I just red in the Airshow thread about the idea of a Simviation Multiplayer Server. I think this is a great idea
and is worth it´s own thread.

So let´s just use this thread to gather ideas how this could be accomplished.

This is a list what I think would be needed
and what would be great to have optional.

1. We need a permanent Windows Server online.
2. We need someone to make the setup.
(I have experience with setting up a FSHost Server
Jared has.. I think Nemo, too and probabely a lot of others)
3. We need a handfull of admins who are visiting this server from time to time. They should be able to make port scans.. to check for closed/open ports.

optional.
4. A FSNavigator Server (don´t know if this requires some special setup)
5. A CFS 2 or 3 Server for Dogfights

For voice communications we could use my teamspeak server that is allready used in a lot of sessions. (Simviation could make a forward... like ts.simviation.com would point to ts.netfrag.org to have less confusing url´s)

These are my ideas so far.

cheers

sam,

I'm actually looking at setting one up at the moment, i'm going to try out a couple of things later when i get back from work. also the teamspeak server would be very useful.

I'll let you all know how it goes later on today.

Hi Sam and Nemo,
Sam that would be a really good idea. (Then we wouldn't have to invade WSP's servers! Cheesy)

Nemo, if you need any help with the server setup, just ask and I can try and help. Wink Good luck with setting it up! 8)

Hey this sounds great !!
Nemo let me know if I can help you.

I will gather some informations regarding the FSNavigator thing.

cheers

edit: Looks like FSNavigator is just an Option on the FSHost
Server that must be enabled + the ports on that server must be open.

Another question.. anyone got experience in setting up a CFS 2 or 3 Server ?

Can it not be done on non windows? Running  windows on a web server is asking for trouble - it's just not up to anything - creates so many temp files & needs rebooting all the time. In short windows is not an efficient OS.

There must be a way with Linux/Freebsd/Unix ....

That was my first idea, too. But I searched the web,
asked here on simv and on other forums. And so far noone
seems to have a non-windows solution. Well I´m not 100% shure about Vatsim. It looks like they use
something like a self made server wich might run on Linux
.. but this is just speculation.
I also heard that setting up a FS Server on a windows emulator does not work because of the missing DirectX Components. If anyone finds a solution, I could make
a Setup on my Server.. I still have 30gb traffic more or less unused.. each month Smiley
