ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
The Main Multiplayer Menu screen is composed of the Server List, the Connection Type
drop-down menu, the Connect By IP button, the Refresh and New Search buttons, and
the four system buttons at the bottom of the menu to direct you to other windows.
Server List
The Server List displays all available servers and takes up the majority of the screen.
The Server List is designed to show all detected Servers running the game over the
Internet or a LAN. Each row of the Server List represents a different server. Each
column in the Server List provides different information about each Server. The
columns include:
Padlock symbol. This column will be marked with a padlock symbol if the server
is password protected.
Server Name. The name of the server is listed in this column.
Mission Name. The title of the mission being run on the server.
Players. Maximum number of players allowed on the server and current number
on it.
Game time. How long the mission has been running.
Ping. The connection latency between the player and the server. Lower numbers
equate to a better Ping number.
Below the Server list is the mission Description field, which displays a description of the
mission being run by the selected server.
At the bottom of the Server List are the Refresh and the New Search buttons. The
Refresh button will refresh the data for the servers currently in the server list. The New
Search button will check the net for new servers and update existing ones on the Server
List.
Lower Bar
EXIT. The Exit button will exit Multiplayer and return you to the main menu or
the desktop.
NEW SERVER. The New Server window allows you to host a mission that other
players (clients) can join.
OPTIONS. The Options window allows you to create the Player Name that
others will see you as in a mission and set your connection speed.
JOIN. After you have selected a server from the Server List, press the JOIN
button to join the server.
