Online question..

Greetings,

I've had IL2 Sturmovik: 1946 DVD installed and patched to 4.08M (no mods at this point) for the last year or so.

Have loved the game since its inception but have never played online. I've been tempted to test online play capabilities, but I'm unable to find any sort of server within IL2 itself. I did find something called HyperHobby, but it won't recognize my Iil2fb.exe for the IL2 full version lobby.

Heck, I just decided to check and see who was on and I've found 1 person.

So, my questions are twofold:

1) How does one go about connecting to a server - is it through the games main menu, or some external program?

2) Is it worth even looking into Online at this late development cycle of IL2 ?

I understand the hesitancy to post links to other sites - so if you need to send any info to me privately, I'll be more than happy to receive a PM.

Cheers and good hunting,

R.S.
