Simviation Forums

Sooooo I wanna fly on line but I literally how no clue how to do it. I also fancy flying for a virtual airline but again I have no clue what to do.

Can anyone give me any tips or advice =]

no noticeable frame rate loss for me, but I'm spoiled with a goodish computer.

I'm still totally confused at the moment, I been online in the FSX multi-player but it just kicked me off after about 30 seconds. I've looked at VATSIM but that's just confusing.

Try putting this into your port #

23456


and forward your ports to that^

The reason why it kicked you out, is because your trying to get into the Free flight lobby, its the biggest in FSX... so everyone does.  and I think its better because there's none of the AI stuff.

First Download FSHostClient.

Then Install it (you have to manually install)

Start FSX then start FSHostClient & put in an IP address (an open one is 203.114.130.15.) then press connect. Find an airport where others are playing & go to there.

If you want to play on the Simv server PM Fozzer for the Password (he might want a bag of cookies but if you tell him I sent you you might get it free )

Then Start FSHostClient put in the Simv IP Address & the password & connect. 

Ports which must be open
(Scroll down and it will give you the ports for Gamespy)

How to port-forward
(Make sure that in your router settings, your computer is a fixed IP! Your entire internet connection won't be affected, but it will mean that ports aren't trying to forward to an IP that no longer exists)


I haven't noticed a bad effect on framerates from multiplayer. That said, it won't improve your frame rate! Try locking it to a number... I believe the SimV servers ask for it to be at 20FPS locked for consistency between users.

Pop down to the Multiplayer Forum, and all will be explained there, for FS 2004 and FSX Multiplayer Pilots.... :)...!

We already have a number of regular FS 2004 + FSX Multiplayer pilots using the dedicated Simviation Server...>>> http://178.63.253.134:81/

It is Password protected, (to deter the unwelcome), and the Password can be provided upon receipt of the required quantity of Chocolate Cookies.... ;)...!
