Restarts, Weather and Support
The server restarts every four hours. Each mission advances the in-game date and uses recorded historical weather near Kobuleti for the selected date and time.
When are restarts?
Restarts occur at 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 20:00 server time and usually take about ten minutes. Warnings appear at 30, 15, 5 and 1 minutes in game and Discord. Use -timeleft in DCS chat for the current countdown.
Land and unload before the server goes down: a delivery still in the air does not complete, although persistent world state remains stored.
What conditions should I expect?
Time of day rotates through seven slots, moving by one slot per real day. The in-game calendar starts on 1 January 2022 and advances one day per restart, so seasons and day length change over the campaign. Check the mission briefing for the generated METAR, visibility, cloud base, wind and pressure.
