Bruce - that's an excellent point about changing settings. Dave - for getting things set up and learning about multiplayer stuff, Teamspeak, and the like, that is very valuable. When you join a multiplayer session in FSX:SE or P3D you get kind of locked down while in that session and to tweak weather, pick a different plane, or even change time of day, you have to back out, fix, and rejoin. If you are hosting the session you have to end it to make changes and everyone has to rejoin once you set things back up. FSHost is great for getting sorted. FSX:SE isn't hard to use in multiplayer but there is a bit to get used to and FSHost can take out the pain of learning while you do. It's just like why Teamspeak is so handy. If you do voice in the multiplayer session you lose the ability to talk or listen to others when you aren't in session. But get Teamspeak working and comms are separate and unbroken.
