As we will be trying to get rid of FSInn as server for the WT flights I'm researching the standard build-in FS Multiplayer option.
Coming Friday, Feb 6th, from 2000 GMT+1 to about 2300 GMT+1 I will host a session called WorldTour4.

For the duration of the test I would like to invite as many pilots to get online.
I will be based at EHAM so you are free to fly to, from or do circuits around at all times. Maybe this might be a nice feature for people who
have
never flown online to hone their skills as well and get acquinted with online flight.

FS limits clients to 16 though so if there are many online you may not be able to get in to the server.

This is a test only, there are many more programs and other things I need to test. This, if proven worthwile, this might be an easy way for
both FS9 and
FSX users to fly WT4 online.

i wouldn't reccomend using the FSX multilayer

i used to fly on it everyday and the amount of times you get kicked off gets very very very very annoying as you have to start all over again

YAY!!!!! Trackers gonna get us FSX bums online finally. I wish you the best of luck in finding a online program. Keep me posted

Tried to get online. But wasn't seeing any hosts. So probably something wrong with my pc.. Need to figure that one out for a later test.

The main problem with SB is that we will have to fly on IVAO or VATSIM.
As the main goal of the FSP WorldTour will always be to enable everyone to fly online without any knowledge of ATC and procedures/protocols I actually
doubt it is usable. But will check the options of SB4.
Maybe it now holds an option to set a dedicated server like FSInn.

Maybe test SB first for stability. The last I remember was that I deinstalled SB on my PC because it was instable or not working together
with another AddOn. Can be the other AddOn was FSInn.. then it would be ok.... but can also be it was AS or anything else

Well I think all you need is the server programm and a server to get an own independent private NET running. I am not sure anymore if
with the old Pro Controll it was possible to host a whole own net or if you need more to do that.

[Tracker801]

I know SB3 had trouble with FSInn so checking SB4 as we speak.
PC had the ability to set up an own network, not sure about SB4 though.
But if SB4 works and able to create a private network it may be worthwile to switch to that for WT4. At least it is much more supported than 'that
french crap'

[HB-100]

just thought about it ..
In FSInn is a whole list of NET's you can choose I am sure you can connect to with SB also..
Why not choose one of them .. I am sure there is one that has FUN and Freedom as priority ..then we dont need to bother about
ainstalling a private net.

[Tracker801]

Already ahead of you on that
But appreciate the thought HB

As IVAO is still basically the same relaxed surrounding as it was since Ive last flown there, and now renewed, I can recommend all pilots to use SB4
and apply for an IVAO membership.
Using SB4 and the IVAO network will provide us all with a network to fly WT4 online as well as some simple ATC guidance where available.

This is much more simplified than VATSIM where knowledge of aircraft and procedures are priority. IVAO just provides a place to fly together.

Until I find some other prog and/or network this will remain the fav for online flights as it is much like FSInn but with a lot more support and
challenges. For those of you who have never flown online, us old-timers will always be there to support you on your first steps so feel free to ask on
forums or online.

[Tracker801]

For those who have never flown online on IVAO and SB4, feel free to PM me or post a mesage here and I will do my best to schedule in a flight for you
to get you through the basics
It is just like standard FS ATC but with people behind the buttons

I got squawk box, really easy to use. FSINN is a pain in the butt to learn how to use it. I would rather use Squawkbox.

You just want us to come to Atlanta and test your ATC skills Alonso
Trust me, you aint ready for the boozecrew so have a senior ATC standing by
