Hey all,
I decided I must try SimV multiplayer, so I downloaded FShost (I use FSX) and opened FSHostClient.exe.
I enter a name and port 23456.
Then I enter my IP adress, but when I search for sessions it says it can't find any.

What am I doing wrong?  Embarrassed

FIRST, and most important, read & follow this thread, EXACTLY, or you will have problems, as well as potentially cause a connection problem for others. Wink

http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1252421080





When that is done, before you start FSX do the following:

-Click the FSHostClient.exe


...







-This will pop up:

In the IP address window, enter: fs.netfrag.org like I did, and click 'Search IP for sessions'


...







-When it finds SimV's server, click Connect at the bottom. The chat window will pop up. Wink

...




...




Now, start FSX in Windowed mode, and leave it that way. 


Set AI traffic to 0%  and lock frames to 20 and you should be good  to go.

Thanks, but it seems like I can't create a port.
I'll try that again later.
