Xfire.

Well I've been experimenting with this for about a week and it works great for logging online hours and displaying your status.

 

How it works with Lockon; Unfortunately Xfire's server list isn't compatible with Lockon, this means you have to join via IP. This isn't a big problem becasue Lockon stores the last few IP's in a drop down list so once you make a note of the IP's, for the servers you like to play in, then just run Lockon from Xfires Launch Menu, click the NTW button, choose the IP from the list and click start.

 

How to match servers to IP's? well that's simple, just use HL to connect to a server and it will place the address at the top of the list with in Lockon. What I do is to use HL to see what server I want to play in then close HL and run Xfire to launch Lockon.

 

You can get Xfire here:http://www.xfire.com/download/

 

 

Click my Miniprofile tag to view the screenshots I took, in ArmA and AA using Xfires SS and upload facility.

 

 

Once again, unfortunately Xfire has no in game support for Lockon yet so the screen shot and in game messaging systems wont work so if any of you have or decide to checkout Xfire then please leave some support here; http://www.xfire.com/xf/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=182173

 

Thx.

What's the idear for runing xfire in multiplayer?

 

It logs your online time and lets others know, if you want, that you're online. It's basically a tool to keep in touch with people that play the same game and also acts like XP points or honor level by displaying how much time you've spent playing multiplayer, if you're interested in that kind of thing.

 

In fact it will also log the time you've spent playing offline too but Xfire wont discriminate against online and offline play so I would recommend another account if you want to keep track of your offline flying.
