Is it enjoyable to play online with other pilots!
I had an anomoly with my first multiplayer experience that is scaring me from going back to MSN Gamezone and fly again.
The game loaded and everyone was checked in, I switched my plane to a F16 falcon and just as I was taking off my screen started flickering and then turning White and blue!
Then I had to manually shut it off because none of the controls were responding. Someone told me that the problem may have been because I didn't close all windows and my Instant messenger was still running and someone may have been trying to write me.
But when I rebooted the computer it claimed something was wrong with the display driver. I had no issues with it before until now. Can you help me out.
How did you go about setting up your online experience?

FSHostspy 1.1 is the thing i use for finding servers.
Multiplayer usually works OK, but it seems that if someone has a bad ping everyone connected gets choppy framerates.
If someone has a plane that you don't have it will show up as the machine which you started the sim with. ou will see a lot of floating cessna 182's when flying online.
For multiplayer to work every player needs to have the same DirectX version. i think you got into this problem.
FSHostspy has filter options to take care of that (and of empty servers)
