Hi Guys,
               I'm really really curious about this multiplayer stuff. I have a few questions I wish to place upon you

     1) People like eskyworld do they host there own servers ?
     
     2) How do I fly with real ATC

     3) If i join a room with multiplayer and say there are 100 people in that room how do i know where they are ?
       
     4) In a room do we have a whole world to play with

      5) Is there a controller for every piece of land in the room (i.e the world)

      6) and finally do the controllers see us as blimps on a radar screen

                 im so sorry this is really really long
              Please answer anyone you want or all  :)


           thanks, ace  :)

1.  Not sure.  I'm sure there's a mix of guys who run their own servers and those who rent space.

2.  With eskyworld.com, VATSIM.net, IVAO.org or westcoastatc.com.

3.  You'll have to ask 'em.  lol

4.  Yes.

5.  No.  That would be impossible.  Usually what happens is you'll have a controller doing multiple jobs at the same time.

6.  They'll see you as a blimp if you're flying one, but otherwise they'll see you as a blip.  ;)

Thanks Hyperion for that lol  :) But one more question..............

5.  No.  That would be impossible.  Usually what happens is you'll have a controller doing multiple jobs at the same time.

Is that not demanding on the controller ??

hey if i can eat and type at the same time im sure they can do 2 things at once...oh no spilt some salad cream on the keyboard

daz

It's very demanding, which is why there aren't nearly as many controllers as there could be.

Working 10 planes at once with more departing each few minutes in a TRACON makes me exausted, working the whole world would drive me to the point of rambling to myself and going crazy.  :o  ::)

Ha ha ha..... I'm 14 too, and got into flying with a TCP/IP multiplayer. I run my own channel now, and you are welcome to join.
