Flight planning...

[Mayfly]

Ive just tried fs host & it says no sessions found the ip seemed to work tho'

[Prometheus]

Try 67.99.18.212
Wasn't very active last time I tried but give it a whirl

[Tom.com]

got it - how do i use it?

if i have done it right with that ip then there is 1 there but not yours

It now will not let me login

I'm giving up what is the accelerator thing?

[Saracenman]

thanks Prometheus - Wedgy found one too which seems to exist as well - 80.237.155.34

Tom.com - download and install FSHostClient from here - http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshost/download.html

once installed, start a single player FSX session (free flight) with a Piper Cub and then start FSHostClient with that IP address - or if that fails use Prometheus' one, but tell me

I'm sure you'll figure it out from there - you're a bright lad

[Tom.com]

ok if it dont work im giving up

[Saracenman]

it should work Tom.com - anyway, ignore MY IP address - it doesn't work

use Prometheus' 67.99.18.212 - you should get a little chatbox come up - on the right you will see "saracenman" - if you right-click on my u/name select "jump to saracenman's location"

sorted

oh by the way - you'll all be able to see me, but not Wedgy - he's connected on my LAN so can't see anyone other than me!

sm

ps - ignore the Acceleration pack idea - it's extra FSX software

[Prometheus]

These younguns have no patience

[Saracenman]

come on Tom.com - use FSHost mate - it's easy - here's the tutorial - viewtopic.php?f=12&t=27&p=93&hilit=FSHost#p93

[Tom.com]

where do i enter the ip and name?????!?!?!?!?!?! ARGH

[Wedgy]

In the box for the IP address?

There is only 3 boxes ... Player Name, IP Address & Connect port. Put your name and IP in.

[Tom.com]

using 1.1 ive got 1 with 5 players but nothing about iconic

[Prometheus]

Tom it won't mention Iconic, instead you should see something like *Netwings (FSHost 3.2)

[Tom.com]

that was good

we should do that again with more people

[Mayfly]

they beat you up then Tom & make you crash (they do me )

[Tom.com]

it was ok would have been more fun with more people

[Mayfly]

how many of you ?

[Tom.com]

yeah once we sorted out the buggeration that was GameSpy/FSHost it was fine - as Tom.com says, could have done with a few more souls

Prometheus practised his new way to land a Wokka on a carrier though!

Atleast I landed it...sort of Did you get a screenshot ?

[Saracenman]

sadly not Prometheus - my snapping finger is nowhere near as fast as a nose-diving Chinook!

[Nickolas]

Ooooooooooh you lot are harsh.

[Saracenman]

tell you what Nickolas - your lad could do with FSX Acceleration to make him compatible with us on multiplayer.

typical Microsoft incompatibility issues but well worth it - gives you extra a/c etc and replaces SP2

I'm sure he'd be worthy after he's cleaned the car, done the washing up for a month, mown the lawn, tidied his room and hoovered the house from top to bottom!

[Tom.com]

how much is it?

[Saracenman]

not sure where's best to get it Tom.com, but this will give you a rough idea - not that dear really...
