Thats excellent. Hopefully he will have more success than I've been able to.

http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshost/ <--- hopfully all the information needed. I think Hydra will need a copy for fsx, or at least the sdk as it requires sim connect. (90%) sure

thanks v4moose, was just reading about that on fshost forum; the readme that comes with fshost doesn't mention it.
If Hydra doesn't have the sdk then I should be able to organise a copy for him, this may take a day or 2 but does look promising.

and Mearehear pat yourself on the back, it's the community that makes these things happen admins are just the facilitators.

cheers

im not sure if that was the guide you were referring to. But there's good information in there if not.

In any case at the moment I can't find any reference too it either. I'll keep digging, definately remember reading it somewhere.

EDIT: easiest way to test my theory - i just chucked the FSHost server on my lappy. Seemed to boot fine

[brimlad]

that's interesting, I tried to install fshost at work earlier today and I got an error message which I searched and came upon this thread at fshost which explains that the sdk is required for fshost to run.

I've passed on that info to Hydra so hopefully we'll be able to get this going in the next few days.

LOL thats the exact thread i was looking for

my laptop used to have fsx on it, maybe there were enough files left over...

Hello,

Can someone with FSX give this a go:

fsx-1.games.on.net:23456

This is just a bog-standard fshost install with only fs2004/fsx enabled.

[cyclobs]

i'll try over remote desktop but don't get too excited

edit: Connected up easily. looks good

[brimlad]

yes I just did the same cyclobs must have just missed each other.
and it does seem to be working, recognised the plane I was in and the chat function was working; looking forward to a few flights tonight.

many thanks Hydra, awesome work.

cheers

[v4moose]

just connected up. looking good - thanks Hydra.


its appearing on host spy also - and connecting is not taking down my whole home network like some other servers

Hydra would you like me to PM you with some preferred settings?

[Mearehear]

Just connected, think all was fine for me (new to FSClient, so not totally sure what I was doing haha) Thanks Hydra

[cyclobs]

on server now if you guys feel like jumping on and having a chat! see me crash horribly into Sydney airport

[Scarface.au]

ill be getting on soon

[Hydra]

Anyone having problems connecting?

Mine says "Error connecting to host. Unable to connect to one of the players"
