Simviation Forums

I click on the room, I click join, filght simulator starts up, a window shows up that says connectin to multiplayer or something like that. it goes away and then, I get disconnected or something, i ext flight and theres a window that says the zone has paused you while you were playing or something. Why is that?

Please say what "or something" is...that might help with the diagnosis  ;)

Why are you flying at the zone?  Ick.

[quote]Why are you flying at the zone?

The Zone automatically pauses your connection once you enter the the game lobby.  What ISP are you using?

if you are using anything other than internet explorer  connect to your normal isp the use internet explorer

the zone is crap i used to use it but now i mostly do IP games

that is what i do

Get a program called FSHost-Spy (and FSHost if you want to host flights).

You can run FSHost-Spy and see all the FS2k2 and FS9 servers that are up and running at that time. You can see what IP they are using, the people that are flying in there, where they are at, what acft. they are using, etc, etc.

Then fire up your game, start up Multiplayer, type in the IP of the server you want to join and off you go. No need to fly on the Zone.

Both programs are available here: http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshostspy/

Good luck and happy flying.

Are your ports open through a firewall?
