Maybe you should read your posts through and give it some thought, if they are good PR to get people onto your server?
Yes I said lame, as you made ist sound like what I mentioned was possible on other servers, where impossible. In my eyes that is just blocking and not taking into account what people write.
So thinking of your last little out burst about "Jesus-people" you get the impression you fellows know it all, and everyone else is just too stupid to get that?

Not that that is anything new in the Zoo, but at least I imagine you are hoping people will visit your servers? Do you think they will come when they read your posts the way they have been writen? Give that a thought!

'Yes I said lame, as you made ist sound like what I mentioned was possible on other servers, where impossible.'

Well that's not what I wanted to say, my point was that there can be issues so it's often a compromise, nothing more.

'So thinking of your last little out burst about "Jesus-people" you get the impression you fellows know it all, and everyone else is just too stupid to get that?'

You just made me do the face-palm, that wasn't an outburst it was meant to lighten the tone a bit as things seemed to be getting rather heavy.

BTW The server I mainly use UK2 tends to be full most of the time I play there, often I cant get in at first, so I wasn't really attempting any PR to raise the numbers.

Well may be there where some misunderstandings.
I would leave it at that.

The worst server is Spits_vs_109s, which despite claiming to be a historical server, states right in it's briefs that you will be kicked or banned for attacking enemy airfields, and in fact I was kicked from it for shooting down an enemy aircraft just over his front line because he happened to be a squad-mate of the server administrator....yes, I have track.

No track needed.. I believe you...

This seems to correspond with what I *heard* about that server.
Good voice travels long time, bad gossip even further...
No pun intended of course.

1) 6S.Evil (Ace of the squadron) kicked after killing an admin...
2) 6S.Drigo... the same; strangly I had never been kicked even downing the admins more than once (many times ).. maybe because I had more than 100 hours on that server during that season.
3) Me kicked after I've called the admin lamer: I was in a dogfight in a 190A8 knowing that mission was to end in 1 minute, so I was turning tight (I never do that) to reach firing solution against a SpitfireIX (admin)... he extended the mission time to kill me... so I extended and playing within clouds finally I de-winged him... he stopped the mission then he was at 20m from crashing... just to not give me the kill (recored in stats).
4) Some days after I enter in the server and saw a Spit9 (25lbs?) following and spraying a 190 a 200m of altitude. I go on his six, closing him when he disconnected (listening my engine, damned sound radar) and after some minutes an admin tried to kick me again but he could not write my name in the right way (something like "6S.Manu can't be kicked" appeared more then once)
5) The admin was used to disconnect after been killed... probably to use a bug in the stats system...
6) A lot of pilots I know were kicked for the same reasons... (killing admins)
7) The LAST and the more important: the Sesto Stormo listened the first rumors about MODs, with evidence... Drigo alerted the admin (GR) of the danger and advising him to set CRT on 2 because one of OUR guys tried to enter he game with a modded plane ad was succesfull in doing that (he was testing the security of the server). We were really scared about IL2's future. The admin responded threatening him to ban our squad from his one and to spread the rumor on all the other servers...

Do you know who was that guy who tested the Mod on the server? 6S.Maraz.. who's now one of the Daidalos Team.

Some my young teammates are still flying in that server... I can't fly like I was used to (no time and physical problems, I'm seriously losing my sight and after 9 hours as software developer I can't stand other hours looking for dots) and so I can't rebuke them and take them on UKDed3... they love bombers and warclouds in more an airquake server for them.

I think what sometimes confuses new people about UKded servers is that if you pick an aircraft with a restricted loadout, you get around 20 seconds to refly before you are kicked.

This is included so that more variety on the maps can be used, Mk108's can be locked an so the Me110 can be used in 1942/43 for example.

It really doesnt take long to get used to, but if someone isnt watching the chat bar when they get the warning, then they may **think** they have been kicked by an admin.

OUCH! I feel that even here! You are seeing an eye doctor or at least a good (not 1-hour glasses mill type) optometrist?

Unfortunately I'm suffering from a genetic degenerative retina's disease, there is no treatment yet

I'm losing my FoV on both the eyes: I lost the left eye 5 years ago... now the right one gives me some problem.

The funny thing, if there is one, this is an old people's disease (50-60 years)... I'm 31

Geez, we are coevals...
Sorry to hear that mate, hope they'll figure something out that will help you.

I feel for ya, mate.

My brother was born as my mother had German Measels and as such was partially deaf, blind in one eye and his retina on the other is barely attached.

He is living with the constant fear of blindness too. A bad knock on the head or just old age could see it detach altogther. Hope you can get it sorted. There is certainly hope with stem cells.

Man, that sucks. All the best, hope you make it at least to old mans age of 41.

Sad to hear! Hope that there is some hope for you!
@JtD old mans age 41? I don´t feel like a old man even though I am beyond that age.

God bless your brother, Xiola.. even if personally I don't believe more in him.

Thanks everybody for the nice words. My hope is only on stem cells, even if it could be too late, at least nobody else will suffer this.

Keep some hope, medicine has been getting better and better in less than decade-long strides. Stem cells were not even
heard of not all that long ago by my reckoning but then the 70's doesn't seem like all that long ago either. What can
I say, I have good long-term memory. Hope you get out and see the wonders of nature and women as much as possible.

Are you sure about that? I shot down and later was shot down by a "Ducati" on Skies of Fire a few weeks ago.

As far as admins with a chip on their shoulder go, there is definitely a few around even though most of them are very cool-headed. If an admin is having a bad flying day, and he puts time and effort into a sortie to finally taste some success, and he's almost finished the sortie when you enter a gray-zone in the rules to shoot him down, he might snarl at you a bit. If he doesn't kick or ban you then just shrug it off and smile knowing that you not only shot him down but ****ed him off too.

Yup, that was me. That is why I said I never played on arcade servers. I really hate to cope with those admins on that full real server, you know. Even when I flew on SoF or SoV, I never used external view or wonder woman view. But now, our squad has set up a dedicated server with CRT=2. If you guys have been fed up with those stupid admins and FM/DM/WM hackers, you will be welcomed to join our server.

The server IP is 219.234.95.189. The game version is 4.09m. It is running ETO scenarios. You may need to change you OS language to Chinese (China) temporarily to join our server due to the CRT check.

Forgot to add you can view your stats at stats.jgace.net

I think they are the arch enemies of the Lizard People? They do ride bicycles, in fact the word on the street is that they can cycle on water...
