New player having issues joining multiplayer

[Bengal]

Long time CLOD guy who's now trying IL-2. Got Bodenplatte and learned the P-51. When I try multiplayer there are two options (co-op and dogfight), but there are only 2-3 servers showing, they're locked, and no one is ever one them. I know the IL-2 community is huge so I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong?

 

One other quick question.....in single player campaign my 'time speed up' feature will go into slow motion, but won't speed up. It will say 2x, 4x...etc and the sound will quit....but the time speed doesn't change. Some of those flights back to base are too long

 

Thanks for the help.....Parker

you can't join most of the MP if you have Mods=On setting in game.. i.e. if you're using mods...

For the MP issue, as LuseKofte says, make sure you don't have mods on. Go on to the dogfight servers list, most of the MP action is there. its not just dogfighting, you have servers that are mission/campaign based like TAW, Combat Box and Knights of the Air, as well as standard get-in-quick dogfighting like Berloga.

For the time speed up thing, its a limit of the engine. The game tops out at a certain speed depending on the situation. In a career mode or complex mission with lots of AI and mission logic, the game literally can't run all the calculations fast enough to accelerate time, so instead of 4x you get 1.5x acceleration. You can get up to 4x on say a quick mission or something, depending on your rig...a faster processor will probably enable the game to run a little faster in time compression.

OK....great information!  I'll try both tonight. Thank you.
