Gamespy is Kaput

[Python231]

In Gamespy aircraft are substituted if you don't have them, does this apply to fsopen and fshost?

With FSHost, FSX has the option to select a player and change his/her aircraft to anything you have in your inventory. I'm not familiar with FSOpen, so I can't comment.:salute:

So, if someone is flying an aircraft that I dont have, FSX substitutes the aircraft with an aircraft that i have in my hangar?

How many here know that SOH has a flight server?

Correct, you must select that players name on the right side of the chat box, right click it, select "change players aircraft" and it will give you a menu of all your airplanes. You select what you want that player to be flying and the sim changes the aircraft.

We'd probably be amazed at how many don't Willy, lol. .. .and it's not for lack of trying. I can't remember how many times there have been threads dedicated solely to Multiplayer and the SOH Flight servers in particular and yet folks just seem to dismiss it. It's great that Ickie makes it available, but we have to wipe away the cobwebs every time we log in, lol.

I nor Warhawk have not seen any glitches in MP, the beauty of FS Open is that you can configure it to kick someone who:

A] Broadcasts on all channels

B] Tries to use Capt Sim's Weapon for FSX

C] Loads a plane that has too high a frame rate hit.

Miramar Flight Club runs two servers, one public open to all and the second members only. As I said we also run TS3 for our primary comms as the in game radio's are misused by the kiddies but we need the radios to for administrative purposes.

FSHost has the jitters...if not for that, I would love to use it. Hamachi is wonderful...nice smooth frames when flying with people. Hamachi is free to use.

Just spent a couple hours on there flying with a fellow called Viper. For 99% of the flight the graphics were fluid and smooth. No shakeys at all.. When Viper climbed into formation with me however, and got with maybe 8 feet, there was a snall amount of shakeys, but nothing even close to what we have in fshost. I dont know if they could tell i was flying the su-37 by appearance alone, but i knew viper was in an F-22 and silver surfer was in an F-15. On the other hand I've done flight models for the f-22 and the f-15 so i have them both and still dont know if we each have to have a model of the same plane to see what they're flying..

I tried the SOH server shortly after FS Top Gun closed shop a couple of times, even made sure to use my forum name and both times I was ignored on both chat and TS. If that's how a member is treated no wonder it's not used much. I won't be back to that one as I have two related to my club that I feel more at home with. Even if I could remember who was on at those times I would never post anyone's name on a thread like this, not worth the trouble it could cause.

Strikehawk, it's an open server and we get a lot of non-members using it as well. Much to our dismay at some of the foo fighters that show up there. Also if they're using TeamSpeak, they're probably not paying much attention to the chatbox.
