hey, i'm completely new to the multiplayer thing...um, so do i enter that ip address at the multiplayer screen on FS? does this thing even run anymore? i went to the screen to see who was online but it said no one, and then went to the map and there were a few people i think, but none of them seemed to move, so i think it might just be something wrong with my connection. so i dont know... help...

If you see no-one beeing online on the website (cockpit.netfrag.org) than the server is empty.
On the map you can see the last position of user who were online for the last 24 hours (joko and xabbu are still working on that feature
so things might change). People who are online are specially marked on the map.
And yes.. you just have to type in the IP address in your muliplayer settings.
Make sure your ports are open (firewall, router)!!! This is VERY important because if you connect with closed ports
other people are not able to join !!! It can also happen that you can

Hi Sam......!

Have a peek here...

Well Lads...
The prearranged, Sunday night's, European Tour:

Tonight's hop was a right old wash-out... ...!

...and to make matters worse...
A few of the other Sim V lads were heavily involved in their own practice session in another part of the World... ...!
It's very confusing when two or more independent groups are all using the same Server for their flights at the same time...!
So, the choice is between Sam's server and WSPilots Server if two or more groups are on line at the same time...?
Or, have a word in Sam's shell-like 'earole and see if he can rustle up a couple more Port Addresses, in addition to 23456, eg; 23457 and 23458, (as WSPilots do)... ...?

Cheers all...!

Paul...G-BPLF... ...!

What do you reckon, regarding adding extra Port Addresses, eg; 23457 and 23458, to the existing 23456...to prevent this problem...?

Cheers Sam...!

Paul...G-BPLF......!

[mrjake2002]

Hey all, im desparatly in need of help in relation to connecting to the simviation server. Does the thing about opening ports only apply to people with routers?? I have flown on many servers and have had no problems until now. Please help, i really want to attend the next airshow as well as fly on this server. Btw, many times i check there is no one online. I have only tried to connect when there is people online.
Thanks for any help.

Hey Sam,

Haven't loaded FS9 back up but did successfully connect up to your server with FSX using the beta release of FSHostClient. Flew with Jared a bit before he had to go placate his girlfriend.
Hopefully the next release of FSHostClient, the official release will be more intuitive.

I have to admit, I don't like the Multiplay of FSX going through GameSpy. Maybe it's just because I am not used to it.

Hope to see you all flying soon.
