How does version compatibility work in order to connect?

• Do I need to be running the exact same version as the multiplayer server I want to join? For example, I went back to version 1.2.4 due to Russian only speech with version 1.2.5 when flying a Mig, so will I also be able to see version 1.2.5 servers?
  
• If not how close do the version numbers have to be in order to fly the same servers?
  

Thank you.

You only see servers in the list who are on exactly the same version as your game.

You can very easily have English only radio, goto Sounds\Speech\Sound and rename or remove the RUS sounds folder and DCS will only use the ENG folder.

Thank you Mustang, that was a big help!

Thank you Nirvi, now I understand why version 1.2.4 multiplayer servers have all but vanished...they're all using version1.2.5.
