Multiplayer help please with CFS2

[sparetire]

I have a couple of questions for CFS2.

1. How can I drop bombs or shoot rockets in multiplayer?

2. What is this FShost I keep reading about and where can I find it?

3. If I have my firewall turned off do I still need to open ports for my game and voice chat?

Thank you for your help.

You can't use FSHost to fly CFS its for FS2002/FS9 only.

For CFS multiplay you need to use the "ZONE" and you can use bombs and rockets..

If your firewall is off there's no need to open ports.

See the Multiplayer made simple sticky at the top for how to  connect via the "ZONE".  The instructions are more or less the same for  all the CFSims.

Thanks for the info ENO.   But I have FS2002 and FS2004 also and I would still like to know What and where the FS host is.      

Another question about CFS2....  How do you fly Multiplayer missions?   I see different multiplayer missions in the simviation files but when I go to multiplayer on the zone or just hook up via LAN, I never see a place to activate a mission.  I know both players have to have the mission and correct aircraft installed on their computer to use it.   Other than that im lost.

Tis all in the multiplayer made simple thread ..... wot i wrote  ;D

Well most of it is.

I cant speak for playing over a LAN as however it would require the proper ports being opened in any network device.

FSHost/HostSpy are sister programs that enable you to host games and find other gemes online respectively. Follow the link in the multiplayer thread for both.
