    we use hyperlobby, which can be downloaded here http://hyperfighter.jinak.cz/

    but be warned, everyone plays FB with Aces Expansion Pack. There's a post here somewhere abotu where you can buy them on sale at the moment. It's worth it for the Spitfire alone

    Donny..if you want help sussing it, here goes.

    IL-2 was part one..I never owned it but missed the finest thing ever , back then.

    Forgotten Battles launched and it was devoured by the community it tasted SOO GOOD. It is seperate from IL-2.

    Then lots of patches came out..some good, some cack

    Then ACES EXPANSION came out.....it is IN ADDITION to FORGOTTEN BATTLES.

    SO ya need: Forgotten Battles...and Aces Expansion Pack...then you need it patched (see Forgotten Battles home page)

    You need a joystick thats quite recent (Saitek Cyborg or similar)

    you need a LOT of system memory...it runs like a PIG on 256, but 512 is good as gold.
    Graphics cards are up to you.....the game is very very scalable....

    then you need several months of banging your head on a wall and I can help with a few one on ones' in early evening if ya fancy.

    Ahhh....thanks for the answers guys, I will have to go out and spend some more money looks like! I already have a Logitech Wingman Force 3D which is quite nice, although a few years old now (twist grip is a bit dodgy for rudder control - makes take-offs interesting!). I have 512Mb of Mushkin @ 420Mhz CL2 etc. and a Radeon 9800 Pro with XT BIOS on so just need to buy FB & Aces exp. pack then

    See you in the skies guys (or on the deck!)

    Oh and thanks for the offer of tuition Zak, I'd like to say that with my finely honed aerial skills I would be teaching you a lesson Dude But, having played IL-2 online for a few nights and been shot down 50+ times already I'm prolly gonna take you up on that please m8

    Soon, soon then,

    DJ
