Re: Saturday Online Events At 2000 GMT!!
It's easy.
1. IL2 1946 installed
2. reasonable bandwidth but not much
3. Port forwarding set up on your router for the 1946 port number (which I forget)
The you set up a lobby, choose co-op and select the mission you intend to run. Then it appears in Hyperlobby and people can join in.

Very easy to test, just find one person to help.
Re: Saturday Online Events At 2000 GMT!!
You'll also need the missions. Dickie, will it be worth uploading these to the Mediafire account?
I mean, I had fast motor cars and fast motor bikes, and when I wasn't crashing airplanes, I was crashing motor bikes. It's all part of the game — Sir Harry Broadhurst

How about the port forwarding?
Re: Saturday Online Events At 2000 GMT!!
I am out of town tonight...
However, can I suggest a mission of which I know it works well? That would be operation Cerberus, or the Channel Dash, set in early 1942. The mission has a group of ships (with Scharnhorst and Gneisenau in the middle) dashing for Dover Strait under cover of the Luftwaffe. There is plenty of AI in this mission and the RAF has 90 minutes to sink the capital ships. The elements that are non- historical are the weather (IRL it rained, in the mission the weather is "poor") and the FLAK (reduced to very moderate in this mission).
The targets are the main battleships and these targets have 90 minute counters. If red fails to sink both, blue wins.
Planeset (from the top of my head):
RED
Swordfish
Beaufighter
Boston
Beaufort
Spit Mk. V
Hurri Mk. II
Wellington
BLUE
Bf109
FW190
Bf110
He111
Ju88
Note: in the mission, British ships are a threat to the German ships as well, which is why blue has torpedo capacity in the arsenal too.
I will be back next week

I didn't do anything today, as I had no idea what to do.

Ok nevermind. I missed it too. Let's go for next week.

I'll be able to host next week. We can try the mission Sanfu suggested.
