There are a number of us who were early beta testers who set up and sorted out some of the multiplayer stuff. We are opening the Teamspeak server up to get more multiplayer flyers but any time you open resources to bigger populations, you can get surprised. Please don't repost the TS info anywhere else. It's only for FlyInside use.
The server name is FIFSXBeta and the address is ts01-co.aspnix.com. It's also aliased to fifsxbeta.ts.aspnix.com. Password is FlyInside (note the F and I are capital letters). Hate to say this but anyone who abuses it will be banned.
It's counterintuitive but lock your FSX frame rate in the graphics settings page to 30 fps and use the FlyInside main page to verify you can hold that OK. The difference in visuals is worth any tradeoffs to get to 30 fps if you are lower than 30. If you are running solid above 30 when not locked, it's an opportunity to turn up the eye candy but you want to be solid above so the lock can hold at 30.
Depending on your skills, you may want to turn off collision detection so any otherwise fatal flubs in real life don't cause you to "die" in VR too.
Anyone wanting to host sessions on the FSX:SE or P3D servers will need to open some ports in your firewall and set up port forwarding. This isn't necessary if you are just going to join other hosted sessions. (Lots of information online on how to do port forwarding and which ports you need forwarded) We have been running with passwords on sessions to keep gate crashers out. Simple stuff like pass or oculus. What we've also been doing are taking the group up to sight see around the places we live or the places we know. It really adds a lot when someone knows an area.
Bruce/Mort is running a server that allows those running different versions of FSX to fly as well but I'll leave it for him to decide if he wants to open it up.
We run some non-stock planes and what you may find us running:
The free Mossie: http://www.cbfsim.co.uk/cbfs_lib/thumbn ... p?album=48
Ant has some more free airplanes at http://www.antsairplanes.com From that stable we have been flying the Tiger Moth and T-28A. Some of us have gone ahead and bought the B/C version.
Some are flying P-38s from Flight Sim Developers: http://www.fsd-international.com/Hangar/P38/
Anyone else have fun planes, please let us know! And if anyone has video recording working again after 0.7.0 I would really be interested in hearing about this.
I'm sure I've left stuff out and anyone feel free to add to this thread. One thing is let's try to keep this thread as just informational so it stays concise and useful.
Hope to see you in the skies! If you haven't flown multiplayer with no judders, it is an amazing treat!
A little something to set the mood...
