One of the nice things about hyperlobby was...

I suspect that that's pretty far away. The devs are going to have a lot on their plate for the foreseeable future.

But the part that has links to others, so everyone can get together and join games? That was what I was trying to show in my original post.

How can it be a flaw ?
Hyperlobby can only connect and monitor pilots that join via the Hyperlobby, when the mission starts (coop) or you join a DF server it then closes the Hyperlobby until you (the client) has disconnected from the server, where upon it restarts its self resulting in no resources being used whilst you are in game, it cannot intrude on the servers network traffic to monitor all clients in session that are outside of Hyperlobby's network interface control and user handling system.

Not a good subject at the moment, I wont speak for Jiri but discussion was instigated (Luthier Oleg 1C team) and all I'll say is lets wait till things have become more stable and CoD is as click n fly friendly as IL2 1946 is before getting Hyperlobby set up

Although I personally think that if Hyperlobby was able to carry CoD into the community there would be faster tracks made to help debug and get things moving along quicker.

More direct help and support comes from Hyperlobby than any forum provides, there are many veteran users with a wealth of information and advice for new and old IL2 users
who might be having problems with the sim/game.
CoD would benefit from this user network across Hyperlobby, but we will have to see.

I know plenty of folks that simply will not fly CloD until Hyperlobby support is available.

They may never get to fly Cliffs of Dover then unfortunately.

Well, most of them have given up on this sim already to be honest.

I don't agree with them, but there is no bringing them back to the fold.

Sad but true.

Well not to be blamed really.

I don't fly dogfights servers, not my cup of tea

I have built and hosted thousands of coops and hosted campaigns for 6-8 months online, it seems I have a long wait ahead as CoD simply isn't ready for anything other than a quick fly around in a dogfight server.


Don't forget the spirit of HL was to break away from "big brother" and fly independently.

Until most potential sales are realized, I don't see Hyperlobby being added to the equation...maybe never, for game check integrity reasons

I like that attitude, especially in light of how awful ubi's lobby application was. But the simple fact is we don't have HL here and likely won't for a long time.

Well that's just not true. Any application can connect to the il2fb dedicated server and ask the server directly how many clients it has. We know this is true because that's how the server controllers (fbd, etc) work.

Example: I want to start my dedicated server, so I launch it through HL and then HL begins polling the server for a user list, and displays that whenever a prospective pilot clicks the info screen on their HL client.
