I suspect that you were using FSX for the flight?

Most of the flyers were using FS 2004 with no problems.

Sierra Hotel uses FSX with no problems, I gather, so have a word with him regarding using FSX for our Multiplayer Flights...;)...!

Paul...G-BPLF...Win XP...FS 2004...No Router.... :)...!

...have you experimented with a "Single Player" (just you) Flight on Sim V's Multiplayer...?

Does the game actually pause as there is a flashin "PAUSE" on the bottom lines or does the game just stand still? If it doesn't say pause then I think it might be a video card problem. ;) Mine does that ocasionally. FS9

Do you know what..

There are so many daily problems with FSX, one way and another, that I am convinced to stay with FS 2004 for the foreseeable future....

.....ESPECIALLY for On-Line Multiplayer activity...[smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

I have never had any Multiplayer connection problems following the introduction of FS 2002/2004...;)...!

Paul....G-BPLF.... 8-)...!

P.S. FSX is installed on my hard drive, (and rarely used), but ONLY FS 2004 is used for trouble-free, reliable, Multiplayer flights, whether Solo, or Group flights... :-*...!
I fly on-line seven days per week, with Sim V and other Sites, so my FS Program needs to be reliable.....hence FS 2004...!

Once you get used to the new servers and setting up flights, FSX multiplayer works fairly well, Paul.

Just like moving up from Cubs to Skyhawks to Barons to Bombardiers to Boeings, you just have to get used to the new controls and the like.

;) ;D

Darrin... ;)...!

I note your long lists of all sorts of problems in the FSX Forum on a daily basis, and surprisingly, although I and others fly FS 2004 Multiplayer every day of the Week with no problems, we never spot you, "Problem Free", on line...;)...!

Whereas we FS 2004 Flyers experience no Multiplayer problems whatsoever during our regular flights with each other... :)...!

The same goes for almost all the regular FS 2004 Pilots on various other Sites.

The FS 2004 Scenery may not be quite as snazzy as FSX, but at least the Program is reliable, predictable, and easy to connect and remain connected, when used in the on-line Multiplayer application...which we prove...regularly...;)...!

We constantly see the FSX Pilots desperately trying to connect with the server...with no luck... 8-)...!
Only they know why...!

Paul...Daily Multiplayer Pilot for <10 years.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

My preference is for ease and reliability... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Pop in here at various time and spot how many FS 2002/FS2004/and FSX Pilots are on line...;)...>>>>
