Auto Launch Into Server

[Dave_America]

Hello,

 

Is there a way to configure the game so it'll launch into a specific server using an IP? I'm running a DS and would like to auto launch the game somehow to go directly into my server. Is there a steam command or some way to modify the cfg files?

 

Thanks!

Probably not possible because you have to authenticate your account before you have access to most of the features of IL-2 (including access to server browser and multiplayer servers).

I did find a config file that looks like it would allow me to auto login. I forget the cfg filename, maybe startup.cfg, but that would be the file I would think I could modify. Just need a call to do it.

 

I tried using a AHK script using mouse clicks but I can’t seem to get the pixel point correct. It seems to keep changing each time I load the game in VR.

IIRC, It used to be possible in IL2-1946 to have a desktop or webpage link to go straight in.  Am I dreaming?

That would be ideal. 

 

The config I was mentioning is actually the autoplay.cfg (code below):

&enabled=0                     // =1: turn on the autologin
&loginOffline=0                  // login mode, =0: online, =1: offline
&login=                        // your login (e-mail)
&password=                       // your password
&autoIngame=0                    // =1: start mission without plane settings
&missionSettingsPreset=1         // =0: custom difficulty settings (last stored), =1: normal dificulty preset, =2: expert difficulty preset
&missionPath=missions/il2_ground_attack_n   // mission path to be loaded
//&trackPath=tracks/

There does seem to be an issue with having it enabled though. I never seem to get passed the login screen.

 

I was hoping there was a call like "mutiplayerConnect=IP" but that doesn't seem to work, and without knowing if there even is a call it's impossible.

 

If that can't happen, then being able to simply arrow {Down} and {Return} to select the server and join would work for AHK. But unfortunate you have to use the mouse to select the server you want to join.

 

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be forever in your debt.

I just checked the autoplay.cfg and it DOES work. I just went straight into the Cockpit of my Machine in a PWCG Mission by enabling this and calling IL-2.exe.

 

It would be great, if this would work with Servers somehow as well.
