Servers availability

Havenard · #1 07-13-2012, 12:39 AM

I'm willing to buy a copy of IL-2 Cliffs of Dover, howover theres something that concerns me and I'd like to know first, but couldn't find the answer anywhere.

Right now I play IL-2 1946, which the only source of public miltiplayer servers I know is HyperLobby. According to HyperLobby, there are some tens of servers for IL-2 1946, though the number of players only populate about 3 or 4 of them, and most have an unpleasing lag because they are mostly located in europe.

I know I cant rely on HyperLobby to get a similar statistic about IL-2 CoD, so I'm in the dark about it.

The question is: Is there a good amount of *populated* servers for IL-2 CoD? What about the regions, are there south-american servers?

The most popular is ATAG located in chicago, there are others all around the world running public and doing other stuff like Storm of War Campaigns running more historical stuff and REPKA 4 doing dogfights.

See them all with steam! HL is optional.

O and IL2 Clod is 33% off on steam at the mo!

The problem is that I can only see them on Steam if I buy the game.

I loved HL for 1946, unfortunately you will need to get used to the in-game server system for CloD. As people start finding out that the patches have helped game play, maybe HL will become more popular for CloD?...but for right now....it is all happening within the in-game multi-player server listing system.

Is there a popular server out there, that offers full realism minus the engine management? Yeah, yeah I know it's lame, but I come from Jets so I just wanna worry about the throttle.

Also, can I play online via Steam with the latest Beta Patch without getting problems with the VAC?

Thx, guys!

There are no issues with the beta patches and VAC.
As for the engine management, I would honestly say just start working on it now, if you go with less than full real it will be just a matter of time before you switchover, so take the jump now. Besides if you fly an 109 E4 you only need to use the throttle and boost after an initial adjustment to the oil Rad, water Rad and auto prop pitch.

hopefully after the game gets patched and more stable you will see servers in Hyperlobby.Truth of the matter is there are only 1 or 2 populated servers in CloD (ATAG and Repka)there are 2 servers in hyperlobby atm .one is beta patched and the other is stock 1.05.
the one thing that is missing that would have helped a lot would have been the Global chat feature that HL has.In my opinion and this is just my opinion i think this game would be a lot more populated if it could be implemented somehow.When il2 was run through hyperlobby there was a lot more going on,more servers,more coops more ideas being thrown about and tested right there on the spot.instead we have a few servers to choose from and no real way to organize coops or anything.cant even recruit,unless you do it all through forums.that just sucks.yeah it might be another program running in the background but it worked.But some people think its an old worthless program and to old to use.I think you guys sold yourselves short on this one.This sim would be much much further in progress and more people would be in servers right now.Coops work and everything in Hyperlobby....go figure.

I dont think Il2 series would have been the success it has been through out the years with out hyperlobby.unless something is done this will just fade away just like any other game.
