I would like to fly online but have not the slightest clue as to go about it. I have had CFS2 for a few years but an inferior computer. Now upgraded the sim works well (as opposed to hanging all the time) so I thought I might get a bit more out of it. I would say that this question would have been asked a few times, so just point me to the page etc. and I can go from there.

The other one was how do you load scenery that has battles  ie in Europe or missions....

Thanks in advance

Well Smithy, let's start with the Zone. Go here: http://zone.msn.com/  You will need to install some files, ZONE files for the Zone and Zone Friends. Nothing really big and pretty much leads you through the process. You will have to have a NET Passport if you don't already have one. NO big deal here either. This gets you going on flying on the Zone. If you are running a router or firewall, then you need to look at the MULTIPLAYER section of the Forums. Eno has done some work on setting up routers and firewalls and you should be able to get the info you need there.

For installing scenery, acft., missions etc, Simviation offers lots of help in this area. Look on the main page and you will find under the heading "Help and Tutorials" two great and thorough docs. that will help you tremendously in this area.

Good luck and enjoy flying with others. I sure do.
