Chuffy's Flying Circus

Lol !!!!!!!!
Typical case of overengineering from my side
Actually thats all I wanted to do. Went through all the hardness of setting up the dedicated server just to learn now its THAT EASY .....
I was really blind. Somehow I thought you could only host coops like that, and that nobody would be able to join once the thing had started.

I am greatly indebted to you, Ted!

Hi Ted!

I am uncertain about what a listening server is. Isn't beeing listening for someone who wants to connect practically the definition of beeing a server? Anyways, this is my first intent to get a dedicated server running, I might well be missing a point....

Hi chaps,

I have successfully set up an IL2 server, to which I can connect and play from other computers in my home network.
However, I cant do so from the PC the server is running on. I know its not the firewall, the problem remains if I switch it off. Also, I have e.g. been able to communicate on that PC from one terminal window to another one using ncat on the udp port I specified in my server confs.ini.
When the server is running and I contact it via ncat on udp 21000, sending some senseless character, it tells me that an open connection was forcibly closed by the remote server, which makes me think the server is receiving connections from localhost.

I am running out of ideas and would greatly appreciate any hint....

the world of computer programs is just magic .... and I know it ....

Next time I get those problems with UP4 I will switch texture compression on.

A little reluctant, though, after spending money to get 4GB of RAM on my graphics card 

....which is just ******************* for someone who was lost some 30 years ago on his first 20 MB hard disk due to the shear unimaginable amount of space on that thing .....

Thx a lot for all your warm words
Looking forward to flying again with you, and hoping to get a little more used to your accents and get to understand perhaps 50%

Hi everybody,

Just registered here a minute ago and would like to introduce myself a little. I am 55 years old now, flying Il2 for almost 10 years now, but not everyday, something like a flight every 2 days. Far from beeing an ace, but not a rookie either.
My english is a little rusty, and I hope you will be able to tolerate my heavy german accent on teamspeak
I am really glad to have found a group of people flying together but not taking things too seriously, looking forward to have some serious fun

Well, for the moment, it seems I have to get UP3 - off for it.
