Can SDOE be set up to run head to head like Warbirds....just two computers over a modem without going through a server? If so, how?

Spanky here..

Sure can man
make a 2 player mission
sign on to a server
host
let the other guy join
and play away

the server is just a meeting place
the host won't be doing anything extra cause there will be no AI planes

ya get what i mean? it just like if you gave the other guy your IP # and you hit host and he joined, without all the sending and pasting IP#s

I don't think you can do it without being on the net though. IF thats what you meant.

There's no modem-to-modem built into the game. But you can set up a Dial-Up Networking connection between the computers and then use IPX or TCP/IP LAN. Go to http://winfiles.cnet.com/howto/ and click on "Setting up a Windows 95 Dial-up Server"

This is covered in the Handy Dandy Doc, http://www.fightersquadron.com/standard.html and click on Handy Dandy Doc.

That's a question I had in the last couple of days also....thanks for the info. So, IPX or TCP/IP LAN won't work without a dial up connection?? Nuts..

I searched my HDD for the info and couldn't find it....maybe I need to get it again? It has been a while since I DL'd it..
