Yeah, that's how I figured it out. The fine print at the bottom while it's initializing. I saw something saying I was a version behind and that there was a 1.6 update. So I looked it up...and voila. Ok...live and learn.

I tried out ACE and at this point found it to be pretty tough. I don't like not having the aiming crosshairs. I need to see if I can at least get that back.

I think you can configure that stuff in the config.hpp (or something like that) file that comes with ACE - there is a wiki I believe on the main ACE site that covers that stuff. I don't know for sure but it is quite possible that host settings override client settings with ACE so if you are going to go that way it's probably better to get used to it rather than get surprised joining an online game you really want to participate in.

Hehe... well with work, 4 kids, and time with my lovely wife. Online probably won't happen much. Thanx again for your help.
