Check key config, you can map a key to either toggle or show server information, such as who's on, what side, what plane, ping, etc.

To create a new chat window, right-click (once in the cockpit) the screen adn a context menu will show, select new info window to create a.. window. lol.. then right click the new window and select customize, and add teh chat again.

Since the new patch, the map that first appears in the multiplayer screen seems to stay the same whatever mission I load (ie it's the Jurassic park I think, and if I load a mission using the carrier wars map, the map remains the Jurassic park one still).
Did anyone notice that?

Seeing a server in the MP window for the first time, took a while to appear though.

very hit and miss.... anyone found a trick to ensure better results ?
