They do give me what I want, but their server requires HFSX to play. It is going to take me a long while before I can finish download it. So I was just wondering if anybody play online game without HFSX, I am thinking maybe go there as a Mercenarie and play with them for a while untill I finish download HFSX.

Hello again, one of the Dogz (FoolTrottle) runs the UbiZoo co-ops using 4.11 on a Saturday night 7:30 ish UK time look in this thread for details http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...o-Coops/page14
I think that Giap use HSFX due to their fondness of SEOW. Maybe I can talk the Dogz into doing another with the Giap

Thanks mate. And sorry to bother you like this, but one more question, how can I find out my IP address for my friend to play online game with me?

If you've got any kind of router or wireless setup this will give you the wrong number. Follow the previous post and the link will show you the IP address that your friend needs to know.

Then again, you need to make sure that your router (if you have one) opens up port 21000. See the documentation for your equipment on how to do that.

Hi, guys. For some reason I can't connect. I did find my IP address from the http://www.whatsmyip.org/
But every time when I host a game, by friend will always get a "please wait" message. And everytime when he host, after a few seconds of "please wait", it will pop a message says :"attempt connection to remote computer fail, reason: time out". Please help!!

We did put our address in like XXX.XXX.XX.X:21000

Do we need anything else? Do we need to change 21000?

Open port 21000udp

Use the link below and select your router, once you are on the next web page, click the top right corner " Click here to skip this advertisement... " .

Select IL2 Forgotten Battles from the list of games and follow the instructions.

Thanks for your patient help sir. But what is a router? There are a bunch of them, and since I have no idea what does it mean, I decided its better to ask you first before I do anything stupid that will make me regret later.

If you are not the person who originally put it together then get them to assist you with Router passwords etc.

Meanwhile have a look at this to familiarize yourself.
