It works for me. I think it is worth including installation readme into the archive. I followed the instructions carefully step by step and could fly even offline missions in coop-mode (as host).

Some inconveniences I experienced:

- long lists of aircraft. Is it possible to add a structured submenues, e.g. first select Bf-109/He-111, then select airgroup and then aircraft (or airfield location and then aircraft)

- long missions list. Same as above, folder structure would help I think. Or do not list all the mission but only those placed in missions/IL2COOP/coop_missions/... (subfolders possible).

- confusing aircraft names. Internal BoB aircraft names are frightening to users I think (or airgroups names - whatever shows in menu now is less user-friendly even than CloD GUI ).

- "stop battle" did not stop the flight, but then "start battle" started a new mission (after selecting one). Thus it is possible to fly multiple coops without the need to exit to 2D GUI and reload the map again then.

- "3. Not ready" is not consistent with above 2 points which show status, not command. Maybe change to "3. Status: Ready. Select again to change."

What happens if 2 players select the same aircraft simultaneously? Can the script handle it?

Thank you for your hard and careful work.


@ All
Could you please upload your favourite coop missions or offline missions that are more or less balanced and therefore can be played as coops for testing. maybe in a new separate thread.

The fact that any offline mission can be flown as coop with this script is very encouraging.
