This leg turned out to be my Best Flight Ever. A bit of fog that made me nervous, but it cleared up when I was 3 miles out. Touched down at -41.5
ft/m. Luckly, it was a nice long runway as I ended up floating about halfway down it.
I did try to connect while I was home for lunch, to no effect. I seem to be missing a step somewhere. I have basically a day to fix it (and to find
a plane for saturdays leg).
Here are the instructions I'm working from. This is from the tour site.
FSinn setup and server connect instructions
1 ) Download FSInn v1.1 from http://www.mcdu.com/
The version I ended up with is 1.6
2 ) Install FSInn and CoPilot (Comes with FSInn)
3 ) Start FS and Park at a gate (NEVER EVER EVER EVER START ON A RUNWAY!!!!)
4 ) Goto the "CoPilot" Menu and choose "Inn Control Panel". The program will now generate an aircraft database,
this may take a little while depending
on the aircraft you have installed! It will then connect you to a multiplayer session.
Done, done and done. However, on the little "christmas tree" in the system tray I have a red light that says "you are not connected to FWInn multiplayer"
5 ) Once connected, click the "SET" button in the bottom right hand corner of the Inn Control Panel.
6 ) In the new windows, click the + sign next to "General", and then click "General"
7 ) Enter in your callsign and pilot details! Anything you dont know leave as the default setting.
8 ) Close the Options window by click on the small blue X in the bottom right.
9 ) Click the button labelled "FSFDT" in the Inn Control Panel.
I do not see a button labelled FSFDT
10 ) You are now online and connected! Please continue to look through the FSInn settings to optimise them to your system - especially the "Peer to
Peer" connections section!
I know I'm missing something, and knowing me, it's going to be something easy....
