Title: Server Tools
Post by X4A_US_Kermit on Jan 25^th, 2011 at 9:45am

I put up a server for our gaming group about a month ago. I can't seem to find any server tools or utilities that will let me control the server so I can send messages to fliers or kick them if I need to. Is there anything out there for this?

Welcome to SimV,

What type of server or server software are you using?

If you set up an FSHost server, you (the administrator) have those powers.

if it is FSHOST, you also have the power to set up an Admin Login so that other people can control your server while you are away, or for them to be ADMIN's and you not have to really deal with it unless it goes down.

Thanks for the information and the quick reply. I just used the host a session when I logged in. I will take a look at the link you sent.

Again Thanks a lot

as for the FS9 HOST a session, to send messages, hit the ENTER key which brings up the CHAT BOX. you can now talk to other pilots in the session.

as far as kicking pilots off the session? I am not certain but you could try .kick (player name) or /kick (player name)

I cant remember if FS9 even has a KICK/REMOVE // BAN feature.
