Shared Cockpits | Multi-Player Forum for FSX | FSX-SE | P3D

Has anyone had any problems while doing shared cockpit as far as flight being VERY erratic during turns? it is almost like we have a severe flight control conflict of some kind because in perfectly smooth air, the plane will buck around wildly in turns, but it flights straight or in gentle turns just fine. Any ideas?

My multiplayer works fine when flying with friends. I usually host.However, when I exit the plane to change something (like a new plane), it disconnects me from GameSpy and my server is lost.Isn't it supposed to keep the server active, so changes can be made without everybody getting dropped?Or, does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?Thanks.

I really hate the GameSpy setup, because I dont know whats going on but I cant log in because I instantly get kicked off, saying I logged in on another computer. Anyone know anything about this?

The title says it all- I specify parking spaces but I always spawn on the active. Any ideas?Thanx in advance, Donny :-waveFLYing? It's cool. Trillions of birds and insects can't be wrong.

Hi all, I lose my traffic about 72 miles out, is this normal, if so can it be changed?.Thanks.

Hi Tim. I guess you're the person to ask about this? I was wondering if ACES had considered any kind of aircraft substitution aliasing system for FSX multiplayer?The reason I ask is that with the complexity of addon aircraft constantly rising, it would be really nice to have the ability to directly control substitutions of aircraft in the game. For example, some method of forcing someone who brings in an ultra high poly F-18 etc, to appear as a low poly version or another aircraft completely on the screens of other players. Would it be hard to have FSX record each aircraft variant that has appeared in a session in some sort of text file, where you could then declare an al…

I setup two computers one as host one as client co-pilot on a lan. The host is the pilot. The copilots weather changes seemingly randomly from the weather in the co-pilots (client) settings to the ones I set on the Pilots (host). Bug?I noticed that I can set failures from the client or host but I can not change the weather on either once the session has started :-(I would like to set it up so that an instructor could sit in the co-pilots seat and make failures and weather changes happen on the fly.BTW any one seen an instructor module for FSX?Thanks,Sean

I've recently been trying FSX multiplayer in Vista with a new USB headset w/mic and discovered a problem. In XP you could go to the audio properties dialog and use the voice tab to direct voice communications (only) through the headset instead of the sound card. In other words all voice communications are done through the headset and other sounds are played through the sound card and speakers. In Vista the audio properties/playback devices dialog does not contain a voice tab to direct voice comm to the headset. After some research it's my understanding that the new Vista audio stack requires the application (FSX) to control which audio devices sounds are output. It sounds…

I am very interested in learning to fly choppers, would love to share a cockpit with an experienced pilot with a mike. I am in the Eastern time zone, GMT -5. I can fly from 20:00 till 0400 GMT; that is 3 pm till 11:00 PM Eastern time. You can respond here or PM me with the start time you will be on.Please let me know when you will be able to get together. My username on Gamespy is Shalomar and I will fly in the Helicopter ops or Flight Training lobby- NOT free flight. Email is dtraill at Hotmail dot com. (You can figure it out, not the bots)Thanx in advance :-beerchugFLYing? It's cool. Trillions of birds and insects can't be wrong.

Hi, Looking at multiplayer options for fsx. I have noticed that htere is VATSIM or IVAO, are these used together or just one of them used. if just one does anyone have any preferences. Also does anyone have any news on the latest version of squawkbox. ThanksMarc

I am able to connect to Gamespy, although like some, I get booted for some reason.I am able to connect to a friends computer for LAN connection session that he is hosting.However, after setting all of my ports correctly on my router I am unable to host a session myself... at least one that can be connected to by my friend.We have done a bunch of experimenting, opening this, closing that, but still the same. Last night, we even put my router on as DMZ and he still could not connect.I am thinking there must be something simple, but am at my wits end trying to figure it out.Any ideas on what I could be missing or not doing correctly?dutton

:( I don't understand what's happening, but everytime I try to host or I'm a client in a multiplayer session, at a certain point of the game, my pc reboots!!!! It happens everytime and only with FSX multiplayer mode. I use low settings in multiplayer and I have always many good frames per sec.I don't know where to look in.... do you have any advice?ThanksManta

I try to log on to gamespy to fly and I get wrong user name. I set a new account and I get the same wrong username. I ask to have them sent me the info to log on and I use that and I get wrong user name. Anyone else have problems like that.Dave

Hello all - I have been searching for solutions (hopefully easy ones for a non-tech head like me) to hosting speed issues in FSX multiplay (thru Gamespy). I like to host sessions however I am always showing red lights in the connect. speed display, hence I don't get much traffic. I have a 3 mth old PC (specs below) with a 1500 kbps ADSL connection thru a D-link (DSL-502T) router. I've seen posts on firewall configs, ports to enable etc. I have tried to follow some of these suggestions without success (or maybe I'm doing it wrong). Its all very confusing/frustrating. Is there a simple solution that somebody has to test whether adjustments can be, or if my BB speed is just …

I've been experimenting with multiplayer and found some issues.It's fine using it for flying with a friend in the shared cockpit so long as the is nobody else in the game/ session as mentioned in my other post. That issue stated;When using a session with more than about 3 or 4 people the ATC and voice communications get very broken. There seems little or no guidence of how to set a good clean session up.For example what options do we set to get better voice packets and how do we connect to get better packets?So far, pretty much eveyone using multiplayer is using the main lobby for free flight. It is chaos trying to find and join a session as people are entering and leavin…

Just a heads up,I suspect this is a known issue by ACES.When using the shared cockpit ant voice communications to your co-pilot is constantly broadcasted to the tower and possibly other players also. This is not normal or realistic so it looks like sharing a cockpit in multiplayer is not working right in terms of ATC and tower.Peter

I'm not sure if this kind of post is okay for this forum.I'm looking for serious simmers who like to test features out and get a good understanding of how things work. I doing things in the most realistic manner.I'm been having some issues with multiplayer and would like some guys/girls to fly with me to test things out. For example, how to get good fps and good atc without broken or dropped packets.PM me or contact me on skype or msn skype name is peter_wilding msn name is [email protected]
