GrilledSlug:
I hate to post this question - I like to think I am a hell of an advanced user, but obviously not in the IL2 arena.

Objective:

To get onto any server, fly an F-86, and McConnell/Jabara my buddy's ass.

Problem:

- I keep getting a Timeout no matter which server I connect to.
- I have tried to connect with many different versions of the game, from 4.09M, 4.10.1, 4.11.1, UP3 RC4, then uninstalled everything and reinstalled to 4.10.1 + UP3.0 RC4.  I have only installed in the default Steam folder, because I don't know how to not to.

What I have done so far:

- Installed IL2 1946 via Steam
- Patched to 4.10.1
- Installed UP 3.0
- Installed UP 3.0 RC4 client patch
- Installed ModAct 3.06
- Forwarded port 21000 (just in case)
- Tested UDP port is open via some checking tool I found online
- Activated UP 3.0 mod with JGSM
- Tried both UP and ModAct via selector
- Tested with Norton 360 firewall disabled completely
- Swore a lot in front of my children.  Little bastards.

Environment:

- Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (& appropriately licensed)
- A rig powerful enough to run hundreds of instances of this game (I have 32GB RAM by way of illustration)
- This rig is sitting in a house shaped like a Sabre.  But only I see it like that.  To other people, it just looks like a house.  But they're wrong.

I may be having a noob-level problem, but this is really exceptional for me.  I could be a valuable contributor to this community, and it has been 3 years since I played IL2 last.  I miss it so much, and it looks like some exciting stuff is happening.  IL2 CLOD isn't quite what I hoped.

I appreciate any help possible.

HundertzehnGustav:
*applause*
for an awesome introduction post.

mojojojo:
yes really quite an impressive first post.
im not a UP3 guy, but i think you've gotta have MDS enabled.

GrilledSlug:
What is MDS?

Is there any way to fly a Sabre without UP3?  Either way, I can't connect with UP3 or without...

HundertzehnGustav:
welcome to the copmplexities of Il-2.

to do:
use a stock game, and try to get on a stock server.
your game must be the exact indentical absolute same as the server: 4.10 or 4.11, stated in the server description in hyperlobby.
That is the easiest way to go and get connected at all.

to NOT do:
Only then, when that is done and we know for sure a connection is possible, will we discuss mods, thereby increasing the difficulty tenfold.
