How to play or create coop missions?
 

It seems impossible to fly anything else than dogfight in IL2Cod. Only the host seems to be able to select aircraft in cooperative missions to fly with while the clients can't select any aircraft. This happens in stock missions as well as user created missions. Is it a serious bug or am I doing something wrong?

check your realism settings , there is a section aboout joining/creating etc

Yes they are all unmarked but it still doesn't work.

My squad (56RAF) has the same problem. Either we're missing some subtlety of the settings, or there's a bug.

Here's a really simple .mis where the host can join at Lympne, but nobody else can.

Anyone else able to setup and run their own coops?

EDIT: for some reason I can't get the [code] formatter to work!

Please help the coop fans
 

I second the question. How come it is not possible to launch any multi mission, like the stuka assault on ships, and just join in 2 of the planes with a friend?

Or is there an easy switch on the mission editor to enable this on any mission?

Or perhaps we do something wrong? Realism stuff is set right, server connexion is ok for both guys, still no way to share a Lan flight. The second player sets the right army but cannot jump in any plane...

Thanks for the help.

I have just finished trying all short of variation to launch a cooperative mission in Multiplayer environment.
Tried:
Regular Player/server
cooperative missions from cooperative folder
cooperative missions from dogfight folder
cooperative missions with spawn places

Dedicated Server
mission load as above

Result: Only host in the Regular Player/server can select the planes in mission.
All other client can only see and use the spawn places.

I wonder if there is something in FMB that we suppose to include in the cooperative missions or...multiplayer is not quite ready yet.

im trying and discussion it since the release.
conclusion: classic IL2 COOP online play does not work in CoD ...

can we say...yet! :)

STOP PRESS!

We think it's the case that you to have consistent Early/Late - Formation - Possibly Aircraft Type.

But it's getting late, so maybe a full answer tomorrow!

OK, so we've created Coops on one of the Island maps, but not the Channel.
We suspect that the slightest inconsistency in the data for the map causes it to be un-joinable for others.
