just do what i do: take a loki, load it out with temps, and spiral in at them.  They'll never hit you, as long as you drop a countermeasure every now and then when you have like 30 missiles coming your way.

I tried FS1 a few times years ago but I only had a 56k connection then and the game was not really playable with that. FS2 works much better with 56k's and I used to play that online something like 24/7 about a year ago; I might still be somewhere on that rank list. :D

In my opinion, dogfight and TvT games are not really worth playing on a 56k since the broadband players will get a significant advantage (their pings are only a little less but that makes a big difference in allowing missiles and especially primaries to hit the targets), but cooperative missions work great. If you have something faster than 56k, these games are quite fun to play, but try to avoid non-standalone servers (i.e. with a playing host), because the host otherwise gets an enormous advantage with primary weapons.

I played on thorn's server yesterday (I think)... some mission against the HoL... I gained me greatest ever 'victory' (taking down an Aten), and it crashed.  Sigh.

At least Serious Sam works fine for me. :nod:

I keep two versions of FS2- one with full cbanims, fs2_open, and all my Port and Star Wars mods, and one bare-bones unmodified installation for multiplayer.

Personally I would like to see more multiplayer mods. Maybe the Source team can make a PXO alternative that lists what mods the host is running, or something.
