First, thanks to Paul & wealthyspoon for unraveling my freebee aircraft viewing quirey.

Without trying to teach grannys how to suck eggs, for anyone else wanting to practice formation flying, I found that by running fs9 on my two PCs and :

Both
1. same field
2. same fs9 Flt.Plan (speeds 180kt) with Star at destination

Then
1. I take off the Second PC
2. join it on same Bband fs9 multiplay
3. put it on fsNav A/Pilot & FlyPP

I take off on first PC, join on fs9 & fsNav multiplays and go find the first one to practise formating on.

For some reason not both PCs can join on fsNav multiplay, so I only join the one I fly. Can anybody advise on this?                          luke

I'm afraid dear old Luke confuses me most of the time with queries like this...Wink...!

So...What happens....?

You have both FS 2004 and FS Navigator installed and running on both computers....

You successfully connect to Sam's Server in Multiplayer using "FS 2004" on both computers....?

You successfully connect to Sam's Server in Multiplayer using "FS Navigator" on both computers....?

What goes wrong then...?

Paul.... Wink...!

P.S....and who is Multiplayer flying on the second computer... Shocked...?

The second PC as I said is on A/Pilot and on fsNav's Fly Plan
      "3. put it on fsNav A/Pilot & FlyPP"  
looking after itself flying the route, and I fly the first PC catching up and formating on it right up to landing, as he is on STAR & autoland.

What I can not do is join both aircraft in fsNavs 's multiplay.

Can only join mine.

Sorry confusing you Foz, I thought you were up to these things          luke

...only on a Tuesday, providing it falls in the 15th. of the Month, Luke....
...trust me...Wink...!
LOL...!

Why would you want to watch FS Nav on the 2nd Screen.
If you have the Multiplayer FS Nav "RADAR" working on the 1st monitor you will be able to spot, and follow the 2nd aeroplane by watching the RADAR.... Wink...!

I can see all the other fliers on my FS Nav RADAR screen in Multiplayer, and maneuver to fly alongside them...(zoom in)...
...switch to outside view and you have a screen shot of all/both the aircraft in formation...!

Would that work, Luke...?

Paul...looking forward to Tuesday the 15th..... Wink... Grin...!

...AAhhhh....!

Now you kept that quiet in your first post, Luke... Wink...!

Can't figure out why FS Nav wont work on both computer screens though... Cry...!
...assuming you've got it installed on both computers...

Paul....now it's Tuesday the 15th.... Grin...!!

Have both copies been paid for?  Maybe FSNav is designed to look for multiple copies on a network and only run one instance unless they both have individual activations?

Just pondering possible reasons.

Wow.... Shocked...!

That's an interesting thought, John...Wink....!

They (FS Nav) probably work OK after installing on both computers and entering the "key" on both, and both running off-line, but when on-line maybe that's something different?...interesting....Wink...!

Cheers, John... Wink...!

Paul... 8)...!

P.S....What about running both computers on a Local Area Network instead of on-line Multiplayer...would that work..?

I had this connection with my son,I post once this and the first reply and all of it end as   You have to buy another Flight Simulator 9 otherwise you braking the law this is the kind of thing you may get sometimes here,it seems like we have a microsoft policement here,I remember I told them Do you think having two pc one next side to the other both are my ptroperties ,to be so idiot and go buy another same softwareone of them said you should read the EULA pal! one game per pc Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes it easy Luke you just have configurate there4 are many types of connection ,can be from a switch one chanel from the modem, and two for the two pcs,other (without internet) can be lan to lan it has to be a inverted lan cable,win xp will do the rest or hit autoconfigure in conections,is not big deal,make sure you copy the ip of your other pc by start /execute/cmd/then writte IPCONFIG and  there it is  
I use that connection then my son is not as fan of fs as me and he uninstall it ,But we always are playing counter strike 1.6 we have fun too,LOL Due that hes just a kid ,I always get pisst up because he can estabilize the plane he doesn't know how to use the autopilot he got tire of my screeming and one day he simply uninstaled

Hallow Venezuella, a long way from home.

You are very right, I'd be a mug if I bought two of each progs I use. What, a 77 OAP in my house in one room for gaming ?. Not on their nelly, this policeman can come and take the lot away and lock me up. Just before that though I will jump out of the window head first, I had a good life anyway.

As for your last instruction, is beyond me, am not very bright. Just on the net to practice formation flight on my own 2 or 3 oclock in the morning is great fun.

See you, and of subject.
