FSX Multiplayer Problem

[AtlanticAviator 1]

Hello Everyone,I have been having problems with Flight Simulator X, Whenever I want to join a session I just get the message "Loading Players Aircraft List..." until it eventually says "The network connection has been lost"It seems to be a problem specifically with this router, As my other router will get into FSX sessions fine but I have checked that my ports are open for FSX (6073 and 23456 UDP) with PFP Port Checker and also I changed my IP to a static IP address instead of Dynamic.Any Help Is AppreciatedKriss

Just a guess but it may be a compatibility issue if you and the host are not using the same version of FSX, do you have SP 1 and 2 or Acceleration installed?

Are you trying to join a session in the default free flight lobby? If so try another lobby, the default can cause a lot of connection problems. It also could be a config issue with the hosts router, not yours.There are other posts here about using dedicated servers you could try to join and see if those work

No I have tried other lobbies but they are giving me the same scenario.

Dont do that! Most users are on SP2 now and a lot of addons wont work without it.One other thing to try, make a new Gamespy account and see if that works

Chris - like Jay says - don't uninstall SP2. Instead - fire up your Teamspeak3 and go to ts3.digitalthemepark.com - and ask Zoo about this. He will suggest trying their own Gamespy server, as it has yet to show any problems at all. This will give you the fastest success, and you will get to meet some great folk, with plenty of activity.

Then it sounds like its a router/ modem setting, Todd (Zoo) at DTP is a great suggestion at this point, he knows his stuff
