Does flying online effect frame rates much and also how do you even do it?

[Dave71K]

Sooooo I wanna fly on line but I literally how no clue how to do it. I also fancy flying for a virtual airline but again I have no clue what to do.

Can anyone give me any tips or advice =]

no noticeable frame rate loss for me, but I'm spoiled with a goodish computer.

I'm still totally confused at the moment, I been online in the FSX multi-player but it just kicked me off after about 30 seconds. I've looked at VATSIM but that's just confusing.

Try putting this into your port #

23456


and forward your ports to that^

The reason why it kicked you out, is because your trying to get into the Free flight lobby, its the biggest in FSX... so everyone does.  and I think its better because there's none of the AI stuff.

First Download FSHostClient.

Then Install it (you have to manually install)

Start FSX then start FSHostClient & put in an IP address (an open one is 203.114.130.15.) then press connect. Find an airport where others are playing & go to there.

If you want to play on the Simv server PM Fozzer for the Password (he might want a bag of cookies but if you tell him I sent you you might get it free )

Then Start FSHostClient put in the Simv IP Address & the password & connect.

Ports which must be open
(Scroll down and it will give you the ports for Gamespy)

How to port-forward
(Make sure that in your router settings, your computer is a fixed IP! Your entire internet connection won't be affected, but it will mean that ports aren't trying to forward to an IP that no longer exists)


I haven't noticed a bad effect on framerates from multiplayer. That said, it won't improve your frame rate! Try locking it to a number... I believe the SimV servers ask for it to be at 20FPS locked for consistency between users.
