Auzy Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Just wondering if you guys have thought about setting up a multiplayer server for people who buy FTX (or just enthusiastic supporters) I've never personally had the opportunity to try it before, but I'd love to fly with other people here. I also noticed it has a ATC function and a pilot function (and I may be wrong, but I think voice chatting too). Nothing beats realistic FSX traffic better then humans (well, other that the fact that when on flight sim, we are probably more likely to commit suicide or play chicken against other pilots on runways then real life). If 15kb/s upload is enough (which I unfortunately doubt it might be), i could set up a server (I'm on optus cable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxter Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Excellent idea, well done... Never been on mp in FSX Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuit Chucker Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 This just keeps getting better! Would be great to fly with everyone from the forums in our new environment! What are the chances John? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auzy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Ok, it seems that while the server included with FSX sucks (you have to be in the game and it cant really be dedicated), that I have found a way to do this well.. But i have started a server on IP 122.107.155.176 You will need fshost client, and need to run FSX in windowed mode unfortunately http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshost/ You will start off my YMMB (Moorabbin/cheltenham). I'm just testing, so if anyone else wants to join, feel free to. (Make sure you read the faq) The official server would be better, but unfortunately I cant keep fsx running all day, also, I need to go airport in 6 hours.

Auzy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Actually, its been offline most of today, cause i was having computer issues, but need to leave soon anyway, so wont restart it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hmm, I like the idea, but not clued up on setting this up. Would be one for Jay or Mozza to tackle. Not sure if we can get this off the ground in time for release, but we'll look into it ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxter Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Brilliant stuff mate, it would be really good for the Orbx community to have one place for MP flights if required. Never had a MP flight in FSX, but always had it in the back of my mind to try. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxter Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yesssssssssssssssss SuperJ... the Oz flight simmers friend... Mate, if you can pull this off Speaking of MP in FSX, is it possible to use non-default and secondly if it is possible to use non-default, does it alias non-default aircraft to default aircraft so we can see another aircraft alongside us? Cheers and thanks for your efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With FSHost it wil show the aircraft, either as a default Cessnna 172 or as the same aircraft you are flying, unless you have the aircraft that the other one is flying with all it's variants, as then it will show up correctly in correspondance with that.

Heiko Glatthorn Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Multi player memories... Two times around the world (northern and southern route), once from Seattle down to Cape Horn and up to New York. Must be more than 70.000 nm - 95% with piston engine or turbo prop. Sometimes up to 18 aircraft in formation. Heck yeah, would be nice to have some friends together again. It's really a blast. Well, FSHost is quiet choppy, but Gamespy worked most of the time very well. Heiko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 FSInn is another option but seems that a number of people have trouble installing that, never tryed GameSpy as the name alone allready gives me the shivers ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgruschow Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Not sure what you are asking for. FSX works perfectly in co-pilot/FSInn. I can't see a need for any more servers. If you need a hand setting up, just come on Teamspeak and someone will sort it out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kae Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Still Jack, there is a lot of people that will never be able to use GameSpy and that is not my opinion, that is a fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auzy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 The big issue I found was that you cant leave the game with the official FSX server. So unless you have a spare computer sitting around to run FSX 24/7, you probably want to use a seperate server. This is the best option though really I also noticed while testing yesterday you dont have as much control over the official server, but slightly more features in it (like Fshost didn't have ATC support, and doesn't support showing the changing rudder, and I dont think supports automatically sending your plane to everyone).

maxter Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well, the server is up and running now... Great stuff and another reason not to have to stray to far from Orbx/FTX.

Auzy Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Great job. (This is going to be truly awesome, nothing better then real people flying in FSX as other planes) This might sound like a dumb question though, but how do we access it? Wouldn't mind tying up 35L or 17L at YMMB with a few circuits this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
