The Price Of Adimiralty

I'm wondering if I should say anything. .. or just shut up for a bit

You have to keep ez and lw off line as well as SA when you start talking in numbers 30+

The server in total .. will only handle 55 concurrent connections. According to the 'inside scoop' the 55 players is to cover the butt of Hypernia our host. but, they say you can probably get up to 75 players on at one time .. depending on the various game configs. They say .. sometimes the answer is really RAM.

If you do allocate 48, you might as well shut every server down except SNATF ..

Now, personally, I would eat my hat if you have 48 pilots.

If you have 48 pilots on one server .. chances are .. we don't have enough ram for that to run smoothly. I can't say positivly, but I do know I looked into more ram for this ram eating IL2 game :") Ram is a one time cost to us of flat 100.00. I'm not suggesting that more ram will be needed, but I do know more ram will help smooth things out. Gos and I have discussed this once before and we can't justify spending Tides funds for more ram .. or going to the member base and asking for special donations when we can hardly pay the monthly as it is now

I think . .maybe.. you will know the ram issue if you hit15x15. I've seen 21 players on the SA server .. and quickly checking, none of our other servers had any players at that time. There was no apparant performance problems.......

If you can trade notes with anyone that is having 30+ pilots on one server constantly we might get some instant clues, and better insight.

If we are going to need to shut down more than just another IL2 server .. say you shut down the cod cod2 servers .. then we really need to announce this in advance. pre-registration is the key. We should know in advance what the load will be. So for now can we say if you get more than x number of players .. they are told to come back next week , be sure to register .. and why?

Frankly if you got 30 players per week at 15x15 .. man that would be great. I can see easily where SNATF2 could be SUNDAY night at the fights for all that could not fit into SNATF! .. rofl ..

Bolter .. 30 + players .. quick.. grab some more staff!!

Ah ha. We have had at the most at a SNATF 21 participants. I don't really think we will hit that mark this coming SNATF Realistically I expect perhaps 15 total.

I am being optomistic since we have announced in 4 new locations. The A-20, 223Ku, 96th CAF and the Ubi forums. Plus another that Gos posted on I believe so that makes 5.

It states in the brief that we'd like people to sign up in advance but most ignore it and show up unanounced. Since we barely get enough pilots we're not in a position to turn away someone because they failed to post in the boards that they were coming.

We're advertising the event but the one best way to get attention is flooding the chat screen of the Hyperlobby and I just don't have time to sit there for hours pasting the text again and again into the field. Any voulenteers?

You may be under a misconception that I am posting to advertise teh SNATF - I did once on the JCF forums but that is not my part of this arrangement - May I suggest that you login to their forums and post. They have a split of european and US Piots and seem well organised.

Gos

PS I will not expand the server slots this week

The statement was directed at Gos who I believe has posted on some forums.

hehe.. ToW AM has an identiy crises .. lol

Gosling = Brinkly = Tow Air Marshal he might even have another sneaky one .. don't know

Hey you know I gte confused with your id sometimes. I see at least two of them here in tides.
