There is even a Simviation airport(FS9) in the downloads for just such an occasion.

i might but not sure what i need

Shane,

The PROBLEM with this one..... is that a single person who does not understand setting up for multiplayer will prevent others from logging on or cause them to get booted off the server.

So if you are someone who is reading this for maybe the first time....... and you don't KNOW about how to set your PORTS up correctly..... PLEASE see the stickies a the top of this forum section BEFORE joining a session on the server.

best,

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

Paul... ... ... ...!

I'll keep an eye open for the meeting...hoping that my CFS 2: "WW II Pacific Theater" is the correct version to use?

Will we be using the "Default Country" (Pacific Theater: Henderson, etc.) version of the Sim, flying in the Default Areas? http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs2/

Now I'm really confused Paul. Where does it say anything about CFS2?

Good point John.


Setting ports is about as easy as it gets, and everything you need to know to get online is laid out in the stickies.

And failing that, we're always here to help.

Fozz- I generalized MSFS hoping all versions with multiplayer would show up.

I know that FS2002/FS2004/ & FSX are all able to fly together on our server with no problem.

Allen_Z sees that Mitch speaks of himself in the 3rd person. Allen_Z thinks that is strange

I expect to get on this evening.  (US Eastern local time)

I'll probably be on @ 7 est tonight.  We should do a flyin or something

I will be on tomorrow! (Sunday)

Never did make it tonight.  Maybe tomorrow.

best,

Ill try to be here tomorrow.  Going to my aunts to have dinner

We discussed this yesterday online, it happend to multiple people.

It is most likely the port problem.  Unfortunately, there seems to be a good deal of variables making this a difficult to figure out problem.

If you are not able to log on, please take note of who is online and post it here, and maybe we can narrow it down to who we need to help with ports.

I never had a problem logging on or staying on, regardless of who was on, or how many, or what sim they were using. Maybe it's me?

Don't you just love technology?

Actually, Applepie, i've had that too before.  I actually found the problem for me was that I had too many aplications running and it was hogging my internet connection.  Try to close all your internet dependant apps befor you fly.   That and someone didn't have their ports right...

I'll try to hop on sometime around 4pm US Eastern.
Just purchased Carenado's brilliant PA-34 Seneca for FSX, so I'll be flying with that! Not sure what location yet.

EDIT: I'll say 4:30pm at this point. Will be flying the Carenado Seneca. Location: Either Tasmania or Florida Keys area.

I don't think that's the case though, because I joined earlier and I was running both FS and firefox at the same time.

I keep a careful watch on the Processor and GPU temperatures, and monitoring them. Lots of air circulating fans, and heat sinks well bedded down.
My Hard drive is getting a bit overcrowded now, and what seems to happen sometimes is; if I am quietly running a program, and suddenly call up another program to run alongside it, the system gets confused with all the Multitasking going on, and gives up the Ghost!... ...!
Regular "de-fragging" the HDD to clean up the system doesn't seem to make much difference.
It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, its always at the most inopportune times, (Multiplayer Sessions!).... ...!

Paul... ...!

Multitasking: Brushing the teeth, making a cup of Coffee, and Shaving at the same time.

Got online tonight for a couple of hours.  Did a circuit at KBOS to test out my flying a bit and then did an IFR hop from RJAA (Narita) to RJBB (Kansai) in Japan as JAL 651. 

First time I have flown in about 3-4 MONTHS!  Really needed the checklist to start up the simpit  .  Amazing how much you forget in that short timeframe. 

However, I managed to do two visual approach landings without killing anyone.

Hopefully I'll be able to keep up regular flying now for a while.

best,

There were about 4-5 others flying around the SimV world too when I was on.
