How to play multiplayer

[Flanker1985]

Hi, guys. Thanks you all so much for the information and suggestion. But actually, my real issue is how to actually connect to the server.

I notice you guys suggested me to download a server connecting software. But can you also teach me the basics as well? The multiplayer interface is so different than other games, we don't just get a list of hosted games when I press "refresh" botton. It ask me about IP port, which I have no idea what does that mean. Also what if I don't want to go to somebody else's server, I just want to teach my rookie friend how to fly, how can I host a game for him to connect?

Thanks again, guys
