Connecting to Multiplayer DURING a flight?

[Fozzer]

Hello Lads...!

Maybe I'm missing something here....::)...

I am now in the middle of a flight....

...but how the flippin' Norah do I connect to Multiplayer DURING A FLIGHT, without having to end the flight, go back to the Main Settings Menu, connect, and start all over again.... >:(...!

...remember there is now no option to Connect to Multiplayer in the drop-down menu during the flight, as there was in FS 2004.....
...arse... >:(...!!

The Multiplayer connection malarkey in FSX has suddenly become extremely annoying.... ....
...it was simple, and straightforward in FS 2004...as everything was in FS 2004... ...!

Cheers all...!

Paul....18 FPS over KSFO....  ;D...!

How do YOU accomplish this whilst YOU are in the middle of a flight, and YOU have not connected to FS Host/Multiplayer before the flight started...?

In other words, YOU are happily flying on your own, and YOU decide to connect to Multiplayer to see who is on there, and maybe get them to fly along with YOU without exiting your existing flight to connect to Multiplayer...?

This could be done easily in FS 2004, but how in FSX...?

get the FSHost Client, open it before you fly
then during the flight  if you want to MP you can use the added menu option to connect/disconnect realy useful

Mobile 'Phone Text Speak is for all those annoying buggers who insist on using Mobile 'Phones to annoy dear old Fozzer... ...!

Why the flippin' heck didn't Uncle Bill leave Multiplayer Connections the same as it was in FS 2004, with the drop-down, in flight, menu option.... ...!

it changed because useing game spy it ment MS did less work, but the MP is good you can not deniy (not sure on spelling help me please fozzer) that, you know no lag, smooth animations and things good fun

but the FShost people said that in future releases they are adding animations, smoke and all the features of FSX MP into their client so thats good news just need to wait
