1.22 or 2.0?

_Schadenfreude_ · « **Reply #2 on:** March 07, 2004, 09:41:55 AM »

1.22

No icons
No Map assist
Full cockpit
Missions every hour or so
24/7 server
30 or so to the room

Most of the set up seem to have invisible cockpit view but not this one.

so can you have 1.22 and 2.0 installed on a machine

upgrading has limited the rooms I can get into now..

I think it's 1.22 only when AE is released worldwide they'll probably add a room

Eagler · « **Reply #5 on:** March 07, 2004, 10:52:13 AM »

some are hosting as 2.0 already most are still 1.22

some list what version, others you have to wait until the connection fails out when you try to connect which is a pain

not being any good at FB, I like the map icon thingy working. at least then i can quickly find a fight or at least know about where I am at on the map - super full real without even ur own icon showing on the map takes some getting use to

yep the map thingy is tricky, however if you remember where you took off from and keep and eye out for landmarks then it's easier - took off earlier tody and was hopelessly lost in about 5 minutes till I found a PE8 - well I think it was a Pe8 stooging around the Finnish coast.....blew off his wing with 30mm and got splashed with oil......crashed on the runway coming back in........with a good vid card it's pretty amazing.

Greatergreen admin said he wont host 1.20 till the dedicated server is out. That doesn't come out till the patch after the expansion is released in Europe.

Hey Sunking,

About your signature- I agree with Batz and btw -so do a lot of people.

AI at any level and any pilot in FB, is nothing more than AI and if it beats you i hope you feel suitably ashamed.

You can host on Hyperlobby, just click the top slot on any of the rooms then set up your game using the hyperlobby interface. Just be sure to describe your game settings so folks know what they are joining.

To host FB from the game just goto multplayer, create new server, set up the game how you want then give your ip out to your friends.

Here's the advanced manual (also on Disc 2 of original FB)

That's one of nicer things about FB online. Usually rivers are most helpful, but also cities and roads.

Also I found once you've flown over a map a couple of times - either online or offline you start to recognise features - just like r/l!

Since I upgraded my vid card am afraid FB is giving AH a run for it's money in time online.......which kinda surpirsed me a lot.
