A thread for those who will be alone on Christmas...

Back when CFS 1 was the hot sim and we were still known as Combat Flight Center, we used to hold special online IP matches on Holidays. We had the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Shoot and on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day would have all kinds of furballs going on usually including a well armed Santa's Sleigh.

For FS8, FS9 and FSX we now use MoparMike's FSHost server. Use mape.gotdns.org in the IP adress on the multiplayer page in FS. If I get a chance, I'll join yall.

That's goin' back in the day....:guinness:
 
How about those who WANT to be alone on Christmas? Doing the family thing can be grating after awhile....
 
Hmm, well, hmmm. I live alone and like it. No one to tell me what to do, no hunnydo lists. If I wanna eat dessert first no one's gonna say different. Christmas day I'm gonna turn on the machineroonie and play EverQuest2 from O'dark hundred to nightfall. :mixedsmi:

Yes, there are many compensations on the other side of the coin. Y'all are welcome to that side if you like.
 
I just happen to know a server that you can fly on if that is what you want to do on Christmas. I have a daughter just getting home from her tour in Iraq and another daughter whose husband is in Iraq and a son in the corps all flying in for for Christmas so my time will be booked up solid for a while.
Send me a PM and I will get you the information you need. There is also a Teamspeak server you can us if you want to bs back and forth.
Let me know. :icon_lol:
 
Guys we should really pull together and get a SOH FS Host server going.

Dangerousdave might even be able to make one for SOH if we ask kindly, who knows?

It would be a lot of fun if people used it and teamspeak. It would be great to get to know everyone a little better and fly together. The good part about FS host is that FS 8,9, and 10 are all supported. :ernae:

I'm still amazed that such a tightly knit online community doesn't enjoy the hobby together :isadizzy:

It is a lot of fun. I don't do much of it as in years past. I wish that Teamspeak 3 would get released. The current version is ok, but I always have trouble getting my microphone to work.

It has been almost a year since I have flown Multi Player.... Some kids fly to close to my wings and fly past me.... :isadizzy:

It was a lot of fun.... I normally get lost out sea, or crash into a mountain, when a mountain just pop up in front of me... Silly mountain! :icon_lol:

Hey now! I do appreciate all the work you did to help me try and fix that! Incidentally, I gave up trying to get all the drives to work on boot up. Actually, right now, the only drive I am using is my VISTA 64 bit drive.

Anyway, multiplayer flying is a blast! I haven't done it in a very long time. I spend more time downloading and tweaking my FSX install than I do any flying, period. The latest thing I am trying to find a fix for, is why the USS Nimitz will not show up, using one of the "canned" flights. Aircraft shows up, midair. But no ship.
