Ok, to continue from yesterday...

The next image 'MP 6' is the screen you'll get after loading the game map. If you are happy with all the previous screens (settings you have made) then begin the battle.

This will bring you along to image 'MP 7'. Now at the moment any one who joins your server (or any servers you join) will not be able to see your rules, server settings etc (Hopefully the patch out on Friday should resolve this - ref to Monday (???) April 4 Development Update post). So for the moment the 'servers' are just basic dogfights. Going back to the image, click and select which army you'd like to join. The game will then load to image 'MP 8'

Now at this screen you can either create your own aircraft (and group...) or join a current group of aircraft already loaded on the server.

Until you can see the server rules, be smart and only create one aircraft! Try and avoid creating unused AI craft unless its a closed (your mates) server - where you know whats going on

To break down the 'Placecreate' (i think it should be planecreate)...
- Birthplace Make sure you select the appropriate base to spawn at... at the moment this is difficult because, again, there is no server screen telling you about the rules etc
- Aircraft Select the aircraft of your choice (depending on the server limits etc) and use the other drop down menu's to "customize" your aircraft. For example; country of origin, squadron group
- Flight For the moment everyone should just select 'flight1', and load up one aircraft (which will be your own). Any more than this and then there will be a "whole" server of AI aircraft (however, these can be accessed by other players through 'Change your plane'). So, again, until you know the server rules, or have a group of friends joining you etc etc etc, just one aircraft at a time!!!
- Fuel, Slot & Weapons - Should be fairly obvious for everyone. Make sure you 'lock & load' and have enough fuel for your (the server) mission or dogfight.

Once you are happy with the aircraft, click create. This should load you inside the aircraft and onto the battlefield...

With 'Change your plan', you can expand the window that is created. Inside will be a list of all the aircraft loaded on the battlefield. To go into a free or AI aircraft, expand into the selection (typically by double clicking) until you find the aircraft you wish to fly. Double click on the aircraft, this should bring your name next to the aircraft (if available). If the game doesn't load you into the aircraft straight away, just hit the 'fly' button on the left hand column.

Ok, i think that's everything. If anyone has a question, a problem with something i wrote (either me being wrong etc) or have confused you... then please make a post or mail me!

Cheers & happy flying
