MP server overload!

[ShaneG_old]

Paul and I had to leave the server today, because nearly 20 people got on and buzzed us like crazy! 

I didn't realize the Simviation FSHost server was so popular.  :-/

Makes me appreciate those 4am-6am est. flights Paul.

I think this one, and the WSPilots one are probably the most reliable servers out there.
I've been buzzed very occasionally too, usually when I'm minding my own business and flying on my own.

Imagine, 20 mad pilots,
in supersonic Cessnas,
all hounding after you,
while complaining that you're flying the hop list,
when they have an entire world to fly in.

That's what it was like.

No shots of the actual hurricane, because there was nothing to see. It went totally gray except for a few rain drops. Even from spot and tower, visibility was completely zero. Here is what it did to my flightpath in the Baron 58:



Was trying to fly the green line. Ended up having to fly the red line. The blue circles show the times when the Baron couldn't hold on and did complete 360's in the wind.

I didn't mind, it was fun. 

And you're right, I wasn't flying, the storm was and I was just trying to go along with it.  I tried to fight it in the begining, but with the Baron, I gave up. My airspeed kept jumping from 390 knots to 57 knots.  I also tried to climb out of it, but no wonder I couldn't. 

I loved the guy's reaction after it was over and I started talking to "The Server." 

Seriously, we need to invite those guys back and do it again.

I just read the chat log from that 'incident' and they were a bit upset.   


I've sent Sam an email about the password, we'll post it here, so members of Simv can easily access it.

Those jokers all found our server using the FSHostSpy program, and none of them were Simviation members.

Had issues with a guy buzzing tonight. He goes by "Your Mom."  I was hoping Shane was online so I could order a hurricane, but no suck luck.

There is now a Password in place to fly on our server!

[ShaneG_old]

I sent the request for the multiple address setup,
and he said as soon as their server Administrator returns,
he would discuss it with him, as there would be a bit of work with firewalls and such to put it into action.

But he didn't say no, so that's a promising sign!
