Hi
Firstly to answer some of your questions, assuming you are
not running a dedicated server.
If you launch a server without Hyperlobby or other software just from the IL2 1946 exe then its hidden from the public.
Players to join the server would need the IP and port number that you are hosting on, they can join via ip this way.
A few things to do when hosting the way you want to.
1. Open port 21000 udp in your firewall.
2. Your IP will need to be given to the clients that want to join. You can find your IP here >>

All you need to do is start your IL2 1946 and select Dogfight or Coop mode launch the mission/map.
Clients would join on your ip and port,
for example: Start IL2 1946>Multiplay>Join Server>77.888.444.33:21000
