I am at my wits end trying to figure out why I cannot talk to other pilots live while in multiplayer. I have tried several rooms, checked to make sure my transmit key is correct, etc.. I am using Windows 7. I have calibrated my mic on my computer. I checked out the help section in FSX, and it was little help. I read in another thread that some people are using team speak. Is that worth while? Anyone have any ideas?

Although I have "Team Speak" installed on my Computer, and it works (but prefer not to use it.. Wink

...), from what I can gather, it is the preferred program that most Flight Sim Pilots use for inter-communication in Multiplayer.

It is included, and works with the Sim V Multiplayer Server...>>>

Yes, direct connecting to the server of choice (not through gamespy) and using Teamspeak is your best bet. TS is really easy to use once you get a handle on the GUI format. Give it a try!

Just direct connect using the IP of your favorite servers.

Also, take a look at this website:

Install.....and run, FSHostSpy 1.3.

This will show all the Multiplayer Servers, and their IP Addresses and their Web Addresses, and which Pilots are on line!

Note the Address, and insert the desired IP Address into the FS 2004/FSX Sim Multiplayer window box....

...search...and Join!
