FSX multiplayer?

Well, Gamespy is no more so that is a problem to begin with. Most use FSHost Client to connect in Multiplayer, but there is also an alternative to Gamespy that supposedly is better called "FSOpen"

Well, you have the options here as your answers:
Direct Connect (Connecting directly to another computer serving as the host via their ISP)
FSHost Client (standalone program to connect multiple players to a single server)
FSOpen

Your choice!
 
FSOpen is not a multiplayer connection host. It is an advertising system for FSX Multiplayer sessions.

With FSOpen running and FSX running in multiplayer FSOpen publishes the session on FSOpens website. It also has a few other neat controlls but it does not host the session FSX does that.

FSHost client is an actual server application to connect FS2002, FS2004 and FSX. The downside is it uses the SimConnect.dll for FSX to connect to the FSHost client software. The SimConnect.dll is a bottle neck which is why you get the stutters at close range.
 
VATSIM or IVAO are the two "live ATC" online services.
I personally use FSHost the majority of the time. All you have to do is plug in a server's IP and your user name of choice, and you're good to go!
