NOTE-1: I am in the process of cleaning this post up. Wanted to make it though soon as people like me would like to know what game features are in the game and its expansions.
MODERATORS and OWNERS please confirm that the expansions listed here are in the game. Again I do not own the game, but thought anyone that wanted to buy it might like the full feature list.
Also Please add a Italics option to the message options. I tried just the BB code, it didn't work though. Also possible more Heading BB Codes and Styles BB Codes. Thanks.
NOTE 2: Ubisoft used to have a network for this game to host games on, but I don't know what the situation is with that. Can anyone confirm the situation for the buyer?

I know multiplayer wise (I have the DVD version of '46) that everyone ignores Ubi's multi and goes to hyperlobby instead. It regularly at peak times has over a few hundred either playing or chatting in the lobby.
Go to http://hyperfighter.sk/ it's simple and easy to figure out how to set it up.
Most servers can still use 4.08m but many more now use the AAA (allaircraftarcade) unified installer mod. That's a little harder to get up and running, but there are helpful guides on the site ( www.allaircraftarcade.com ) You'd be amazed at the modding ability of the people there.
Take a look!
