FSX Multiplayer

[fliger747]

Due to various computer issues, have had to re-install. Anyone remember where to get the addon that allows one to multiplay with FSX.

Thx: T.

I've tried a few times to fly with a friend using this software over the last couple of weeks, but each time after say 30 seconds he would be disconnected from either a web based server or from one I ran from my PC. Anyone know what might be causing this?

NB: Both using FSX on the latest version of FSHost

FSHost makes use of peer to peer data flow and if all of the ports required , in and out are not allowed through the firewall / Router this is the result.

Getting this set up can be as easy as defining fsx as trusted within Norton and windows , in other cases some routers need to have ports set individually and present serious fun for the normal user to get done , and there are so many brands of router on the market that instructions vary .
