getting in the air quickly

I'm thinking of Hyperlobby, which is an external utility. From the lobby you can choose a multiplay game and this utility will then automatically start your IL2 game and connect to the proper server. So my guess is that it is possible to start IL2 in some kind of automated way, but I don't know how it's done..

Anybody out there that knows this?

Could someone get someone from 1C to talk with this guy? Surely they would do a little mod for this; I can't see it being too hard. Oleg is v interested (I think) in these sort of applications. It can only help, surely? Might get a bunch of sales.

I agree, this is a really big deal, having Pacific Fighters running on the Lexington! Someone needs to alert Oleg ASAP and see if he can have someone take a little time to work with these guys!

Somewhere down here we have AFAIK, 2 fully functional CPits - One me109 and and a Hurricane. I'm hoping to reestablish contact so that I can link the two when BoB comes out.
It'll be something like a travelling museum at airshows

Does your kiosk have room for another box? If so, set up a dedicated server with IL2SC or FBDaemon doing mission rotation. Then there is no issue for picking missions or selecting difficulty settings, only picking aircraft and flying.

A dedicated server machine doesn't have to be nearly as capable as a client machine. For a start, it doesn't need a 3D graphics card...

We already have 4 machines in the Kiosk. 3 of them will be dedicated to this game (1 is for a USS Lexington related trivia game). We were planning on have two of them networked and used as a 2 player game and the last of them used as a single player game. Any ideas on how to do this using our current machines?

Yeah, the best solution would be a dedicated server for the online play. That would mean you would use the third machine for the server or -if that PC has a dual core- you could combine the IL2 server and Il2 game on one machine since I don't think the dedicated server will need much processing time with only two players.

How?

You will need to install it seperately and apply the latest patch. With a script you can have the server run all day, automatically restarting the game. You could also rotate a few missions all the time for variety. The two networked PC's will only need to connect once -at the start of the day- and then do not need attendance, provided that no-one exits the game (prevent using the esc key? ).
