Hi All,I could use a little help if anyone can.I've been trying to set up a multiplayer session with 3 PC's at home using the MSFS multiplayer. I can get all the PC's connected fine through the router and all can see the other aircraft but when we all try to fly together the planes on all the PC's just jump around so one minute we're all close and then scattered around and back again?I've locked all the PC's frame rates the same, (as sugested in the forums here) right down to 10fps but it makes no difference.Should I be using something else instead of the MSFS multiplayer to get smooth flying?Any help would be great.Many ThanksDavid G

Hi,How fast is your network and your network cards?Is your anti-virus doing scans on the data flowing across your network?Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

The default is pretty jumpy, for sure. You'll see a great improvement with FSInn or IBNet, both of which are freeware. However, there are other possible reasons why you may have problems there .... check out Jim's advice, indeed.MarkMark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cathayhk.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/maamlogo2.jpg[/a]

The router and cards are all 10/100 Mbps. I use a linksys BEFDSR41W router. I disconnect the ADSL phoneline then Firewalls and Antivirus are all off on all machines.

Hi,What are the general specs of the machines?Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

OK real basic run down of the PC's is as follows:PC 1:AMD 64 X2 44001gb ram7800GTX 256mb PCI-eAsus A8N-SLI PC 2:AMD XP 28001.5gb ramATI X800 256mb AGPMSI KT4 UltraPC 3:AMD XP 30001gb ramFX5950 AGPMSI KT4 UltraAll use the onboard network, no extra cards for that.

Hi,All very nice machines!Any problems running single FS04 on any of them?Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

No all machines work great. Unlocked they get fps in the +50's with 20fps at busy airports.

Hi,I am sure that you are using the fastest machine as the host.You might try some of the free programs Mark suggested in his post below.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/
