two quick questions.

1. I can't seem to get the multiplayer option to work and I haven't seen much information about troubleshooting. Someone please help!
2. I'm doing the flight lessons, but I'm not sure I really understand how the OBS control works. I don't understand how to get the number or how to set the instrument. And in the lesson, it happens without much explanation as to how he arrived at that number...HELP!

Thanks.

alright. so I did some digging, and I kind of answered my multiplayer question...the zone msn thing was out, so I downloaded FSHOSTSPY...but I am getting the following error when I search for games...

Error getting server list from master server. The server name or address could not be resolved.

So I went into the options and found the address it was trying to connect to:

http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/cgi-bin/fshost_master.cgi

I pasted that into my browser and got a very unfriendly list. So I think the link works, I'm just not sure this thing is connecting properly.

Thoughts?

please read this first. Should answer a lot of your questions.
You don´t need FSHostSpy to connect as long as you know the server ip.

Regarding OBS. You might want to ask this question in the "Real Aviation" Section of this  Forum.
Anyway.. here a link to a VOR simulator.
Quite helpfull

that OBS page is amazing. I will definitely be using it a lot. Thank you for your help with that.

As for FSHOST. I realize all I have to do is paste in the IP address, the problem is getting the IP address in a format other than a pipe delimited flat file. The reason FSHOST was appealing was because there were several IP addresses to choose from.

Thank you again for the OBS site.
