This a basic sample mission creating an ongoing ground war which you can influence supporting your ground troops.

This is not an old original IL-2 style coop of cause but a very basic 'alpha-stage' example of CoD multiplayer.


upd. The mission is being tested on Repka #2 server ATM please give it a try and report bugs.

I'm struggling to get a "Listen" server working. ie, I'm old, my bro is older; we just want to be able to have one of us host and the other join--and be able to thwack AI that can't figure out our lame tactics. We use coward settings and just want to enjoy flight and shoot things as though we are not wearing Coke-bottle glasses. No reflexes = no competition. We'd just like to enjoy this mission.

Problem: only one of us seems to be able to get into an airplane. Can you please point me to some help? I'm not blaming the game; I'm just very confused.

Sorry to take up so much of this thread.

Yes, you can start it in Lobby. Password protect your server if you do not want others to join.

No joy. I appear to be able to select a side, but can't select a plane from map or by pressing "Create" since "Create" never appears. Now, Steam keeps disconnecting. I must lack some port info or be broken some other way (disabling BitDefender only seems to piss it off?).

Made some port changes. Also, I was trying the MF_any2 mission in MP dogfight. Text editor shows there is nothing in the file but a bit of header info. My bro hosts it fine. But, his copy on my rig still shows nothing. If I add objects/ac in FMB to it, I can play it. Something REALLY wierd here and not worth troubling you all, especially since I can open an SP Mission in FMB, uncheck seat, save as MP Dogfight, and host/play it.

Where do you guys host coops at?? ive been to this "lobby" and no one is ever there.In order for this sim to "take off" and get more populated servers it needs a place where coops and missions can be hosted in the same place where players can be seen.I have been to the game "lobby" over 30 times in the past few months and have yet to see a living soul..lol.
I have been playing a lot of coops in il2 and have been enjoying them because it gives the player a purpose and a mission + the creativity i have seen go into these missions are incredible.I would really like to play a coop in "Dover" to see how it is and to see what kind of coops the population is making. Can someone give a time when they will be hosting a coop please.I am Eastern standard time. (New York)
