posted 08-21- 05:02 AM From my view i can say that Planepack 6.1 and the .9 patch is standart for onlineplaying. Most onlinegamer use this configuration. Rendsburger IP: Logged
Karaya 2 Pilot	posted 08-21- 05:12 AM I think that perhaps you guys might want to check the 1.5.2.9 patch lobby from 21:30 Hours GMT onwards on Saturdays. Like Rends said, there were 12+ in that lobby at that time and we flew in some terrific missions. From my own experience this seems to be the best time to catch many guys online at the same time as it's the same time that the Sdoe War & Sdoe Squad Wars began and though these are now over, a lot of us still turn up to fly with each other. As summer in the northern hemisphere draws to a close I'm certain that many more pilots will come back and hopefully the Squad Wars will restart. For the record I don't believe that online play is as such a mess as you guys claim it to be. Sure, we need an updated online std as there are many new add ons available but, IMO I believe these have made online play so much more the better. The addition of the patch and some bitching new terrains, groundpacks and aircfraft packs have made this sim so much more enjoyable now, both on and offline. The majority of online players now have and use the following: FS CD Patch 1.5 Nations 2 Plane Pack 6.0 Plane Pack 6.1 Patch 1.5.2.9 Harmans' Ground Pack, the new Bavaria and Smolensk Terrains and the new WWI Plane Pack are also worth having as more and more great missions are being created and flown with these masterpieces. So is SDOE online dead? Not a Chance! ------------------ IP: Logged

Werner Molders JAG	posted 08-21- 08:51 AM Chatting with Harman last night on ICQ... Once the Crew's work comes to fruition and GP2 is released I'll have the prerequisites I need to go ahead with something online that I've been wanting to do for a very long time now, ever since SDOEwar.

nealg Pilot	posted 08-21- 11:49 AM Just a quick observation here, as I have recently been trying to get back to flying online ( largely because of the PP6.1 and patch .9 ); I check TS's server page constantly. I noticed last night that the main page isn't updating ( it still showed date of Aug 18th ), but - if you click on the individual link ( i.e., california12 or whatever ) it takes you to the updated information. I was wondering why it kept saying 1 game in last 24 hours - I knew there had been more than that. So, do a quick double check if you are using that page. ------------------ nealg=FC= IP: Logged
Condor Pilot	posted 08-21- 01:12 PM Spanky, Trust me, online will be crowded again very soon as the cooler weather and longer nights set in. ------------------ Condor out IP: Logged
weasel Pilot	posted 08-21- 07:12 PM Just finished a game online. I have found that patch 1.5 w 1.5.2.9 w Nations V2 w pp 6.0 w pp 6.1 and even w wwi p2 is usually what works for me. Sure there is some confusion starting out but onece you settle in to one flavor it is worth it. I am patiently waiting for 'the crew' to release a new standard. It is my hope that 'the dime' project will be included. With a little patience, SDOE will be alive and well this fall. (Man, that is going to cut into my deer hunting ) Cheers... weasel IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 08-21- 10:51 PM Well I sure hope so guys, We really have to get this whole online standard figured out before the fall sets in though. IP: Logged
Grandcharles Pilot	posted 08-22- 02:12 PM hi all I 've just played online with 7/JG3 Galland (a good pilot) monday from 21:30 to 22:30 GMT (pp6.1 and 1.5.2.9 patch). I think SDOE online is not dead. I have a 20 Go HD and two install, one wirh pp6.0 and the other with pp6.1 and patch 1.5.2.9 I have all the beat I can download, I just rename my aircraft folder before going online (less than 15 seconds to do). SO I can fly all the planes I want offline and have fun flying online in the same night. IP: Logged
