What console command does HL send to il2fb.exe to connect..?

(Translated translate.google.ru)
Hello. I wanted to create a shortcut to which I wanted to add a command (or .bat-file) that would launch the game il2 directly to the server.
Unfortunately, I could not find the data which command line argument (it seems so called) accepts the il2fb.exe file. Since the game is very old, all forums are abandoned, I can not find anything, all links lead to HypperLobby and IL-2 Connect.
You forgive me, but I do not need these programs (sorry again), but I need only one server, and these programs only interfere (sorry, forgive = D).
But I thought, since such programs exist, their creators know this secret command (command line argument or console parameter)! Unfortunately, I did not find the source code, so I decided to contact the support service.
Please tell me what magic is like, how does your program make the game go to the server immediately ??? =) Wink

(Here, for example, to go to the Counter Srike server immediately after launching, you need to write "Object" in the game shortcut: C:\Games\CS\CS.exe -connet 11.123.11.333 and when you click on the shortcut, the game will start immediately on the specified server)
What should I write here: "C:\Games\IL-2\il2fb.exe -magic il2org.ru:21000" ??? =D Very Happy

Hello!

The command has the following form:
C:\address\of\the\game\il2fb.exe server:port -name YouNick

For example:
C:\Games\IL-2\il2fb1G.exe il2org.ru:21000 -name CoolPilot

If the path of the game contains spaces, then it must be enclosed in double "quotes".

This command can be added to the "Object" section in the game's shortcut properties. However, if on the server you have a lag or server kicked you, the game will not open the main page, it will close completely and go to the Windows desktop. That's why this command is awkward =/ Sad

Thank you for this question =)
