Thanks for all the info

i am in no rush to start up the server as long as we got more servers than players... annyway the game is still in an early stage. So there for i will try to get this server settings and scripting into my fingers
manage to start the server and load up the map. Only issu is that i can only see the server in LAN window

i got the port 27016 and port 20000 open.
Still no luck. but i guess that it can be some settings in the "confs.ini" like in il2 1946 i tryed various settings and ip but...
So how do you ppl edit the confs file? and wath ports do you open ? anny special ports for Steam?
Here is my defoult confs how should it look like ?
