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.

Good thing. But can FS9 and FSX see the same session? I thought FSX online was setup differently?

That is the very reason Im doing research on this option Arjen
If the versions aren't compatible I will need to do some very serious digging

I'm not for sure about the multiplayer session in FS9. Last time I used that option, the online flying was rather choppy...more so than
FSinn. Maybe that has changed. I may try to get online this evening if I can get home in time.

[Tracker801]

Try limiting your FPS to a solid 20
More FPS will lag connection between pilots when using the FSMP option.

Again, this is just a test

[Joeflyer]

Well, it has been a long time ago when I last used the multiplayer session in FS9. Couldn't tell you what my FPS were locked at exactly,
but it sure wasn't anywhere near 50 like I have it now I think it was around 25 FPS way back then.

[Tracker801]

That was FS5.1 girlie

[Joeflyer]

Not 3 years ago

[Tracker801]

Hey, dogyears are based on human life, not the other way around
3*7=21...... so that makes you 102

Uhoh.....

[Tracker801]

Host is already running at EHAM.
Standard port 23456
Session: WorldTour4

[DSW334]

If my memory serves me well, then it wasn't possible. Starting up fs9 now to see if I can connect. Won't be long though.. Need to go at 1900utc

[Joeflyer]

For the last time, Tracky, stay off the hooch before trying to think

[DBE]

And?? How did it go?

[Tracker801]

Not much takers on the bait unfortunately.
Will have to schedule a test again on a later day, maybe some peeps with FS9 and/or FSX can get together then.

Right now Im looking into some other comms progs
