my suggestion for a better HL (hey, I´ve an idea) ... tada: "The Old School Room" without Ultra Pack, HSFX or the Stewardess mod - just for official version users - what do you think?

Would probably split the community up more than it already is.Maybe a Titled "old school server" would be a good idea.Try talking to a few m8's and see if they can put one up.

what is the Stewardess mod ? i never heard of it before

I don t want to split anything but I want to remember all that there are over 300 planes flyable you do not need any mod to have fun. Did you ever host a mission and click start: you are loosing more than 40 % of those who might have joined ... the answer is 4.10.m anything else is killing the game!

I do know what I am saying, I was the first kuebelwagen race champion vs jeep ...

Hi

FG

The thing to do is host v4101 CooPs as much as possible.

One main problem is the DF servers dictate the first contact with many new pilots.

" I cant join x server, where do I get MDS ?"

Then the Ultra Pack links come forth and another one is lost to the murky world of mods.

I used to run UP v201 simply for the maps available under the mods, but no longer use UP but do use HSFX for the Cannons Channel map CooP's I host occasionally.

Zuti (moving dogfight server) is not interested in CooPs and apparently is supporting DF MDS only in UPv3 RC4.

There's too many CooP bugs with RC4.

So Host more V4101 CooPs and stay out of the mod servers and they will return to the Stock Game .................................... well there's wishful thinking for you Smile

"Old school room" - very unattractive name! I would not spend a minute in that Smile

Let's face it, majority of players want fast action --> Dogfight --> Mods.

Then there are the fewer co-op players, who are intelligent enough to switch between versions as required.

So there is no way to go back to the past to get the maximum out of this old game.

The hope I have are in the future Team Daedalos versions, which are including popular mods and cater for both DF and Coop crowds, increasing the overlap and mobility. That way the new TD versions (4.11, and hopefully 4.12) is rounding up the community from the back-end, and brings us to the future, which is much better than going back to school Smile

If they would ever put in a mod for joining a co-op game while mission in progress, that would probably allow a lot of fast-action guys to attend more co-ops. THAT would be the best ever mod for uniting the community.

Unfortunately CooPs with fast action guys are not that welcomed to be honest as they usually pull out of the take off stream on runway proceed to go go full blast down the perry track taxiway and immediately go straight to the scene of the accident taking out innocent pilots.

CooP with selectable AI in game would be better, if you got shot down and could take over an AI aircraft in better condition once you had landed or bailed out.

The reason I host CooPs is to get rid of the idiots that ignore the briefings and waypoints and simply fly to die, not flying in a CooP manner.

Yes, exactly this is what IL-2 needs, but I would not forbid this from pilots that just join the mission.
Lots a games can (re-)spawn you right into an ongoing battle in a smooth way, it's about time IL-2 to do the same!
