I see multiplayer is still in beta then...

Eventually manage to direct connect to a mate's server...

Spawn? Oh no, you have to 'create'. And it 'creates' in a closed hanger.

*boom*

Try again, no, closed hanger...*boom*

So apparently the team that wrote the most successful multiplayer flightsim in history can't do multiplayer anymore? I suppose it'll be fixed around the time my game stops stuttering over the channel. I should probably apologise to my squadmates for the stream of obscenities they've just been subjected to.

I agree the server browser and multiplayer needs some love.. I'm sure a lot of people are eager to play on-line, such as myself.

The browser is incredibly slow, and at times will not find a server that you know damn well is up. Direct connect can solve that, but that's not good enough really.

There certainly should be spawn timer's or a trigger of some kind so that you don't spawn on top of another player, blowing them up.

It needs work, yep.

Im damned if I understand how to connect to a server. I see a server up, connect and then I go to a screen where im asked to choose an army and a plane. having done so I have no idea if i can join or not if the other players can see me or anything. I admit im a noob and feel i must be doing something wrong but what it is i have no idea. This has got to be one of the most frustrating new games i have ever owned, dunno why im sticking with it but i am determined to see an online game one day.

When you join a server you'll see a map. A few icons along the bottom.

You first have to choose a side via top left.

On the map, click one of the airfields until it's highlighted with a red circle.

This then should give you options on teh right to select squadron, plane, etc. Scroll down and you'll see create.

Hope that helps.
