Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.

you're thinking about is82_dr2 final; a map supposedly made to match up with 1.9: a year or so ago it was planned that way. In this map, it removes the 'cap the end and round ends'. As I feel about it, I do not believe 1.9 needs to change the original dr2 flag capturing

either the round ends and someone wins..or people noob for the rest of the round. Which way do you want it?
That's kinda harsh don't you think? Everyone (yes everyone) was a newbie at some point. It takes time to learn to do maps. By experts capping the flag and basically ending the game (like on deathrace), you risk the beginers leaving the game and thus lowering the population of the server(s).
I know quite a bit of the races don't have this cap issue, but then again those are stunt maps that are more or less designed for experts with a very few (stress very) stunt tracks that can be done by most anyone. And some racing maps that are pretty much a bore fest (like Camber Sands).
To be honest, if you want someone to learn how to do these tracks, maybe you should get them to ride along with you. Can't tell you how many times I rode along with Ala Meat Head and learned a few tracks to the point I can finish some hard ones (though still takes a bit of time). Otherwise people are going to have to practice in a empty server and I don't think you want people to wait around for a empty place.
Few days ago when you guys had that tournament (I guess), I was pretty hot under the collar for 2 reasons; My unfortunate bad connection and the same person capping the flag to end the race, which I know led to 2 people saying f-it and leaving as well as myself. It becomes very irratating not being able to finish a race when it's doable, but takes a little more time. If's it's going to be a real tourny, then password it or something when you don't want beginers there slowing the pace.
Maybe this post should be somewhere else, but saw 2 comments that kinda twitched me so thought would make a reasonable response.
I don't mind people noobing.. Those are the choices that's all..
When this mod came out the end cap on deathrace was the thing that made you want to win.. it didnt cause any problems..
but with boats and skydiving, heli's... DR2 and similar become a lot of fun for people to mess around in if the round doesnt end. theres pro's n cons to both.
Disco Fever would be pretty annoying if the round ended on final cap... case by case assesment..?
Soo ?? Why the fuck should I download and reinstall all that shit when your server is ALWAYS empty ?? People only talk shit here but never get online. I thought Interstate project was done..last I remember was version 1.8 then a fixing patch to 1.81

agreed. i uninstalled interstate today. i need to make room for active mods
even still, the site itself isn't entirely to blame. bf42 runs on directx 8, which is very outdated. we need directx 9 programmed in for improvements such as depth of field, shaders, and the list goes on. improved graphics would definitely generate a lot of appeal to the mod, but there's probably very few ppl around that can program directx

There are many factors:
bf1942 is quite an old game not alot of people are interested in playing anymore. And it's the truth.
But the fun comes back when there are many people playing at once. A few weeks ago we had a 2 week run of people on the server everyday. It was quite enjoyable. But the motive ended for reasons unknown.
Yes there is a new release happening, will it bring people back? who knows.
I propose to schedule a 'everyone joins at once' event on a certain time of day on a specific date. To join in on the fun. say wednesday 3:00 or 4:00PM est?
