I was wondering if anyone could help me I would go about connecting to this WSpilots sever thats apparently being used on Saturday night for the airshow. Sorry to push early but I dont want to find myself stuck on Saturday night.
I know how to do standard IP multiplayer already.
Thanks in advance

Hiya, Steve. This is a tute that Cspyro sent me. :)

You're running XP, yes?

First, you need to open the relelvant ports "23456", "23457" and "23458". To do so, click "Control Panel => Windows Firewall => Exceptions."

To open the ports, click "Add Port." Call it "WSP 23456 Oceania 2", and the port number is 23456.

Do the same with another one, except this one should be called "WSP 23457 WT", and the prot number is "23457".

1 more, call it "WSP 23458 Antarctica" and the port number is "23458".

The names of the servers may vary, if they do, edit the name of the port.

Thanks for the help Rimshot and Cspyro it worked a treat

Herein lies the problem ................ ONLY OPEN THE PORT FOR THE SESSION YOU WANT TO JOIN >>>>>>otherwise you dump others out of the session.

I assume that is the same for any router you are using aswell as the Windows firewall?

It's interesting to note that your old mate Fozzer doesn't have Microsoft's Service Pack 2 installed...
...nor a ROUTER!...(whatever that is?..)...!
...so...
I never have any problems with getting connected to W S Pilots server... ...!
Woo-hoo...!

Yep and still being on dial-up you still get the lag that those of us on other options don't..

Hi Jared.. ...!

With my system set-up I still get 25-30 FPS when running on Multiplayer, plus MAX graphics options, with all the other Lads...even on dial up... ...!!!

I love it...especially when it  only costs me

Lets leave it at that.
