When it comes to On-line Multiplayer, I have always enjoyed joining in, in either Solo or Multiplayer Flights, for many years, all round the World, with all my friends, in FS 2002 and FS 2004 with all the ease, and instant free connectivity of FS Host...(or even personal IP address to IP address!)....

...!

With FSX, Multiplayer became a bit of a difficulty, (apparently), due to the MS insistence in using their own, complicated system for connecting to the Internet, which may be the reason why we see so little FSX Multiplayer activity, (including me), compared to FS 2002 and FS 2004?

The simple, drop-down, Menu system used to connect to On-Line Multiplayer in FS 2004 is so simple and straightforward, I see no reason to change it for future versions of the Flight Sim, (which included FSX!)...!

Paul....FS 2004...FS Navigator...and Multiplayer!.... Cool

Cool

...!

This is where FSX FSHOST CLIENT would come in. you can fly your FSX on someones FSHost Server, while someone else flies their FS2004/9.1 on the same server and you both see each other.

(guessing) Flight Online Multiplayer server: Micro$oft - Live, would be nothing more than 1 GIANT ZONE.COM, Gamespy, FSHOST. but instead of only a few people flying in their own personal spaces within the online environment, not seeing the other "servers"... my guess is EVERYONE is going to be on 1 server almost like Vatsim with everyone trying to talk over everyone or there will be some sort of "Teamspeak-like" rooms that you do talk in and can move around, but all 'flights' will be flying in 1 massive arena/server so you see 10,000 airplanes and helos circling LAX landing on top of each other because noone wants to give right-of-way to the next 747-400, or 787 that is in line.

The beauty of the present FS Host Servers for FS 2002/FS 2004 is that we can pick, (in advance if required), a Server of our common choice from the long list of Servers, with little possibility of other annoying Simmers gate-crashing it, and spoiling the Session.

(Note that the Sim V Multiplayer Server is Password Protected for that very reason...and why we regularly use it!).

Just a few friends on-line, in clear skies, is quite enough!

Paul.... Cool

Micro$oft did the same thing with only showing HAWAII before they launched FSX. my question to Micro$oft is, "where the @#$%^ is the rest of the damn world???"

Princess Juliana airport is in the Carribean, rather a long ways from Hawai'i don't you think? Shocked

Actually, ACES studio decided to scrap their own incomplete in-house multiplayer system and instead license the GameSpy system. Even they later admitted that it was a "Huge Mistake..." (from the "For What It's Worth Department") Roll Eyes

I fire up my Flight Sim (FS 2004), and connect to the Multiplayer server via the drop down menu in the sim.

Instant connection for flying on-line, solo, or with other flight simmers..!

I'm doing it now!...>>> http://178.63.253.134:81/

P.S I notice the the FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) in the Multiplayer Forum no longer works...

Never mind..it is so simple with FS 2004!...

FSX is slightly more complicated (apparently?)...

I can lead your through the FS 2004 Menu....
...but maybe some one with FSX can help?

You can see why I/We still use FS 2004 when it comes to Multiplayer!... Grin

In FS2004:
With the Sim running...and you are on the ground...
Press "Alt"
Menu:
Flights.
Multiplayer.
Connect....

Type in your Name.
The IP address of the Multiplayer Server you have selected. (WS Pilots in this case)...
Click...."Search"....
When successful...click "Join"
..and you are away...Flying on-line!

FSX should be somewhat similar?

Its part of the standard Flight Sim...

Pressing ALT will show the "Menu" at the top of the screen.

To get access to the Multiplayer Option.

I just printed a screen shot of the Option screen for Multiplayer connection.

Paul.

Note: You've got to have the Sim up and running, with you on the ground...then press the "Alt" key to get access to the drop down menu.

P.S... Have a peek in the Multiplayer Forum down below.
A little bit there about connecting to Multiplayer when using FSX...(Unnecessarily complicated!).
FS 2004 is so much easier!

So you have no problem connecting to FSX Multiplayer...

Do this test for me:

In FSX, connect to this IP address...>>> 66.90.73.187

Select "World Tour"...

Then look here to see if you appear in Port address; 23458, on the right-hand side...>>>

http://www.wspilots.com/

Then look here to see if you appear...>>>

http://66.90.73.187:8082/

Pressing "Enter" in FSX Windowed Mode should bring up the Chat Window with you on it...and anyone else who joins!

If you do then you can join me (or anyone else with FSX) with my FS 2004...

...!

Are we back to the issues of ports being opened?

Hey guys... maybe split this developing multiplayer discussion off (it is getting way off the "Leaked Picture" topic) and head it down to the multiplayer section?

Good idea John...

Send the Multiplayer parts down to the Multiplayer Forum.

This should then be back on topic...sorry!

It seems that a lot of Simmers are having problems with FSX Multiplayer using Gamespy, and difficulties with FSHost Client?

Done Fozzer.

best,

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

Thanks, John!

With a bit of to-ing and fro-ing between us, Jetprop has now managed to get his FSX running successfully using FSHostClient, and we have both connected to a particular Flight Sim Server with no problems.
Me using FSHost for FS 2004, and Jetprop using FSHostClient for FSX!

Now we need MORE On-Line Multiplayer Pilots!

You either have to pick one of the Servers in the FS Host list where there is already a pilot, (or more), there....

Run FS Host Spy to get a list of all the servers, and show who is on line....http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshostspy/ Latest Version 1.3

Or alternatively arrange with someone to join you on a particular Server of your choice...

If there is no-one on a Server, then you are on your own, until someone shows up!

Try one of these Servers and see if someone shows up...>>>

WS Pilots: 66.9073.187 (Two of us have already been on this Server today)....Have a peek here...>>> http://www.wspilots.com/

NZ Pilots: 203.114.253.134

Sim V: 178.63.353.134 ....(but you will need a password).

Or Pick a Server in FS Host where there is already a Pilot, and join them!

Paul...

If there is no-one else at the Station...you may be on the Train on your own!.... Wink

I keep the following "Short-cuts" on my Desktop:

FS9.
FS Host Spy.
(FSX.)
(FS Host Client.)
VOZ Switcher, FS 2004.
REX Weather Engine, FS 2004.
(Plus anything else which is handy for the Flight Sim at short notice!).

Bookmarked in my Browser: A list of my favourite FS Host Servers, and their IP addresses.

This means I can quickly pick my choice!
