I have a good friend that lives out of state and we would like to fly on-line.

 

We tried to connect today, but were not successful.

 

Does anyone know if version 10.11 works in a multiplayer environment?

I've never been able to get it to work with my friend as well. Maybe we weren't entering in the correct IP Address, I don't know which one to use but we tried all combinations. Possibly someone else could shed some light on this.

we would like to fly on-line

 

It's possible to fly on-line with X-Plane on ATC networks like IVAO, PilotEdge or VATSIM. Just search for X-IvAp or XSquawkBox.

 

Happy flying.

It is. At least I do confirm that it was possible flying in IVAO. But not quite sure how all those plugins will handle the new 64bit X-Plane..

Works like a charm

Hi All,

 

What I have in mind is linking my friends Mac to my windows 7 PC.

 

We were successful with X-Plane 9, and now we want to do the same with X-Plane 10.

 

So we didn't need these other on-line services like IVAO, etc.

 

I will try later after Thanksgiving, but I hope the developers, as one of their objectives, makes multiplayer much more robust than X-Plane 9

You find the answer in the menu of xp 10, you just need to on the same subdomain on your local lan

I realize this is old, but you can use native multiplayer over the internet, too, you just have to make sure you can make a direct P2P connection between the two boxes. This usually involves port forwarding and firewall holes which is typically beyond the level of comfort for most people.

 

You can spend a few hours trying to get that working, or, as others have suggested, you're probably better off with a client/server multiplayer model using the networks that have been suggested.

 

Another suggestion would be to check out SmartCoPilot, a shared cockpit plugin for X-Plane. If you want to fly with a buddy, this is by far the most enjoyable way to do it. It allows you to fly a single airplane together. Here are some links to some videos of shared cockpit flights: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pilotedge+shared+cockpit

Keith...I have flown in years passed with friends on mulitplayer over the internet...don't recall how we did it but it was all provided for in the menus at that time and worked fine. You didn't need to be on the same LAN either. I'm assuming it should still work this way, yes?

 

If so...would you happen to know all the ports that the host needs to have open on their router?

 

Thanks!
