direct connect game for friends

[Deacon352nd]

Since there is no info in the manual concerning making a direct connection game for myself and few friends to fly on, does anyone here have detailed instructions on doing just that. I've tried unsuccessfully many times to make one but it is very frustrating.
A detailed set of instructions for making a mission like in IL2 from which your friends can join in on would go a long way to satisfying a number of my members in the 352ndFG. Thank you in advance to anyone who responds to this thread.
