Re: Just saying hello.
Hi,
Flying is usually Sundays (7.30 BST) and Wednesdays around the same time. You will often see :FI: or =FI= tags on Hyperlobby at other times and Im sure they'd be happy for you to join them in a server.
Check your Firewall on joining an online Server- make sure Hyperlobby is in your list of exceptions. Also make sure you are running the same version of the game on your PC as the server.
We have a wide range of aircraft in FI coops both red and blue side. You need to get yourself over to the www.allaircraftarcade.com site- download and install the unified instaler v1.1. You should also get yourself teamspeak installed too. Keep an eye on the boards for extra aircraft we are using (at the moment we are using the new Spitfire Mk14).
Enjoy the boards and good luck !

Re: Just saying hello.
OK Jacob, welcome.
Lots of questions there, so let's take them in order:
Unable to connect via Hyperlobby - timeout message? Could be a number of things. So you have your PC behind a firewall or router? If yes then you need to have set up port forwarding to that you can connect to the game. You will need to do this either in your router or firewall software. You also need to make sure you have an up to date copy of the latest patch which is 4.08 to join servers on HL. Many also now use a modded version of the game - which is game version 4.09m1b. You can find the modded version here http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/inde ... eeb3a466df
You can fly without TS, particularly on HL - but if you want to fly with this squadron you really need to get on TS so we can get to know you. If you download the client software we can then provide you with the server details.
We fly coops as a squad on Wednesday and Sunday at 7.30pm UK time (which at the moment is 6.30pm GMT). Aircraft are set by the mission builder - this Sunday I believe we are flying Spitfires and Tempests, last Sunday it was B25's and F4U's. We don't have any specific plane set that we fly, although if the mission builder is writing a campaign we normally stick with the same type for the duration of that campaign.
We don't really have any rules - which is one of the things that sets this squadron apart from some of the other out there. Only to have fun, be polite to each other and love sheep.
Your English is fine - it is the language we use but we have members from about a dozen countries at the moment so if we cannot get a point over to you in English then if you share a language with one of our other members then you can always switch to that.
You might like to expand your intro post a bit - who you are, where you live etc. You don't have to of course, there aren't any rules on it
EDIT - looks like SCOTT and I were typing similar messages at the same time - oh well, we said mostly the same stuff

Re: Just saying hello.
You will need to set up your router to allow IL2 to connect to a server - it's called "port forwarding" as per my earlier post. The port for IL2 is 21000 (three zeros). If you have the manual for your router you should be able to set it up fairly easily (sorry my router is Netgear, never had Linksysjacobdb wrote:well. i have lynksis router. i also readed something about port 2100. something of opening it. didn't really understand it.

)The FI flight school forum should give you plenty of hints and tips, but the best way to learn is practice
