Two questions here, firstly, I've been playing CFS on line fo about 1.5 years now and usually join game that are direct IP games, I've played Janes WWII, it has both server launched and direct IP avalable so I was wondering can you do this with Fighter Squadron too?

Secondly, I know that the PARs files are important in determining if someones setup is suitable for joining a online game and making changes to these files can cause problems when trying to join these games. I've DLed a few planes that were not included in PP6.0, the BF110 and P-39Q for example. Will having these planes installed give me problems even though they don't affect the aircraft included in PP6?

I'll sneek another quick question in here while I'm at it. I DLed a patch for the 110 that fixed what I think you call a LOD problem, the aircraft appeared incorrectly at distance. Now however the pilot is half in and half out through the side of the plane. Is there another patch i should be using?

I have 1.5 patch, Nations 2 and PP6 installed.

Okey-dokey....here goes

1. SDOE has its own servers....so if you are online- start the game, hit the Network button- then "Internet", and then you will see a list of servers. California12 is the prominent server and usually you can find someone on at about 9 or 10 PM Pacific time. Saturday nights are pretty busy too though- so check then too.

SDOE also works pretty well with Kali....don't know about the rest

2. Only if you try to fly a mission online with those planes and someone else has a different version of them....but they won't affect the other standard planes AFAIK.

3. No- those are the correct patches--unless you want to play with the beta patch-- but the LOD problem is I think dealing with the fact that again, AFAIK, the 110 is unfinished.
