"it used to work"

[KC Jones]

Folks,

Got a puzzlement about FS[9] and CFS.

[KC Jones]

Well, the verdict is in.

..I don't know about seeing other folks non-Default aircraft after modifying the .cfg File as you suggest, but as far as I can remember, it has always been possible to see other Folks moving animations; Landing gear, Flaps, Rudder, Ailerons, Elevators, etc...in Multiplayer.......!

The "Seeing other Folks non-Default Aircraft" has only been possible if you have exactly the same Aircraft, with the same Textures, in your Hangar... ...!

I've never flown online in any version of CFS/FS. Some years ago I asked the regular Multiplayer fanatics here to try this out for me in FS2002. Of course, it would only work if every player in the session did the tweak. The result was much the the same as yours & the silence was deafening.

I still don't know if that CFG tweak works & unless someone is prepared to try it I have no way of finding out. Frustrating isn't it?

Hi there,

[quote]3. I tried to change the config like you did, too.
(ALLOW_PLANE_MODEL_SEND=1 and so on...)
But it never worked for me. Probabely this feature simply

I modified my .cfg file as soon as I read this post, so it now depends on someone else doing the same thing, to see if it works...

I am generally chuffing around the skies in FS 2004 Multiplayer, most days......!

Wow, talk about a bad day.

I changed my FS9.cfg to see if it'll work. Probably not as long as not everyone makes the same changes. What worries me the most is this; if it works wouldn't the bandwidth being used by sending models and textures back and forth reach it's limit very soon, thus resulting in stutters and other problems?

...I have this funny feeling that it probably wont work, otherwise Uncle Bill would have designed the program to allow all Aircraft to be seen in Multiplayer, both Default and Add-on!.....!

To ensure compatibility, I always select Bill's Default Aircraft during on-line, Multiplayer flights with my Chums... ...!

...saves a lot of argument, confusion, and endless on-line discussion......!

[KC Jones]

Two good observations folks.

But as far as bandwidth goes, whatever the bandwidth is for a telephone got to be smaller than cable/Dsl and we didn't get stutters.

My apoligies G-BPLF [Paul] for my sudden fly-over at LOWK today.

I was sitting at KHEF just waiting for someone.

Thanks Fozzer [I'll get your name right

You could use any of the rooms you like. Since no one on the tours hardly ever uses Teamspeak, just click on one and start yapping away with whomever else is there.
