    Hi,I thought I post a few lines about a little tool I made, just in case someone can use it. It's called "HippyHappy Anfragenstopper" (in english this should be something like "HippyHappy friends-requests stopper").The "HippyHappy Anfragenstopper" is solving a FSX Multiplayer problem driving me crazy for ages already:It will deny all incoming friends requests in FSX.Why would you do that?Well, if you run i.ex. a FSX Server or fly long distances, you will have times, where you are not at your PC.If during these times a friends request (=someone would like to add you to his friends list or start a private chat) waiting to be processed, you will be disconnected from GameSpy …

    I fly in MP almost exclusivly, with the same crowd, almost everyday, and we hardly ever have a problem with Gamespy. The one issue some of us do have is connecting to a lobby. Once in a while someone has to constantly keep reconnecting until it lets them past the 'Local Area Network' and into the lobby we use. Most of the ones with the problem are connecting from overseas and usually if they just sit there for a minute or two they are then let in.However once they are in the session, we seldom have any other problems, and I think I now know why, after a new problem popped up yesterday. Two of us were sharing a 737, with me as FO. The other pilot wanted to learn some proce…

    Just wondering why I would have 25 fps sitting at the end of the runway at LAX in Free Flight, and 10 fps in Multiplayer at the same location? Are fps affected by other players Internet connection, or do multiplayer planes use the same amount of "juice" as AI planes in Free Flight... (AI in free flight is set to 0)?If the later is the case, can I turn off multiplayer aircraft, or replace all multiplayer with a very minimal type of aircraft?

    I wanted to put out some information that I think is important regarding FSX Multiplayer.I recently received a copy and installed it on my computer and installed SP1 immediately thereafter.My brother and I are both pilots and are into flying sims during the fall and winter months when real-world flying conditions are less than desirable. We have always been able to use multiplayer in FS2002, FS2004, and Condor.We were trying to connect to each other via the multiplayer settings within FSX but could never connect and have spent the last 2 days testing and troubleshooting everything we could think of: router, dial-up vs. broadband, port forwarding, firewall, AV.

    A friend and myself are having problems hosting &/or joining each others session. We can both join someone elses session and fly together with no problem. Our hosting session connection rating always shows -1 in red. From what I have read, it indicates that we might have an internet, router issue or problem. I have checked my DSL system and it is well within limits, 100.0 Mbps.My question is, what step or steps can we take to improve our connection rating? Also, does wireless router have a neg impact?Thanks much!ervIntel Core 2 X6800(3.22), P5W Deluxe, Coolmax 650W, Corsair DII800 4G, two 74G/WD 10,000 drives, ASUS 1900XT/512 Card, CoolMaster TAC-T01, Creative Sound C…

    I was in the middle of trying to make FSX's multiplayer work for me, when I got disconnected from GameSpy (this happened about 5 minutes ago). Well, nothing new there.However, logging in since then has not seemed to work. I get through to the lobby view and can see my friends list, but none of the lobbies actually show anything. I don't get the lobby user list either. Trying to change a lobby takes forever and freezes FSX, until eventually I time out and get disconnected from GameSpy.I've never seen this behavior before, so I'm guessing it could be a problem with GameSpy's servers (as in, them being down or somesuch). Is anyone else experiencing these problems right now?

    Finally, after several months of silence from MS concerning the inability to direct ATC, only, through a headset w/Vista we have some encouraging news.Quote from beatle:"FSX SP2 should have a fix for this problem - basically we added a couple of combo boxes to the sound settings dialog that allows you to select the primary sound output device and the voice sound output device. This falls under the heading of a Vista-related fix (DX10 and Vista-related fixes being the main focus of SP2)."I all but stopped using multiplayer when I switched to Vista, not long after its release, because of this problem. I'm looking forward to some more "interactive" flying in the future. Bett…

    Hi,perhaps this is a really old matter, but I want to know, if there is any fix for that: In multiplayer, i can kick ppl or add them to friends list. I cannot ban them, this option is in the menu, but greyed out. So, this looks to me as if it is there, but some way not enabled. Is this a known problem and is there a fix? Or a workaround? For bad luck theres not even a way to catch the IP or something else, otherwise I could code some workaround.I have SP1 installed, just in case someone suggesting it might be that.Greetings,Chris.

    I've been seeing this more and more on FSX servers - people have shared their aircraft, they do not yet have anyone in the cockpit with them, but the "Join Aircraft" button is greyed out?It doesn't seem to matter if they are already in-game or still in the briefing room. It also can not be related to password protection, since the password is asked after clicking on the button (which is not possible since it's greyed out).Does anyone have a clue why this is?
