Hi i have fs2004 and a good internet connection so why not mix them and fly online? how do i do it? is Vatsim hard to get into? thanks. any pointers would be great! (i'd like to fly with the pmdg 737). It seems a lot harder than IL2 the other simulator which i fly online.

If you have got a Router then your problems are just starting...

...the DREADED "Port" problems... :'(...!

Have a read through all the recommendations on "Opening Ports" in this Forum....Otherwise you will constantly get disconnected..(and get other Flyers disconnected!!).... :o...!

Paul....G-BPLF....Simple Modem and no Router.... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

P.S. This will probably convince you to throw the bleedin' Router away!.... ;)....>>>>
