II./JG 1 now has a dedicated server for IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover called "II./JG 1: das Adlernest." The server is listed in the server list by going to Multiplayer | Client and viewing the servers.
Currently we are running a mission modelled after the escape from Dunkirk, "Operation Dynamo," graciously provided to the community by TheEnlightenedFlorist on the 1C boards. It is a fairly simple mission, with various UK missions: Such as Hurricanes patrolling Dunkirk high and low. Defiants defending the ships. Various ground units are trying to move to the port. Trains are bringing troops into the city from the south. And of course, Anti-Aircraft is defending the city and airfields.
He's a pillar of the Cliffs of Dover community, providing help to whomever needs it. With this mission he created, it's been a wealth of information on how to create and manage random sub-missions. And it's been quite a trick to play.
For right now during testing, I have the number of units set pretty low to ensure smooth server operations. The Hurricane flights (4 flights) are set to spawn only two aircraft per flight. The Defiant flight is set to spawn 3 aircraft in a single flight.
The German flights consists of 3 Ju 88 flights, 1 110 flight, and three 111 flights, each spawning 6 aircraft at a time.
Every 39 minutes, a new random flight is spawned in. Every 27 minutes, a new patrolling flight is spawned in. Every 2 hours the ships set out for England and must be stopped. Every hour, the ground units are refreshed. And every 41 minutes are the train switches direction.
Join II./JG 1: das Adlernest today! Located in the IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Multiplayer menu under Client.

Great Job ! I always thought 1C did not release any dedicated server files for IL2 CloD until now !? Is there any documentation available how to setup dedicated server ?

Very handy AND I can actually join it! Any way we can also get a dedicated 1946 server?

@GFC Christian
The dedicate server has been with the game since it was released. It's hasn't been noticeable since there hasn't been a separate download. But rest assured, its a dedicated server.
To see it in action right click the game title in your steam library and choose properties. Then click Set Launch Options and add '-server' without quotes. This will start IL-2 Cliffs of Dover in dedicated server mode.
The only documentation is the forums over at 1C, forum.1cpublishing.eu/forumdisplay.php?f=189.
These two threads are about the issues I had.

Re: II./JG 1: das Adlernest IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Dedicated Server
I like the server. I have been flying it almost everyday this week getting used to the new CEM settings. I would like to make one recommendation though, uncheck the Anthropomorphic controls in the realism settings. It does not work correctly for some users(me) in that my throttle, rad, orad, and TIR controls on my HOTAS will lock up for a few minutes at a time. I have aslo been flying on Syndicates' server and have had no control lock ups. They have the Anthropomorphic controls unchecked. Doing some research on the forums seems to suggest there is a problem with this feature.

@Grangest
Actually, there is nothing wrong with Anthropomorphic controls. The problems that people have are related to how they are setting up their controls and how 'twitchy' they are. I am writing another post concerning this topic so keep your eyes out.
