Great news

I’ll be on 24/7 possible. Keep your eyes out for a WestJet 737-700 flying around Canada.

I hate to see this server to be a waste for no one to come in. That’s why it’s there for us to use it.

Hi what are you trying to login to?

To connect to the server just open up your flight sim and go to the multiplayer section and type in the ipaddress of the server and connect, no passwords are required.

If you want to display the server ipaddress connection details on your website then just add the server status as an i frame to any page you want it displayed.

Hope that helps.

HI, give it a try now should be ok, windows done an automatic update on the server last night and kindly stopped some network services but forgot to restart them.

Sorry, but I have no luck, it would not work for me.

Is this through the way of ‘Internet(Gamespy)’ or ‘Local network (LAN)’ and what are the further steps.

Is it possible to explain it step by step with possibly any pictures, a kind of tutorial.

It would probably help many of us to find the way to this great opportunity.

Thanks in advance

HI you connect via LAN, all you need to do is type in the ipaddress of the server and make sure you are using the default ports 23456, also make sure that your routers ports are open to these ports.

In fs9 go to multiplater then open multiplayer session, check the ipaddress at http://vacentral.net and type that in to the ipaddress box, hit search then join when the server appears in the box.

If you cant find the server then check your ports.

If you are using fsx you can type the full url name in to the address box ie, fshost.vacentral.net and this will connect, you do need an extra bit of software for fsx if i remember correctly this can be downloaded from here.

Hey, thx for the help with that proggie and advice. Now perfect connection by that extra programm. It is possibly my router or FSX that this blocks. See you soon there on the air, thx.

Hey Guys,

I have been meaning to update this thread for a while now but never got round to it, I am led to believe that the FS Inn server software is far more superior than the FS Host server, so i have also installed an fsd host server like what is used on the Vatsim network.

Its free to use as you wish for you and your VA, I know some of you are quite regular users of the existing one. The connection details are exactly the same as the previous server however because your now using FS Inn client to connect all you need to do is copy the settings below from the attached image which are,

ID = phpvms

Password = 222222

Server= fshost.vacentral.net (No more looking up the IP Address )

To summarise,

Connection settings above and client software required is FS Inn Client and FSCopilot which are free from the link below, works with FS9 and FSX.

http://flightsim.apollo3.com/files/fs-files.html Look for SetupFSInn13.exe and SetupFSCopilot17.exe

Let me know how you guys get on, maybe i can hook it up to my ts server so you can have voice, something to think about.

Mark, I forget, was this the same one advertised on VACentral? Is there anything I need to update for that?
