I've been doing some flying with the folks over on the digitalthemepark teamspeak server. We're using an FS Multiplayer server which digitalthemepark is hosting. For those that aren't familiar with it, it's accessed via the old gamespy interfaces although we don't connect to gamespy, we do a direct connection to a couple of servers which they host.

 

The problem is that I can't use FS2Crew when connected to the server. I get an SDK initialization error. Just wondering if anyone has gotten it to work with the FS Multiplayer servers or if there is a problem with my install. FS2Crew works fine in free-flight and via VATSIM but whenever I connect to FS Multiplayer it gives me that error.

 

One last note, when I connect to the server it automatically pauses my sim - could the pause have anything to do with it?

 

Thanks for any help you can shed on this.

Pausing: Not sure. Try it on a different server. I never use FS Multiplayer.

 

SDK error: Are you re-loading the plane after it loads?

It seems all the FS multiplayer servers pause it when you first connect to the server. There's no client side option to control that but I'll check with DTP to see if there is a server side option.

 

As for reloading the aircraft, I'm not doing that. Loading FSX from icon, selecting multiplayer and connecting to their server. I even forced my config to load 2D panels which I haven't had to do when connecting to VATSIM, etc just to see if there is any difference but it didn't seem to make any difference.

Hey Jason,

Try to enter the game start FS2Crew get the sdk error then go one step back to the server-lobby (do not leave the server completely) and go back in, the second time the error should be gone and you should be able to use it without problems.

In Multiplayer, can you "re-load" the plane without exiting the session?

 

Try that as well.

 

I'm finding that some users who get the SDK error on the initial load can get the SDK to load properly be "re-loading" the aircraft.

I'll try these suggestions and report back what I find. Thanks.

Hey Daniel,

 

I just tried your method as you described and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much for sharing that - I would have never though of trying that.

 

I have not done a full flight yet to confirm I don't get any errors or odd behavior while flying but I'll be doing a test flight soon.

 

Thanks again.
