Thanks for this, but what if I just want to play with my buddy? If I join an existing server there'll be others there too shooting me down left right and centre.

You might try creating a game in the lobby instead of the server.Also you can password protect your game.
Also the host must open port 27016.

Thanks Troll,

We did try using the lobby, but without any luck ... but you may well have the answer with that port number. Will check that and report back. If only the manual gave some proper instructions on all this!

Also, in the server options window, there's a panel called 'Parts' with core.100 and bob.100 in it, with options to add and remove them. What on earth are these?!?

Cheers

Steam may need other ports open as well. Check Steam server FAQ in case you have problems yet or just open all ports for BOTH steam and launcher.exe.

OK, we had some limited success last night. It turned out that the main problem was that I had selected all the 'cannot switch plane' etc items in the Realism menu. Once these were unticked, my buddy and I were at least able to fly online together, but only on others' existing servers. Still no joy in either of us setting up a Lobby or a Server.

Also, I find the whole multiplayer GUI confusing and unintuitive. You have to discover things, like clicking on flags or airfields on the map, just by clicking around.

One thing we did notice was that when we could finally select a mission, we each had a different set of missions available, from the stock game. For example, I had Spitfre Training 05, but my buddy didn't and we suspect that is why he couldn't join my game when I selected that mission. Likewise, he had Spitfire Training 02, but I didn't.

For the brief time we were flying together, I noticed that the aircraft label did not have the name of the player in it, like it used to in IL2 1946. Is there any way of changing that?

All very unsatisfactory this MP. Poor/limited manual explanation and confusing/unintuitive GUI. Lots of room for improvement here.

Doh! It was so long ago, I had forgotten. You are quite right Cheesehawk. Those missions are part of a mission pack called "Spitfire Dawn" which I downloaded. Ah well, at least that explains that then!! Still, that shouldn't prevent me loading up one of those training missions for me to fly online, right?

Yes, I suspect that may be the problem. I'll get there one day, but the war may be over by then! Thanks for the help.
