Hyperlobby Server normally WOV now

[+streakeagle 871]

SFP1 fell to zero flying activity, so I have finally stopped switching between hosting SFP1 and WOV every day. I do have a copy of Strike Fighters Gold now. I am willing to host SFP1 or SFG by special request. Just contact me via the forum or email me to set up time.

Every day from 25 Mar and later is WOV, except by special request.

Wednesday (23 Mar) was SFP1 & WOV

Sunday (20 Feb) was WOV.

Saturday (19 Feb) was SFP1 and had a great turnout in the evening.

 

Both servers are clean installs with the latest official patches and addons (no mods of any kind

!):

Service Pack 3, F-4J, and A-4F for SFP1

Patch 1 for WOV.

This has proven to be the best setup for attracting useful numbers of players.

 

However, I use all hard settings, so my servers aren't very friendly to new players who rely on icons and don't know how to handle the F-100, F-4, and F-104 at high angles of attack. Perhaps this is a mistake on my part since easier settings might be dramatically more popular like the mod-free installs. But I reserve the right to be selfish: as long as I find people showing up and flying with me, I'm not going to make things any easier. Hosting SFP1/WOV mutliplayer is no fun for me if I can't enjoy it. I would like to put the "sim" back in "flight sim". If others start providing hosts with icons and normal or easy settings, I am sure some if not most online players will migrate to those "arcade" servers. But for now, I am rid of the silly icons and easy flight models that I absolutely despise ;)
