Nice to see you having fun with IL2.
Other people would have to be flying the exact same patch as you to be compatible online, and you failed to mention that.
The original IL2 was not anything prior to IL246, but it was prior to Forgotten Battles, and there is a special room on Hyperlobby for it and usually a server running for the original IL2 patched up to version 1.2.
The last patch for the original IL2, version 1.2, came out in September 2002, and Forgotten Battles came out early in 2003 and it's patches started over again numerically at 1.1, 1.21 etc..
AEP brought Forgotten Battles up to 2.0, then Pacific fighters 3.0 and 4.0. The Pe-2 add-on took it up to 4.05.
Of course before the original IL2 there were two versions of a Demo, and Hyperlobby had a room to fly the IL2 demo at one time. The original IL2 Demo was very, very complete and amazing for a beta flight sim! It came out in August 2001.
