Hi, I have a problem with FS2002 when I play online, the last week I install FS2004 but i still having 2002, the 2004 work excellent, but 2002 don't start the engines and crash on the floor ONLY when i'm in a online game.

Thx

WELCOME to SimV!!!

Sounds like an odd problem.  
I don't have 2004 (ACOF/FS9) yet, so I can't help you. But there are many people here who can!!

In fact, WHERE can we play FS2002 online??????

What is the best site (if there are any), where do people generally go to play online??

Thanx a lot

Probably the most popular is vatsim.net, you need to download a couple of programs there, but they are the only people with real ATC that talks to you!!!
Or if you just want to play online with friends, then download FSHost (available here in the utilities section) and setup a session with friends.

Thanx a lot Ozzie (I see that am not the only fan of Spitfires!!)

VATSIM.net is definitely the best.

(In an interesting side note, I failed their entry level ATC exam last night.  lol  Now I've gotta wait a week to try again.  Bugger.)

the microsoft zone? it has been declining rapidly due to fs2004 but still gets a good few people on it

[Scottler]

BOO!  DAZ!  Not the zone!  The zone is TERRIBLE!

[ggonzalezd]

Yes, the zone is a stupid thing,the people fly without any kind of organization, most of the rooms are unorganized and everyone do whatever they want forgeting the basic rules of the art of flying.

I dont like it, but, some times I fly there

By the way... everyone forgot the original topic, hahaha.

PLEASE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!


I've downloaded all the softwares required to fly with VATSIM (Squawkbox 2.3.5 for FS 2002, SBhost.dll that i put in FS2002 modules). I start the procedure to get connected: I launch the internet, then FS2002, then make that step by step until the moment i click the "join" button (normally, the last thing before the Squawkbox windiw should open and before I should click on "get into action").
SO once i've entered the IP and clicked on "Join", I have a window which says that Squawkbox.exe has encountered a problem and must close!!! If i go back to my FS2002 window, There is the SBHost window which is "fixed" and you can't do anything to close it or move it unless you close FS2002.

Has anyone an idea of what's going on??
I feel so frustrated to fail at THAT step, just before i can get connected..Thanx to you for your help!!!
