* PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY *



-----------------------------------------

AIRCRAFT TO USE

THESE TOURS REQUIRE GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT ONLY,

This hop will begin at 7:00PM for departure/take off at 7:10PM  (United Kingdom) time.

Here is the Map of this Hop/flight/general including the Waypoints we will be using.




AIRCRAFT SPEED RULES

During the tours we have users which use a variety of Aircraft etc. Some of the aircraft are faster than the other ones, so im going to provide a speed rule for each hop. This way everyone will be able to stay together without rushing. If you have any Questions or problems with the given speed, please reply in the thread.
For this hop/flight, the aircraft speed reccomendation will be:

150+ Knots Maximum

ill be there in my B-17
(hey! its not fast!)

Looking good, Chaps...

I'll be there in my Default Beech Baron 58 as usual.... ...!

...certainly not a high speed jet, commercial jet, or single engined War Bird....!

..and certainly not a multi-engined War Bird!...!

..and I will definitely NOT get involved in fancy (dangerous) aerobatics, before, during, or after the flight.......!

....nudge...nudge.... ...!

Trust me...... ...!

...just the usual, default, General Aviation, touring aircraft, like we used to fly in the "Good Old Sim V Touring Days"...long ago!.......!

Paul...G-BPLF...Uncle Bill's Default Beech Baron 58.... ...!

Note: When it appears that certain members do not appear to be using their selected "Default Aircraft", it is because another (annoying?) member in the group is using a NON-STANDARD and/or NON-DEFAULT aircraft which does not appear in all the other members Hangars......!

....why do I have to keep repeating this?... .......!

i wont be able to attend as planned tonight. Other plans and i have school tommorow so its a no go. see you next week

I tried to connect but failed again about 20 times. No router but Thompson DSL modem. So have fun on your flights, chaps. I'll try again somewhere in the future. For now I'm off to that other serious server.

Crash

Darn, I thought this started at 20:00!

I noticed crash and TSC both showing up and disappearing on the FSHost notices a bunch of times as we were enroute.  I figured that someone already logged on did not have their ports open correctly.   I was there when the only one online for the tour in addition to me was bonair.  Got on early for a change.  Most everyone else joined after the two of us.  

OH... but there were also two folks flying somewhere else at a UK airport ....... I can't remember the names.

And Fozzer, it is not a probelm caused by the router for the router USER....... it is a problem for anyone connecting via ANY method if someone ALREADY connected has ports not opened.

best,

........................john

Same here...... DSL modem connected directly to the lines.

I thought you had a DIAL UP modem not DSL?  SAY............  .......... that DSL modem almost for sure has ports that have to be opened TOO!  I had to do that on mine.

Check that out.......... it is just like a ROUTER in that respect.

best,

......................john

Fozzer,

Mine is plugged direct into the phone lines, autodetects and so on for BASIC use also........ but I still had to deal with the ports issue.  Maybe usb is different than Ethernet DSL modems in that regard?  Did you call your ISP about the need (or lack thereof) to open ports for online gaming use?

best,

.....................john

Hello Chums....

...Continuing the Dreaded Port Saga...

Contacted my Service Provider this morning for advice on "Port Opening" and they informed me that all their necessary Ports for on-line gaming are all open, (which is normal).

My Thomson 330 USB ADSL Modem (Supplied by my ISP) is connected directly to my 'Phone line, with no Router installed.

It does not require any Port Opening to be carried out, (there are no software provisions for it), and it only applies to Modems which contain a Router, (whether wireless or not), or computers systems which contain a separate Router in addition to the Modem.

Note that reading the FAQ in FS Host's help file states that the most common cause of members being disconnected during game play, is either because there are too many players on line and there is insufficient band width to cope with them all.....
...or...
One or more of the players have their "Frame Rate" set too high.

For on-line Multiplayer gaming, the frame rate must be locked at no more than 20 Frames Per Sec (FPS).
Any higher or unlimited FPS requires excessive band width, and Players will be disconnected automatically to allow the system to function smoothly.

SO...!!

Menu > Options > Settings > Display > Hardware > Target Frame Rate > lock at 20 FPS...!

A thorough check on my setup seems to fully comply with all the above.... ...!
...thank goodness......!

Cheers all...!

Paul....G-BPLF.... ...!


Technical info on Ports, Firewalls and Routers....>>>>

Paul,

Interesting thing about the usb dsl modems.  My Actiontek DSL modem DOES have ports that needed to be addressed ... but is just called a "modem". 

You'll find that 20fps info on speed on most FSHost flight server's information pages. 

Been running at locked 20 for a long time........ all the time,....even offline.  Based on NickN's advice about how to get the best performance.  In fact had that discussion online (via chat!) with someone last night on the SimV server.

Glad that is not the issue.

best,

.........................john

Hi Chaps, sorry for the inconvienience you have received. I have filed this problem, and i have forwarded it to SAM, to see if he can help with things and/or check on logs to see exactly what is going on.

Please bear with us.

As John said Jimbo, it's not your fault, so you don't need to apologise or try to solve it - it's just one of those things.  

























Of course, if you don't get it sorted pronto then I'll break your f*****g legs!!!

 

TSC.

TSC.. I'll set her on ya

......runs get the sun filters when seeing the pic..........

Hi there,

Well this sounds like the usual port problem.
There is unfortunately not much we can do about. We can´t even do a port scan
cause UDP Ports don´t give you a feedback when connecting
unlike TCP ports. So all I can tell you again is... "make sure your ports are open, make sure
you´r firewall is configured correctly (or off), make sure you don´t have FSInn running in the background!!!!!!!!".

In very rare cases I experienced the same behaviour even when people
are connected who definitely  have their ports open (like .. just xabbu and me beeing on the server).

Sometimes FS Muliplayer is just mysterious

Gilbert the maker of FSHost once gave his best to explain the FS Port system to me .

Quote:


So as you can see.. it´s not that easy to figure out what exactely went wrong.... in cases a player can´t connect.

What you can try is to connect to port 23457 wich will not be found on our server. So FS than might try to use an
alternative port wich may work (or not).

This also helps in case you get you get kicked from the server by our intrusion detection system
wich means the session will close and you don´t find it anymore in your MP window. Doesn´t happen often but it does happen.
(not your fault, nothing you can do about, nothing we can do about cause our head admin is not going to change this)

I wish it was easier

cheers,

sam
