JABO2009 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 just went through the MP servers and couldnt hardly find any MP servers featuring the community A4 Mod , any explanation why ?

razo+r Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Because if a server puts that mod in it would force everyone who doesn't have the mod to download it otherwise they can't join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_19d Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Another thought, having it installed causes issues with IC as reported across the forum and most people won’t play on a public server without IC. A private server among a group of friends that wants to use the A4 is of course something different.

Maverick87Shaka Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Absolutley, Integrity Check is a must ( when works :D ) for a public server. We have already a lot of problem with rubber banding, lags, poor performance, nobody wants see also a "free cheating" server just for play A4 mod. It's a great mod, and sometimes we do some private session with that, but no intention at all to put on public server.

Alpenwolf Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'll add the F-4 to my server the second the IC issue is sorted out. I believe many servers will do that too, so you'll have enough places to fly the F-4. Maybe ED is working on it, who knows.

Varis Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 It's a very new module so many players don't have it yet. Also there could be some issues that get sorted out in the first few weeks after the release. Servers that run it could easily lose new and casual players, too.

IceFire Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 We used it but again, it required everyone to have it as well as constantly keep it up to date. Even those with no interest in an A4. If it was made to not be required I'd be happy to put some in but once it's server side it's required, unfortunately.

cercata Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I'll add the F-4 to my server the second the IC issue is sorted out. Any chances that issue will be sorted out one day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC_Official Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Any chances that issue will be sorted out one day ? if ED added the 3rd module to core then it people would not be forced to run it .....

QuiGon Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I'll add the F-4 to my server the second the IC issue is sorted out. I believe many servers will do that too, so you'll have enough places to fly the F-4. Maybe ED is working on it, who knows. That's great to hear and I don't think there will be any IC issues when BSK/ED finally releases the F-4, after it got pushed back in favor of the F-16. But what about the A-4? ;) Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Nero.ger Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 what excatly is this IC issue anyway? even befor 1.03 came out you could happyly have the A4 installed and join any Protected server with the green shield. 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auger Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Would like to see more servers with the A-4. It's a fun plane to fly, especially for a new or casual flyer. It's my first clickable jet and I don't find the work load of flying it and attacking ground targets to be overwhelming. Just the right amount of fun/work... for now.

Pikey Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 As a server admin, i'm gutted it's a mod. The whole mod route is fairly spoiled by folks that don't want to mod and call it witchcraft and blame it for things it doesn't do (but does actually in some cases) But until that day, I cannot have a Skyhawk on the server and I want it. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanoDJr Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 If you want to fly the A4, I'd highly recommend checking out CSG-1 though I don't fly with them anymore. They have a great dedicated A4 group as of a month or two ago. Check them out. They have a server if you search it. I'm sure if you post here someone will contact you with the password.

JABO2009 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Im searching the server list over and over for Servers including the A4 mod, but no joy so far !! come on , let turn and burn JESTER vs MAVERICK & GOOSE , we have all the tools ( A4 mod / F14 / Nevada) so lets use them ! I hosted a public server recently with A4 / F5 vs F14B but not a single player joined ..

Boris Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 How would people be able to join a server hosting the A-4 without having the files? It would severely limit the audience of public servers.

Auger Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I have to wonder why anyone would not want the A-4. So much fun to fly and it packs a punch, but the best part is, it's FREE. I'm really surprised it's not more popular, but then I'm pretty new to DCS. Luckily I've found a couple non PW servers that have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino Might Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Do we want to do a Petition to Ed that we want it in Default dcs? I suspect anyone who has flown it wants that to be the case, but moving it to core game involves a host of legal, marketing, and PR issues.

Tirak Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 It cannot be done. Licensing agreements with the original model maker and the like means that the Community A-4E-C team cannot turn it over to ED for full implementation, even if ED were inclined to do so.

dFlow Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 good point. at least it would be great help if ED would take the external model into the product, so that the mod is not neccessary for joining servers featuring this plane i know this all would need a lot of work, but it would show that the community has a worth to ED And it would help a lot if the IC wouldn't kick me off servers because of the mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F900EX Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) It cannot be done. Licensing agreements with the original model maker and the like means that the Community A-4E-C team cannot turn it over to ED for full implementation, even if ED were inclined to do so. This ^^^, the A4 Mod team did an amazing job there, maybe the best mod to date when it comes to Aircraft, but therein lies the problem a mod this good can't be used on the MP open servers, (where I would spend most of my time) and for that reason I wish to some extent it was developed via the current 3rd party vendors. Again no disrespect to the A4 team, I wish there was an easier way for their A4 would make it to DCS but for the above reasons and I'm sure ED could give you it will never see the light of day on open servers.

MadMaxter Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 VNAO CVW-7 and CVW-14 runs it most days and keeps it up to date. But we do remove it when it breaks, as it has a couple of times. It is a good mod. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Proud founder of VNAO and current deck jockey with VFA-103:pilotfly::pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not some sort of digital god. The A4 does not belong to them. They have zero say in what happens with it. The A4's developers, literally in the opening post, explicitly stated they do NOT want to do any of these things. They also stated they do not have the resources or time to bring it up to ED's standards. It's a very nice mod, extremely nice as many of the labor of love projects are, but it is in the end a fan made mod. Making it into a module would pretty much require a ground up rebuild.

dFlow Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 by all that work and coffee and blood that went into this mod, it would be a shame that it couldn't be used in a senseful manner IC is the main hurdle in my eyes and as long this is not sorted out, there is no real appeal for multiplayer flying with it installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
