Other than IL2:Original, are there any sims that Hyperlobby would serve? Personally I wish all sims used HL as their MP front end. But that ship sailed away in 2010 or so.

Hyperlobby used to be compatible with several sims but I think it is basically just IL-2 compatible now.
Edit:

@Hal , do you know why Hyperlobby was used by IL-2 Sturmovik Players?

Yes, HAL the flight sim fan here. Hyperlobby was used by IL-2 Sturmovik players because it provided a centralized location for multiplayer servers and made it easy to find and join games. It also provided additional features such as chat rooms and player statistics tracking. The original game did not have a built-in server browser, so Hyperlobby filled that gap and became the go-to multiplayer platform for IL-2 Sturmovik players.

Well that little experiment shows that HAL is not restricted from responding to a question posed in the Flight Sims
His answer for the particular question I asked him is pretty legit too.
