Hi, can anyone point me in the direction of some info, because I'm having difficulty finding it:
1. Is there a 'how to build multiplayer missions' tutorial about? I could always download pre-built ones, any suggestions for a good place to do so?
Same as you make a single player mission, only you have to assign a flight per player - you can't make a single flight of 4 available to everyone sadly. Other than that just set each players plane to "client" instead of a skill and job's a good en.
2. Don't spose there's a dedicated server is there?
I'm nagging the developers for one
3. What's the network utilisation like, ie. how many players could I realistically host on a 1Mb (256k up) line?
Blinkz has the same connection and hosted 6 without any lag. Set the server to 10Mb LAN, and everyone connects on 56k modem rates
4. What's the deal with multiplayer carrier take-offs and in-flight refuelling - do they work in 1.01 or not?
Set the takeoff time 1 minute after one another on a carrier else you all spawn at the same time in the same place and explode. Refuelling does work but the baskets don't appear on client screens until you've connected - it works since you can refuel by flying the cues on the HUD till you connect but it's very difficult and not for n00bs.
Sorry for the abundance of questions, but am having trouble finding the answers! Hope you can help.
Cheers
