MP in BOBII has some serious issues. We worked and tested MP for about one year until reaching a stopping point when it became clear that we needed a MP programmer with MP experience to solve the problems. We did have some fun testing and playing a less than perfect BOBII MP, however.

I hope some day a MP professional will volunteer to work on BOBII MP.

Which was a fortunate thing indeed for me and my lady love "gretchin" as we had had built up quite a following of RAF fighter pilot fans eager to autograph me and my plane personally. :)

Thanks Buddye,

Maybe the community could hire one ?
Did it look like it was possible and just needed the work ?
Heck I'd put in a few bucks

We are all unpaid volunteers around here, working on BoB II.
A dedication to simulating history is all we have.
Money is not something that we deal with.

Multi Player is not BoBII's main or best feature.
Us retirees, pensioners, and poor working men cannot pay anyone to make a good Multi Player.
Usually, while working on BoBII, we BDG guys just give each other a thumbs up! or The Middle Finger! :wink:

It's a true labor of love here which is alright because the details here are just grand.

Buddye and the BDG guys are my heroes for the outstanding work they have down on the AI

It is the best by far i have ever used 8)

The AI is really quite something in this game. You really have to know what your doing flying the Me -109

Fun times when a squadron of spitfires are on your tail ! :)

You really have to know what you are doing in a Hurri and Spit too!

The AI can be is vicious, but fair. This is how this sim will never ever be recreated. There is no cheating, and they make mistakes.

2.12 update is coming soon enough. Final leg now.
