You'll have to excuse my aussie accent since i am living in aus and it's rubbed off on me.

[Ian Warren]

OK 'EJ' .. I missed last weeks calling .. Short haul to Wobblyville in a A2A on the NZFF TS channel .. this very Sunday , less the 46 hours NZ time .. bring it on!

[Yob]

cool talk to you then. Will have too practice at flying a bit better now that some one is on board.

[Ian Warren]

Sure it wont be an issue having others jump in

[Yob]

Yea it's fine to have multiple people on a date no seriously the more the better.

when you say 60.. be sure to start 20 minutes earlier or so , also it are using the the Standard NZFF team-speak channel you might want to set that up today so if you have problem get it sorted before the alotted time , you everything up and running rather than sorting out issue and tweaking

[Yob]

Sry guys but i may not be in there's some flooding already with the storms and if i can get in i will.

[Ian Warren]

Forget the fighters then .. Catalina flying boats then , ... best you sort the those unwanted floods first .. better the water rather the fire tho .

[Yob]

Sry that i did not come in, had a storm and killed power for a While.

Sorry bout that.

[Ian Warren]

You find the best MPs are spur of the moment , word via teamspeak and spread during the setup or flight .

Hi Guys,

Just a H/U that our OZx Flying Club friday night regular sessions are back up
if any of you want to join.

We start at 0830Z, which I realise may be past your bedtimes, but we have quite a few
kiwis that join us some nights.

Tomorrow its GA aircraft(our usual) from Whakatane to Wellington, via the East Coast.

Our TS is 203.46.105.41:20050 (OZx Flying Club Comms 1 channel)

And its from here that we
give out the host IP.

Cheers

Can I/we assume that you are using the InSpire Server as Host: 203.114.130.15, (for those of us that don't use/prefer not to use; "Team Speak").

Of course there's always the problem of the dreaded; "Time Zones"!...UK/USA/NZ... ...!

Paul....FS 2004 + FS Navigator....G-BPLF... ...!

Hi Paul,

Not sure i understand what Inspire server...... etc is all about.

Note your sig mentions FS2004.

We are using FSX, and we host via direct link to our ISP addresses. Thats since the FSX Gamespy method of
connecting shut down. I host up to 15 in sessions.

We use TS as voice quality we find to be better.

Cheers

Hello Tony... ...!

InSpire Server (for NZ) [203.114.130.15], is one of the dozens of FS Host Multiplayer Servers for FS 2002, FS 2004, and FSX...>>> http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/

Most of the Multiplayers use the public FS Host Servers...(also the FSX alternative to Game Spy).

It is standard for FS 2002 and FS 2004, and is accessed for FSX using FS Host Client.
(Many of we FS 2002/FS 2004 Pilots also use FS Navigator in the Sessions).
"Teamspeak" is also available for those wishing to use it.

"FS Host Spy" lists all of the Multiplayer Servers. their IP Addresses, etc, and who is on-line!

Paul....FS 2004+FS Navigator,+FSX and FS Tramp... ...!

In the early; "dial-up Internet" days, we were restricted to using each others IP addresses for a limited time in Multiplayer. Since FS Host started we have all been able to use the many Public Servers offered there, for our Broadband, FS 2002, FS 2004, and FSX Multiplayer sessions.

InSPire Server for New Zealand Pilots....>>> http://nzff.org/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t5444.html

I'll try this later this morning , get up to speed with other servers and providers .

[TonyM]

Paul,

Thanks for that, its quite clear to me what its all about now.

Like Ian, I must give that side of multiplayer a try one day, but our present way of
direct connect is working a treat, so as we say
"when it aint broke, don't try to fix it"

I did try FSinn for FS2004, years ago and always suffered big problems and
extreme jerkiness between aircraft, so I guess I have been a bit reluctant to work
with other add on programs to facilitate MP.

Also todays ISPs, provide much larger download limit (and indeed upload) than
they did several years ago.


But as we say, "whatever floats your boat"

Cheers

Two main reasons for problems in Multiplayer:

(a) Getting kicked off the Session: Players Modem/Router Ports not opened for all Player access*. All required Ports must be open!

(b) Players aircraft leaping around in the scene: Some/all players Frame Rates set to Unlimited. They must all be locked to 20 FPS, to prevent Server/Host overload!

Paul...Regular FS 2004/FSX Multiplayer...G-BPLF... ...!

* FS Port Test...>>> http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=737.0 Download, and run the Tester.

B is a primary and the other , people not using CHEAT or JUMP keys every second to stay in any formation , good communication for MP also

[TonyM]

All good info..........

Also in FSX anyway,
another cause of planes jumping all over the sky is that some
payware aircraft "flood"

There is a list somewhere which lists all popular payware, and if
they are prone to flood MP sessions.

I have found if you abide by the rules everything runs as smooth as silk , even the high end models such as A2A B-17s or the company's fighter series work perfectly .
