Client has to click one of flags first to chose side and make airfield selection possible. Did you try this?

To make flags clickable you have to allow side switching in difficulty settings. If you have side switching off you can not click a flag or an airfield.

I will try to run one of offline missions online as a coop later this week when I have time.

BTW there is no much difference between dogfight and coop any more and scripting is no required to run a simple online mission.

I can add that if a mission has some "coop" airgroups placed on an airfield AND a spawn point at the same airfield you can not select a "coop" aircraft because list of these aircraft is not visible before you create any other aircraft and hit ESC. This bug/limitation is reported.

Both flags are available for the Client to click on but afterwards they do not get a list of planes and are not able to click on the airbase.

Thanks for your interest and help,

Thanks! We appreciate the help. Our small group has been trying to figure this out, and so far no luck.

Best wishes.

Sorry, it appears I can not reproduce this as I do not have external IP address now. Anyone knows how to start a dedi server in Lobby instead of Server room?

Report this in bug threads with screenshots please. If you can make screenshots of both host and client at the same time showing the client issue I will repost them at sukhoi.ru forums in online bugs thread http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/showthrea...t=68697&page=8

upd. Another idea is make sure you do not accidentally check a "Player" checkbox in any aircraft properties. In that case only the host would fly as if it was an offline mission. To quickly check it, try flying the mission offline, if you get into a cockpit then this aircraft's "Player" checkbox is checked. Uncheck it.

Again host must press "Battle" to start the battle before others can select planes as far as I understand it.

It looks like some people are flying coops successfully already http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=26483

Thanks

Sorry, did not see your message earlier. Repka restarts map every 12 hours.

When creating a new mission make sure you remember where you save it. Try saving all the missions to C:\Users\%user%\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Multi\Dogfight for instance. Launch them from this same folder.

It appears that in the current beta coop works only on small maps, not the Channel map as discussed here http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...t=23997&page=7

A temporary workaround is suggested.

Repka Steppe mission is attached.
