I have spent the last 20 minutes trying to find a server to play on.
Every one on the internal list requires a password

And netspaces is full.

usually there are lots of servers to play on

its weird that you cannot find an available server
usually game arena has space you have to wait generally for people to leave then you can jump in and take their spot be patient and keep updating the list and you'll find a server.

Good luck

There are lots of servers, most of them pretty empty, all of them passworded.

I downloaded and installed the game last night, apart from fucking wankers constantly team killing it's good.

I've pre ordered it, however I would like to play some more....not possible by the looks of things

Servers in red are passworded, green are public... Just sort by ping and select a green server that is not full, with the best ping possible... Usually I can get onto either one of the Xtra servers, or Ausgamers... just be patient, sometimes it is a bit hard, but remember the game is still only a demo...

Thank you for the advice Wizard, I was not aware of the red/green thing.

Amusingly enough I got into the netspace server....after being told it was full. Its completly empty.

Guess I'll go driving

the passwords are there to stop ppl who shouldnt be on servers from being there. I.e a few mates running a server , or a company like optus only wanting their own ppl to play on it

just wait for a server with a spot its easier

I found it easier to steer the plane with the arrow keys on your keyboard rather than the mouse.

edit : password removed due to the uproar

space bar i think it is.. with hmm.. ctrl or something like that for alt. fire.

or, you could just set your own shoot button in the game settings

pfft, telstra advertised this password on their gamearena homepage when the server was first set up, I don't think they'd mind it being publicly available.

If thier damn webpage would work properly I would be able to login and get the password myself.

If thier damn 'tech support' weren't monkeys on crack I would be able to login and get the password myself.

Many thanks for the password that I have been waiting weeks for.

Why the hell would you spread that around. This service is for Big pond customers only.

Fuck me. Think mate.
