Hey guys,
i don

Go here: http://zone.msn.com/en/flightsim98/arti ... ookie=true

Login/register then login.
It will d/l some msn gamezone stuff, then scroll down the list of the different flight sims and select:
Flight Simulator: A Century of Flight
Free flying

Then look around at the different hosted sessions, choose one that looks interesting, i also look out for ones that already have a few people in aswell.  Click Join, then a pop up will appear, click join on this.  Although sometimes this llatter option is not available, if you click info there should be an I.P.  Boot-up FS9 and go to multiplayer and type the I.P in and click join.  When joined set your weather to updated every 15 mins, as most people use this, and choose your aircraft.  However sometimes you don't start where everyone else starts, so check what airport you are supposed to be at by either looking in the info part that i mentioned earlier or press enter whilst in FS and type in ?help there are various commands that can be input to find information out.  The other way is to just type your question in and someone should be able to answer it for you.  You can talk to people using that feature.

Mr. Rayban,

Go into the Multiplayer setup screen in your fs2004 sim, and in the little box up at the upper right side type in the fiollowing string of numbers

66.147.177.125

Then click on "Search".

At the top of the large left hand box you should now see a line of text ending with a number in parentheses ........ something like (97ms).  The number reflects how "fast" the connection to the flight server is going....so it cen be most anything.

If after doing this you DON'T have that line showing there on the left.... you are not getting out on the internet.  So that will be the place to start looking at the issues preventing you from connecting.  Likely they are a firewall or router or cable modem or ISP problem.

If you DO get a line there..... go down to the bottom of the screen and click "join".  Shortly after that, the fs2004 chat window should pop up with information in it about how to fly on that FSHost server (WSPilots).

It is a free flight server most of the time.

Try this and let us know what happens.

I have always had issues with trying to connect via "The Zone"  ;).

best,

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


PS:  Oh...... don't be surprised if this thread gets moved by one of the mods to "Multiplayer" anyway  ;).
