Thanks, after some messing around I have worked it out and a big list of servers are now showing. Unfortunately for some reason I cannot connect to the Russian server which I did very briefly play on long ago and did make an account which does show when the username selection shows. After that it cannot connect. That will take some more investigation when I have more time. It is nice to have a full list of servers showing which version(s) they are using. It is necessary to put the files from your 2nd link in the Discovery exe folder rather than the Freelancer folder. I have also put them in the Freelancer folder so I can now see all the servers in Freelancer for servers still running v1.0.

I have only been playing Discovery after that time so I must added the files that I mentioned just above which must of permitted me to see the servers when I was playing in the last 2 years. However for some reason something must of happened to them or the settings files, maybe one of the many updates modified them and removed the required lines from the ini file. All fixed now
I do not support the decision made to remove other servers, it just reduces the people who play Freelancer Discovery because people can chose which suits them best. I am not a fan of Role Play in any of it's many forms , I find it tedious and unwanted TBH.
BTW Thank you everyone who contributed and helped me getting it working again.
BTW2 I have updated the Discovery launcher to v2.2.3 after running the 2.1.3 version since I started. Unfortunately it does not allow me to go back to 2.1.3 because it says that the launcher config file is corrupt. If I had know beforehand I would of backed it up.
