It could be your firewall. Are you running a Windows default or a third party?

If you are running FS 2004 then there are no problems or difficulties.

The method of connecting to Multiplayer in the drop-down Menu is straightforward, and we all use it without major problems....

I wouldn't think so, but I guess anything is possible.

...for some reason, (connection difficulties?), I find very few Multiplayer Simmers use FSX for their on-line flights, both here and at other Sites I regularly use..!

I think there also may be problems with differing scenery (Airfield altitudes, positions, etc), between FS 2004/FSX programs

All-round, FS 2002 and FS 2004 still seem to be the most popular programs for trouble-free Multiplayer activity...!

F...G-BPLF... Cool

P.S....Oh....and dont forget to LOCK your Frame Rate to 20 FPS!...!

I keep mine at 24 when online. That's what most movies and other videos are shown at I believe. Something involving the eye's perception of fluidity with the frames...

I believe some of the Servers advise something like 20 FPS to discourage over-enthusiasts from selecting "Unlimited" Frame Rates, and slowing everyone down to a stutter!... Wink

LOL....interesting analogy Fozz. Grin

I would never select unlimited frames online, since that's just rude to the other users, but I think the low 20 range should be fine.

For FSX multiplayer, see the stickies at the top of this board for everything you need to do. Smiley

For FS9 it's just one click to happiness Wink

, but for FSX you need to download a few pieces of software, and connect using those, or you have to try and deal with the dreaded Gamespy bug. Undecided

I'm not sure anyone on here even plays multiplayer using FSX because it crashes alot with online play. Undecided
