I think the best alternative to GameSpy's multiplayer service is connecting directly via IP.

 

We still keep our server open 24/7, so if anyone is itching for some multiplayer flying, feel free to join our server!

 

Here's how:

1. When you click the multiplayer tab in FSX, click "Local Network (LAN)" button instead of the GameSpy option

2. Enter your name then click "Connect Directly" then enter our IP address of 67.170.81.45 then click "Find Sessions"

 

Also join our TeamSpeak3 server for voice communications or if you have any questions:

Teamspeak3 client download: http://www.teamspeak...?page=downloads

Server Address: ks.jmainguy.com

(once you load TeamSpeak3, in the top left panel click "Connections" then "Connect" and enter "ks.jmainguy.com" into the Server Address field, enter a Nickname. There is no password.

 

We host regular group flights, check out http://msflights.net to keep an eye on them, were hosting one tonight at 9pm.

BVATC also put up a website that lists several alternatives to gamespy: http://http://www.fsxbeyondgamespy.com
