Rob,

 

Both pilot list and chat rely on Nasal, while the mp aircraft itself does
not. Any sign of a nasal error in the terminal? Could be very early in the
start-up.

Hi again...

Recall a few weeks ago when I joined a MP group of about six planes, but
could only see up to four of them at a time.  I wondered aloud if this was a
RAM issue, related to scenery loading problems, but we seem to have ruled
that out.

This morning at around 0200UTC another user and I were to meet at KNZY (San
Diego North Island Naval Air Station) to do a little for-fun dogfight
practice.  Both of us were on mpserver02.  He was using one of Dave Culp's
F4s and I was in the CVS A6E.  However, although I could see his plane, he
was not in the pilot list and I could not communicate with him.  Several
resets did not alleviate this.


I was using the Win32 build from Fred's site dated 20090627.  Reverting to a
build from 20090523 alleivated the problem.

Is it possible that something in the last six weeks has "partially broken"
Multiplayer?

Cheers,
-R. (MD-Terp)
