Hello Multiplayer Chums... Wink...!

The FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) at the top of the Multiplayer Forum no longer works.
Multiplayer connection using FS 2004 is simple and straightforward using FS Host...(I use FS 2004)...
...but the connection to Multiplayer using FSX is slightly? more complicated.
Would anyone like to run through the necessary method to connect FSX to a Multiplayer Server, stage by stage, and post the details here?

Paul....FS 2004 + FS Navigator... Cool...!

There must be another way to connect to Multiplayer in FSX without being forced to go through the dreaded Gamespy sign-up/join routine?
It was/is not necessary in FS 2004, using FS Host as the Server.
Is there a way it can be done in FSX, using FS Host, and just entering the Servers address to connect?

I'm not surprised that there are so few FSX Multiplayers on line.... Shocked....!

Paul...FS 2004...and experimenting with FSX.

P.S... I've just wasted an hour trying to register + join with Gamespy using FSX...without success... Angry...!

I cant believe you have to go through all this daft rigmarole just to quickly join in with your FSX and FS 2004 Mates in Multiplayer whilst you are in the air!....>>>>
