FORMATION FLIGHT CHALLENGE server

@GTFreeFlyer,

I went looking for the server this weekend. I am running the latest Open Beta.

I searched for "Formation Flight Challenge" in the multiplayer server list, but no hits.

 

Let me know. I am curious to see how it all flows in multiplayer.

 

Cheers

Wonderfull. It worked. I will be sure to try it out more and use it for practice on different planes.

Thanks!

Server is back up! I've had a long summer filled with lots of work travel which prevented me from keeping this server going. It is back and this weekend only earn 3x points and move up the ranks quicker!

 

 

Moving forward, I'll have this up on the weekends only. The kids are home doing online schooling during this pandemic and require all the bandwidth during the week.

 

 

Cheers!

New Tacview replay from a flight today.  It was quite fun flying with a bunch of good pilots and hitting our slots quickly.  https://youtu.be/PE0la1VA1RM

Hi GT,

 

I have seen that the server is weekends only. I assume it is your time zone, so from Europe I will be able to see it online in the afternoon hours. 

Correct?

 

I am a new BuDs member, no multiplayer experience yet and I wanted to sharpen my skills with the formation flying challenge before going more serious online.

 

Thanks.

It's back!  I checked last night to make sure it was working with 2.7.  Enjoy, and let me know if you experience any issues.  Cheers!

After a long hiatus, the server is back!  I will now be working from home for the next year+. so I'll try to keep it running as much as possible.  Hop in and enjoy!

Realize I am very late to this party.  I don't fly multiplayer so this is a learning experience for me.  Am I searching correctly?

As you can see my search resulted in no servers.  Is this server still operational?  I was going to try and create a mission that does something similar so I could practice formation flying whenever I wanted.  This server seems to be just the thing I was after.  And if I can meet some other DCS folks, great!

Server has been down for a little while.  It is off and on.  If it's ever down when you want to try it out, shoot me a message.  It's running today, and I'll try to be better about keeping it running during US Pacific awake hours.  Cheers!
