Oh believe me.I have! I'm not saying I want it to remain like this, I just believe the product is where I expected it to be and it'll improve from there - unless they are planning on producing a seperate and new product (i.e. (not that that is at all one of my priorities, I can live with that) Don't you care at all about having to be stuck with this VPN shit for another 5-6 years? And while you're at it, maybe comment on the ground graphics, 1998 is so out these days.

Now seriously CD, it went from "AF is a complex sim" to that ^Īll of these are mere excuses for not doing any real work, or not wanting (god forbid) to hire a professional network developer for a month or two on contract, which all know they can afford now, the sales are not small. More of my focus in MP in AF was spent on stability, smoothness, with some definite long hours pulled on the new MP UI and new connection method (the death of the "-ip" switch is complete! yippee! in order to make joining and flying easier than it has been in the past.

So, the MP5-1-type code for LAN/WAN support was not included since it would break anyway for so many people. So even now, trying MP5-1 with a server running Win XP SP2 will not work. Microsoft, for good reasons I might add, turned off the networking tools used in MP5-1 (raw sockets in case you are interested). Now, the main reason that MP5-1-like code for LAN/WAN support is not in AF is because that code got broken by Win XP SP2.

In the "old" days, some people claimed they got it working, and I see no technical/code reason why it wouldn't work, but I can't say for sure without having tried it myself. VPNs are a special exception which I personally have not tried yet. With UDP networking, that is not possible with most routers/NAT setups.

The clients (not just the server/client connection) need to connect directly to each other. The original reason for the additional code support in MP5-1 is the reason you guys have discovered. LAN/WAN support ala MP5-1 is definitely NOT in F4:AF. Quote ]Just to add to the discussion and help some (hopefully).
