Kicked from Server?

[AndyJWest]

Thanks, SEE.
HL gives me a ping of 48, according to the server selection screen, and I'm UK based too. That should be fine.

If the ping is erratic, rather than persistantly bad, I'd suspect a problem with the phone line, or just a crappy internet service provider (BT have a lousy reputation on this, for example).

And yes, there is a lot to learn if you want to get the most out of IL-2. Don't forget you are doing it for fun though, so don't feel obliged to learn everything straight away (it can't be done, I don't think anyone knows everything anyway...)
