We have an experimental FSHost Server running on our Linux Machine !! Thanks to Joko and xaBBu.. two friends of me. It´still very experimental so expect disconnects
and experiments
We would like to do a stress test on sunday 20:00 GMT
to see if it works well under such conditions. We invite everyone to join !!
If nothing unexpected happens this will be permanent server. Feel free to connect whenever you want.
FSNavigator works well.

The IP address is
85.10.244.109
(default port)

you can view pilots flying online on
cockpit.netfrag.org

and we also have a Teamspeak Server running at
ts.netfrag.org

check this thread for TS details
http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Multi;action=display;num=1...

The following ports MUST be open.

23456 UDP
6073 UDP
23432 TCP

have fun !!

cheers

Well, just been for a flight on the server with Sam, xaBBu and f16 and it works brilliant.

Well done.

Hello, Lads...

Is the new Server limited to just one Port address, eg 23456?

If so this means that only one group of players can use the Server at one particular time...!

Note that WSP has three Port addresses (23456, 23457 and 23458 ) so there is always the choice of of selecting an "empty" Port, and other flyer's are not conflicting with each other!

Cheers all... ...!

Paul.... 8)...!

P.S. What are Port addresses 6073 and 23432 used for?
...and what is the reference to: UDP, and TCP, and what is their importance...?

Does that mean that on Sam's new Server: 85.10.244.109, it is possible to select either 23456 (default), 23457 or 23458 in the FS 2004 Multiplayer Settings Option...?

Being limited to just one port address on a (SimV) Server is a bit restrictive.

Cheers....!

Paul...(No router, No SP2)...8)...!

-sam-,

as you already know I tried your server and as I told you it looks good. as far as I can see, and despite I was alone...
just a question, when I was looged in, I opened FShostspy to see if it would detect the session but it didn't. do that mean the link you gave, cockpit.netfrag.org, is the only way to see who in on?
if not what do I have to do to make it visible through FShostspy?

thanks
vince

Hi there,

Just wanted to remark something for the fshost spy problems.
Right now the server is not public yet. That means it is not registering itself with the master server list of fshostspy yet.
It is going to be registered at a later point, right after we did the first stress test on sunday. Feel free to join that (sam posted something about it).

Re: Teamspeak vs Chat window.

I have great sympathy with all the Multiplayer Fliers who do not have the knowledge, or do not have/cannot afford the the headset-microphone equipment necessary to operate Teamspeak and therefore get left out in the cold......!
For those Fliers I quite enjoy using the Chat window......!
There is always going to be a problem with communication between the Teamspeak/Chat window users... ...!
I think this became apparent during Thursday night's test session......!

Cheers all...!

Paul.... 8)...!

I have all the equipment necessary to operate Teamspeak, but for the occasional pop-in with other users it's nice to be able to communicate with everyone using the simple, user-friendly, Chat Window... ...!
...over and out... ...!

Sam......
shure = sure.

...and the "apostrophe" character is on the "@" key...
example: shouldn`t = shouldn't.
...sorry mate....German keyboards?....LOL......!

..in that case, in Teamspeak, I will speak to to you in a Cockney, English, London, dialect, eg: "Cor, blimely, guv'nor...."... ..!
LOL...!
