it seems its about 15-20 min. I get disconected with gamespyare there any patches,addons etc that will help?thanks

I was initially a bit apprehensive about trying multiplayer because I thought it may have been like VATSIM which I believe is a very formal organisation. But when I did give it a go I found that it was very relaxed, and that really you could make anything you like out of the sandbox which its designers intended it to be.But after some experience with it I feel that it needs just a little more structure than it presently has. So far it seems that with so few controllers virtual pilots are limited to flying the pattern around the controller's airport, which is a bit lame in the long run. What it really needs is for say three or four controllers to agree to meet in a multipl…

A developer at WWW.FSNORTHWEST.NET is up to something very interesting! Today I crewed an EH-101 while my pilot flew me three individuals to rescue, and I called him in on the hoist and brought all three into the same helicopter, visible on both of our screens. It's cool. Here is a link with pictures. There is also a lot of work being done with liftable loads, all staged out of the Northwest. Current R&D is being done at the improved Timberline Lodge available at FSNORTHWEST. Take a look, I have been waiting for this for a long time. Things are starting to get interesting, flying advanced helicopters with crews the way they were meant to be flown! http://fsnorth…

Hi all,I've developed a few enhancements for FSX which are based around improving your experience in multiplay. Please feel free to spread the word. The fixes include.Squawk code replication to ATCSquawk Ident functionallity, downloads for most planes available. Also easy to customise your own favourite.Boeing 737 fix to report altimeter as millibars.(cos that's what the world uses Microsoft lol!)ATC radar fix to show QNH & QFE. (As above Microsoft)ATC radar will highlight on screen someone squawking ident using above. (A very large multi-player organisation told me this wasn't possible lol)and finally, I doubled the amount of planes you can view in the ATC session wi…

Hi.I have been away from FSX multiplayer for..uhmm... over 1.5 years and wanted to give it another try. I have tried reregistering on gamespy but does not seem to work, either from ingame or via the gamespyid.com website. Says that this accound does not work/exists or something, even when i just got the email adress validated :(Anyone got any idea how to get online again?I saw that FS-MP posting above, but i want to fly on a somewhat less dead serious server where "almost everyone" can be ATC as long as they do the job right, while other players do not screw up the experience for others. And i do not want to host it all myself...again.

Hello all,I am a new member and I need your help. I have got two problems The first one is, when I am flying under Vatsim network with PMDG 747 & MD11 (FSX) each time I am reaching my flight level, I lose speed and altitude even if auto pilot VNAV and LNAV are engaged. I do not understand why. Do you have an explanation to solve this problem ? The second matter is when I am outside the airplane, every 5 seconds I have got scenery flashes. Is there a solution ? Do I need to decrease the scenery program ?Thank you all for your assistance

If you have had enough of the FSX connection problems on Gamespy, and are looking for somewhere "decent" to fly ... check out http://www.fs-mp.com

When we try to do close formation flying in multiplayer mode the crash detection area around the aircraft is too large and the aircraft keep crashing. Is there a way to shrink the crash detection area around the aircraft so close formation flying can be accomplished successfully? Any help would be greatly appreciated by our group at www.simflite.com. We are avid multiplayer

What are the steps I can take to get rid of that -1 connection once and for all???Windows Firewall is set to allow FSX. But should I fet rid of it and just trust my router firewall?I have a Westell 6100F modem in bridge mode, going to a Dlink DGL-4500 router. My connection speed as just tested at "What is my IP.com" is 797 KBS down and 117 up. (This exceeds my provider limits of 768 and 110).My Dlink firewall settings are: SPI enabledUDP and TCP both just address restictedUPNP enabled.I am not sure how to forward ports, if that is necessary.Anybody???:-beerchug(__/).................................(='.'=) This is Bunny.

I need help!!!I created a gamespy accountn but when I try to log on to the Internet (Gamespy) it says "The Network was unable to connect"...... What must i put in for the Network Settings??? Please I need help!!!

1) Is it possible to not connect to the Gamespy chat server? it seems to always crash eventually and people thinks the host crashed and they bail.2) The taxi-way lights and many lights in general are almost impossible to see...even from the tower. Is there away to tweak the lights to be seen easier? Even if its only client-side, I'd at least be able to provide progressive taxi better. 3) What is the cause of the long lag when some people log out?4) Is there awat to get the landging gear and logo lights on the tail to show up on aircraft? Much of my ATC time is during the night time hours, I'd like to be better able to visually ID aircraft livery/company from across th…

Hey all -Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I have a problem. I installed McAfee Security and now I'm having problem loading real wheather and staying connected to multiplayer. I looked in the FSX knowledge forum and tried to suggestion (maybe not correctly) with no luck. If I disable my firewall it works. Is this safe? If anyone had this problem and was able to fix it I would really appreciate it.Dawhole9

Hi all,I've had the Realair Spitfire for a bit now but can't seem to use it online. Whenever I want to fly with the spitfire on our server I get disconnected after a little while with the message that the host cancelled session yadda yadda. The admin assures me it's not a kick and we've been checking everything connectionwise that we an think of.We excluded the server and the connection quality as problems as I'm only having the problem flying the spitfire and none of my other planes.Does anyone know if there is a known issue with the spitfire and multiplayer?To sum up:I fly on a dedicated server as part of a flying club.Noone else has any issues with the server.Connectio…

I am very close to opening a web page and renting out a super racing server for FSX.Please let me know if there would be interest or not.Thanks

Hi all,For those of you who do ATC in multiplayer Gamespy sessions I've made a slight change to the tower so altitudes can be displayed in millibars. Please download from here.http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=122727As I understand it most of the world uses millibars, someone forgot to tell Microsoft!You can still flick back to inches of mecury if a pilot requests it.

Is it just me, or is this suckitude? Lots of lockups.

HelloI'm using FSX on Windows Vista Home Basic 64bit. I would like to try my hand at online flying. What do I need and where do I go?RegardsErnest

I don't play multiplayer often, though I fly pretty well on FSX. One problem I ran into last night is I could not get the voice to work with my aircraft radio. I tuned my com1 radio to 118.45 like the atc requested me to do, held down caps lock, and spoke. But I could not be heard. Am I doing something wrong?Thank you in advance,...Andy..PS: Apologies to whichever atc kept kicking me last night because I couldn't tune my radios!

i didn't know where else to post for help on multiplayer issues. i've checked on google, but it doesn't look like anyone else has this problem...about 7 months ago, i tried going on fsx multiplayer. it worked good. for about a night. next day i try to run it, and it dies. something with reinstalling. so i ended up wiping the whole computer to try and get fsx back. i got it back, but now i'm extremely paranoid of going back on multiplayer. multiplayer is VERY fun, because compared to just free flight, or missions, you're not flying alone... any help?if you guys need my specs, they'reHP Pavilion Slimline s7613w140GB Hard Drive2GB RAMNvidia GeForce 6150LEWindows XP Media Cen…

This is a problem that I would really appreciate an answer to as it is starting to get on my nerves!:-mad. It started about two months ago. I am currently a member of a virtual aviation club in fsx multiplayer, and I would like to become an atco for them. Say I have just joined a session and got my clearence, I would loose connection to gamespy suddenly with a message saying "you have been disconnected from gamespy, would you like to continue flying as a single player?":-hmmm. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi All,I finally have FSX and SP1/2 set up and running on th new PC ( as a :-newbie again). I go to log into MP and I get the message: "You have been disconnected. You may have logged on from another computer." This is new for me and I didn't find this situation anywhere else in this forum or on Gamespy forum sites. Again, any help would be appreciated.PS- Mcaffee Firewall is configured for FSX, no settings for Gamespy though...Thanks, John
