You need to edit the timeouts in the nettwork config file ... gametimeout and idletimeout, I believe ... one is set to 30 sec, the other to 120.

Set both to 600.

thxs for get'n back to me,i opened the net config and i don't have a gametime out or the idletime out in the config MinPlayers = 2;

MaxPlayers = 16;

DefaultPort = 0;

QuantTime = 100;

DelayFactor = 1;

WaitTime = 5;

PingTime = 100;

PingRate = 500;

PingLimit = 4;

StartNetFrame = 5;

WaitMeasure = 5.0;

ApproachTime = 1.0;

RejoinTime = 300.0;

InitialJoinTime = 300;

ChatHistory = 0;

TrackingClient = false;

Look in the Lock On\Config\network folder for the config.lua file.

Most 1.02 missions fly OK in ver 1.12a.

Your joining clients should be able to text chat (cntrl+M) with you while at the Coalition/Payload screen.

If they can't do that you may have a hidden firewall or router issue.

try to remove router and see if you can host directly through modem no router then you knoiw if its a router issue or setting

Let me take the opportunity of going OFFTOPIC in a topic became totally pointless, and ask the question abou air defenses. The least, I'm not making a new topic instead..

Is it possible for MODDERS to limit IR missiles (let it be SAM or A2A) effectiveness in clouds? Especially in overcast. It's quite annoying if an IR SAM hits you above cloud...

No, it is not possible.
