I believe that says it all. Of course, you'll have to back up those TBP files and put clean FS2 ones on there...well, I suppose you could try TBP multi but I doubt most people have it installed (also, 99% of all FS2 multi missions are regular FS2) ...

Anyway, if you have FS1 too, that's all good...eh....just LOOK AT THE PAGE!

Hmm...

Now that you mentioned it, I could actually host too. I have a 60kb/s up/down ADSL.

I have wireless ADSL (Speedwise it's exactly the same). I'd like to host one too but I'm behind a firewall here at home so I can't.

I'll try to find CD number 1 and I'll join you all there.

Never having played FS1/2 in multiplayer mode, I have a couple of questions:

1) How long does each match last, as my dial-up access has a two hour time-out, and I don't want to loose my connection mid-way through getting my ass kicked.

2) How good do you have to be? I mean I normally play on Medium, so am I just going to be "road-kill"?

neimad: You join games as they form (no midgame joining, which is understandable considering that this isn't an FPS dm...) and they last ... well, it depends. I think the longest I ever flew was a 30m DM, that was hardcore.
As for gaming, well, skillwise humans are better than the AI. However, the AI cheats in some respects, so since everyone's on an even playing field, you'll adapt pretty fast.
If you normally play on medium, you might not be #1 but you've got enough basic manuever/dodge skills to at least bag a few bad guys.

Huh? Since when has firewall prevented hosting FS2 games? I have a firewall, and it runs just fine?
