Does MP actually work?

[Jabo2009]

hi,

though it has been mentioned many times, I still couldnt find a tutorial here how to get the online play running:

Ticked all the aircraft switching boxes (5-6 boxes) to OFF, so that its possible to change a/c.

when on multiplayer I still dont get a single server indicated... game searches for about 30 sec. and then "No Server found" message appears...

PLS ! give me some input on this issue.

PS: antivir is deactivated

cheers

When you want to join an existing server use Multiplayer.... Client and pick from one of the servers listed (be sure that the 'Source' drop-down box is set to 'Internet'). If none appear, close 'Client' and try again (a known bug).

When you want to create your own server use Multiplayer...Server. Give your server a 'Name' (any name will do), maybe add some 'Info' like "Testing", enter a Password if you want to password protect your server, set the Max Players you want on the server, set Realisms and click OK. Now you should have a list of missions/campaigns available down the left hand side of the next screen. If not, use the orange gunsight symbols (top left) the same way you would use folder symbols in Explorer to navigate up and down the folders until you find the Dogfight and Co-Op folders and their sub-folders. Highlight the mission you want to run and click 'Select'. At the 'map room' screen click 'Start Battle', it will load, you will be in it and others will see it on the 'Client' list. Well, that's the theory.

Works for me.

Hi Jabo,

There's a bug if you reinstall the game you'll lose all your server lists.

To fix it, go to the MP section and start your own server. You usually only have to have it up for a few seconds. Then go back to the client section and the servers should show up for you again.

10/10 Atag ! this worked perfectly, got server list immediatley...joined one for test...but couldnt get to fly...

after I joined one server I had the player list and and the online map...but how can I spawn after I selected a plane? there was no "fly" button or smthg, just a record track button.....??

Above the player lists there's a flag. Choose a flag to pick your side. After that, you should be able to click on an airfield on the side you chose. From there you can choose the plane you want and the load-out for it. The "create" button under your plane choice on the right hand side of the screen will spawn you in.

After you've landed, crashed, died , you'll need to click on an airfield again and use create to spawn again.
