ANNOUNCE: SBRelay - enables FS2004 with SquawkBox 2

[Guest russell]

SBRelay is a new program to enable FS2004 with SquawkBox 2 (SB) and the various networks it supports (VATSIM, IVAO, etc.). It does this by creating an FS2002 session and an FS2004 session internally, and then translating and forwarding all SB players from the FS2002 session to the FS2004 session. By connecting both SB and FS2004 to SBRelay, you can fly in FS2004 and be connected to the network, just as you did with FS2002. SBRelay is a multi-threaded C++ Windows application built for high performance, and uses very little CPU or system resources.Download from the SBRelay web site:http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/sbrelayEnjoy!Russell

IVAO also released an IVAO-specific tool for doing this that you could use with VATSIM. Is this new tool better? (increased performance etc)

"IVAO also released an IVAO-specific tool"Doesn't it say all?Jos

[Guest Panman]

Contrary to popular belief it is not IVAO specific.I used it on VATSIM when it first came out, no problem at all.

I have read on another forum that SBRelay does not work with HyperThreading on the P4 3.0GHz chips? They said when HT was disabled, it worked? Very wierd. Anyone else experience this?

[Guest russell]

Hi,I had one user report a similar problem to me, but he said that it was actually Squawkbox that caused a BSOD when Hyper Threading was enabled, not SBRelay. Guess it doesn't make much difference though, since both are required. Except for the fact that if it were in SBRelay, I could probably do something about it and release a new version. But I believe we're stuck with SB 2.3b5 until SB 3 comes out.Russell GilbertFSChatScroll, FSHost, FSHostSpy, SBRelay:http://www.chocolatesoftware.com
