you do need the 'online standard' flight model - i think it's just over 8mb - the link didn't work at fshangar just now, but I think its buried in hippie's ftp directory
- i think that's the one - its so much work just to get into the air online that I just play LAN and am still using fm 4.xx

Semmern,

joining online if very straightforward. First make sure you are online. At the first screen in SDOE select "Network" then "Internet" from the next screen. At the following screen several servers become available. Online play is most popular in the evenings and the two common servers are uk1.activision.co.uk (mostly used 9-12 pm GMT - which is late afternoon in North America) or california12.activision.com (mostly busy from 9pm to 2 am EST.

Make sure you have the online standard for play (basically plane pack 5.2. Check out the downloads section for details.
