Can you play IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 on hypperlobby, if so HOW!!!! ive tryed and theres no catagory for it and people say you play it in frogotten battles THEN HOW COME I CAN PLAY IT!!!

hmm, you say you have 1946 and are in the forgotten battles room. would it not make sense then to ask those who are also in the Forgotten Battles room for help? many exclamation points and typing in all caps (yelling) does nothing to help the situation. You'll probably find a faster response by asking on Hyperlobby.

but to answer your original question of Can you play IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 on Hyperlobby.

Yes, you can. Those that said you play it in the Forgotten Battles room were correct.

Good Luck

I assume you were able to download the correct 4.08m patch for IL-2 1946

The original IL-2 1946 is not flown by anyone anymore, people have moved on to other patches of it. The one you need to start with is 4.08m.

You can download the 4.08m patch here:

http://mission4today.com/index...e=Downloads&get=1908

You will need to register with the site before downloading.

Click on the blue highlighted text to download:

il2_1946_408m.zip

Installing:

When it is finished downloading, you need to double click on the zipped file to install it.

Make sure it unzips to your IL-2 STURMOVIK 1946 folder.

Then you need to download the 4.09m patch.

It is available here:

http://mission4today.com/index...file=details&id=3764

Follow the same procedure as 4.08m.

You should then be good to go for quite a few of the servers on Hyperlobby.

<<<

Installing Hyperlobby:

Hyperlobby can be downloaded here:

http://hyperfighter.sk/

Follow the instructions carefully.

The game you want to select is "Forgotten Battles", NOT "IL-2". Also, some people have a problem in not pointing the Hyperlobby program at the right .exe. Make sure you point it at your IL-2 FB .exe. This is the file called 'il2fb' inside your main IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 folder, and which looks like a small icon of a Corsair, blue and orange in colour.

The other thing you must do, is to make sure you have your firewall configured to allow Hyperlobby to launch, as well as allowing the IL-2 game to launch. Normally the firewall will ask you for permission, but sometimes it will lock up, so if you want to be sure, go into the firewall, and add IL-2 and Hyperlobby as permitted programs and servers.

You should be able to now see a number of servers in the Hyperlobby program. Select one which indicates it is using 4.09m.

<<<

Most people online communicate using microphones and a voice comm system. Teamspeak is the most popular.

TeamSpeak can be downloaded here:

http://www.goteamspeak.com/?page=downloads

Once you have installed TeamSpeak, you need to create a new server to connect. Under ADDRESSBOOK, You put your mouse arrow on the 'Server' heading, and right click, slide down to 'Add Server', and left click on it. It will create a new box for the name of the server.

For example, RAF74's:

You write in RAF74

Then under 'Server Address' you enter:

209.11.246.179:8767

Then you put your nickname in: tyler-ace123?

You connect as an anonymous user.

The Server password is: tiger

When you have finished putting that in, you double click on the Server name on the left, and you will connect.

You should see yourself appear in the upper box under 'RAF74 General Room'.

<<<

Many people are now using the 'Mods' online. These are some programs which modify the basic IL-2 1946 to allow flying of the AI planes, as well as providing new planes and new maps.

However, if you want the mods, you don't go the step of installing 4.09m. You just install 4.08m, then the mods.

To get the mods, you goggle 'All Aircraft Arcade'

You will then need to register with the forum, then download the "AAA Unified Installer Version 1.1", (8 downloads)

After that you need to download the AAA 1.2 patch.

Now you are almost ready to install the mods.

First, make a backup of your IL-2 STURMOVIK 1946 folder, rename it 'Original IL-2 4.08m', put this aside. Then install first the the AAA 1.1 mods to your original Ubisoft/IL-2 1946 folder, then after this is done, install the AAA 1.2 mods.

After this is done, open the IL-2 1946 folder.

In the main folder you then have a version switcher which allows you to pick either plain 4.08, plain 4.09, or modded versions of these, with or without six degrees of freedom Track IR.

<<<

If you need to re-point the Hyperlobby program or if you change your name, use the following procedures:

Logon to HL then type //deleteaccount into the chat bar. Then logon with your new name and password and follow the instruction. That changes your name but keeps all your settings, friends list, etc. intact

To change the path to the executable game file, disconnect from hyperlobby, then press ctrl and shift, then left click on 'connect' and the dialog box will come up. Click on game .exe, and note properties address, then point to the il2fb.exe in your new modded install.

<<<

Hope this will get you up and running.
